Support A Quality Local Business

by Ashley B

Over the last 25 years, I have started several businesses in the Capitol Hill area and have always been grateful for my local supporters. In the vein of mutual appreciation, I want to tell you about a treasure on North Capitol Hill that you may not know about: Dr. Jared Kohler, Chiropractic Doctor and Applied Kinesiologist. Dr. Kohler's clinic, The Vital Energy Center, is in a lovely house on the corner of 10th and E. Boston, just across from Bertschi School. Several Massage Therapists and a Nutritionist offer their services there, as well.

I am a landscaper and do tons and tons of stone work, sometimes too much for my body. Pushing hard on a project, I found one day that my back seized. I couldn't even turn my torso or my head even slightly, not even enough to slide into a car!

Dr. Kohler was the closest healer I could walk to. And I am glad I did! In one (emergency) session, Dr. Kohler freed me up: pain gone, flexibility returned and I walked out floating and free. Wow, it was some magic! I had a wee bit of good sense to slow down my work, but Dr. Kohler kept me mobile for the duration and in good time, I healed completely.

A year or so later, I was building a set of stone stairs, working late, and overdid it again. Oof. Once again, Dr. Kohler took care of me, though this injury requires a complete work-stoppage for healing time and continued care. Never-the-less, I could feel from the first visit that I was on my way to correction. He works wonders for me and keeps ME in business!

While I may be the "urgent care" type, Dr. Kohler treats all kinds of issues, from injuries to preventive and wellness care. In my experience, his methods are gentle and painless - no cracking and crunching.

He is caring, joyful, communicative and truly interested in educating me. He also frequently makes recommendations for things for me to do at home and work to heal and keep myself healthy.

I cannot do justice, verbally, to Dr. Kohler's methods and the subtleties of his approach. His receptionist, Meaghan, was very kind and answered any questions I had.

We are lucky to have a gentle, caring, trustworthy chiropractor like Dr. Kohler in our neighborhood.

Please join me in supporting such a quality local business.

Excellent Healer

by carmelnicole

Dr. Jared Kohler is an amazing healer. I've been seeing him for years for neck pain due to forward head posture from computer time & breastfeeding & life activities, wrist pain, sciatica during pregnancy, & miscellaneous aches & pains. He's efficient & finds the source of the pain or blockage of optimal health with ease. He offers clear explanations, adjusts me so that I am functioning better & offers ways for me to help myself be it with nutrition, excercises, etc. He's the first one I go to if I feel like I'm catching a cold too, to boost the immune system. His office is beautiful & comfortable & it is smooth running- I'm in and out within a half hour which is fabulous. Highly recommended!

Amazing!

by Scottbohart

I was one of Dr. Kohler's earliest clients and was thoroughly impressed not only with his abilities as a Chiropracter but also in his friendly, personable and intuitively understanding way of interacting with me. Every time i went there, i felt welcomed. appreciated and valued as a client. It wasnt long before i saw Jared more as a trusted friend than as my chiropracter.

Dr. Kohler's techniques are truly amazing. My ideas of Chiropractic work included bone crunching and popping and though there is a bit of that, his techniques are much less intense. Strangely, in spite of the lack of intensity, i always feel much, much better after a session with him. His majic hands gently discover the blockages in my body and - depending on the need - just as gently or firmly release them so that when i leave his office, i feel completely aligned and energized.

When i started Dr. Kohler was working on his own in an inexpensive basement clinic. Over the years i have seen him grow and have been thoroughly impressed with the VEC that he and his partners created a few years ago. Located at the quiet North end of Capitol Hill where parking is not an issue, the VEC is a lovely home that carries a relaxing and energizing feeling - making one forget that s/he is actually in the center of a large city..

I have sent many of my friends to Dr. Kohler and wholeheartedly reccomend that you too choose the Vital Energy Center if you desire to feel better in your body.
