I started coming to Clear Chiropractic basically as a last resort after having fallen into a terrible cycle of anxiety and panic to the point it had become a major disorder and was destroying my life. I had read that the Blair technique could help with anxiety because it allowed the body to heal itself once the upper cervical area was properly aligned. After almost a solid year of daily crippling anxiety and panic attacks that landed me in the ER multiple times, I starting seeing Dr. Ellis. I have been just about 100% anxiety free since probably my second or third adjustment. I have made a few other lifestyle changes but nothing drastic....I can honestly say coming here changed my life. I was at a point where I didn’t know how to function or care for my 4 small children and after these adjustments I was getting back to myself, back to feeling confident, and back to being able to live without constant fear of my next panic attack. I’m a lifelong patient and believer at this point. Just recently I did something to my left shoulder that was causing excruciating pain and I didn’t know why and nothing I did helped it. I actually saw another chiropractor for an adjustment and even though it helped a bit, it did not alleviate the terrible pain I was in. After dealing with the pain for almost a month I got back in to see Dr Ellis and the next day I was pain free. It almost makes no sense and yet it makes perfect sense! I have two of my kids getting adjustments as well and we’ve seen improvements in them....this will be our go to treatment for just about everything going forward! I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for what we have found with Clear Chiropractic....
   Read moreThis past summer, I relocated to Spokane and was eager to visit a chiropractor for an adjustment after being without care for over a year. During my initial appointment in December, I was informed that I needed an x-ray, which my insurance wouldn’t cover. Although I preferred to wait and apply the cost toward my deductible for the following year, I felt pressured to go ahead with the x-ray in order to start treatment.
When I returned the following week, I encountered further pressure to sign a contract that committed me to three treatments a week. I decided against signing and chose to pay for each session individually. During that visit, I received a neck adjustment using a drop table.
Three weeks later, I returned and voiced my concerns. The chiropractor explained that they don't perform full-body adjustments, which was not what I was asking for. I was simply looking for a neck and back adjustment, even though I only planned to visit a few times a year. During that session, I felt minimal pressure on my back and was told that I didn't need any adjustments since I was aligned. However, I suspect my insurance will still be billed as if I received treatment.
In my opinion, the services felt inadequate and seemed more focused on financial gain than actual care. I believe that receiving at least one adjustment annually is beneficial for health, and I regret spending money on an unnecessary x-ray without a clear explanation of their treatment approach, particularly regarding the lack of full adjustments. I wouldn't recommend this place to my...
   Read moreIn March of 2016 I decided to see Dr. Rachae Bell for an injury I sustained that involved my head and neck and left me with chronic headaches and sharp neck pain. The headaches were so constant I thought they would never go away and any physical activity would leave me feeling a sharp, shooting pain up my shoulder and through my neck. Being a very active 30 year old with a passion for snowboarding, golf, hiking, and playing with my 5 and 11 year old kids, I thought this injury would be life altering. And for quite a few months it was. I had a hard time playing with my kids like I used to, and any snowboarding at all left me feeling miserable for days with constant pain and increased headaches. The pain persisted for quite some time while receiving treatment and I doubted the effectiveness of the adjustments. But knowing Dr. Bell’s background, training, and passion for helping others, I had faith that she could heal me and get me back to 100%. Today is January 9th 2017 and this photo attached is of me from yesterday taken at Schweitzer Mountain. Not only are my headaches gone, but the pain in my shoulder and neck is gone as well. Dr. Bell gave me back the ability to do what I love and for that I am incredibly grateful. Thank you Dr. Bell, Roxanne, and Mackenzie, for caring about your patience so much and for providing an alternative to pain-killers, surgery or just accepting less than optimum health. You guys are incredible and our community is a better place for having you in...
