Lifestyle Chiropractic

I have been going to Lifestyle Chiropractic since August 2015 and I have to say, I am really impressed! Dr. Dillan and Matthew VanEenoo are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and practical.
I had been suffering with upper back and shoulder pain for a number of years before deciding on going to a chiropractor. I was very skeptical at first; but I decided to give this kind of treatment a try.
Within a month I was feeling better and within three months I have no pain at all! No more sleepless nights of trying to get comfortable and no more waking up in pain. Because of Dr. Dillan and Matt, I am a convert! I highly recommend anybody who is looking to improve their health and sense of wellbeing!

I started going to Dr. Dillan in September. I’ve been suffering from chronic headaches daily. I’m happy to say after a few weeks of adjustments and exercises the headaches that plagued me for the last year are gone! I have absolutely no headache pain! I use to take ibuprofen like candy to keep the pain at bay. I’m still working on some other TMJ issues with Dr. Dillan and I feel like I’m getting great personalized care.

I met Dr. Dillan at his tent at a 5K — I was new to the area and already interested in finding a chiropractor, so I figured I’d take him up on the consultation to address some lower back and hip pain. I appreciate Dr. Dillan’s personal interest and care — he is kind as well as knowledgeable and always willing to explain his work and what is going on in my body. Dr. Dillan and all of the team are a joy to be around and I’m hopeful for how my aches and issues will continue to improve beyond what I’ve already seen!

I threw out my back helping my Dad move an old tanker desk up two flights of stairs. A week later, I came to the realization it wasn’t just muscles that were sore and it actually felt like it was getting worse. I was referred to Dr. Dillan by a friend who said he did good work when she was experiencing back problems. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try, and it was covered by my insurance ($ 15 co-​pay). Dr. Dillan was great, not only did he adjust my back, he also did a small battery of test to look at both my skeletal structure and how my back muscles were interacting with my spine. He gave me options for various methods of rehabilitation and talked me through my test results compared to average results, and what the ideal results would be. I now see Dr. Dillan when my back is giving me issues and for semi-​regular adjustments. Since I have started this regiment pain in my neck and hips has disappeared from other activities I enjoy as well, for instance when I run longer than a few miles, or when I spend time cooking. I was looking for a quick adjustment to stop the pain in my back, but I found a doctor who I think will help prevent much more serious issues. I would recommend Dr. Dillan to anyone I know.

The staff here are really nice and friendly and absolutely know what they’re doing. That goes for the physical therapist as well as the chiropractor and of course the front office. So I would highly recommend this place for what they say they do.
That said, I was asked **so*** many personal questions by way of casual conversation that I felt exhausted rather than relaxed at the end of it. It’s a less than 5 minute adjustment. It’s okay to not talk sometimes.
I’m not Caucasian and I can assure you some of the questions that were asked would fit well in videos like this one:
I’ll leave the rest for you to imagine.

Dr. Barry and his team have been the reason my headaches finally went away. Dr. Barry not only wants you to get better, he want to help train your body so you need fewer and fewer adjustments. Through adjustments and massages, as well as some physical training from Matt, I am on my way to a healthier and better lifestyle.

Everyone is extremely nice except for a real terror massage therapist named Jane. I hate to write this, but she has been a mean, cold person, s real B — -! Everyone else is very warm and friendly.

Great place! Treatments are appropriate, staff is professional and nice. Dr. Barry is accessible, honest, and genuinely wants to cure using various modalities.

Lifestyle chiropractic is awesome. I took my grandmother here to see Dr. Barry. She had some major back pain which lasted a couple of days. I contacted Lifestyle and got an appointment 1 day later. The staffs were wonderful. Dr. Barry was very friendly, easy to work with, and very knowledable. Not only he fixed her back, he also gave her some small exercise to help strenghten her back, and move better. Lifestyle Chiropractic is great. I highly recommend Dr. Barry and his team.

So this is gonna be a strange review. This is a two star for the atmosphere, because yeah, I am that uncomfortable in this place.
I’ve been here three times for a massage, twice by the same masseuse. She was awesome, so this doesn’t reflect on her. Nice, professional, starting out. Tries to do everything to make it easier on you. The third masseuse I saw knows her stuff, but seems really uncomfortable in her own skin. She gave me a great massage, but wasn’t exactly the relaxing type. I totally missed my appointment and she rescheduled for later in the day; that was great. (I tipped her well). I would probably recommend her for sports massage, which I know she would be simply awesome at and I would probably see her again at a different location. I have not been here for the chiropractic services (hence the weird review).
Now for the weird guy. I assume he was one of the chiropractors, and yeah, I did not see him nor will I ever. They have some weird obsession with the shared bathroom in this place, which is shared by the businesses in this building. I usually was running here after work, so yeah… using the shared bathroom in this place is a BIG deal. The receptionist didn’t exactly come out and say «we don’t like our clients to use it» but they make a big deal about giving you the key and where it is at and get this, making sure you shut the door to the hallway, because why? Not for quiet or comfort of the clients… but to keep out the «strange people» Yep. After I guess forgetting to shut the door tightly to the hallway and the office, this guy actually called me out on it in the sitting room of all places, and told me that was not acceptable as we need to keep out «those strange people in Green Lake out.» Lovely.
Yep, it shares a bathroom with a coffee place and a women’s sports place, so I assume he thinks a lot of homeless people break in, which, being Seattle, I can see, but seriously, that was soooo snooty. And just… who says that to a client in their office? This guy! I thought it was one of the most unprofessional and rude comments to make. If you are cool with that type of behavior, by all means, go here, but seriously, it annoyed me to no end. Won’t be going back.

I love Lifestyle! They are caring, gentle people who always remember my name! I love that they subscribe to paleolithic/​back to basics solutions to health. They are also accommodating when it comes to finances and scheduling. The whole team is great: Barry is knowledgeable and attentive. Christina, a massage therapist there, has an intuitive touch. Kim, the receptionist, is always a joy. Matt has a current approach to physical therapy. If you live in the area, don’t hesitate to become a patient at Lifestyle.

I love Lifestyle Chiropractic! Dr. Gjerdrum is so awesome. He is so knowledgeable and nice, and puts you at ease whether you’re there for a routine adjustment or due to a pain filled day. The staff is great, there is a play area for the kids when they’re waiting for the short time it takes to meet with doc, and the space is cheery, bright and convenient to mostly anywhere.
As a side note, sort of, I have had experiences where I went to a doc or chiropractor who was in poor physical condition. Dr G is in great shape, and it makes it very easy to trust that he knows what it takes to feel fabulous in your own skin at any age! I know that sounds rotten and judgmental about people who may have issues that cause them to gain weight, and I’m not trying to sound like that. I just think that health care practitioners have the ability to inspire, and those who appear to not take their own advice leave me feeling less hopeful, I guess.
That’s my $.02:)

Christina is hands-​down one of the best massage therapists I have been to! She just has a way with her hands that makes you feel as if you are being healed right there on the table. I would highly suggest making an appointment to see her. I have had many massages in my lifetime, she is the only therapist that I have actually fallen asleep during her treatments, twice!

Recently received an excellent therapeutic massage from Stephanie at Lifestyle Chiropractic. I briefly explained the areas that I’ve been having a lot of muscle tightness from as a result of stress as well as a nagging pain near my back/​hip that I’ve had for nearly a year (running injury). While I’ve seen other therapists that have worked on my back/​hip issue, this was the first time I’ve felt pain free in that area since my initial injury. She also showed me a few stretches that I can/​should be doing to prevent similar pain in the future for both my shoulders and lower back.
I highly recommend massage therapist Stephanie at Lifestyle Chiropractic.

I have now had the pleasure of getting exceptional service from Dr. Barry and his team. He has an EXCELLENT group of massage therapist: Annie, Tabitha and Christina are miracle workers. I travel a lot and have had some issues to work through over the last years and Dr. Barry has the utmost professionalism and concern for everyone that comes in to his office. If you live or work in the Greenlake area look no further he is the BEST!!!

I have received care from Dr. Barry for about a year now, and my back and neck pain have subsided to a point where I only need to be seen once a month. I have been to other Chiropractors who have told me I will need Chiropractic care for my whole life, however Dr. B has pointed out that having a «healthy lifestyle» can be the key to having your body in balance. I appreciate the time he spends with me, and educating other patients through his wellness groups.
To address a previous comment made about his wife and kids, I will stand by the fact that Dr. B is a family oriented man. He is a pediatric specialist, so obviously his children and family would be an important part of his business.
I would recommend Dr. B to anyone in need of Chiropractic care!

Barry is a nice man and does great work. I would refer anyone to go see him.

I really like Dr. Barry as an individual and appreciate that the aim of his practice is to improve the patient’s lifestyle (hence the name) and not just focus on chiropractic care. However, you would not know that from his business. He really does have an in-​and-​out manner and while I’m a busy person and don’t like wasting time, I would appreciate a little more attentiveness and not just be the next body on the table (literally).
I also experienced pain after my appointments. He assured me it would go away but after going to him for a month and a half (yes, I really did want to like his practice that badly) I gave up.
