Roosevelt Chiropractic

I was in a car accident in May and Roosevelt Chiropractic gave me the compassion and care I needed for a speedy recovery. Thanks to the Docs and the massage therapists I was able to decrease my stress and pain after the accident.

Roosevelt Chiropractic performed a classic «bait and switch». I called them and gave them my insurance information. They told me that they accepted my insurance. I scheduled an appointment. After my appointment, I went to the lobby to check out, where they told me that the therapist I just visited does not accept my insurance and that I had to pay out of pocket.
I am extremely dissatisfied with Roosevelt Chiropractic. Do not recommend.

I have been getting care from Dr. J since 1995, when he saved me from the excruciating pain of a herniated disk – and helped me heal it without surgery. Since then, I have had various back and neck problems fixed and I am always happy with the care. Dr. J is a wonderful person and he has a compassionate and holistic approach to his work. Unlike chiropractors I had seen in the past, he doesn’t do the oft-​remarked-​upon chiro routine of having you come in over and over again, beyond what may really be needed. If he says I need two or three treatments, I know that is the case. I feel extremely fortunate to have found Dr. J so many years ago.

I continue to be impressed by the superb quality of care at Roosevelt Chiropractic. Dr. J is a extremely kind and compassionate man. Unlike so many doctors, you never feel rushed and he is an excellent listener. Like Dr. Tibbits, he is very through in explaining the adjustment and you always leave feeling better.

I have been going to these guys off and on for over 10 years. I have been adjusted by Dr. Hobbs, Dr. Jyringi & Dr. Tibbitts. All have their own style and are very knowledgeable. This is nice because if you didnt like one style, you have options to see a different Dr w/​o finding a whole new office to go to. I have also had a massage from each of the 3 ladies also. Very professional and on time. Great hours and flexible scheduling. The ladies working the desk area are all smart, professional, nice and keep this office running smoothly. If I ever have a problem with scheduling or billing, they take care of it right away, not 2 – 3 weeks later. Go see this Team of Professionals! You wont be sorry you did.

I have been seeing Dr. Tibbitts for awhile now and he is great! My back always feels better right after treatment and my low back issues have almost completely disappeared since I have been getting his adjustments. They also offer inexpensive massages and both Amanda and Katie are great. I highly recommend Roosevelt Chiropractic!

Great deal for first time customers on a massage. They offer a 1 hour massage for only $ 24.99! No this isn’t some fancy smancy spa with robes and aromatics ect. Yes the massage and ambiance is about on par with what you pay so don’t go expecting to be treated like a queen for the day. But hey, that price can’t be beat!

I have been going to Roosevelt Chiropractic for 3 years now?! I can’t believe I haven’t written a review until now. I am a part of the spa club and go in once a month for an hour massage with Georgia. I have always had a hard time finding a therapist who rides the perfect balance of pressure, not too soft, but not painful & I have finally found my gal! Georgia always asks what I would like to focus on and is very attentive. She is great and I wouldn’t go anywhere else, I highly recommend her!

Roosevelt Chiropractic is the best! I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Dr. Doubt was great. She did a wonderful job on my back. If you’ve never been to a chiropractor before, I think Dr. Doubt would be perfect for you. She eased my nerves and was gentle yet effective. And I really appreciate how she explained everything, so I could have a full understanding of what was going on with my body. So great, I will be going back again this Friday! Thanks Roosevelt Chiropractic!

I was referred here by a friend. Staff is friendly and accomodating. Dr. J is great. I always feel great after my sessions. They also have a good deal on massage membership. Thank you!

I started going here when my chiropractor went out of town on vacation for a month and I was left in pain with no help. I tried to just deal with the pain and constant migraines, but as you can guess that didn’t end so well. I finally decided I’d try to find a good chiropractor in the area, and Unilocal led me here. For my first visit I was supposed to see Dr. Jyringi, but instead ended up seeing Dr. Doubt. She was very sweet and did a thorough examination, but her adjustment wasn’t so great for me. I’ve always had fast adjustments done by strong men chiropractors, and while I have nothing against women chiropractors, Dr. Doubt had slow adjustments that were a bit uncomfortable and not as deep (or should I say far?) as I’m used to. I actually ended up in more pain after my adjustment. I was disappointed, but the amazing reviews I’d read led me back to Roosevelt Chiropractic again to see how Dr. Jyringi’s adjustments were. He was very kind and talkative, he also did a thorough examination like Dr. Doubt to see what to adjust. In addition, he took the time to ask what areas had been bothering me, which my current chiropractor had stopped doing. His adjustment was absolutely amazing! I felt WAY better and realized majority of my pain was gone after one adjustment. However, after a couple days I noticed the pain had come back again completely. I love Dr. Jyringi’s adjustments, but for some reason they just don’t seem to stick for me. Maybe I just need to try seeing him more often to see if that helps. I really want to love this place as they have pleasant staff, water for you to drink, a rolling table (I hadn’t been on one since my first chiropractor so I was extremely happy to find they had one), and are nearby. My only complaint is that the treatments don’t stick, but I really want them to! I’m hoping I can figure out why they aren’t sticking and this can become my new regular place to go. However, for now I will continue going to my other chiropractor since his adjustments last a long time. While this has been my experience, everyone’s body is completely different. You should definitely try this place out if you’re looking for a chiropractor and need some immediate pain relief (they have same day appointments!) since you may not have the problem I’m having. Also, while Dr. Doubt wasn’t the right chiropractor for me, she may be the right person for you; so don’t rule her out just because I had a bad experience. Some people prefer slower adjusting while others prefer faster adjustments. You have to try something before you can decide you don’t like it!

Let me start out with this: I work at a local fast food place… Don’t get me wrong, the job is good, but it takes a lot out on the body sometimes… I haven’t injured myself until now (2.5 years in…) so I must’ve been doing something right until now…
Until last week. I hurt my back so badly, if I hiccuped, it sent shooting pain all over my back and right side. Laughing a little too hard? Pain. Turn slightly? PAIN.
You get my point.
I came in with my boyfriend and I decided to do something about my pain. I scheduled an appointment for an adjustment and immediately I felt the pain relief. I scheduled an appointment for a massage for the day after, and so far, dramatically less pain. Another adjustment the day after that? It has improved. This was even between shifts at work where I now (temporarily) robotically shuffle around.
Now, my back feels so much better… you don’t know how bad it can be until you go and hurt your body. I’m still in the process of treatment, but out of the few sessions I’ve had plus a massage, there are no complaints from me! What I also like that I didn’t like with my other chiropractors is that the whole process is very straightforward and I have not felt like I was told too little or too much… perfect amount of explanations!
ALSO: There are two massage therapists (that I know of…) in the same office space with the chiropractors. I have seen both of them and they have helped me along with adjustments.
but I really want to emphasize that all the sessions that I’ve had so far have been so helpful in working out the pain that I’ve been experiencing… I’ve never gone in and thought afterwards, «Well that was a waste of time.» Because it has always been productive and rewarding.

Yes, this place is 5 stars! My doctor, doctor Doubt is really taking care of me with good knowledge, warm heart and friendly advice. Everyhing here is just friendly and professional. I went to several different chiropractic centers due to my low back problem.
They all did some strange x-​ray and said I had a turtle-​neck which is dangerous and causes the low back pain. It was a little doubtful in my opinion because follow-​up adjustments did not help my low back pain.
Dr. Doubt didn’t use or recommend x-​ray but she did very through examination with her hands. And she found that my tilted pelvis caused the back pain. And it was RIGHT! Because after just a few adjustments, I felt much better and the back pain didn’t hurt me much since then. But I sometimes want to go back for regular treatment after long and stressful day of work.
They also didn’t ever pressure me for more money-​spending bargain. My doctor always gave me the right numbers of adjustments and I always trused her.
Finally, my massage therapist Georgia is wonderful too. She has a great therapeutic technic as well as warm and hospital attitude. I always enjoy meeting her so I became a spa club member. Sometimes she is a little too hard on the spots but it’s much better than too weak because I can always tell her that ‘it’s too much’ not ‘it’s too weak.‘
I love this place!

Let me be upfront here so you know these are five legit stars: I generally don’t like chiropractors. They immediately push too hard to get you to understand (before they ever treat you) that Chiropractic work, why, and how. So it was with an air of skepticism that I entered the offices of Roosevelt Chiropractic, where, in minutes, i was whisked into a treatment room and to my shock – i was not sold packages of visits, given the entire litany of what a «subluxation» is, and why it leads to the many, many visits I would need.
Instead, I met with Dr. Mark Jyringi, who greeted me with a genuinely infectious smile, shook my hand and warmly met my suspicious gaze with – «we’re gonna fix you up – i can tell you’re hurting». I could barely shake his hand i was in so much back pain, and in addition, on so much painkiller i could barely hold my head up.
And rather than being sold a monthly visits package or putting the needs of his practice before my own, he set to work on me, freeing up movement I hadn’t had in my neck, shoulder, arm and mid-​back. In 20 minutes I was back in my car, and i could turn my head. Wow.
Was it my meds or was this a miracle? When the Vicodin wore off i knew i didn’t need it anymore. I could actually move without pain. Two weeks later, i am typing this after a few visits more
The staff are all buoyant, friendly, welcoming – they remembered my name in two visits – and if there is any wait they put you on a luxurious massage bed that is worth the price of the trip without the treatment.
I’ve been to chiropractors on both coasts – a dozen in my lifetime – and Dr. J is the real deal. This is a business that is successful because they provide treatment that actually works – without the hard sell. Roosevelt Chiropractic has been there for 20 years and might still be the best kept secret in the Seattle Chiropractic community.
Five worthy stars!

There aren’t enough reviews about the wonderful massage services offered at Roosevelt Chiropractic.
I began seeing Massage Therapist Georgia as an adjunct to my chiropractic treatment. The chiropractic need is gone, but realizing the dramatic impact on my mood (I’m far calmer than I used to be and more receptive to my clients) I began receiving massage once a week.
Georgia provides the right touch whether it’s deep tissue or lighter relaxation massage. She is very perceptive when finding points of stress –providing the right amount of pressure without being painful. She is also good at focusing on areas of concern while still addressing the body as a whole.
The «Spa‘ah» club is offered at Roosevelt Chiropractic, where for different monthly fees the client can receive a set number of massages a month and in the process save a great deal of money. It makes massage therapy far more accessible to people.
As of this writing there is still an introductory $ 19.95 for an hour massage offer going on. Check it out!

I will start of by saying that Dr. J and Dr. Hobbs oare EXCELLENT at what they do. I am originally from Los Angeles, California and came to Seattle almost 4 ½ years ago. With in that entire time frame I have seen TONS (approx. 50+) of Chiropractors, some pretty good, some… less than «effective» to say the least. Since that time I feel that Roosevelt Chiropractic has far exceeded my expectations with treatment, staff, Massage Services (offered by Susan Werkema), and the over all personality of the Chiropractors; this really made me feel comfortable and right at home. I also liked that I did not try and get «shafted» like many other practitioners that I have attended. This place is honest, sincere, professional, and at the top of my list.
Also, to all my fellow tattoo artist, this is the crew that is going to say your back.
Thank you all for being such an awesome staff.

Your chiropractor should be your best friend, and Dr. Hobbs will make you feel right at home the minute you walk in.
There aren’t any frills or gimmicks (like X-​rays or charts). You’ll get a hands on approach and a lot of questions, balance/​walking tests and a «get right in there» approach. Anyone who knows their salt about doctors will appreciate this.
Dr. Hobbs adjustment techniques are unique as well. He doesn’t use many tools. Just a lot of positioning and precision. After seeing at least half a dozen chiropractors over the last couple of years, the man clearly has a sense of knowing what we does, getting the job done and making sure you’re all good.
The best part about this place: they have a robotic chiropractic bed that you get to lay on before/​after your visit. And it feels heavenly!

You can never get enough 5-​star ratings. Positive reinforcement can only do good.
I have a terrible back, I need regular adjustments or very bad things happen at very inconvenient moments. Dr. Jyringi starts each visit with 15 minutes of traction, which I like sometimes, but if I’m in pain I end up breathing through. His adjustment technique is very thoughtful and personalized. He’s great at finding my sore spots before I even tell him they’re there. Always incredibly friendly — it’s so nice to be around positive people.
Speaking of, the office staff is so great. They’re all so sweet and helpful, I truly look forward to my visits from start to finish. And I always leave feeling better than when I came in.

I’ve been going to Dr. J for about four years. After being told for years by friends that I should try chiropractic (I thought they were witch doctors) I went in to give Dr. J a try. After that first appointment I walked out feeling better than I had in years… and a true believer.
I had a spinal injury years ago which effects the alignment quite a bit. Throw on top of that a lot of bike racing and running, and my back can get quite messed up at times. Dr. J keeps me in alignment, which means better posture, much less back problems and better performance.
If you’ve ever had spinal/​back issues and never tried chiropractic, give Dr. J a try… he’s the best.

After being reassured by a kind receptionist that requesting chiropractic treatment two months after a car accident does not make me A Bad Person, I settled on Roosevelt Chiropractic because they were close to my apartment.
Dr. Hobbs did a fantastic job with letting me know where I was at in terms of the injury, how the process of fixing it would go, and what to expect along the way. I also got the chance to meet Dr. Jyringi for one of my sessions; both of the doctors are extremely good at what they do. My treatment plan also included massages from Susan Werkema whose office is conveniently located on the other side of the office — she practices neuromuscular therapy, which resulted in some of the best massages I’ve ever gotten.
There was never any pushiness; the treatment schedule was based entirely on how I was progressing with my injury. *Everyone* was so nice and pleasant, even when I forgot my appointment times or arrived late. Plus, all of the treatment rooms have bowls of candy!
All in all, I feel the treatment I received at Roosevelt Chiropractic went above and beyond all my expectations, and while I hope to never be in another situation where I need chiropractic care again (*knocks on wood*), I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust my care to them.
