Success Stories

“When I first came in to see Dr. Chinn I had symptoms of Bell’s Palsy and the left side of my face didn’t work. Not easy to eat or drink with only half my lips working.  (I) could not blink with (my) left eye normally – had to use eye drops and tape (my) eye shut at night.My previous experience with chiropractic was that it has been useful for neck and back problems and was essential in helping heal a herniated disc in the past.  In just one week (one adjustment) the left side of my face is about 70-80% functional again.  Blinking normally again and more control of (my) lips.  This is a much faster recovery rate than my doctor predicted.”       Peter M.

"I can now hear out of my left ear after years and seeing over 7 hearing specialists and surgeons.  My vocation is piano repair and tuning, and my ears are kind of important to my job".       Ed H. - Olympia

"I have had 'low-grade' headaches for 34 years that have not completely gone away with regular chiropractic adjustments.  They are now gone!".  Brian W. - Kent

"I spent over 6 weeks training my eyes to focus - after getting my head adjusted, I am back to normal!".  Name withheld by request

 Growing up, as a teenager, I received beneficial results from a chiropractic doctor that relieved me from scoliosis, headaches, and numbness in one of my hands coupled with numbness in one of my legs. Twenty years have passed, and as a result of that earlier experience, I sought chiropractic care again, after suffering from the return of daily headaches together with numbness in my other hand. Fortunately, I had recovered from the curved spine— it was not a problem this time.

My diagnosis revealed that my neck was degenerating at a faster rate of speed than my years— in other words, my neck was quite a bit older than the rest of my body! This news did not surprise me, so I made the commitment to undertake regular chiropractic visits. After only a couple weeks, my symptoms had disappeared; however, I knew that if I did not continue, Dr. Chinn could not reverse the accelerated aging process that my neck had endured.

I had been feeling great; however, I felt as though I was continuing those regular visits on pure faith alone. It had become difficult to see the benefit of those routine visits until I took a long trip out of town. Normally, I would suffer from an aching neck and back after driving a car for more than an hour or two— it would take days to recover from the soreness. This last trip was different. I drove for three hours straight and after reaching my destination, I felt terrific— that was not “ Normal”. A couple days later, I returned home with absolutely no pain at all— It was incredible! I had finally experienced something tangible, as a result of taking proper care of my back.

Currently, I see Dr. Chinn twice a week now and eventually, I know, the frequency of my visits will diminish. But, I do not think that I will entirely eliminate an occasional adjustment or two— just to keep my new younger feeling neck and back healthy. I have truly become a firm believer in taking care of oneself from the inside out!
