Chronic pain in my L5S1 is killing me for few month now and I am tired of being on Ibuprofen.
Does anyone know a good doctor or a therapist in Auburn-Kent-Federal Way area?
Thanks in advance!

I've heard that Palmer School chiropractic doctors are preferred but that's with my small sample space. Whatever works for you. I've had both Palmer and non-Palmer work for me.

I was going to a chiropractor who got me 90% fixed but said that a chiropractic doctor was needed. He said that not all doctors are created equal and for something involving limbs, bones you want the best, so he recommended Brodie Wood:

(I know it may be a ways for you but if you are looking for someone really good)

I went to Brodie a while before going to Iraq. Brodie had me on some pain meds and I was taking cortisone shots before PT tests. He eventually recommended surgery but I was deployed and the Army issued me the largest bottle of Advil I ever saw (of course it wasn't the better kind that Dr Wood recommended but the cheap ass kind).

I guess the combination of 120 degree heat and taking 14 grams of Solaray Vitamin C (water soluble of course)every day to flush out the vaccines (Anthrax, Hep B) did the trick and I was near pain free when I came back. Maybe just waiting things out and trying something different.

I DO NOT recommend pain pills for any duration. I've read that they retard any real repair that your body does.

I know an excellent spine doctor who is a highly skilled and trained surgeon that I served with. I know him very well. For instance, he completed one of the very few successful quad amputations in theater. He got extensive training in the Army and outside the service. I think he's a retired LTC. He runs a small spine practice, but he's out of state in Virginia.

If I had a spinal issue I'd seek him out.

Dr. Herzog.

Try Keane Bagby in Renton, next to IKEA. He is great at getting you upright and working again. He fixed a chronic inflammation I was experiencing in my lower back.
