Success Stories

“I first began seeing Dr. Chinn after a car accident for neck, shoulder and back pain.  The pain made it hard to sit or lie down and get comfortable.  I had to stop playing softball and exercising.  I have had mostly good experiences with chiropractic in the past, but Dr. Chinn has been one of the best!  My pain is now gone and my neck is more flexible.  I am back playing softball and exercising, and after discussing my desire for a healthy lifestyle with Dr. Chinn I have been taking vitamins and have gotten orthotics for my feet.  My energy level is higher and the orthotics have really helped my lower back stay in adjustment better.  The office staff is friendly and Dr. Chinn is very professional and cares about not only making you healthy while a patient but also your long term health goals!  I will continue to see Dr. Chinn on a regular basis to ensure that I stay healthier and continue to have a long, pain free life!”

“I first decided to go to Dr. Chinn for help with my sciatic nerve pain, sore shoulders, neck and ‘restless leg syndrome’.  I have had these problems off and on for about 15 years and it has been very painful, walking has been very hard for me.  With the RLS it is very hard to keep still.  I did get some success with my sciatic pain over the years, my last experience with chiropractic was ‘decompression’ and it did not work for me.  Since I started with Dr. Chinn and Interurban Chiropractic, I believe I have made good progress, the pain is usually gone until I work hard or walk a long way.  The RLS symptoms are so much better!  I have cut down my medication from 4 pills a day to only one!  Dr. Chinn has been very helpful, concerned and compassionate for the pain I’ve had.  He is very friendly, as are his staff people also”.               Sharon S.

“When I first came in to see Dr. Chinn I had symptoms of Bell’s Palsy and the left side of my face didn’t work. Not easy to eat or drink with only half my lips working.  (I) could not blink with (my) left eye normally – had to use eye drops and tape (my) eye shut at night.My previous experience with chiropractic was that it has been useful for neck and back problems and was essential in helping heal a herniated disc in the past.  In just one week (one adjustment) the left side of my face is about 70-80% functional again.  Blinking normally again and more control of (my) lips.  This is a much faster recovery rate than my doctor predicted.”       Peter M.

"I can now hear out of my left ear after years and seeing over 7 hearing specialists and surgeons.  My vocation is piano repair and tuning, and my ears are kind of important to my job".       Ed H. - Olympia

"I have had 'low-grade' headaches for 34 years that have not completely gone away with regular chiropractic adjustments.  They are now gone!".  Brian W. - Kent

"I spent over 6 weeks training my eyes to focus - after getting my head adjusted, I am back to normal!".  Name withheld by request

 Growing up, as a teenager, I received beneficial results from a chiropractic doctor that relieved me from scoliosis, headaches, and numbness in one of my hands coupled with numbness in one of my legs. Twenty years have passed, and as a result of that earlier experience, I sought chiropractic care again, after suffering from the return of daily headaches together with numbness in my other hand. Fortunately, I had recovered from the curved spine— it was not a problem this time.

My diagnosis revealed that my neck was degenerating at a faster rate of speed than my years— in other words, my neck was quite a bit older than the rest of my body! This news did not surprise me, so I made the commitment to undertake regular chiropractic visits. After only a couple weeks, my symptoms had disappeared; however, I knew that if I did not continue, Dr. Chinn could not reverse the accelerated aging process that my neck had endured.

I had been feeling great; however, I felt as though I was continuing those regular visits on pure faith alone. It had become difficult to see the benefit of those routine visits until I took a long trip out of town. Normally, I would suffer from an aching neck and back after driving a car for more than an hour or two— it would take days to recover from the soreness. This last trip was different. I drove for three hours straight and after reaching my destination, I felt terrific— that was not “ Normal”. A couple days later, I returned home with absolutely no pain at all— It was incredible! I had finally experienced something tangible, as a result of taking proper care of my back.

Currently, I see Dr. Chinn twice a week now and eventually, I know, the frequency of my visits will diminish. But, I do not think that I will entirely eliminate an occasional adjustment or two— just to keep my new younger feeling neck and back healthy. I have truly become a firm believer in taking care of oneself from the inside out!
