Dr. Krause is amazing. He takes time to fully understand what is hurting and what may actually be influencing the pain to address the cause and not just the symptoms. He remembers the little things and makes you feel comfortable. He explains what he is doing and why he is doing it, so you are part of the process and journey with him. read more

I have tried many Chiropractors in the last 10 years and dr. Krause by far the best. He spent at least 30 min for adjustment and to listen to you. read more

Dr. Krause changed my life. I got in a nasty car crash a while back and finally convinced myself to see someone. I was skeptical at first on seeing a chiropractor, but I was told by a good friend of mine that this would be my guy. I scheduled an appointment before COVID-19 hit. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see him until recently. He took me in and took my xrays. Not knowing how badly my neck really was, he went over all of adjustments he recommends to correct my injuries. I asked him all the stupid questions and he was able to break it down for me in a way that made sense. Not only that, he showed me exactly where my bones were and how they are supposed to be. Breaking it down Barney style for me was one of the nicest things a doctor could have done for me. Now I have a plan set for me and I'm seeing him twice a week. After my first session with him, I went home and had the best nights sleep I've had in years. I can't wait to go back. This man is changing my life for the better. If you want someone to fix your back or adjust you In an way you didn't even know was possible, he's your guy. Thank you again Dr. Krause for changing my life. read more

I recently had a nightmare plane flight that was over 10 hours (the kid in front of me literally put their hand on my face more than once.). When I returned I had pinched a nerve, which shot down the top of my arm. After a few visits, I am confident in Dr. Krause's abilities, motivation for wellness, and his follow through in keeping me informed. I was aware I'd put off addressing things that made me susceptible to pinching my neck. Computers, posture, service industry... And I'm thankful to have partnership as I move forward from here. For background - I had two previous experiences with chiropractic. One in CA, which helped me recover misalignment that pinched my sciatic nerve. They had given me a great impression of chiropractic. I was confused when others complained of lack of results, but would tell them the good ones are out there. Years later and living in WA, I partially dislocated my shoulder. I spent months going to a different Kirkland chiropractic office, near my doctors office. I saw at least 5 different practitioners. No X-Rays were done. Half were nice, all were rushed. I eventually stopped going, feeling I hadn't learned a lot beyond skepticism. I was tired by the idea of trying to find something better. So I didn't. Thank you, Dr. Krause, for renewing my faith in the practice again. Here I am not another insurance claim to shove through the door. Taking time to explain things makes a difference. And while I had an acute issue motivating me to come in, I am happy to be getting the tools for continued wellness as this moves forward. Definitely recommend! read more

Maggie and Dr Krause are both really nice! Maggie went above and beyond. I wasn't sure how much my insurance would cover and she went out of her way to contact my insurance for me to find out. When I met Dr Krause, he was very nice and explained why certain parts of my back hurts. He's very gentle! read more

Dr. Krause offers an exceptional level of care that you won't be able to find anywhere else. I've seen a handful of chiropractors and none of them compare. You will realize how passionate he is about helping you reach your wellness goals from the very first visit. If you're seeking an exceptional doctor look no further. read more

***UPDATE: I have lowered my rating to a one star from two star. After a lengthy 13day delay of my written review I was private messaged from the chiropractor Paul. At first I was semi impressed he reached out to me. As attached photo shows, I kindly informed him I had established care elsewhere. Instead of politely replying back in private message or just letting it be, he chose to still tell me a second time to call. This time he made it public, thus my further deduction of a star and a public second reply. I personally don't care for this style of business agenda, nor do I appreciate a pushy sales tactics. Maybe the private message to me did not reap the response hoped to elicit. Choosing to use public posting and redundantly telling me to call, this only causes me to feel motivation of public reply is driven more by the original lower two star rating than it is by genuinely be accommodating with Friday hours. If motivation to be accommodating was indeed the intent than in the future this would be more successfully conveyed by keeping original dialogue opened (via private message). None the less, I do wish the best for this business and the people they help.*** Kind phone etiquette but hours posted are misleading. Hours posted are for massage NOT chiropractic. Chiropractic services only offered Mon-Thurs. As an avid believer and user of doTerra and juice plus I was VERY excited to try this place for chiropractic. Unfortunately for meadjustments are not available Fri or Sat (or Sunday but no one offers Sunday). Understandable to only have Monday-Thursday but I feel like the advertising should reflect this and be accurate as well. read more

It's been several years (5 to be exact) since I've written a review for these guys - my bad. I still love them, now more than ever. Maggie, Galina, and Paul feel like family and are so kind, great listeners, and easy going. They're all customer service MASTERS! Unicorns! Gryffindors? Whatever, they're fantastic. Maggie is so easy to talk to and so incredibly kind. She always goes above and beyond to help out. Galina is all the above and an awesome massage therapist. I see her almost weekly, and she just makes my life better. Paul is great at adjustments, and he really cares about your well-being. He isn't one of these chiropractors that wants you to sign up for a $2,000 treatment package nonsense. Again, he actually cares about your well-being. They all do! So do yourself a favor and make an appointment. read more

An afternoon commute home, resulting in my car being smashed by a distracted driver was the prompting factor of me finding Dr. Krause. Desperately needing a chiropractor as I was in pain and experienced all sorts of back/neck issues from this accident I searched for a provider near my home. Before I made an appt. here I did my research and felt this was the place for me. Dr Krause's services are for all: believers and non believers in chiropractic care. He takes the time to explain his methods and treatment plan and will work with you to get a better you. He will listen to you and take into consideration all aspects of your lifestyle that may be causing pain. It's not ALL about the adjustment. I'm very particular about chiropractors. There seems to be so many providers that know the basic methods but don't take into considerations all aspects of healthy living, reflective pain, sensitivities etc. One more thing-I have always respected the fact that he does not trash MDs; he is more than willing to work in correspondence with your Dr. One year and two car accidents later, I'm on the road to recovery. I highly recommend Dr Krause; his experience has much value. My progress of structural healing is proof. read more

Dr. Krause has been my first experience with Chiropractic. I entered this world timidly several days ago, my preconceived notions of pops, snaps, traction and strange exercises always kept me from entering the Chiro World. It took a couple pushes, and one hard shove from my office staff and a doctor back home in Minnesota, but I finally made the leap and so far I am quite happy. In regards to the office location and ambiance: The office is situated in a strip mall of sorts, next to a Bank of America. And while the office sits rather unsuspecting, you walk in the doors and are greeted with fresh paint, live plants and friendly faces.The place is spotless which for me is a must! In regards to the office staff: I wouldn't say that I can speak authoritatively on this aspect yet, however I am blown away by the kindness that Maggie exudes. She is as sweet as honey, easy to talk to, and incredibly helpful. I can truly say that she is hands down one of the best customer service/receptionist I have ever encountered. In regards to Dr. Krause/Treatment: Again, I am new at this whole chiropractor thing, but so far, I have been impressed with the time Dr. Krause has dedicated to spending with me in addition to his ability to explain everything thoroughly including the theory behind chiropractics. Although I was skeptical at first, he did an awesome job soothing my fears and introducing me to a new way of thinking about my CNS/ANS health. He definitely won me over! I have suffered from back pain for a while and the x-rays that Dr. Krause took and examined with me indicated several years worth a bad posture that if went uncorrected would turn into a very serious problem later on in life. I am relieved that I found someone that cares as much about my health as he does. It is a breath of fresh air in the medical community and I hope it is only a matter of time before the AMA and other governing bodies recognize the benefits that chiropractics can offer the patient. read more

I had severe neck pain after a night spent sleeping on an especially bad hotel pillow. Dr. Krause fixed me right up. He took x-rays, examined my neck and spine, performed his manipulations magic and within an hour I felt better than I had in YEARS. Turns out that my neck and spine were out-of-whack for much longer than I thought. I had been living with the pain for so long that I had stopped noticing it. I saw a different chiropractor after a car accident a few years ago and never felt this good about the experience. I was so impressed with Dr. Krause that I have gotten my husband set up for treatments as well. I highly recommend him, and his friendly staff. read more

Dr. Krause, his team, and his facilities are the example that all other medical service providers should be evaluated against. The facility is top-notch and patient-centric. Everything in the facilities, from the color of the paint to the selection of materials, are designed to make the patient feel at ease and comfortable throughout their visit there. The equipment is well maintained and state-of-the-art. Dr. Krause has spared no expense to ensure that he has advanced equipment available to serve his patients' needs. His team is incredibly warm, friendly and knowledgeable. When I came in for my first visit I was greeted as if I was an old friend. The formalities of taking insurance information, filling out medical history, and payment for services were made to feel like an enjoyable experience with family. While I was waiting for my appointment one of the receptionists came over to explain everything that Dr. Krause would be doing during the visit. Most importantly, Dr. Krause knows his stuff. He has been able to show me (rather than speculate like other doctors) the mechanical issues that are causing my discomfort. I don't know what else there is to say except medical schools should use him as a case study for patient care. He is personable, genuine and sincere. He takes a very pragmatic approach and explains what he is going to do and explains it in a way that is accessible to the lay-person. He answers any questions you have in the same manner, all the while engendering confidence that he's going to take care of your problems and take you seriously. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone for chiropractic services or anyone who wants to know how a medical service provider should interact with their patients. read more

I was completely skeptical of chiropractors and considered the profession a scam in general until sudden debilitating back pain and horrible insurance coverage led me, in desperation, to Paul's door. I found Dr. Krause to be genuine, considerate of my financial situation and very good at what he does. He educated me on how to care for myself, helped me maximize the treatment, considering what my insurance would dole out for coverage, and had me pain free within a month. He's one of the good ones! read more

Thank you Dr. Krause for fixing up my bf's back when he could barely walk or move. Most of all, thank you Dr. Krause for putting a smile on his face and a very good mood when he leaves your office! Dr. Paul Krause went solo and opened up his own Lake Washington Wellness practice in Kirkland. Beside himself and another Chiropractor, he also have Acupunturist and Massage Therapist. The office is open space where he does his therapy. The atmosphere to his office is calm and quiet. I love the colors in each of the offices A MUST TRY! =) read more

All I have to say is: AMAZING! I was having some major lower back pains (like can't sit, walk, stand at all kind-of-pain) so I looked on Yelp for a chiropractor nearby. I came across Dr. Krause's practice and read through the reviews. Let me tell you, they are all accurate! The office is a very inviting space and atmosphere. Maggie is SUPER nice, friendly and helpful. Initially, they could not take my health insurance, but Maggie decided to check with them anyway just in case. She also called around to other chiropractors in the area to see if someone could take me with my insurance. Of course, she did this all with a HUGE smile on her face. However, because I was in a lot of pain, Dr. Krause decided to see me anyway and squeeze me in between other clients. He took down my history and then we were off to x-rays. He thoroughly explained what he saw in the x-rays and where to focus the work on. As we moved past the x-ray portion of the consultation, he talked me through all of his equipment as well as his normal routine. I felt really comfortable with him the entire time and he made sure I understood every part of the consultation. Next was the adjustment. Let's just say that I walked away with less pain than I had started, which was fantastic. He really does know what he's doing! One downside: not enough signage to find the office. It's hidden just past an Indian restaurant. read more

Our whole family comes to see Dr. Krause. He treats my children- 4, 6, 8 and 13 years old. I love that he treats each of them as individuals and has really taken the time to get to know them personally. He really listens to their needs instead of assuming what's best for them or ignoring them. My 4 year old says that Dr. Krause fixes his "donkey neck" (he's talking about Donkey from Shrek). I love that! I have seen several chiropractors and Dr. Krause is hands down the best out of them all. He has amazing bed side manner and I believe he truly cares about helping me get better. I love that he works on my neck and back a little at a time so that we can see what works and what doesn't. I appreciate him listening to what types of adjustments I feel comfortable with and the ones I don't. I truly hate the neck and head exercises and he hasn't made me do them once! Every other chiropractor I've had has insisted that I do them even though they hurt me. Dr. Krause will listen and respect you as a person and a patient. My husband has been going to chiropractors since he was a child and says that Dr. Krause is the best doctor he has ever seen. read more

My experience relates to Maggie, Dr. Krause's assistant. I am a recent transplant to Washington and was seeking a chiropractor in the area. Dr. Krause was ranked high in yelp and I reached out to verify my insurance coverage. Sure enough, Dr. Krause doesn't (currently) support my carrier. However, Maggie located a referral in my neighborhood. Dr. Krause contacted that chiropractor directly, verified my insurance with them and then got back to me with the contact information. I'll give that 5 stars. read more

I would give Dr. Paul Krause 10 stars if I could! He's always going above and beyond to offer the best care to his clients. I'm lucky to be one of them! I always feel better after my adjustment, and the traction/decompression is also a life saver! Because of the attentiveness and care to my specific needs I've noticed that I can go longer in between my appointment visits. Dr. Krause really cares about helping his clients and live a healthier more vibrant life! And the staff always make me feel welcome! If you're looking for a great chiropractor, go see Dr. Paul Krause! read more

This place is as good as it gets. The staff all the way around are extremely personable and will bend over backwards to accommodate you (pardon the pun). Dr. Krause is very professional and seems to be sincerely interested in your well being. I took advantage of an online coupon for new customers and started seeing him a few months ago to see if there was anything that could be done about my chronic lower back pain. I was immediately impressed with how thorough he was. He took an inordinate amount of time with me listening to my complaints and inquiring about my history as far as it pertains to my back. Once the xrays were looked over and he diagnosed the problem the pain relief started right away. I went into this venture hoping for the best but expecting that it may be much ado about nothing; I certainly wasn't expecting results right away. The morning after my first adjustment I was able to get out of bed without the usual stiffness and misery. Needless to say I was stunned. I had been crawling out of bed on my hands and knees for months before that. Unlike a lot of doctors, Dr. Krause seems to value my input and is always willing to alter his routine with me depending on what I feel are my "hot spots" at the moment. I couldn't be happier with experience there and I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you have back issues. read more

I had written a review for Dr. Krause, but wanted to shout out to Galina, their massage therapist. She does an excellent job! I was hurting from head to toe, mostly my lower back and trapezoid muscles had a burning pain. Dr. Krause had recommended massage along with my therapy. There's much to be said for professional, experienced therapists. She really targeted my aches and pains; I felt immensely better. So unlike the chain massage facilities like Massage Envy etc, whose sole purpose is to sell memberships and upsell products and services during your massage, and you never know if the therapist you like will be there the next time (high turnover rate) Galina has been with Better Back and Body for a long time. Highly recommended professional. I love the whole team at Better Back and Body :) read more

Love Dr. Krause and his staff! I've only been to the office a handful of times and two of those mostly consisted of taking and going over my xrays but I've been nothing but impressed! From the start, my phone call to make the appointment was totally painless. In fact, it was downright pleasant thanks to Maggie! Even over the phone she really makes you feel likes she's genuinely happy that you called her. This was no simple phone act as she was this way in person as well. Definitely one of the sweetest, happiest people I've ever met. If more people were like her the world would be a much better place. Dr. Krause himself was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was all about explaining EVERY step and I never felt he was just trying to push services on me in order to get that tasty Microsoft insurance payout. His tools are top of the line and the office itself is very sleek and comfortable. After only two adjustments I actually feel like I'm walking taller, my back pain is greatly reduced, and my neck even looks longer. Five grateful stars from me! read more

I have been to a couple different Chiropractors throughout the years and while good, they have nothing on Dr. Krause. He and his staff are very caring, SUPER friendly, and the office is nicely decorated and set up. I usually bring my 2 kids as I am a stay at home mom, and Dr. Krause, Maggie, and Kim are always so happy to see them and don't mind that my kids practically get into everything. Haha. Most importantly, since seeing Dr. Krause I feel 110% better than I have in a long time. That is also in part to the wonderful Massage Therapist, Patty. I have found that incorporating massages with the Chiropractic care has been a huge help and what a stress relief!! This place is about the only doctor's office I look forward to going to!!! I will totally recommend Dr. Krause and Patty to everyone I know! read more

I have been coming here for about two months now and I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate Dr. Krause. I threw out my back about two months ago and if any of you have experienced what that feels like you know how insanely painful it is. I couldn't walk and I thought the career I wanted to go into was over. To my surprise however, I looked up chiropractors and found Dr. Krause and my back, today, is better than it ever has been. I started seeing him four times a week just because of how much better my back felt after I saw him. Now I see him about once a week. I don't know what I would have done without Dr. Krause. Oh! And did I meant that the staff there is amazing!!! So sweet and kind, they actually care about how you are doing and they definitely build rapport with all of their patients. Thank you to everyone who works here and thank you Dr. Krause!!!! read more

Dr. Krause is an exceptional chiropractor with top notch service of care. Dr. Krause took the time to explain root/cause conditions and developed an appropriate care plan for me in an efficient manner. There were a few times where I needed feedback off hours and Dr. Krause was quickly responsive. His solid expertise and experience is evident; it's no wonder Dr. Krause was recommended to me by 3 of my friends. If you are looking for a chiropractor who can dial into a root cause and treat such, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Krause. read more

Dr. Krause is amazing! I went to him for extreme lower back pain that was inconsolable with anything I tried- and believe me when I say I felt as thought I exhausted all options. I was frequenting another chiro, trying massage, acupuncture & acupressure and NOTHING helped! When I finally gave up all hope I was referred to him by a friend who raved about his practice. I saw him for about two months, probably a total of 8-9 visits and have been pain free for over 6 months. His approach is gently & he is very thorough with his clients. I never once felt rushed out the door and he was more than happy to listen to my feedback and adjust his treatment accordingly. Scheduling was easy and I was promptly seen at each appointment. I will never go anywhere else. Can't say enough great things. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Krause has been helping me through a very bad bout of sciatica/slipped disc. I like the fact that he is personable and honest. He sat down with me, talked me through my insurance coverage and didn't try to get me to commit to a long-term program (as other chiropractors have done). We discussed a realistic approach to my care with great results. If you need a chiropractor, you should definitely consider Dr. Krause. read more

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Krause. He has been treating me for about three weeks now, and has alleviated years of pain and discomfort. I very much appreciate that he explains the problems precisely, shares his insights about a proposed treatment plan, and gives invaluable advice about correct posture and exercises that work in tandem with his spinal adjustments. I have had various other treatments for my neck and back before, but none of them have worked quite as well, and I have been able to resume a more active life, almost immediately after beginning the treatment. He is extremely caring, and does his best to accommodate his patients' requirements. His office is warm and welcoming, and I am especially grateful to Maggie, the warm and efficient clinic manager, who always has a nice word for everyone. I would recommend Dr Krause's clinic to everyone with back problems. read more

Nathan is a wonderful massage therapist and I would recommend him. I just referred my wife to go see him. He did a wonderful job addressing my pain points and he listens to what is bothering you. read more

Just received some excellent care for a hurting lower back from Dr. Krause. I've been a patient here before. Great care and service here. I highly recommend Dr Paul Krause at Better Back and Body. Maggie at the front desk is wonderful too. read more

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a chiropractor; one that I could trust and be comfortable with. I called the office and the receptionist Maggie answered. She answered all my questions and was very kind. She made me feel at ease. Dr. Krause is also very knowledgeable. He doesn't put any extra pressure on you for treatments but confidently describes the issue and necessary treatments. I'm giving this office five stars for a great atmosphere, great treatment, and most of all a very friendly staff! read more

I was getting migraines almost daily. They were originating in my tight neck. I finally decided I needed to do something besides just take medicine and try to stretch out the muscles. I called and Maggie was so sweet. She was so concerned and got me in as soon as we could find a time that fit my schedule. They are open a lot so that wasn't a problem. Dr. Krause was knowledgeable and caring. Explained everything and didn't insist that I needed to come in 3X a week for ever. Was very gentle on my first adjustment so I wasn't sore the next day and after the 1st adjustment I went over 2 months without a migraine. To say I was thankful is an understatement! I would recommend Dr. Krause (and Maggie) without hesitation. read more

I'm a Physical Therapist in Bellevue, WA and the owner of Human Function Physical Therapy. I had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Krause for many years before his move to the Juanita neighborhood. He does great diagnostic work and is as friendly, and ethical as they come, I'd recommend anyone in need of chiropractic services in Juanita to go see him, he's done a great job for all of my patients. read more

I came in with a bad back, and was causing strain on other joints to shift the weight away from the back. Dr. Krause worked on it a bit and now I'm able to do martial arts and gym workouts with any problems. If you have something that's holding you back, so see him! read more

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Dr. Krause for fixing me up and making the pain go away. For Chiropractor care i highly recommend Paul Krause. in his new office the Lake Washington Wellness at 9716 Juanita Drive NE Kirkland. If you suffer from back ,neck or hip pain he is the one to see. i went there in the middle of the day as i was working with a bad head ache and within several minutes after seeing Dr krause the pain was gone. I cant thank him enough read more

Congratulations on being voted the best chiropractor in Kirkland for the second time! The honor is so well deserved! Dr Krause clearly did not rest on his laurels after his win in 2011! He continues to treat his patients in a very professional and respectful way. He is extremely knowledgable and is always eager to share his knowledge so his patients fully understand their treatment and the underlying physical and medical issues. Add to this his warm, friendly, caring and fun personality and his awesome office manager and so much more, Maggie, and you have the perfect place to go for all of your chiropractic/massage needs. Kirkland is extraordinarily lucky to have Dr. Krause and Better Back and Body! read more

I love Dr. Krause and his staff. Recently moved to Kirkland and found Dr. Krause on yelp. I think his reviews are right on. I like the atmoshere of his office- everyone is VERY friendly. Dr. Krause was very in-depth on my initial exam. He took xrays in various ways so that he could see not only how my spine aligned, but how it moved. He takes a very mechanical approach to healing the body. It all works together, so it needs to be aligned. I like it! I also appriciated that he doesn't push a hard sell. I've been to chiropractors who want to sell you moving into their office for 6 visits a week... I've gone to the chiropractor regularly since I can remember. I just need an occasional asjustment and I feel great. After 2 short weeks, my neck is less tense and I feel great! If you are new to the area- check Dr. Krause out. You won't be sorry. read more

Jenfer is great for the deep tissue massage

Called Better Back and Body having some pretty severe lower back pain. Maggie was so kind on the phone, and they were able to get me in that evening. Maggie was an absolute pleasure to chat with while I waited for my massage. Their practice is really welcoming and well decorated. My masseuse, Andrea, was also extremely welcoming and friendly. I had the BEST massage I have ever had. She even called the next day to check in on me. 2 days later and I'm completely pain-free. The customer service and quality of work here is on point. Thank you!! I can't wait for my next appointment. read more

I've been a longtime patient of Dr. Krause and reiterate all the good things that have been said about him. Professional, kind, wholistic in his approach and he has an amazing staff too. I'm adding a personal note to this review because it may help you decide on choosing his practice. I was recently struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian and I'm looking at a long recovery. I've received hundreds of text messages and emails from near and far which I really appreciate. Today I received a get well card in the mail from Dr. Krause signed by everyone in his office. Who takes the time to buy a card then hand write a personal note anymore? He did. And that's impressive, especially for a doctor. read more

Dr. Krause is very thorough in his initial examinations to ensure he has his road map for your healing process laid out.. I was a bit skeptical about going to yet another chiropractor, but having the back and nerve pain I've been suffering from, I decided to give him a shot since he had the best reviews on here and he was close to where I live. I must say that I am very happy I ended up here. Dr. Krause's patience and in depth explanations of what he is going to do and how it will benefit me have made me much more comfortable about the benefit of seeing a chiropractor. And let's face it, it doesn't matter how nice, patient and smart someone is and sounds if that isn't backed up by results. I've only been in for 3 adjustments so far and already I've felt significant improvements in my nerve and back pain. The best part is I haven't been bent and twisted up into a pretzel once. NOT ONCE! : ) You obviously have my recommendation! read more
