Backbone, LLC Backbone offers 20 years of experience serving Gig Harbor's health needs. Call today. 253.858.2474 “I started seeing a chiropractor when I was a teenager.

I went in because I had pain right between my shoulder blades. It seemed to help. In fact, I was so impressed that I decided to go to chiropractic school. Sitting in school, spending hours poring over books had caused my back pain to return- bad. That’s when I was introduced to The Pettibon System™. I dove into learning all I could about correcting the structure of the spine. Dr. Pettibon quickly

became a mentor and friend. I took his courses over and over until I began to teach them. After graduating, I practiced in my home town just outside Chicago. After almost 2 years, I was invited by Dr. Pettibon to come to Gig Harbor to run a practice for him. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. My wife, Jen, and I moved here in 2003. We are active with the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce, support many local charities, and have 4 beautiful children born here in the NW. We pride ourselves on keeping our practice a true place of hope and healing and invite you to come in and become part of our healthy family.”

👇This story is why we are so passionate about helping people at Backbone!

To get them back to living their lives fully is an absolute privilege.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen at Backbone for four years.

Dr. Cohen is the first of many physicians and specialists I saw over a 13-year period for chronic neck and back pain.

I climbed my way out of chronic pain and healed three ligament tears in my neck under his care.

Last year, I was physically able to travel for the first time in many years and went to Norway to meet my family!" - Lisa Hagen-Laughlin

We were so happy to be part of Lisa's journey to wellness and want to be that support for you, too!

If your doc orders a CT scan, please ask if an MRI would offer the same info without the radiation. Don't be afraid to have conversation with your docs about why tests are needed. The more invasive the test- the more specific the reasoning should be for it.

A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine estimates that CT scans performed in 2023 could contribute to more than 103,000 future cancer cases in the U.S.—accounting for about 5% of all annual cancer diagnoses.

Key Findings:

Over 93 million CT scans were conducted last year

Abdominal and pelvic scans posed the highest cancer risk

Children and older adults are especially vulnerable

While CT scans remain a vital diagnostic tool, researchers urge more cautious and judicious use, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making by both physicians and patients. In many cases, safer imaging alternatives may be available.

FHP has become an epidemic because of how much we sit as a society. Sitting is the #1 cause.

It can happen from a traumatic event but mostly happens from sitting too much. The more you sit, the worse it gets. You don’t have to live with the effects of forward head posture. We can restore your spine, your function, and your life.

If you want to be proactive in correcting your FHP, please contact us to book an initial treatment evaluation.📲(253) 858-2474

🤷Did you know this?

Your spinal cord is the “super highway” between the brain and all the vital organs, tissues, and cells of your body.

ALL the functions of your body are completely dependent on that communication coming through your spinal cord, which is carried through the nerves.

When your spine is misaligned, you aren't giving your body the optimal chance to function at its highest potential.

Personalized chiropractic care can restore your whole body's balance through corrective and preventative care.

If you haven't given your spine attention lately, give us a call to book an initial consultation.📲(253) 858-2474

Your spine health impacts all the vital organs, tissues, and cells of your body.

In fact, a study from the Shealy Institute in 1994 stated, “Spinal pain, blood pressure, headaches, pulse, lung capacity, and mood are only a small portion of the body’s functions that are most easily influenced by posture.”

If you notice that your body is not functioning at its optimal level and are experiencing issues in any of the listed areas, come in for a consultation.

We go through a detailed medical history to create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs.

Let's get your spine and body healthy again!

Another good question for Dr. Lukas!

When you crack your back at home, it doesn't address the part of the spine that needs an adjustment. You will experience the tightness continuing to come back again.

There's a better way to care for your spine.
