I truly enjoy being a marathon runner. It’s thrilling for me to get into the groove and keep up with the crowd as the race travels through city streets normally reserved for vehicular traffic. But running also comes with some damage to the body. The constant pounding can be hard on the spine and knee […]
A Bellevue woman was suffering from crippling back pain. The pain was always present in her mid back as a dull throb, but would flare into the higher back and neck at times. Radiating pain drifted into her shoulders and throughout her abdomen. Twisting to look at something could be agonizing. Physical therapy was recommended […]
Like most moms, I’m extremely busy. Between taking care of the kids and the house, plus volunteer work for the school and scouts, I barely have time to catch my breath. But back pain can cause anyone to slow down. The first time I felt that twinge I ignored it. Push on through, I told […]
Have you ever been stretching after a nap, made the mistake of moving your neck wrong and found yourself with a severe crick in the neck? Or do you wake in the mornings and find that you simply can’t move your head without screaming pain in your neck? This was me for years. The smallest […]

I’m a busy woman, I didn’t have time to suffer from a rotator cuff injury. I work full-time and have three kids so I’m always on the go. Last winter, a fall in front of the grocery store caused serious problems with my schedule. I was walking in to pick up some pizzas for dinner […]
I recently visited chiropractor in Kirkland. I have four children and I love to play ball with them. Soccer, baseball, volleyball; I’m not picky. It’s family time for us that we all enjoy. At least, we enjoyed it before my back started hurting. It didn’t even start slowly. One day I was fine and the […]
