Chiropractic Care in Seattle
Movement Is Life
Welcome to Village Medicine
Healing, Relaxation, and Balance
Chiropractic care addresses structural imbalances in the body that develop from injury, repetitive use, and sustained postural stress through natural, hands-on care.
Physical symptoms such as joint and muscle pain, stiffness, numbness, or tingling often involve abnormal joint motion and structural misalignment. Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating the neuromusculoskeletal system to identify these imbalances and restore proper biomechanics – helping you feel better, move better, and function at your best.
At Village Medicine, chiropractic care is approached thoughtfully and individually, supporting not only pain relief, but long-term movement health and resilience.
If you’re looking for holistic chiropractic care in Seattle, Village Medicine has you covered. Our chiropractic professionals use a variety of modalities and techniques to help support your health and wellbeing.

Why Try Chiropractic Care In Seattle?
Safe and Natural
Chiropractic care is a safe, natural approach to relieving pain and restoring balance in the body. Improving joint motion, alignment, and muscle function can help your body heal and reduce the need for medications or surgery.
Get to the Root Cause
Rather than masking symptoms, chiropractic care focuses on identifying and treating underlying biomechanical imbalances to help prevent and resolve physical conditions at their source.
Movement Is Life
Our bodies tighten when we overdo it and stiffen when we don’t move enough. Chiropractic care supports healthy mobility and alignment so you can keep moving forward and continue doing what you love.
What to Expect
The Chiropractic Care Process
Your Examination
Because every body is unique, your first visit (or any visit following a new concern) includes a thorough physical and orthopedic examination. This helps us understand what’s happening and determine the most appropriate, customized treatment options. Our clinic does not take or require X-rays for treatment.
Your Treatment
Treatment focuses on improving alignment and joint motion through chiropractic manipulation (adjustment) of the spine and extremities. A range of techniques is offered from gentle, low-force approaches to hands-on manual adjustments, based on your comfort level and individual needs.
Care may also include soft tissue work targeting muscles, ligaments, and fascia through stretching, cupping, and therapeutic exercise instruction. Every visit is tailored specifically to you.
Your Wellness Journey
You only have one body, and we believe in caring for it well. Chiropractic care at Village Medicine supports your overall wellness by helping you move more efficiently, recover more fully, and maintain alignment over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of chiropractic manipulation does Dr. Aklinski provide?
-
Dr. Aklinski offers a variety of chiropractic techniques, including Diversified (manual) adjusting, Drop Table Technique, Instrument-Assisted Low-Force Technique, SOT (pelvic blocking), extremity manipulation, and prenatal chiropractic care.
- How many treatments will I need?
-
Most conditions benefit from an initial course of 6–12 visits. New patients are typically seen weekly for the first month, with care gradually reduced as improvement occurs. Your care plan is always adjusted based on your progress and goals.
- If I’m not in pain, should I still come in?
-

Depending on your activity level and lifestyle, visits may be helpful monthly or even quarterly to support alignment and overall function.
