The science, art and philosophy of Chiropractic is centered around restoring your body to perfect functioning, so we do not rely on treating symptoms which are just the expression of something not functioning properly. Instead of treating your condition or masking your symptoms with drugs, we try to correct the cause of any dysfunction, paying particular attention to the spine and nerves. We do this because the brain and nerves control all the other functions in the body, and relate you to your environment.
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost in Parkland WA. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

I have very complex spinal issues and pain problems. I have been seeing Dr. Salmi for 13+ years and his care is the only thing that keeps me going. He is careful, knowledgeable, and doesn't mince words. At one point about 9 years ago he said I should get an MRI and see an orthopedic surgeon which I did and had surgery. In 2012 I was on vacation and needed help with my back. Dr. Salmi spoke on the phone with the Activator doctor I found in South Dakota and I got a great treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Salmi and the staff at ACTS chiropractic. They are total professionals.

The guy threatened me physically! My regular Chiropractor was booked up for a week and so I found this person Salmi who has some good reviews. I set and appointment and was there on time (this means I scheduled my day around his schedule not my convenience). When I get there the place is like 90 degrees and very uncomfortable. I fill out a mountain of paper work which I am still working on when he comes in and asked me if it has happened before and I said probably as I have been seeing a chiropractor for the last 30 years off and on but I can't remember if this particular complaint has popped up before.
He says what worked for you and when I described what my guy does he says that's manipulation and I don't do any of that I'll give you a number to which I said in a rather agitated voice ":thanks for wasting my time" he says are you raising your voice in my office do I have to physically remove you and he gets right up over the top of me, hes much taller than I and intimates hes about to lay hands on me.
I let myself quickly out as I typically don't want to waste time with arrogant jerk if I can avoid it. This guy is a totally arrogant condescending and dangerous man, I advise you to stay far away.

Dr. Salmi (synonymous w/solve me) and staff instantly put you at ease with a calming demeanor and a detailed, caring analysis of your condition. The receptionist, Megan, is a sweetheart. Their Bichon Frise, Charlie will visit you in the waiting room w/tail wagging to lift your spirits. No pushing, pulling, tugging or drugging here. Don't bother asking for any short term solutions unless your in dire straits (and you still won't get any). After 3 visits, still pretty sore so no miracles are happening but w/subsequent visits, I have faith. With the religious atmosphere here, you will too.
