As your partner in health, Seattle Chiropractor, Dr. Brown-Ruegg focuses on the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms to help protect the investment of time and money in your health and empower you to make healthy choices.

Looking for pain relief?  We treat your pain or discomfort quickly and honestly, without drugs or surgery.

Looking to live well and move better? Experience tells us that part of a healthy lifestyle is regular adjustments.  Patients who see us periodically have improved immune systems, fewer aches and pains and tend to recover more quickly from injuries.

We’ve helped people of all ages, from newborns to a centurion, live healthier, happier and more active lives.  In fact nearly 90% of our patients are referred to us by satisfied long-term patients, a fact we are honored by and proud of.

Pain the Warning, Not the Problem

Do you know what pain is and what pain relief means?  Pain is a signal.  It means that something has gone wrong for long enough to cause a problem.  And for many of our patients, a vertebra was out of position long enough to cause a pretty serious misalignment, putting pressure on some important nerves that eventually caused pain.  When treatment starts, many patients get some pain relief fairly quickly.  That is good news BUT it does not mean that we have corrected the cause of the problem.  Correcting the cause of the problem takes work.  Work consists of spinal correction and strengthening – which takes time, energy and repetition.  If we focus on correcting the problem and just not the pain, there is a better chance of never having these symptoms come back.

State of the Art Diagnostics

At Hillclimb Chiropractic Clinic we perform muscle tension testing, a state of the art early detection and diagnostic tool designed to clearly demonstrate where your spinal nerves may be suffering from nerve interference since nerve interference is a direct result of subluxations.

Dr. Brown-Ruegg is guided by four chiropractic principles.

  1. Everyone has a health potential. You were born to be healthy; that is the way you were made.
  2. All the functions of your body, including your health, are run by your nervous system.
  3. Pressure on the nervous system lowers your health potential. In essence, nerve pressure shuts off life to the tissue cells.
  4. Take the pressure away from the nerve and watch the body heal itself. By letting life back into the nerve and tissue, life or nerve energy affects the healing.
