Tier One Chiropractic

Chiropractic is anatomy and physiology. It is structure and function. If you are experiencing pain, spasm, stiffness, decreased range of motion, headache, numbness, swelling, tingling, tenderness, or any combination of these symptoms, then you most likely have a chiropractic problem and would benefit from chiropractic care.

Chiropractic focuses on neuro-musculoskeletal pain, conditions involving muscles, nerves and joints. This pain could involve the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, or any of the body’s more than 200 joints. Treatment addresses the functional problems that joints suffer through injury, as well as repetitive stress from work, play, or just life.

People of all ages experience nerve pain. Simply put, if you feel pain, the nerve is involved. It could be pinched or irritated by the muscle, the joint tissues, or even spinal discs. Chiropractic is the treatment of choice for nerve pain. By removing the functional joint and muscle irritation, the chiropractic doctor removes the nerve irritation. When you get adjusted, you are getting a systematic nerve tune-up that treats your entire central nervous system, which controls your entire body.

Not only does chiropractic care help you feel better now, without the harmful effects of drugs, but it helps your whole body regain balance and fight the effects of long-term degeneration.

Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient’s unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient’s range of motion, while also aiding in a patient’s recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!

Ever since Dr. Brad Ulrich was first asked, he knew he wanted to be a doctor. Primarily because he grew up with some health issues that he didn’t want other kids to suffer from. An injury in Dr. Ulrich’s senior year of undergraduate school had him on track for surgery that threatened his final year on the baseball team. A fellow teammate recommended a Chiropractor in town that helped some of the other players. The Chiropractor negated the need for surgery, fixing Dr. Ulrich’s knee, and took it a step further resolving his lifelong asthmatic condition. A chiropractic career was born.

Chiropractic care became an integral part of Dr. Ulrich’s health care whether it was for injury or maintenance reasons. After graduating from college in 1999, Dr. Ulrich moved to Seattle and has been practicing ever since. Dr. Ulrich dedicates himself to helping individuals, families including children, professional athletes from all of Seattle’s professional sports teams and the difficult cases where patients were told there was no cure.

Dr. Ulrich brings impeccable qualifications to his Chiropractic Office. Because of his sports background Dr. Ulrich emphasizes taking a patient out of pain by using gentle and palliative care, followed by core strength training, exercise and rehabilitation to return the patient to normal function.
