Holt Chiropractic & Massage — Attraction in Port Orchard

I can only say good things about Dr. Holt and his team. If you want true change in your health and permanent, measurable relief from pain, he is the doctor to work with. I was completely skeptical, and started treatment with only a shred of hope that chiropractic care could help me. I am so glad that I took the risk, because the work they have done with me has produced results that are life-changing and practically miraculous. After just 3 months of treatment, I went on a hike!!! It was short, but it was the first time in close to 3 years that I’d been able to hike at all. I had searched for relief from pain for years and received no answers or help. Dr. Holt evaluated me, immediately understood the cause behind the back and nerve pain I’ve been suffering from for so long now, and I have been recovering at a rapid pace. The kind of treatment he provides is very rare, and sets him apart from other chiropractors on the Kitsap Peninsula. He does not simply adjust you, pat you on the back, and send you out the door. He is commited to getting you well, and monitors your progress monthly to ensure that your spine is moving correctly back into alignment. In addition to adjustments, the program involves strengthening and flexibility exercises, traction at home, traction at the clinic, and massage therapy. All together, it produces actual, measurable change in the function not just of the spine but of your overall health. As I teacher, I thought that being constantly sick was just a given- under Dr. Holt’s care, I went 7 months into the school year without a single sick day. I firmly believe I would not have seen such a change in my life if I was working with any other chiropractor in the area. I could not be more filled with joy and gratitude at this amazing gift he and his team have given me. I have my passion back! Living with chronic pain is a particular kind of hell, because in the process of battling constant physical pain, discouragement can give way to depression, desperation and despair. I often felt that I was locked in a prison of pain I couldn’t escape from. Now, this is my reality- after years struggling to walk without pain, at times shaking all over with pain from just standing for extended periods of time, I hiked up to see a waterfall and then picked my way down a steep hillside, holding on to tree roots and rocks, climbing over and under logs, to get to the bottom of the falls and look up at it, face soaked with the spray, ears full of the deafening roar of a river shooting clear of its banks a hundred feet above my head to pound into the rocky pool I was standing next to. I actually shouted “I am so happy!! This is my life!!” so loud it echoed in the trees on my way back to the trailhead and my waiting car. Thanks to Dr. Holt, this is my life now. I recommend him without...

I went in with a back pain. Traveling for a living, being my first appointment, and needing help before I left, it took a long time to just finally get to our first adjustment. Finally getting my adjustment I felt a lot better. I came in for a massage and was bummed out as it was more of a relax massage than a physical massage to help work muscle tension free. After having our second adjustment he required us to attend a presentation of his methods. In doing so, the ideology seemed very believable, and understanding, however he was extremely forceful and pressured us into scheduling many weeks of adjustments. So much so, he even tried to tell my wife who fights Cystic Fibrosis that his chiropractic methods would heal and replace some of her strong meds she takes on a daily basis. He required a down payment for the visit, upwards of $3000 per person. Overall, we stopped going as he was making false accusations of his healing methods, and was extremely forceful of his methods, being very disrespectful at times!

I would not suggest him...

Dr. Ali has been working with me on correcting what I would consider a debilitating and chronic sciatic issue. In November, I was barely able to be on my feet for more than 20 minutes while dealing with a constant nerve pain along with extreme muscle tightness from my lower back, down my leg and to my foot. Over the past 6 and a half months I have drastically improved. During the winter months I was able to get back into hiking and topped out at about 12.4 miles with about 4K elevation gain. I am now actively on my feet for over 12 hours a day during the opening of my business and have not experienced any backtracking. While my body is still getting used to being on my feet for long hours, I have to give my thanks to Dr. Ali and the entire Holt team for helping me get to a point where I can feel free to do many of my previous activities while taking on a new venture! Thank you so much for...
