Midway Chiropractic

Massage therapist hurt my shoulder badly, did not listen to anything I said about my pain or ailments. I had pain in my shoulder for close to a year, in an area that’s never hurt before. Chiropractor insisted on doing forceful adjustment even after to told him I don’t respond well to this type of adjustment. Nothing worse than a group of people who don’t listen to the patient.

I was in a car accident last month, and came here because my dads seen them for an accident he had a few years ago. I’m so happy I decided to come here for my treatments. So far, I’ve seen Dr. X, Dr. George, and Dr. Randy and they’re all terrific! They each have their own style but of course everyone has their favorite ;-) Every single person that works there is truly amazing and genuine. Also, Crystal gives amazing massages if you’re into deep tissue. Parking can be kind of scary so just be aware.

I am entering my third month of twice a week treatment with Dr. Xavier Ibarreta and Jimmy the physical therapist. I have had Fibromyalgia for fifteen years. I currently have a ruptured L5 disk and both SI joints knocked out from a fall onto cement. I have an ongoing issue with whiplash from an auto accident followed by a scuba diving accident. Yep, my back is messed up. I saw the best spine surgeon at the UW and he told me to wait six months and if I don’t get better by sitting around doing noting he will due open back surgery. He literally told me to do as little as possible and not use my back for six months. No thank you.
This is the third Chiro office I have been treated at since my journey with chronic pain began in 1999. These men are far superior to any other Chiropractor I have seen. When I arrived I was struggling to walk and bend over. Now we are trying to get my knees to touch my shoulders! My injury is there and serious. These men are not afraid to touch me, move and manipulate my muscles and joints or to push me to help my recovery. If you have Fibro and you see a physical therapist that does not push you to the beginning of pain and help you stretch through it, that practitioner is not helping you. If I don’t use my muscles while dealing with this back injury they will recoil and I will be in serious trouble not to mention debilitating pain. Dr. Ibarreta is committed to helping me heal and getting my Fibro under better control. The way he talks to me while he does everything is not only kind but comforting. He tells me exactly what he is doing with every move of his hands. What muscle or nerve he is «flossing» and what part of my neck and back he can feel is swollen and out of line. His knowledge of the human skeletal system is remarkable.
The office staff is also wonderful. I get text reminders of my appointments. I am always greeted with a smile and called by my name. I never wait long in the lobby but it is filled with information regarding the human back and skeleton system. The entire office is always clean and there is bottled water available
Go here. Get help. Feel better.

Dr. Kagetsu is a great Chiropractor, delivers unparalleled results at an affordable price and Dr. Ibarreta is awesome too. They all use ART (active release therapy), and I had been to a few chiropractors over the past fifteen years or so and I always felt rushed and in and out. Dr. Craig and his staff take the time to listen to my concerns and pain issues before just going in a adjusting. They really care about helping people feel their best and working to achieve that through stretching and strengthening muscles along with the Chiropractic care and they are great at giving advice about preventative exercises and tips.
Great professional personalities of the staff Josephine, Teresa and Jimmie and excellent clinical skills of the docs. Positive vibe of office characterizes the practice.
I have now been going to Midway for I think at least five years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else and would definitely recommend Dr. Craig Kagetsu and his staff to anyone in the area! Wonderful overall experience!

Earlier this year I got into my first car accident and started to experience neck/​back pain. I didn’t know where or who to get treated from. My manager referred me here because another employee was treated here years ago and liked it very much. On my first visit, everyone was very nice and welcoming. I don’t normally get that at any walk-​in clinics. They were really knowledgeable and helpful because I didn’t know a thing about car accident injuries. They gave me a treatment plan to follow and my pain got much better.
I would definitely recommend Midway Chiropractic. All the doctors and other employees are very experienced. All the employees are very friendly. Scheduling is always flexible no matter how last minute it is. The atmosphere of this clinic and how effective the treatment is, made me keep coming back for my appointments no matter how busy my day was or how exhausted I already am after leaving work.

I went here late last year for a lingering case of sciatica. I injured my back lifting, it was never all that serious, just painful and annoying. I talked to my doctor about my symptoms, he suggested sciatica, but his treatment suggestions were «stop lifting for a few months and stretch.» Well, I’m a competitive lifter, and had a meet coming up in under two months, so that wasn’t an option.
I did a little research, and was informed that a chiropractor certified in A.R.T. (active release technique) was likely my best bet. So I did a search on the A.R.T. website, and cross referenced that against my Group Health provider network, and was hooked up with Midway Chiropractic. At this point I’ve been treated by all the members of their staff, but my primary doctor was Dr. Xavier Ibarreta.
After discussing my symptoms and having some imaging done at a Group Health location, Dr. Xavier confirmed my sciatica diagnosis and put me on a treatment plan to have me prepared for my competition. He (and the other members of the staff) was very knowledgeable, very friendly & personable. My sciatica gradually faded away, after about two months it was gone completely, and I am happy to report I smashed all of my PRs in the competition, too.
I would definitely recommend Midway Chiropractic and Dr Xavier to anyone needed any sort of chiropractic care. Everyone in the office is very friendly, they are extremely flexible with scheduling, and I had great results from the treatment, too.
It was a bit of a hike down to Midway from Seattle, but from my experience, definitely worth the drive.
