TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
Dr. Brown’s practice philosophy is summarized in three words: Treat, Fix, Release. He finds that most patients thrive under these parameters and long term care is generally not necessary. He is a preferred provider with most of the insurance companies in Washington State. If x-rays are needed, they are taken at the Imaging Center in Issaquah so they are read by a board certified Radiologist, in addition to Dr. Brown. This way, nothing is ever missed.
PERSONAL
He has been married to his childhood sweetheart for 36 years and has four daughters. Three are graduates from the University of Washington (Go Huskies) and one is a senior, majoring in Psychology, at Eastern Washington University.
When not practicing, Dr. Brown enjoys spending time with his family and taking trips in his roadster and being outdoors. Card carrying car-devotee (no kidding) and back-yard mechanic, Dr. Brown is also a computer enthusiast. He builds his own computers from component parts and likes to learn about new software and hardware applications.

WHY CHIROPRACTIC?
There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach neck and back pain.
When evaluating and treating patients, chiropractors take a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the cause of the patient’s pain. Often this is due to spinal mal-alignments and spinal joint malfunction. Chiropractors offer gentle manipulation to correct the actual cause of neck and back pain. No drugs or surgery are ever offered at a chiropractic office.
