What a humbling experience to serve communities in Fiji. Changed my perspective of what we do, how powerful it can be, and of life in general. Forever grateful for this experience, the memories, and the lives we were able to change 🙏🏽.

🧠Cʜʀᴏɴɪᴄ Tʀᴀᴜᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ Eɴᴄᴇᴘʜᴀʟᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ (CTE)🧠

A progressive loss of normal brain matter with simultaneous buildup of abnormal proteins known as tau proteins. Individuals at most risk are those that participate in activities that involve chronic repetitive impact to the head.🏈🥊

90% of previously studied brains now show that those athletes had some degree of CTE. One of the most recent studies showed that 110 of 111 brains from former NFL players were diagnosed with CTE. (Link to article below).

The problem right now is that it can only be diagnosed by examining brains after death.

There have been some steps taken to improve how these sports affect our health but the aftermath is still disheartening. Late stage CTE usually presents with symptoms such as memory loss, impaired judgement, aggression, depression, and even suicidality.

The craziest part of this disease is that symptoms can begin years or even decades after athletic involvement. This pattern of onset often sparks my conversation with my patients about how “PAIN follows DYSFUNCTION”.

We live in a pain driven world and often use that as an indicator of our health but as you can see with CTE, these athletes play their whole careers with this progressive disease that doesn’t fully affect them till later in life. The same principles apply to your spine. The poor postural habits, dysfunctional movements, and lack of spinal hygiene may not impact your health now but what about decades from now? 😕

⠀Pleased to share with you that I will be changing locations to serve the Federal Way community! Serving the Kent area for the last 8 months has allowed me to work with many different individuals/athletes to meet their health goals. I look forward to taking that experience with me and changing the standard of health care to level up the community around Federal Way.

⠀I am excited to bring awareness to addressing biomechanical faults, improving spinal health, and incorporating functional movement into my care plans here at Pearson Chiropractic. For those of you that I have worked with at the Kent location, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey to better health. Wishing you all the best in the future!🙏🏾❤

⠀For a limited time in the beginning of the new year, if you or your family/friend comes in to see me because of this post. Your initial examination will be FREE of charge (DM for details)! So let your loved ones know. I look forward to seeing you all in the near future. 🙂

⠀Excited to see what 2020 and beyond has in store for both myself and my patients! ✊🏾👨‍⚕️ @ Federal Way, Washington

Not everyday that you get to see films taken from the otherside of the world. 🦴🤓

The patient told me that he had no access to this type of care and began doing his own research before coming across chiropractic care. While being on vacation visiting family, he chose to come by the office and see if we could help.

I am excited for him to experience chiropractic care for the first time and can't wait to get him functioning at his best again. 💪🏾🧠

My Story

Dr. Balraj Khakh received his Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia in Kelowna, BC and received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree graduating summa cm laude from Life West Chiropractic College. He was a senior intern at the Life West Health Center for over one year and provided chiropractic care to many people of the Bay Area community. He was also associated with the South Pacific Chiropractic Health and Wellness Group on a service trip to the island of Fiji where he provided care to hundreds of people in need. His preferred adjusting techniques are diversified, drop table, extremities and he also incorporates various soft tissue techniques. He is currently working on completing his sports physician certification.

Dr.Khakh has received certifications in biomechanics, human movement and functional movement screening. All of which allows him to assess and correct dysfunction throughout the body. His passion for basketball and obsession with the biomechanics of human movement is what led him into the chiropractic profession. His training has provided him the tools for correcting improper joint movement by assessing the integrity of the musculoskeletal system. He is passionate about educating patients on the importance of spinal alignment and appropriate muscle activation during movements. His goal is to provide you with information that facilitates injury prevention and functional movement patterns. Dr. Khakh is originally from Williams Lake, British Columbia and is excited to serve his new community here in Kent, Washington.
