Magnolia Chiropractic & Massage

Are u relying on meds to feel better?. Magnolia Chiropractic is an amazing place! I had neck, arm and shoulder pain for 10 months. The Spine Clinic at a local hospital said that they could not help me and gave me meds. The physical therapist did what they could but the pain continued. Dr. Penner helped me in about 10 visits at a reasonable price. I am totally off the meds. I worked out at my gym this week for the first time and I feel great! Thanks Dr. Penner and your wonderful staff for helping me so quickly. In our over medicated world, chiropractic is a viable alternative.…

Finally!. I've been looking for someone to take care of some intermittent back and neck problems since I moved to Seattle two years ago. I tried someone downtown that I'd describe as a cowboy chiro, quick, cocky and painful. I decided I was better off living on ibuprofen, China Gel and my hot/cold pad.

Recently I found Magnolia Chiro & Massage and I'm breathing a huge a sign of relief. Dr. Penner is reassuring, communicates clearly about what he's doing and why, and works with my body's weird quirks very well. Tai, the massage therapist is also a dream. She has the ability to loosen up or work out things I just thought I was going to have to live with in my old age.

I didn't know you could make a trip to a doctor fun, but the folks at the front desk manage to accomplish it. They work with my schedule and are one of the few medical offices I go to that respect my schedule and are prompt with my appointment times. They make billiing easy too. All in all a great find.…

Am glad I tried a new, more conveniently located, chiropract. When I saw Dr. Penner he had a lot to live up to. I’ve seen the same chrio for 11 years and love him. However, he’s a long schlep (to the north u district) no matter where I’ve lived. I’ve tried to change to more conveniently located chiros four times and never found one whose treatments stuck for more than two or three days, resulting in repeated expensive visits, lost time with work/family and consistent nagging discomfort.

Dr. Penner’s office is very professional, he treated me with respect, his staff and other professionals are pleasant and easy to work with. The office is clean and modern, with all the equipment you would like a chiropractor to have as resources. He knew that I was in a financial bind and worked with me forthrightly and honestly to get the best treatment I could based on my insurance availability. Most importantly after he adjusted me (I have major issues in c2 and c4/c5, and minor issues in th4 and in L2/L3/L4 areas) I felt much better, and now, three weeks later I still feel really good, remarkably so. I think I feel so much better because he taught me a new stretch that really works. It is one of those stretches that requires forming into a pretzel and then pulling at just the right location, something I haven’t come across myself despite many years of physical therapy, stretching, twisting, strength improvement and yoga-ing. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Penner and would recommend to anyone at least one visit to see if you have the same results that I did.…

Healing for this sufferer of chronic pain & illness. I have a chronic auto immune illness. I suffer from spondyloarthritis - an inflammatory spinal arthritis with no cure. Managing pain is my only option. I was nervous about switching to a new chiropractor (after 15 years with my current Dr.) but I tried Dr. Penner because the office is within walking distance. I was intrigued because he seemed innovative and has on staff a brilliant massage therapist with specialized training to work with physical injuries.

I cannot thank Dr. Penner enough for giving me back my health. While there is no cure for my illness, my pain is more manageable. And, the biggest surprise is that I have regained energy which has been missing for the last several years. With this new energy, I have become more active and optimistic about what I can do on a daily basis. I am beginning to exercise and move more which will help me regain some of the strength I've lost. This strength of course will help support my spine. Overall the work we've done has been a huge morale booster.

I've experienced healing on several levels through Dr. Penner's care. He listens, explains conditions well, includes exercises and stretches, has a good sense of humor and his office staff makes me feel incredibly welcome. As a "professional patient" I have a medical team which now includes Dr. Penner. My rheumatologist even mentioned how much better I appeared and asked what I'd been doing that was different.

This is a lengthy review but this is a really big deal for me and my family. Last year was spent primarily in bed. I believe this year will be different. I hope others, especially those with chronic pain or illness, give chiropractic care a try - especially with Dr. Penner. It is my hope that each one of you experience better health as I have.

So thanks Dr. Penner, Tai and Hailey for your help in my healing. It means the world to me.…
