Would give more stars if I could. This story starts over 2 years ago when I suffered a herniated disc that led to severe foot drop, knee pain, and constant back pain. My initial experience with physical therapy left me feeling pretty hopeless that I would ever return to anything close to "normal." Running again--or feeling athletic at all--felt out of reach. When I walked into Tangelo, it was mostly because my back pain flared up after trying to get back into the gym and lose weight after so much inactivity. What stood out immediately was that even with my MRI results in hand, Dr. Mike still took the time to listen. I made it clear my goals were bigger than just pain relief--I wanted to run races again and get back to the level of athleticism I had as a college football player. Instead of a generic, one-size-fits-all plan, I got a thoughtful, progressive approach that actually aligned with those goals. We didn't just treat symptoms--we built strength, stability, and confidence step by step. Working with Lawrence was always impactful, as we focused on movements specific to running and my injury. For the first time since the injury, I felt like I was truly moving forward instead of just managing setbacks. Fast forward to now--I'm running races again and have set both a 10K and half marathon PR. That didn't feel possible not long ago. The entire staff created an environment that made you want to show up--great energy, great music, and always a warm welcome. If you're dealing with pain, setbacks, or feel like your goals are being dismissed, Tangelo is different. They don't just get you out of pain--they help you get back to doing what you actually care about. read more

These folks are very, very knowledgeable and skilled. They're also kind and professional. I used them for two injuries over a ten year period and would highly recommend them for sports rehab. Also, their layout and interior design makes doing physical therapy exercises much more fun and thus motivating. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Came in with constant back pain that sprang up without an injury and numbness down one arm. Dr Darling and team were able to work with me on mobility exercises and weekly adjustments to my back and neck. I am now pain free and very grateful for their expertise and care. I truly thought I was going to have to live with this discomfort every day, and now I don't even remember how bad it was when I look back, huge thank you to the amazing team!!!! read more

I've had such a great experience at Tangelo! Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. I started seeing Dr. Mike for hip pain that flared up postpartum. Him and Lawrence really took the time to understand what was going on and helped me build a routine that actually works for me, especially with the reality of being a busy mom who's constantly carrying, bending, and maneuvering in strange ways! Thanks to their care, my hip pain is gone, and I feel so much stronger and more confident. Scheduling is super easy, (thanks Joriah!), sessions run on time and they're very accommodative, and the whole process has been great. Most definitely would recommend! read more

For some time now, I've meaning to review of Dr. Mike Smith and his staff at Tangelo West Seattle. Without boring you with too many details, I had increasingly debilitating ankle pain from a serious injury 10 years ago and was probably looking at surgery to remove bone spurs. Fortunately, I walked into Tangelo on a whim and Dr. Smith was such a tremendous listener, he was able to develop an extremely effective program of hands on manipulation of my ankle, followed by physical therapy exercises with the very awesome Von to strengthen the stabilizing muscles and improve my balance. The results speak for themselves: before Tangelo I couldn't walk more the 6,000 steps per day before the pain started in earnest. Within weeks of treatment, I was easily averaging+ 10,000 steps per day, enabling me to lose weight and gain back my overall health. I highly HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mike Smith, Von, and the rest of his staff. read more

Tangelo - West Seattle Chiropractor + Rehab - Before treatment, I couldn't go more than 6,000 steps per day without pain. After working with Dr. Mike, I'm averaging 10,000+ steps daily. - Chiropractors Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been seeing Dr. Mike Smith at Tangelo West Seattle for help with managing my lower back pain, and I couldn't be happier with the care I've received. From the start, he took the time to listen and understand my situation, and tailored a treatment plan that truly worked for me. Not only did he help relieve my pain, but he also taught me exercises and strategies to help prevent it from coming back. His approach is thoughtful, professional, and very effective. I really appreciate how supportive and knowledgeable he is -- I feel much better and more in control of my back health thanks to him. Highly recommend Dr. Mike and the whole Tangelo team! read more

I've been going to their West Seattle location for about 3 months now and it's changed my life! I absolutely love the staff there-- everyone is so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. It's so clear this team cares so much about their patients. Working with David + team on my lower back issues has tremendously improved my pain. I was close to a 7-8 in pain when I came in, and now I'm consistently more in the 1-2 range. Also, I love how they gave my exercises I can do at home. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Had an excellent experience with Tangelo: Dr. Mike, Von + team! I came with pain in my left glute and a massive bike camping trip looming. Tangelo helped me get back on track and helped me improve my stability on the bike. Fully recommend them! read more

Coming out of Yelp review retirement to share all the writing love I can for Tangelo. For context, I've long had a sort of mid-back weirdness (not quite pain but something was off). We're talking over a decade. And most practitioners dismissed the issue when I inquired about investigating it further. In the last handful of years, I began to push more and finally convinced a doctor to order some imaging. It appeared that I had a bone spur on a rib. It was strange, though, because most people said bone spurs typically don't cause pain. Fast forward to June 2023. Took a long uncomfortable flight and when I returned home, the pain was unbearable. It quickly grew worse and I ended up in the emergency room on July 4 weekend. I proceeded to see numerous so-called pain specialists post ER visit and all of them (ALL OF THEM) only offered aggressive pain medication to deal with the issue. They ordered imaging, sure, but even with those data, still resorted to prescribing medication (making the order for imaging feel more or less like a money grab for the hospital but that's another review). At this point I'm basically "walking" (if that's what you can call it) around hunched over because the pain is so excruciating. In what feels like an act of divine intervention, I communicate to my naturopath that I wanted to see a holistic type of rehab facility, I've seen so many PTs and chiropractors in the past that sort of just show me some exercises or crack my back and send me on my way. I wanted something different. Thankfully, she referred me to Tangelo. When I walked in, I was kindly greeted by a front desk staff person. I then met with Dr. Mike Smith, he invited me into his workspace, offered me a seat and proceeded to spend over an hour with me. Let's just stop there for a minute: Spent Over An Hour With Me Discussing My Experience. I'm sure we're all aware of how extraordinarily rare that is. What I will never forget about that appointment is how thorough Mike was with the evaluation. He asked such detailed questions. And also conducted a physical examination. What is unique about Tangelo is the mix of both chiropractic care with physical therapy support. After my extensive time with Mike, I proceeded to work with Von, who is an amazing physical therapist. And like Mike, Von demonstrated such care and knowledge about how to get back to recovery. They both believed in me much more than I believed in myself. And fast forward not even a year later, I'm not only walking upright, but I am back at it with my HIIT and bootcamp classes. Feeling strong and confident in my body in a way that I NEVER have. So, if you have ANY issues with pain, I would highly recommend giving Tangelo a shot. It was life changing for me. Thank you Mike and Von! I have so much love and appreciation in my heart for you! TLDR: Tangelo changed my life. After years of being dismissed by doctors and other health providers, Tangelo helped me walk upright again and empowered me to be able to trust my body again. read more

I can't recommend Tangelo enough! I've always had issues with the whole left side of my body (various pain in foot, knee, hips, shoulder, neck). I've been to a handful of chiropractors throughout the Seattle area over the years, and each time I always ended up feeling like I wasn't finding the root issue to address; we were always just putting a bandaid on the symptoms and they would come back quickly. Dr. Mike and Von (and the whole crew) are amazing. It was the first time someone actually addressed and explained my issues, and gave me simple, concrete ways to execute feeling better long term. If you're having any sort of functional body issues, this is the place to go. read more

I want to start by saying I broke my back twice and underwent two back surgeries in 2008 and 2009 and after finishing my soccer career in college I was told I would never run again. Fast forward to now, Dr. Mike Smith at the West Seattle clinic has gotten me to a place where I can actually run again. So after 14 years of not running, I recently hit my 2 mile mark and am feeling better than ever. I had always been told the same story by doctors/PT's and Dr. Smith really had such a different outlook on things - mind/body connection was huge for me and understanding we're going to undergo different "seasons" with our body/injuries. I am so thankful for him and the team at this clinic for helping me not only physically but mentally as well. I felt supported the entire way and I will continue to check in moving forward. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

There is something powerfully energetic about Tangelo. The positivity is palpable. I knew everyone there was going to profoundly change and help me from the moment I walked through the door into the lively space. It's not a normal doctors office. This place is fresh and uplifting with an open rehab floor animated by very audible music playing in the background. People are all over performing athletic exercises. Everyone (yes, even patients) look happy and ARE happy. Tangelo makes you feel hopeful. The morning I visited Tangelo was the fourth day of excruciating and immobilizing pain in my low back, hips, glutes, and legs. I was unable to leave my house, feed myself, get dressed, and had to crawl between rooms of my house. I was nearly hopeless and felt like a prisoner to my body. I am 26, athletic, and couldn't begin to wrap my head around how I got to this place. Dr Mike explained my pain so clearly and quickly to me. Immediately I was able to holistically understand how muscles I'd never heard of were interconnected and working to sabotage (my words) my body - but he said with absolute affirmation that he could help me. He hasn't failed in this statement. With the help of him, Robb, and Emmie (his wonderfully sincere and fun rehab specialists), and a lot of work on my end, I am stronger than I was before my car accident. As a doctor, Mike focuses on managing pain through strength. He always emphasizes strength over weakness and his process uses manual manipulation and strength training that is incredibly intuitive. Whenever I'm having a hard day everyone is so positive in refocusing me. Every time I leave his office I walk out feeling physically and emotionally better than before I came in there. I look forward to coming here every week. Currently, I'm combining their rehab with Orangetheory as my "medicine", as Dr Mike would say. Athletically, I'm performing really well. I still maintain a level of pain but I have no days where it's worse, it's always progressively better. I know I still have some time left and progress to make, but being here has truly made me optimistic about my healing process. I can't begin to tell you and this team how thankful I am they came into my life. If there is one thing pain has taught me, it's a massive amount of empathy for anyone who is in pain every day. If this is you I hope you get the help you need. Tangelo is a great place for healing. read more

Dr. Mike, Von, and the entire Tangelo group are amazing. I went to see Dr. Mike as a referral from a friend for a shoulder injury that had been lingering for a month after a CrossFit workout. During the initial consult I found out my rotator cuff was torn. The prescribed treatment was 8 weeks of PT 2x week. This was great news because the other option was surgery. Throughout the entire process Dr. Mike and Von were informative about the where I was at in the recovery process. Each week would be massage/treatment and different movements to begin rebuilding the strength in the area of the injury. Not only very knowledgeable, they were friendly making it a comfortable and fun process. If you ever need any PT work done I cannot recommend Tangelo enough. read more

I had an amazing experience at Tangelo West Seattle! I have struggled with a painful shoulder condition for several years. I have been to many doctors, done PT and even acupuncture. It wasn't until I began working with Dr. David Mobley did I finally get permanent pain relief as well as improved mobility in my shoulder. The entire staff are friendly and professional and Dr. Mobley asked a lot of great questions and really took the time to figure out what was causing my shoulder pain. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone experiencing chronic join paint or needs help rehabbing a sports injury. You will not be disappointed! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Aaron for many, many years. He has been my Chiropractor and assisted with my physical therapy many times. Dr. Aaron is personable, confident and on top of his game. He listens to your issues wholeheartedly and does not minimize any issues or pain that you may be experiencing. He never makes you feel hurried and always addresses any questions that you may have in detail until you have a good understanding of anything that is being done. In my experience he will participate in your physical therapy activities when he can and do the exercises alongside you. I can not go on enough about his personality. He genuinely makes you feel like a good friend and that he cares about you and your health and quality of life. I believe that he also genuinely feels that his patients are his good friends. I have also been to a number of other chiropractors over the years and often find them to be hurried and at times sales people. Often this creates an experience where you just feel like a number getting an adjustment. You WILL NOT get this treatment from Dr. Aaron in any way, shape or form. I recommend Dr. Aaron completely and anyone who is seen by him will look forward to future appointments. read more

I found Tangelo from a friend, my wrist was getting tendinitis frequently and I'm an artist so that's scary. I decided to try it. They not only worked on the pain with the chiropractor, they then spend the rest of your visit learning exercises on how to build that area up, how to stretch, give more muscles, so your pain doesn't happen again! They are genuinely concerned with setting you up for success. One could argue it may have been a fluke, but a few years later I take up running. I injured my back at age 35! I went to them to ask for help, hoping this isn't just how life is and that I can fix it and prevent it from happening again. Long story short, it was the same! They taught me ways to fix the pain, and work up running slowly, and how to stretch and build up muscles so I wouldn't get that pain again. They also don't mind that I'm a chatterbox! They truly feel like friends. Not to mention how clean they are during COVID times. They clean everything everybody touches as soon as they're done with the equipment, and have reduced the amount of people allowed in the building. They also told me whenever I get pregnant that I can come in there for that too! Pre and post baby! They're stuck with me :) Can't sing their praises enough. read more

Let me cut to the chase: this is where you go when you want your issue(s) fixed. Not just feeling better but *being* better. At 52, I've been through my fair share of doctors, treatments, and approaches for all kinds of back issues, including plenty of PT, Chiro, bodywork, acupuncture, etc. Tangelo is set up to provide everything you need in one place, with an expert, integrated team working together in a very personable and straightforward manner to deliver truly effective results. I worked with Dr. Mike for hands-on therapy including massage/chiro, cupping, taping, Graston Technique, etc. He always took the time to really help me understand what was going on with my body, how the various treatments would help, and what were doing as a team to improve the situation, in the short-term and beyond. My PT was with Robb who provided the perfect combination of instruction, encouragement, and listening... even with us both masked up! Both are very genuine and friendly guys who I always look forward to catching up with, and the way they work together is what really sets Tangelo apart. In fact everyone there is super nice, and even the music is good! It's a busy place but I never felt like I was being rushed through, always given as much time and attention as I needed. I did have to pay out of pocket as my HMO didn't cover my work with Tangelo. But for the total relief from the pain I came in with, the deep understanding I gained of the problem and the path to a solution, and perhaps most importantly the confidence that Mike & Robb worked to successfully build in myself and my abilities... totally worth it! read more

Dr. Dave Mobley is AWESOME! Not only is he talented in what he does, but he's also intelligent, kind, patient, intuitive, and has a calming and zen presence puts people at ease instantly. Since Covid hit, I had stopped doing movement exercises and were working longer days in front of a computer in a not-so-great chair and ended up with a very stiff and tight neck and back. Thanks to Dr. Mobley as well as Rob / Michele (PT) who came up with tailored exercises to meet my needs for each visit (and were easygoing and fun to talk to), I was fixed up in no time! I have way more range and flexibility after a month and also see noticeable changes in my posture due to the adjustments and the PT work that holds the adjustments in place. Also Rasaja was extremely kind, responsive, and wonderful to work with in scheduling appointments! Nothing but great things to say about this office and the people-oriented community they've built! Thank you Tangelo West Seattle! read more

I've always been afraid of the idea of chiropractors. What I thought of them was just the extreme cases you see on YouTube. I had neck/back pain that was becoming disruptive to my work and physical activities. I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Mike Smith who over the span of a few months and regular visits taught me how my pain originated and how to keep it from coming back. It was more than treatment, it was educational. My visits were also followed by exercises with Devon that I could do at home or at a gym with minimal equipment. I learned more about preventing the same pain that comes back time after time. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith and Devon! read more

I have had on & off lower back issues for years, and after a few acute spasms decided it was time to take action. I was torn between seeing a chiropractor, which I had done in the past, or physical therapist for treatment. When I discovered Tangelo, it was like the best of both worlds! Dr. Dave is Mobley is wonderful, the chiropractic adjustments & treatments were always thoroughly explained. I really felt like he was working to correct the root cause of the discomfort, not just making it feel better in the moment. The second half of each visit consisted working with Robb to learn exercises/stretches to actually build up muscle in the areas that would prevent injury & pain in the future. By providing me with the knowledge needed to manage these issues in the future, I really did feel like the team had my best interest at heart. And I now have a toolkit to continue the work at home. And coming from someone with virtually zero weightlifting experience, the experience was actually quite fun! About halfway through my 12 sessions I discovered I was pregnant, and the entire team was able to modify any exercises as needed. I never felt compelled to do something I was not comfortable with, and always left looking forward to my next session. Should the situation arise where I feel like I need a tune-up, I know exactly where I'll be headed. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mike for the last few months for neck, shoulder and back pain. Over the course of the pandemic, my pre-existing back flared up and my neck/shoulders were in a lot of pain from the constant desk work. For the first time, I feel like my pain is being managed correctly. Not only has my pain level drastically decreased, but I feel stronger overall. The treatment at Tangelo is multidimensional and holistic and I'm so appreciative of the time and care they put in. I would highly recommend Tangelo to anyone! read more

I asked my doctor for a referral to a chiropractor because after 10 years of lower back pain, I couldn't take it anymore. I kept assuming the pain was my fault, and thought that stretching, rest, ice and moderate activity would solve it. What i really needed though, was TANGELO! My first impressions were two-fold: 1. Dr. Mike Smith (chiropractic doctor) and Robb Lamb (MS, ATC/CSCS, strength conditioning) talked to me like an equal and wanted me to UNDERSTAND what my body was doing and WHY they knew their methods would work. As a sceptic (10 years of pain does that to you) and a woman, this mattered to me. 2. They were SO POSITIVE. Like, they really believed they could fix my back pain. That energy is contagious. After 4-5 weeks of visiting them (3x/week - put in that time!!).... * my back pain has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY * I have a tool kit of exciting at-home exercises I can do because I WANT to (not because I have to do boring physical therapy) * and my confidence in my body's ability has GROWN. A typical 45 minutes visit includes time with both the chiropractor and time for sports conditioning -- The doctor does muscle massage stuff, cupping, taping, and talks details about what is working/not working, tissue progress, etc. -- Sports conditioning includes lifting weights (stuff I never thought I could do or was too scared to try), stretching and other exercise stuff that is baller and fun! I honestly can't recommend them enough. They rock. P.S. The woman at the front, Rasaja, deserves a major shout-out, too. She is kind, knowledgeable and incredibly consistent and quick with replies and scheduling! Makes the whole experience calm and easy (especially when things like insurance claims can be stressful). read more

With only a few visits, Dr. Mike and Devon at Tangelo West Seattle helped me resolve issues with my neck and back. They're a great team, with Dr. Mike doing the manipulations and care management and Devon expertly guiding me through exercises on the workout floor. They provided care and guidance beyond just treatment for the problem at hand, setting me up with an exercise/workout routine to help me avoid similar issues in the future. The only minor issue with my visits was sometimes my time on the workout floor felt too short as they schedule patient visits very close together. read more

This place is fantastic. If I could come get my body worked on daily by Dr. Mike and Rob, I would. I am mid 30's, and want to ensure the longevity of my body, and coming to Tangelo has been the best thing for me. I am a former athlete and used to have my body worked on daily. Now, having a family, working, life demands, etc., it is difficult to get proper workouts in and my body has adjusted and compensated for the weaker areas. Bringing Tangelo in to the mix has been crucial to get everything working together again to extend the active lifestyle that I choose to live. Thank you so much everyone at Tangelo! read more

Tangelo West seattle has such a great team. From the ease of booking my first appointment to doing exercises on the rehab floor with Devon to the consultation and multimodal approach from Dr. Mike smith. The entire process and program is seamless ! The team is consistently organized and on time. Each interaction I have had has always felt personalized and I feel like they truly care about the progression I am making. I have never had a Dr break down and explain the body and the physical mechanics. Dr. Smith made it easily understandable and digestible. I have made great progress so far and want to thank the team for what they have done to help me. I highly recommend. read more

I was ignoring a running injury for month and then I totally bit it wakeboarding which did a number on my lower back. The combination of the two injuries led me to see Dr. Dave at Tangelo. Dr. Dave had the lower back injury feeling better in a matter of a few sessions. The running injury required me to show up for PT appointments at least 2x per week and do home exercises, too. I committed to it all - and within 6 weeks, I was running without pain and have learned a lot about the value of warming up and building strength. The whole experience was very holistic, healing, and fun. Tangelo exceeded my expectations; I have learned so much about how to be a strong runner and my running times are faster than ever. read more

Dr. Mike, Von, and the entire Tangelo team are wonderful! They helped me with foot pain, and I received an education on what's causing it and how I move. I'm back to doing everything I want to do. read more

I probably won't be able to accurately express my appreciation for Tangelo in this review so bottom line - they are amazing, go see them for any pain or injury you may be experiencing. Highly recommend. My doctor referred me to Tangelo based on feedback from other patients. I'm so thrilled to have found them and will never go back to traditional PT and/or chiropractic care again. Imagine a model where a super welcoming and skilled staff of chiropractors and physical therapists partner and communicate about your care! See a chiropractor and a PT in the same visit! Dr. Mobley has helped me truly understand my injury and how to take care of my body. Sean, Robb, and really all the PTs genuinely care about helping you reach your goals - whatever they may be. They have a really special thing going on there and you should go and be a part of it. read more

Have you ever put off writing a review because you didn't know if you'd be able to find the right words to accurately describe how much the experience meant to you, and continues to mean to you? That's me right now. 100%. I don't even know where to begin... So, I guess I'll just start with anxiety. Anxiety, stemming from PTSD and a very long and traumatic life experience is what started my chronic neck pain. I was living my life in a constant state of fight or flight. And to some degree, I still battle this every day. And while exploring treatments for my mental health, it never occurred to me that this was actually playing a role in my physical health as well. Long story short, my muscles were always tense, bracing for impact. My shoulders, neck, chest... It was so bad that it actually impacted the way I was breathing. And, because I'm highly functional even with these issues, I always just assumed I was sleeping on my neck wrong, or I needed a new pillow... or even that I just injured it and it never healed correctly. I just ignored it and hoped it would go away. Then it got worse. Way worse. And I had enough. We have one life on this planet. Why live in constant pain? It was impacting my mood and my ability to work. Yuck. I went to my PCP, and she suggested some physical therapy. I was really skeptical, but I heeded her advice and went in search of a physical therapist. If you've tried physical therapy and it didn't work, you need to give Tangelo a try. They're not just physical therapy. They're like this perfect hybrid of Chiropractic (with an actual doctor!), physical therapy (which is like its own mini workout!), and just overall positive and healthy well-being! Like many other Yelpers have mentioned, their goal here is to help you improve on your own, not to be a band-aid that you need for life. The physical therapists work hand and hand with the sports medicine doctors to give you the exact treatment you need for recovery. It's amazing what they can do for your overall health. When I first came in, I was an anxious mess. Dr. Lisa sat down with me and listened. She let me tell her everything and really tailored my treatment to exactly what was bothering me. Not only did she do adjustments, she also suggested natural supplements to help me with calming, adrenal gland issues, and just basic vitamins and minerals I was missing. She took a little time with me each session to discuss how I was feeling, both mentally and physically. Tyler and the physical therapy team then took Dr. Lisa's findings and created special exercises just for my issues. The whole team works really hard to educate you on how your body works and how everything is connected. I was given exercises to do at home, plus tools to help me succeed in creating healthy habits, like better posture! And above anything else, walking into Tangelo is like getting a giant hug. Every single person there makes you feel like you're part of their family, that you're important to them, and you're safe. They listen, they ask questions. Heck, they all remember the little things all their clients tell them and then care enough to ask about those things when you come back. Lastly, physical therapy is expensive. So is chiropractic care. I have good insurance and it still got pretty expensive for me. But has been 1000% worth it. I've cut back on other spending (like buying coffee instead of making it at home, etc.) and haven't felt it too much. However, I know I'm one of the lucky ones to have the insurance I DO have. If you have insurance and you're living with pain, don't live with pain anymore. You don't need a referral. Just go. You'll start out going pretty frequently. But then you'll cut back more and more until you're just calling them for maybe a tune up now and then. read more

These guys are seriously magicians. Better than that really, because they use science, education, and a tremendous amount of skill in everything they do. I've been living with shoulder pain for probably about 10 years, going from tolerable to annoying to waking me up multiple times in the middle of the night. Within two weeks of regular visits to Tangelo, I slept through the night pain free for the first time in a very long time. Dr. Mike was so great at listening to my concerns, explaining to me what was going on, and making sure I felt confident in the Tangelo approach and possibility of living pain free. Robb and Garrett have both been so helpful in getting me stronger and equipping me with modifications and mobility exercises. Best of all, everyone there has been friendly and hilarious. PT isn't something I ever imagined looking forward to but I genuinely love coming in to Tangelo and working with these folks. Bottom line: if you have any sort of pain, stiffness, or general discomfort, this is your place. It was easy to set up appointments, easy to bill my insurance, and easy to FEEL BETTER. What more could you ask for? read more

The team at Tangelo have been total lifesavers for me to get proper movement and motivation back in my shoulder. And they are as professional as they can get. Front of House experience: Their front desk staff always calls me by name when I come in and send me appointment reminders via text the day before my appointments. They have a range of bubble waters available for you to drink and have free wi-fi in their waiting area - but I have honestly never had to wait as the crew there is super on time. Dr.: I lost range of motion after a mishap working out and Dr. Dave has nurtured me back to health in no time. He is incredibly detailed in his assessment of my injury every week and never has me working on the same thing twice. He explains everything he is doing and makes you feel really comfortable. I have never done cupping before and he helped me understand the benefits for my injury and it seriously has helped me tremendously. And Dr. Dave is super personable - making you feel like he genuinely cares about not only your health, but your overall well-being as an emotional human being. He is wonderful! PT Staff: Not only do they know their stuff, but they are also fun, especially Rob. He pays attention to what you say to him, even if it is a silly story from your childhood and he'll remember the story and bring it up at the most pristine of moments. He makes you feel like you are just doing physical therapy with a friend which is very welcoming. He switches up your exercises, is super in-tune to how you are progressing, and knows how to get you to step it up a notch. Overall, if you need a place to fix an old or new injury, go no where else but Tangelo! read more

When asked about my experience with Tangelo, my response is always the same: MAGICAL! There is no other word to fully-encompass the therapy, knowledge, and culture that resides within the walls of this facility. Before Tangelo, I pushed through my day with constant, nagging aches and pains throughout my back and neck. My interest in physical activity waned, leaving me indoors and on the couch. After just two months with Tangelo, I now breeze through my day without a single thought related to my previous discomfort. The time that was once dedicated to sitting on my couch is now committed to bike riding, bouldering, and weight training. Tangelo has allowed me to take back control of my life. Dr. Mike, Dr. Meghan, Garrett, and Robb are a stellar team! Their personalized therapy plans, alongside their positive encouragement instilled a sense of confidence in my abilities -- a confidence I lacked prior to my time at Tangelo. I left each appointment thinking, "I can do this. I will get better." And I did! If you are looking to successfully heal injuries, aches, and/or pains, I highly recommend seeking guidance from the specialists at Tangelo. Their multi-technique approach to care is not only convenient (one-stop shopping), it is incredibly effective! read more

After hearing about Tangelo from a trusted friend, I showed up on the opening day of their West Seattle location and scheduled a consultation with Dr. Mike Smith. I had injured my sacroiliac joint 30 years ago, playing college volleyball. Having been active throughout my life (skiing, hiking, volleyball, soccer, basketball) I got used to dealing with injuries and thought my S-I pain was my adult norm. While the pain wasn't debilitating, it was always there, and quite often my 4- or 5-mile daily walk would aggravate it, as would various other common daily movements (standing, sitting too long, lounging on the couch, etc.). Over the past 20 years, I had tried numerous medical interventions, including traditional sports medicine, physical therapy, massage, chiropractic treatments, acupuncture, and all of the above in different combinations. While I would experience some immediate relief with a few of these, none of them had a lasting effect. At my first visit, Dr. Smith took the time to really listen to my history, current exercise routine and goals. Then he put me through a series of common movements and watched as I balanced and moved - in my natural state. I feared that he would tell me there was something structurally wrong with the joint and that since I had lived with it for 30 years, there was no fixing me. I was surprised to learn his diagnosis: he suggested where I might be "too strong", and where some muscle groups could be more efficient. Dr. Smith explained that if I did the work to retrain my glutes/hamstrings and core to better engage in the right sequence, the outcome would likely relieve the stress on my S-I joint. And he had a plan to help me get there. The Tangelo approach is truly holistic. Rather than treating only the pain point, they focus on the whole body and whole person. At each appointment, the docs treat the focal area and surrounding tissues with a variety of techniques selected for your unique condition including ART, Graston Technique, massage, cupping, chiropractic adjustments and Kinesio tape. Then, the Rehab Team (Emmie, Robb, Geneva) executes the plan for strength-building and flexibility exercises as well as foam and/or ball rolling; all designed to build healthier and more efficient movement habits. Together, the Tangelo team helps create a "toolkit" of exercises and movement awareness, while treating the affected areas of your body, so you can continue to use the tools to get stronger. I have been a regular at Tangelo since July 2018. In the early stages of my journey, I visited the clinic twice per week. As I started to build strength, I progressed to weekly visits, and I recently transitioned to monthly maintenance visits. Using the toolkit Dr. Smith and team designed for me, I have strengthened and fine-tuned my glute/hamstring and core muscles to reduce the load my S-I joint needs to carry. I have the occasional moment where my S-I joint causes minor pain, but I know how to access my toolkit and focus on my new movement habits. I've been so pleased with my experience that I've also brought my daughter to Tangelo for treatment of a soccer injury, and my husband has his first appointment next week for a soccer injury. If you are looking for a quick fix, Tangelo is not the place for you. If you are willing to do the work, both at the studio and at home, you will get stronger and move better. The entire team is unwaveringly positive and encouraging, from Kristina who greets you with a smile at the check-in desk, to the Rehab team, to Dr. Smith. Everyone at Tangelo is there to support you as you learn and solidify your new movement habits. If you commit to yourself, you will get results at Tangelo! read more

Tangelo - West Seattle Chiropractor + Rehab - Mother/Daughter twinning with Kinesio tape - Chiropractors Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was in a car accident and had significant back pain. I'm typically very skeptical of chiropractors. My previous experience was that they helped people for a short period, but the patient had to continue to see them weekly or monthly for the rest of their lives. I was not interested in needing an adjustment every month for the rest of my life. Tangelo is sooo different! Mike helped give me the care I needed with hands-on adjustments, but more importantly gave me tools to stay healthy and keep my back from getting re-injured with specific exercises to increase strength where needed and how to upkeep at home. The whole team really cares about you as an individual patient, giving the time and attention needed. If I ever need to see a chiropractor again, I'll be seeing Mike every time. read more

I highly recommend Tangelo! I originally booked an appointment to help manage some hip pain - which they quickly helped me resolve. More notable is that through detailed attention from the team I have been able to mitigate chronic Achilles pain that I had previously assumed was my day-to-day normal. Their model is a blend of hands-on therapy and focused exercises, which have really helped me to sustain the healing and strength building. As a runner, yogi, and sometimes couch potato - I would recommend the team at Tangelo to my closest of friends. read more

I spent a few months with Rob and Mike at Tangelo in West Seattle working through some old back and shoulder injuries. Both of them came across as real, genuine people who were interested both in treating the pain and providing me with tools I can use to proactively treat flareups in the future. I learn best when people take the time to explain the mechanics and rationale behind what they think is going on, and both of them were able to accommodate that. This is the third different place I've gone to with these issues, and will be going back if needed in the future. read more

Highly recommended; I worked with a few other places to address a low back injury and they all left me wanting. My first visit with Dr Smith at Tangelo was a game changer. I felt like he actually listened to me and tailored the treatment and rehabilitation plan specifically to my needs. Dr Smith and team closely monitored my progress and gave me the tools I needed to recover and get back to pre-injury status; helping me strike the right balance between challenging myself without overdoing it. I can't say enough good things about my Tangelo. Every visit was highly personalized and just what I needed to recover from a very painful injury without surgery. If you're frustrated with your journey to recovery elsewhere; do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

I really appreciated that Tangelo, Dr. Mobley, and Rob (PT), gave me a comprehensive view of my injury, and a holistic program with table sessions and exercises to not only help with my recovery but also education on how I can prevent it in the future. The missing star is because scheduling was unusual... Session were showing up that I wasn't aware of and I felt like I had to stay on top of the texts and e-mail notifications to avoid cancellation fees. read more

I've been going to Tangelo over the past couple of years for various reasons (I am very clumsy) and have never had a negative experience. Dr. David and Rob always work with me and listen to my goals to develop a collaborative plan. Everyone is genuinely kind and encouraging during appointments. I will be honest-to-god sad when I finish treatment but I also know it will only be a matter of time before I injure myself again. read more

I was recommended to tangelo by my coworker and I'm so grateful that I was! I've gone to a few other chiropractors and always felt like my results didn't stick unless I was constantly in the office. Tangelo is exactly what I was looking for and I love being able to maintain my wellness independently. read more
