Tree of Life Chiropractic
Tree of Life Chiropractic is a family chiropractic practice in Seattle's Wallingford area that describes itself as Seattle's premier perinatal and pediatric chiropractic office. Care centers on pregnancy, birth and childhood, with prenatal and postnatal chiropractic, newborn and infant care, pediatric care and ongoing family wellness care. The two primary adjusting techniques used in the office are the Webster Technique and Torque Release Technique, chosen to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. Dr. Shea Kramer earned a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in 2010, is board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, is Webster Technique Certified and advanced proficient in Torque Release Technique, and trained under ICPA instructor Dr. Drew Rubin. Dr. Shea Kramer and Dr. Mariah Wenglewski serve families from the Seattle office on N 52nd St and a second office in Kirkland. The practice takes health insurance but is out of network, and new patients complete digital intake forms at the office.
