Week One; On the verge of something great...

Hello Seattle!

My name is Kira Inglis and I am the new receptionist at Northgate Chiropractic. This is my first week and WOW, what a whirlwind of information it has been. And not the kind that goes in one ear and out the other.

I am discovering new things about body functions, symptoms of potentially life-threatening diseases, as well as proper ways to take care of myself and well-being. And not through articles and heresay: it’s through a legitimate Doc. It’s actually very relieving to talk on- on-one with an actual professional and see what I can do to help myself.

I am not going to lie- I had no idea what chiropractic could do for me or for anyone. You drive by so many businesses and see all sorts of practices and signs for local chiropractors but who actually knows what they do?

You will never know until you go. Period.

The shocking thing is that chiropractic help can start as early 3 months old! But on average, people don’t realize the benefits until it’s too late. Ugh. (I’m 24 and already cracking my back!).

But I’m not a preacher (not ever will be!) and I know some things are better learned through experience. So I encourage you to look into it.

QUICK FACTS:
Big Reasons to see a Chiropractor:

Car accidents
Sports injuries
Any back pain!
Banana peel you slipped on
Bad mattress/pillow arrangement
Headaches
Numbness/Pins & Needles!
Any form of insurance that already covers it =) (might as well get your back checked right?)

And as the first week of my new job ends I would have to say that I have learned a lot more than any of my college courses have taught me in 7 days. Haha. Or maybe because I actually understand and see the worth in what I am learning about (relieving pain VS rocks for jocks…..)

Well that’s all for today. I hope everybody had a great Wednesday!

"Our Patients Speak"

I had totally unexpected back pain on a Monday morning after an intense workout one weekend that had me stuck in bed and unable to go to work. After two quick visits with Dr. Steve I was back at work and by the end of the week I was totally functional again. What I so appreciated was Dr. Steve’s empathy and genuine concern for my quick recovery, so much so that he extended hours once to ensure I was taken care of and didn't have to miss more work.

Thank thank thank you to Dr. Steve

So I went and saw Dr. Stephen Lachuta after I had a accident with a Elk. Not only did he make me feel better with my back, he helped with my migraines and made the 6'4" a little taller.

He is one of the most amazing Chiropractors in Seattle.

“Our Patients” Speak

After having two babies 15 months apart, I started having severe back pain. Lugging them both around, along with the diaper bag and infant carrier finally took a good toll on my back. I was in constant pain and I was having a hard time getting down to play with my boys. At one point, I even got stuck on the floor. My back was so torqued that I couldn't get up!

I made an appointment with Dr. Steve. At this point, the pain was nauseating and was really distracting me from work, sleep, all that necessary stuff! My mobility was minimal and even driving was difficult because of the stiffness.

I noticed a difference after my first visit. He made an adjustment and I could literally feel the pain release from my spine. After a just a few visits, I was feeling good again.

I highly recommend this guy! He knows what he's doing, your pain and issues are important to him and he's just a nice guy. Thanks, Dr. Steve!

Best Holiday Card of 2011!!!!

Dear Dr. Steve,

Without you I would not be able to do my job and would be in pain all the time.

All the best,

Phase 1 of the remodel COMPLETE

As many of you know, we recently got new carpet in the office in an effort to modernize and improve the overall experience at Northgate Chiropractic. Soon we will be completing phase 2 which is a complete repainting of the office which hope to do shortly after xmas. Phase 3 - once the office has been repainted then we will be bringing some fantastic paintings by an amazing local artist. At which time we will be holding an open house / artist reception.

So look forward to some AWESOME new changes at Northgate Chiropractic.
Happy holidays!!!
~Dr. Steve Lachuta

I am generally terrified of Chiropractors. I usually opt for Massage therapy or acupuncture. My past experience with a very aggressive chiropractor in Bellevue made me scared of them all, until I went to Dr. Steve.

His gentle and methodical approach to getting my back and neck into shape has really made a difference in my daily life. I am not fearful that he will be too aggressive with my treatment, and cause any new problems.

I was in a recent accident breaking my jaw in two places, and also had an old back injury that was never quite treated causing my back to become quite stiff and painful at times.

After 2 weeks of treatments, I've already noticed an increase in flexibility and ease of movement. In the morning my back is not as stiff as it once was. I will continue to see him, until I'm back in shape with my back and neck.

His modest office is conveniently located in Northgate with free parking just a few steps from his door.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Steve to anyone needing chiropractic work.
