JanSParticipantRobindianne…for acupuncture, try Debbie Hoffman or Linda Minato. They are in the junction on 44th right across from True Value Hardware.
For a chiropractor, try Dr. Brian Wiebe. He’s a Fauntleroy Chiropractic…at the foot of SW Oregon, where it meets Fauntleroy, on the east side of the street. He’s also a member of the WS Chamber of Commerce…

JanSParticipantactually, from a previous comment, I said “Really good acupuncturists…either Linda Minato (206-767-3298) or Debi Hoffman(206-781-3527). Both are located at 4746 44th Ave. SW Suite #203. It’s right across the street from Junction True Value. They are both extremely knowledgeable in their field.â€
thought I’d be a little more precise :)

RobindianneParticipantThank you JanS! Have you used any of them? I will check to see if they are in my insurance network.

JanSParticipantI have been treated by Dr. Weibe, but not recently…I loved his gentle touch. He’s just a really nice person, and very knowledgeable. I’ve also been treated by Linda Minato….she’s really very, very good. Debi worked for a naturopath in West Seattle a number of years ago, when my daughter also worked there. She’s both an RN, and an acupuncturist…and both very, very nice…

AnonymousInactiveDr. Bailey Ferkel on 35th Ave SW. next to the old West Seattle Herald Building, he is fantastic!! He uses gentle pressure, diet and exercise as methods of healing. He is very gentle, and soft-spoken.

TammiWSMemberI agree, Dr. Ferkel is great. I’ve been going to him for years – great demeanor, very knowlegable about mind/body/nutrition connection…Give him a call…

charlabobParticipantMiranda Taylor (www.taylorgoodhealth.com) She’s amazing (the first acupuncture I ever had, so she also overcome fear). Slightly out of WS, but also http://www.communichi.org for community, sliding scale acupuncture from folks who are extremely kind *and* professional. I’m dealing with chronic pain (see previous post on other forum about the wonderful purple cane) and these two saved me many times! I can’t say too much, so I’ll stop.

SeamabMemberThere are a couple different types of acupunture as well which might effect your decision. If you are needle phobic, Nancy Ishii at White Crane Spa (206) 937-4777 practices the Japanese style of acupunture which is much gentler in comparison to the Chiense style of acupunture. She does accept some insurances. She’s really good. And as a side note, she is very good with prenatal acupuncture and will also treat children.

RobindianneParticipantThanks everybody. My goal for the coming week is to call for conultations and get an appointment with at least one acupuncturist. I like the idea of having multiple methods like Miranda Taylor does so I’ll probably try her place first. I’ll post back what I find out.
Thank you again.

dksmithMemberElyce Tajima(L.Ac., M.S.O.M. on her card) is great for acupuncture. She’s at Sound, Mind, Body (?) on California next to Talarico’s pizza. Elyce is very gentle, takes her time, gets to know you — over-all a very thoughtful, patient acupuncturist. 206-271-9939

helenMemberI’ve had no luck with acupuncturists in West Seattle, but I just found out that a GREAT licensed acupuncturist, who I’ve gone to for about 5 years in Madison Valley has just opened a satellite office in West Seattle!!
She’s got great bedside manner, offers years of experience and lots of great little touches that make the experience therapeutic on several levels — I highly recommend Lindsey Lawson!
Here’s her info:

em.mMemberCollins Chiropractic in Burien is excellent if you don’t mind taking a couple extra minutes to go to Burien (really easy if you live in the White Center, Arbor Heights, etc area). He knows what he is doing and truly cares about your treatment. I have had ongoing pain in my shoulders and mid-back since I had a nasty fall when I was 10 years old, and I have now never felt better in my life! http://www.collinschiropractic.info/
