About Our Clinic

West Valley Chiropractic Centre belongs to the Yakima Chiropractic group, and opened in 1991. The purpose is to provide quality chiropractic care with a personal touch and for patients to be treated as a friend. We are honest and straightforward in our discussions and recommendations.

Located on West Nob Hill, the office is conveniently located for our patients that live in town in Yakima, as well as in Tieton, Cowichie and the surrounding areas.

The cost of care is very important. We have a very affordable fee schedule and we don’t recommend exams, x-rays, or treatment unless it is necessary.

Having multiple doctors in our clinic group assures patients convenient access to care. Most generally the patient will be treated by their primary provider, but in cases of emergencies or weekends, other doctors are available to provide care. The clinic is open 8:00 am to 6:30 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and 2:00 to 6:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturday hours are available at our Yakima office from 9:00 am to noon. Our clinic policy is do our very best to see a patient same day.

Our office offers hydro massage tables, intersegmental traction tables, drop tables, flexion/distraction tables, digital x-rays, massage therapy, and a rehab department.

We feel that teamwork between the doctor and patient is also very important. The reason we get such good results is that we ask the patient to work with us as a team with everyone committed to working hard to get well and to stay well.

We believe that a patient deserves to be offered the best care and recommendations to get them better as quickly as possible and to stay that way. We also believe that a patient has the right to choose the care that they want to participate in. Some patients will choose a complete care program of relief, correction and strengthening, while others choose only to participate in relief care. Whatever treatment plan a patient chooses, we are there for them.

We are proud of the services that we provide. We bring the best quality of chiropractic care to our patients utilizing the latest developments in the science of chiropractic and the modern equipment and procedures. Our rehab department allows the patient to further improve their outcome and be an active participant in their care. We also offer Massage therapy and we have found this is a very good compliment to the chiropractic care to optimize patient results.

Honest and caring… what a real Doctor-Patient relationship should be!
