Tired of Your Chiropractor Twisting you into a Pretzel? Gentle Redmond Chiro Offers Solution

“I’d been in chiropractic care for four years before coming to this office. My insurance changed so I came here upon a coworker referral.”



“I’ve liked (my experience) here. Very convenient and I appreciate the ‘no cracking’ approach. (My goal of) keeping the neck in line has been beneficial, and the convenience of being so close to my work helps tremendously with my schedule and stress level.” –Steve S.


“(Before coming to The Balanced Spine) I was in constant pain. I had received prior chiropractic treatment in traditional form. I experienced only temporary, partial relief.”

“(The staff at TBS) is pleasant and prompt. Everything has been excellent. (Since starting care) I have come closer to my goals. It will take time to see if the relief and expanded abilities continue and can be maintained.” –Deborah W.

Neck Pain Reduced to Nothing and Stress Subdued at Redmond Chiropractor

“I’ve experienced neck and shoulder pain for several years prior to The Balanced Spine. I had thought that a lot of it was stress and tension related, but given the improvement I’ve seen since coming to TBS, I now think there were a lot of factors contributing to my issues.”


“The staff has been extremely helpful and have helped encourage me and to better understand issues that affect health. They have been attentive and detail-oriented throughout my visits. I’ve (also) been able to reduce a lot of the pain I’ve experienced and better understand the root causes for wellness.” –Sam S.



“Before coming to The Balanced Spine, I was suffering from pain in my mid-back, neck area and knees. After joining TBS my body has not experienced pain. I also feel relaxed and happy. All of the doctors and staff are friendly and helpful. The doctors take good care of their patients. They listen to the patients and give good advice.”


“(Before TBS) one of my main concerns was to get rid of the pain in my body. TBS has helped me to accomplish that. Also, the stress level has reduced to a great extent.” –Mamta D.

Fatigue Defeated at Issaquah Chiropractor

“(I had a) history of lower-back pain up until about five years ago. Then a period of pretty good back condition. Then a recent strain in upper-mid-back. (The care at The Balanced Spine) is different than any other chiro I have been to. While I never had a problem with traditional adjustments, the rigorous exam and gentle adjustment gives me greater confidence regarding the sustainability of my back over the long term. (TBS) relieved pain and discomfort; permitting me to continue an active exercise regime.” –Tony B.




“I am a man in his 40’s who does most of the work in front of computer monitors or in conference rooms. A hiking incident had caused numbness in my lower abdomen and a noticeable kink in posture. I also came with a history of fatigue which other treatments haven’t been able to treat.”


“I was made aware of how and why skeletal balance is of high importance. Through X-rays I was informed of imbalance areas, and how that could be alleviated. With a dozen or so trips, my spine was often adjusted with mild pressure. The doctor suggested supplements (fish oil). I (now) feel that my posture has improved for the better. With some of the stretching exercises I’ve been able to loosen some muscles. To my dismay, the fatigue issue remains the same.” –Mukunda M.

Neck Pain Gone, Headaches Diffused Thanks to Issaquah Chiropractor


“(Before visiting The Balanced Spine) I woke up every day with a headache and neck pain. I felt like I hadn’t slept and I spent the day trying to ease the pain; neck massage, heating pads, Tylenol. These worked sometimes, but the pain was persistent.”

“From the first visit (adjustment) the morning pain subsided. Even though I don’t hold alignment as long as I’d like, I still don’t have the pain. I wake up feeling good. (Going forward) I don’t and didn’t have any real goals other than to wake up pain free. The adjustments from The Balanced Spine help me to do that.” –Heather J.



“Since an accident 15 years ago I have had neck and upper-back issues, and I relied on all sorts of medical care to try to relieve the pain. More recently my neck issues had resulted in weekly migraines.”


“(Since starting care) my experience has been great – everyone is very friendly and helpful. Everything has been explained to me in great detail and I feel I have a great understanding of my issues and ‘get well’ plan. My neck and shoulders are much less painful. My head and neck are more stable, and my migraines are definitely happening less often – still a way to go to be migraine-free, but a definite improvement.” –Zena H.

Issaquah Chiropractor and Posture Specialist Relieves Neck and Shoulder Pain

“I had chronic neck and shoulder pain daily. By the end of a workday, my shoulders were extremely tense and aching. It made me feel tired and I’d go home and just crash – no interest in doing much of anything. My experience at TBS has been extremely pleasant and surprisingly flexible (appt. times). There was once incident when I arrived at my appt. 30 minutes late. There was no negative response, whatsoever – everyone is professional and easy to work with. (Since starting care) I feel much more relaxed and comfortable at the end of a workday. Neck and shoulder pain still happens, but the pain is totally different – minimal, and stretches help. Before, stretching and massages would not help.” –Yukiko S.


“(Before The Balanced Spine) I was beginning to realize my posture was continually hunched over. I didn’t realize all the problems this could cause. (Since starting care) I was surprised by the technique being so minor to make such a big adjustment. The office is pleasant and the doctors are very approachable. I appreciate that. (Now) the main difference I notice is that my feet don’t hurt when I walk without shoes. I am more aware of my posture and the need to maintain my spine. Education is a great help – that’s why I would like more on the website.” –Anonymous in Issaquah

Weekly observations from patients of Issaquah, Redmond chiropractor

“Prior to coming to The Balanced Spine I had acute pain; suspicion of underlying chronic condition. (I was) constantly feeling the need to “crack” my neck. Recent development of Achilles tendonitis. (Since coming to The Balanced Spine) I feel good. I feel I can express my opinions about my body and the care of it, and that feedback is listened to and not dismissed. TBS has been helpful in assisting me to understand what is going on with my body and helping me piece together an overall strategy for healing.” –Jill S.



“(Before TBS) I had always thought that chiropractic is only for people with broken bones/back, etc., and not for overall wellbeing. TBS was great. It got me so much educated. It is very gentle too. Before coming to TBS I didn’t even know what my spine really was. I thought it was one long rod! ;-) Dr. Schallmann and Dr. Fryer have been really great! Very professional, patient, clear in communication, and thorough. They taught me a few simple exercises/stretching. Now my upper back (neck/shoulder) area feels relaxed. Got me into thinking for overall wellbeing.” –Srinivas G.


“(My story was that I had) chronic pain in head, neck, hips, lower spine. It inhibited my walking, driving and sitting. (Since coming to TBS) my neck is improved, better range of motion, pain and numbness in left arm and shoulder much improved; less pain walking, but sitting and lying down still a bit of a problem. I have reduced my meds and have learned new ways of moving.” –Sharon H.
