Call Now βWe understand your pain
You've been living around it.
It's time to stop.
Pain isn't just physical. It affects your sleep, your mood, your work, your relationships. After 27 years and over 11,000 patients in Kent, I've seen what happens when pain goes unaddressed β and I've seen the transformation when it's finally treated right.
You can't sleep through the night
You wake up stiff, sore, and dreading the day ahead. This isn't just "getting older" β it's a fixable problem.
Work has become miserable
By noon your back or neck aches so much you can't focus. You've adjusted your chair a dozen times. Nothing helps.
You're missing out on your life
Hiking, playing with your kids, weekend plans β pain is the reason you keep saying "not today."
You're relying on pills just to get through
Ibuprofen has become a daily habit, not a solution. You know this isn't sustainable.
The truth most patients learn too late
Feeling better is not the same as being healed.
The most common mistake we see: a patient starts feeling better after a few visits β and stops coming. A few months later, the pain comes back worse than before. The underlying problem was never fully corrected, just quieted temporarily. Don't let that be your story.
"I started treatment because of ongoing neck and arm pain. After a few weeks I felt much better and made the mistake of thinking I was completely healed. A few months later the pain came back β worse than before. That's when I realized feeling better wasn't the same as being fully healed. I returned to Palmer Chiropractic, completed my treatment plan, and the difference was incredible. I wish I had finished my care the first time."

Patient stories
Real results from real patients in Kent.
These aren't cherry-picked testimonials. They're the three most common situations we treat β and the outcomes our patients actually experience.
Roy β Construction Worker
"After hurting my lower back on the job, I was in constant pain and told surgery was probably my best option. Dr. Brian took the time to explain what was going on, put together a treatment plan, and helped me get back to work without surgery. My pain improved, my movement returned, and I was able to do the things I thought I'd never do again."
Adrena β Car Accident Patient
"After my car accident I struggled with neck pain and headaches for months. Dr. Brian and his staff made the entire process easy from the beginning. They worked directly with my auto insurance β my PIP coverage handled all of my treatment costs, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders. Today I have fully recovered."
Diane G. β Workplace Fall
"I came to Dr. Brian after a fall at work. He reviewed my accident report, felt I hadn't received sufficient medical coverage, and wrote a letter to the Department of Labor and Industries stating the neglect I had received. A couple weeks later, my claim was reopened. Dr. Brian is an amazing chiropractor and person. He cares about his patients and listens with a smile."
Cost & coverage
For most patients, the cost is $0 out of pocket.

"I didn't get into chiropractic to hand out appointments. I got into it because I watched people suffer through pain they didn't have to. My job is to listen β really listen β find the root cause, and build a treatment plan around you. Not a cookie-cutter protocol. A plan that actually works for your situation."

Posted on Diane GriffittsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Dr. Brian with my lower back, left side from my shoulder to my foot hurting. This happened, at work, from a fall off a 4 foot ladder onto cement. The only thing that was done for me was an MRI to make sure I didnβt have a brain bleed. There were days I could hardly walk. Dr. Brian took an x-ray of my lower back and asked if I fell which I said yes. I then told him of my ordeal. He wanted to look at my accident report and felt I had not had sufficient medical coverage. The claim was only open about two months. Dr. Brian then wrote a letter to the Department of Labor and Industry stating the neglect I had received and wanted the claim reopened. A couple of weeks later the claim was reopened. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. BRIAN, YOU DID IT! Dr. Brian is an amazing chiropractor and person. He cares about his patients and listens to what they have to say with a smile. I totally believe in chiropractic care and will be a βliferβ with Dr. Brian. Along with his excellent care he has an amazing staff and you always feel welcome the minute you walk into the officePosted on Danielle BoylesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to Dr. Brian for years with my husband and kids. He has always been helpful in giving me excuses to do at home to help my pain and made us all feel like family. I have even done the massages after being adjusted and it has really helped.Posted on Everett BoylesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Dr. Brian over 20 years ago when my back went out. I am a construction worker so repeated adjustments and occasional massages over the years are a must . What I truly like about Brian is he doesnβt push any medication or unneeded treatment off on me. I would and have recommended his practice to anyone in needPosted on Jessie HaynesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Brian truly loves his patients! As a patient for many years, I trust my chiropractic needs to him and his staff. I always feel better and more lively after my treatments. I recommend all my family and friends here.Posted on Lacey JayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Dr.Brian! Not a lot of folks go to a chiropractor for mental health but a depression episode had me really locked in in the shoulder area, the first adjustment I felt blood flow to my hands. Coming consistently for a month my depression is getting better and I think a lot has to do with better alignment and flexibility of my spine.Posted on Marisol TorresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been going here regularly for the past 4 years and I couldn't recommend another place greater than here. The Dr and his staff are the best, even bilingual which is a huge plus for me and my husband. Highly recommend considering, if your looking for the best adjustmentsPosted on Brad GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to get referred to Dr Brian when my last Dr retired and come to find out he was his personal Chiropractor . I must pass hundreds of Chiropractors to get to his office and this is the place to go especially if you don't want to fell worse after getting adjusted .
