Laura Balent - Chiropractor
TESTIMONIALS
NICOLE L.
My first experience with Dr Laura was intriguing to say the least. I am a massage therapist specializing in professional athletic performance. In 2004, a player for the Seattle Seahawks asked me to come with him to his appointment. He was desperate for me to work as a compliment to Dr Balent. After sitting through his session I had to experience her work for myself.
Of course Dr Balent is not traditional. She thinks way outside of "the box." This is why I value her work more than words can express. My first session was enough to have me hooked to the current date. I have never found anyone with the palpation and assessment skills in the chiropractic field she possesses. I am so grateful to have found her, not only has she glued me back together each and every year but she is a huge asset to my professional network.
Growing up in the field of kinesiology and bodywork I am an "out of the box" thinker. I am well aware this is learned. Anyone I have ever sent to Dr Laura have always said the same things, "That was strange but man do I feel better." Realizing "the box" is stifling helps open the mind to the modalities and healing Dr Laura Balent has to offer. I cannot recommend her more! She is my lifesaver!

Dr Balent has been a great health partner, fixing things that need to be fixed, coaching me on improving my health practices, and referring me to competent professionals as needed.
She guided me through a 35-pound weight loss without dieting through habitual exercise, improved nutrition, and supplements. Critical to this is keeping my body fit and healthy so I can keep up the activity. When colds threaten, she came up with a combination of supplements that keep me healthy.
When my daughter was suspicious of doctors, Dr Balent found someone my daughter trusted who treated her successfully.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, caring doctor to partner with you for improved health, look no further than Dr Balent

Laura is a master at tuning into the body and what it needs - mentally, emotionally, nutritionally, physically and spiritually.
She also has a wealth of education, guidance, and understanding in these areas I am very cautious with my health and any potential outside influence.
Anytime I feel something is off in my body - from shoulder pain, to headaches, to vertigo - I tune in and am directed toward a session with her. I feel seen, heard, understood, healed and uplifted when I leave
I highly recommend her work

I have been going to Dr. Laura Balent for over 20+ years!
The chiropractor I went to before Dr. Laura was the epitome of why I really avoided going to a chiropractor. A quick 15" adjustment, "wam-bam-thank you-ma'am"and see you in a week!" I would get relief for maybe a day or two, @ best. I was forking over $$ without any long lasting effects.
Dr. Laura is just the opposite. She takes time to listen to what you think needs help, makes her assessment and then starts the adjustments. If you're too tight, out comes the heating pad and then a little massage with the hand held massage machine. If my lower back or hips need help, out come the foam wedges, letting your body relax onto them and doing adjusting the natural way. When she's done, she gives you a few moments to sit up do a little twisting and stretching, and if you feel like there's still an area that might feel a little stuck, she'll continue to treat you until you feel everything feels better. She also uses muscle testing to help pinpoint where the issue might be.
Laura has studied how different supplements can assist you in getting your body into a healthy state. Has helped me tremendously with stomach/bile duct issues.
Her warmth and caring attitude is genuine and I would highly recommend her!
