Chiropractic Care
Hands-on chiropractic care at seven Chiro 1st clinics across the Puget Sound, built to restore joint motion, ease nerve irritation, and help you move better day to day.
Chiropractic Care in the Puget Sound
Chiro 1st offers chiropractic care at seven clinics across the Puget Sound: Auburn, Bellevue, Capitol Hill in Seattle, Everett, Federal Way, Kent, and Tukwila. Our licensed chiropractors use hands-on adjustments to restore movement in joints that have become stiff or restricted, which can take pressure off irritated nerves and surrounding muscles.
Care always starts with an exam, not a guess. We look at how you move, where the pain shows up, and what makes it better or worse. If imaging is needed, digital X-rays help us see what is happening in the spine before any adjustment is made. From there you get a plan that matches your diagnosis, your schedule, and the goals you care about.
- Licensed chiropractors at every clinic
- Exam and digital X-rays when needed
- Clear treatment plan before care begins
- Most insurance plans accepted

Chiropractic Techniques We Use
No two patients get the exact same treatment. Your chiropractor chooses techniques based on your exam findings, your comfort level, and how your body responds from visit to visit. Depending on your plan, care may include:
- Spinal adjustments for the neck, mid back, and low back
- Extremity adjustments for shoulders, hips, knees, wrists, and ankles
- Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) for posture correction at select clinics
- Soft tissue work to ease muscle tension around sore joints
- Rehab exercises and stretches you can keep doing at home
- Spinal decompression for disc-related pain when it is a better fit
If you are nervous about being adjusted, tell us. There are gentle options, and we will always explain what we are doing before we do it.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Most patients come in because something hurts. Many keep coming because they notice they move better, sleep better, and can do more of what they enjoy without paying for it the next day.
- Less pain and stiffness in the back, neck, and joints
- Better range of motion for turning, bending, and reaching
- A drug-free option for managing pain
- Faster return to work, sports, and daily routines
- Better posture and less strain from desk work
- A plan to help keep pain from coming back
Chiropractic care also works well alongside other treatment. If you were hurt in a crash or on the job, see our car accident care and work injury care pages.

Chiropractic Care FAQs
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor examines how your spine and joints move, finds areas that are restricted or irritated, and uses hands-on adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises to restore movement and reduce pain.
Is chiropractic care safe?
For most people, yes. Chiropractic care is a common, non-surgical treatment. Your chiropractor reviews your health history and does an exam first, and will refer you to another provider if chiropractic care is not the right fit.
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during an adjustment. Some feel mild soreness for a day or so afterward, similar to after a workout. Gentle techniques are available if you prefer them.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and how your body responds. Your chiropractor will give you a recommended plan after your exam and check your progress along the way.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can book online or call any Chiro 1st clinic directly without a referral.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care?
Many health insurance plans cover chiropractic care. Our team can help verify your benefits before treatment starts, and we offer affordable self-pay rates if you do not have coverage.
