When I was choosing a chiropractor, I went to several places because I wanted to find a right doctor and I wanted to go there for long term. However, some of the chiropractors I "visited' would ask for money (in the thousands of dollars) upfront. Another chiropractor just cracked my back and less than 10 minutes I was out the door. I couldn't even call it an adjustment because it was done with so little care.
Then one day, I was walking near my work and I found McCully Chiropractic Center (its in South King Street, although the name might be misleading). I called Dr. Watanabe to set up an appointed and I went there. I thought if he was just going to crack my back or ask for money I was going to walk out of there in a instant. However, Dr. Watanabe's fees were very reason with insurance (less than $20.00) and his work is comprehensive.
Whenever I go, I am greeted by Dr. Watanabe (one man operation). Then he does the following massages: Hand massage of my back for 5 to 10 minutes, Electric massage to loosen me up for about 15 minutes, another hand massage but this time using a heating pad for 5 minutes, a mechanical massage to tap my entire back for about 2 minutes. After all the massage, you are so loosen that when he does the adjustment, all of your body feels like he being taken apart and being rebuild with a sense of relief. It is an awesome feeling whenever I get it.
Then you think you are done, but he was puts you on a "leg machine" that move your lower body from left and right for about 10 minutes, which I have come to enjoy. I kind of feels like my fat is being moved around and I am doing some kind of exercise while I am lying down on your back.
I go to Dr. Watanabe every three to four weeks and I really enjoy my massages and the adjustments. I highly recommend him for your neck and back adjustment needs. read more
