Seattle's Top Chiropractor

So what does it mean when you see an ad for "Seattles Top Doctor"? It means that that a company has paid money to the magazine company for this form of advertisement to gain the "perception" of being the best in their profession. However, the truth is, that noone ever actually voted on these doctors nor is there any true objective measurements taking place. Basically, this is a paid method of marketing and of course, only the clinics who can afford this actually participate. So....the next time you read an ad about the "Top", make sure that you know this is a form of paid advertising. The best way to really know about a specific business is to look at true testimonials and on-line reviews. At Sound Chiropractic Center, we encourage our own patients to tell their story and let others know how chiropractic has helped them. You can make your own decision about who the "Top Doctors" are. When you do find that Doctor, make sure to tell others!

Seattle Chiropractor for asthma

How could chiropractors help with asthma? Well...again, the nervous system controls everything in the body. The lungs are made up of tiny little sacks called alveoli that are surrounded by vascular blood vessels controlled autonomically by smooth muscles. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for things that are done sub-consciously. This includes breathing, digestion, hormone levels, immunity etc.... The important thing to realize is that we don't have to "think" about these things, they are still regulated by nerves connected to the brain. At Sound Chiropractic Center, Dr. Jason Silliker works with the thoracic spine and ribs that are intimately connected to the autonomic nervous system. If you have asthma and live in Seattle, call Dr. Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center to schedule an appointment today.

Seattle Chiropractor for dogs

How can chiropractic help a dog? Well...dogs, cats, horses and all other animals have a body that is run by nerves just like people. The really cool thing is that they respond to chiropractic adjustments just like people. This is how we know that chiropractic works and is not just a "placebo" because animals can't be "fooled into believing". Most people have been taught to think that humans are somehow physically different than animals. Forgetting that animals have brains and nerves that control their eyes, ears, hearts, and movements too. At Sound Chiropractic of Seattle, Dr. Silliker discusses "Survival Value", which is how humans are physically similar to animals and how important health and vitality is to survival. To find out if Chiropractic can help increase your survival value, call to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jason Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center of Seattle.

Seattle Chiropractor for leg pain

Pain in the legs is always caused by irritated nerves. Pain in your tooth, shoulder, and anywhere else in your body is always caused by irritated nerves. You can't feel pain without an irritated nerve! The nerves that go down into the leg originate in the brain and exit the central nervous system from the lower back into the leg. Chiropractors remove nerve irritation by using spinal manipulation and working with the soft tissues of the leg with exercise and stretching. At Sound Chiropractic Center, Dr. Silliker and Dr. Early are trained in diagnosing spinal related leg pains and are able to safely treat and manage muskuloskeletal and spinal related leg pain. Feel free to call and schedule an appointment today at 206-440-7700. We look forward to helping you soon.

seattle chiropractor for joint pain

Chiropractors work with the joints of the spine to reduce pain and restore motion. Why? Movement of joints is very important for the health of joints. Cartilage cells don't have a blood supply and rely on movement in order to imbibe or "sponge" nutrients like water, oxygen, and sugars into the cells. Movement also lubricates the joint by moving synovial fluids. When a joint doesn't move over time, it can develop connective tissue adhesions that make the joint "gummy" and not move properly. This is called a "fixation" that not only restricts movement but can cause pain. Call for an appointment with Dr. Jason Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center. Dr. Silliker uses spinal manipulation to gently restore motion to these joints to reduce pain and disability. We look forward to helping you soon.

Seattle Chiropractor for facet pain

Chiropractic helps reduce facet generated pain using spinal manipulation. The mechanism of action does three things that help reduce pain and restore range of motion without using injections or surgery. First, spinal manipulation separates the facet joint resulting in a release of energy and creating joint cavitation usually associated with a popping noise. The second mechanism involves stretching of paraspinal muscle resulting in forced muscle relaxation. Finally, there is a decrease in pressure of the disk, which can press on nerves. To learn more about evidence-based chiropractic and how it helps reduce nerve pressure and back pain. Call for an appointment with Dr. Jason Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center of Seattle.
