The Vital Energy Center

I have been seeing Dr. Kohler going on nine years and have seen him accomplish incredible things. When I started seeing him I had a hard time walking due to two incidents in one week that damaged my sacrum. I thought I would see him a couple times, get to a point of feeling pretty good and move on my way. Instead I would learn more about my body and preventative home care than I ever have and stay with him on his incredible journey. Not only have I healed from that incident, but I have gained a doctor and a friend that I can truly trust who sees me as whole. I truly believe that me only having to see my ND once a year for annual checkups is a direct result of Dr. Kohlers care. Dr Kohler is positively changing the way people think about Chiropractors in a universal way!

When I first moved here to Seattle I knew I needed to find another AK Chiropractor because they are the only ones that seem to truly help the healing and stabilization process for the spine. My original AK doctor referred me to one in Seattle. I started seeing this doctor and found him to be very impersonal and he wasn't helping me get stable. After that experience I decided to do my own research when I stumbled across The Vital Energy Center. I remember talking to the receptionist and explicitly asking her questions about Jared's methods and his AK practice to make sure I wouldn't end up in the same predicament. Much to my surprise, Jared Kohler was nothing like the other doctor. He was a gazillion times better!!! Jared genuinely cares for my well being and wants to help me get better so that I don't have to be dependent on chiropractic care for the rest of my life. I've never had such great results as I've had with Jared. He has helped me change my habits so that I treat my spine better and he makes sure you have the proper information and tools for home care...because it shouldn't stop after you leave his office. Every time I hear of somebody complaining of neck pains, or hear of somebody just getting in a car accident I tell them about Jared and send them a link to his site. He is the best chiropractor I've ever met, and I wouldn't go to anybody else. He's helped me tremendously and he's even made a believer out of my husband. If you've had bad experiences with other chiropractors and you are scared to go to them, but find yourself living with pain, you should go to Jared and I'm sure you'll change your mind and you won't have to live with the pain any longer.

....and after you visit Dr. Kohler's office you'll see why it's just not fair to compare all the other docs to him...as he is in a league of his own!! I have been seeing Jared for a little over 7 years now and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. His approach is both highly informative and effective. I have been to many docs and find that most of them are reluctant to explain their process in how they determine what is going on with me, but Jared is so in love with what he does that it's a pleasure for him to inform you. I am a semi-pro musican that has needed regular care to be at my optimum ability to perform and Jared has been able to create a custom care program for my particular needs from which I have experienced unquantifiable benefits. Dr Kohler and his staff have created a great atmosphere for healing that draws you in an keeps you relaxed the entire visit. I look forward to seeing him again soon!!

Pros: Energy, Atmosphere, Staff

Cons: None!!

I asked Jared fro help for the first time, 6 years ago, and I have always been extremely happy with everything. He helps you be autonomous and his healing process corresponds to my idea of what a practitioner should be . Also over the years , he changes all the time in a good way, with new techniques etc... It is a gentle practice not the common chiropractor as we most know it. I always recommend Jared for work on the body which demands great responsibility and always wonder what I will do if I have to leave Seattle. Vanessa

Jared Kohler has the most nurturing yet powerful touch. He is an amazing healer, combining skillful precision and intuition. Jared genuinely cares deeply for his patients, giving them many empowering suggestions for their lifestyle and well being. He works with many techniques including muscle testing and continues to expand himself through continuing education. He has helped and has inspired many people in the Seattle community.

I went to see Dr. Kohler with whiplash after being rear-ended in a car accident. I appreciate the techniques he uses to promote awareness in his clients, helping them be an agent in their own healing. The care is subtle and effective. Early on in treatment I was discouraged and thought that I'd never get rid of the pain. I am happy to say that I am now completely pain free and restored to my former state of activity and comfort. Thank you!

Pros: location great. parking no problem.

I have been to Dr. Kohler for two years now and my back and neck are officially spasm free. As a gymnast for 10 years, dancer for 20, and working in a stressful environment with intensive computer work, I had resigned myself to monthly back and neck spasms. I had tried massage, physical therapy, yoga, medication, acupuncture-- everything. Having been skeptical of chiropractors I was nervous but desperate-- my last spasm had been so painful-- and meeting Dr. Kohler completely changed my perception! He taught me daily physical and visual exercises that gave me the power to heal myself between visits, and his gentle and focused approach during sessions quickly added up to a complete transformation of my posture which had the direct result of NO MORE SPASMS. He has guided my body through stressful emotional experiences, illness, and physical setbacks and my recovery time gets shorter and shorter with each visit. All it takes is one visit to see why he is highly highly recommended.

Pros: relaxing ambience, bedside manner, convenient location, after work hours

jared is the chiropractor i always hoped was out there, but hadn't found. i have had back problems for many years and been to several chiropractors before meeting jared. after an auto accident i felt like my old chiropractor was hurting me more than helping me. fortunately i met jared and will never go to another chiropractor. he is completely tuned in to what is going on with the human body, and his gentle, subtle work has made a huge difference in my quality of life!

Pros: great atmosphere

Cons: none

Seattle's #1 Chiropractor I highly recommend Jared Kohler, DC, AK to anyone who needs treatment for neck pain, lower back pain and stiffness. I was referred to Dr. Kohler by my Acupuncture Practitioner. I was reluctant to see any Chiropractor. My previous experience with a Chiropractor had been very painful and not beneficial to me at all. My Acupuncture Practitioner assured me that Dr. Kohler truly offered gentle, painless and effective treatments. Having confidence in what my Acupuncture Practitioner told me, but still reluctant, I finally gave in and decided to see Dr. Kohler. My Acupuncture Practitioner was right! Dr. Kohler offers such soothing, painless, effective and gentle energy chiropractic treatments. His treatments leave me feeling very relaxed, pain free, well-balanced and healed. My vision has improved too! As a result of his treatments, I am no longer taking any conventional medications. I feel very comfortable referring anyone to Dr. Kohler without a second thought. He is the best! I am so happy that he has made my dreams come true (I am living pain free and taking no medications). Thank you Dr. Kohler! As a matter of fact, I am so grateful for having his treatments that I am willing to talk with you, should you have any questions. You may reach me personally at 206-226-7849. Hannah

Pros: Dr. Kohler takes the time to listen and really cares about his clients.

Cons: NONE
