Next you will go to a private room where you will give either Dr. Dodge or Dr. Johnson a thorough history of your complaint, plus some details as to family history, surgeries, etc. We will then do an examination to determine whether or not we feel chiropractic is right for your condition and to see if further testing is needed before care.

I recently suffered an on the job injury. After three weeks of recovery and minimal pain relief, I made an appointment at Life in Balance Family Chiropractic in Carnation based on a friend’s recommendation. When you arrive, you are greeted by Sarah who is friendly, inviting and understanding. Dr. Johnson listened to my concerns about my recovery. After just three appointments with his healing adjustments and healthcare recommendations, I finally feel like I am on the road to recovery! We are now in the process of making appointments for the rest of the family, including my special needs toddler

I LOVE Life in Balance Family Chiropractic care! I went in with lots of pain and Dr Johnson listened to my concerns and addressed them. Using gentle touch techniques and muscle testing he was able to balance out my spine and treat other issues that have been bothering me for a while. The front desk staff is very friendly and professional, always greeting me with a smile. I would definitely recommend both Dr Johnson and Dr Dodge. They are great!

Treatment was prompt. Kris is very friendly and professional. He gets to know you as a person as well as what your presenting symptoms are. I have been seeing him for a year and been highly satisfied. He goes above and beyond the basics and will try to help resolve any underlying issues that are causing the problem. I always walk out feeling much better then when I walked in. I tend to have chronic low back and hip pain which is my main reason for seeing him but sometimes I have additional issues like leg cramping or painful thumb pads because of arthritis. He is always willing to address these

Dr. Kristen is different from other chiropractors. When you visit Life in Balance, It's never a routine of the same 3 adjustments each time, nor do they expect you to come in 2 to 3 times a week unless absolutely necessary. He spends quality time with his patients, getting to know them and their challenges. He finds the problem areas and makes adjustments accordingly. His Gentle, caring approach is like a breath of fresh air! Excellent Chiropractic care, treatment, and therapy!

I have been going to Dr. Dodge and Dr. Johnson's office since April of this year. I have to say I cannot thank Dr. Dodge enough. I have dealt with chronic headaches and pain for quite a long time and since I have been going there my headaches have gone from an every day occurrence to a once a month or less. This past weekend I dealt with a headache for a few days and today I went in and she did her magic and now I can feel it going away. I highly recommend them and can't wait for my next visit. They are a great team and are so friendly. Plus, their dog Ella is a sweetheart and my boys love to visit
