The vitalistic philosophy of chiropractic practice is very simple. We believe the body is a self-healing, self-regulating being. Thus we have a practice founded on vitalism: the idea that the goal of a good chiropractic office is to enable bodies to self-heal. Even the smallest misalignment of the vertebrae can have dramatic impact on overall comfort and health.
Subluxation is the word we use to discuss these minor misalignments that can have major impact on patients. If subluxation is the problem - the answer is to realign or adjust the vertebrae to promote optimal health, comfort, and happiness. That's where the team at Vital Family Chiropractic comes in.

Can you imagine a life free of daily aches, symptomatic allergies, migraines, and exhaustion? People are remarkably resilient, and our bodies are self-healing, self-regulating masterpieces. Each intricate piece of our body works together to produce a perfectly balanced system, but when that system is out of balance, we experience pain, illness, and mental unrest.
Dr. Julie Peterson and her skilled team are dedicated to helping patients achieve and maintain proper spinal alignment in order to reach the optimal level of whole body health. Many people believe that chiropractors are back doctors or that chiropractic care is only necessary to relieve pain, but chiropractic care is actually much more complex.
One way we help new Vital Family Chiropractic patients feel comfortable in our practice is by inviting them to tour the office from the comfort of home before they ever arrive. We're proud of our state-of-the-art, family-friendly practice, and we look forward to serving you and your family here. Take a few moments to explore our office below.
Before we begin a chiropractic care plan, it's essential that Dr. Julie Peterson and her team have a complete understanding of your concerns, any pain you're experiencing now or in the past, overall health, and chiropractic goals. We take the time to answer your questions, explain our practice philosophy, and allow you to be a full participant in your care planning process.
When patients visit Vital Family Chiropractic, they often have preconceived notions about what chiropractors do and who should visit them. In most cases people think we only treat patients who experience pain or traumatic injury, but many are surprised to hear that we offer a variety of effective healing options for kids, expectant mothers, athletes, and patients with chronic and systemic illness.

Best Chiropractic firm in town! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The staff is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Champagne are sweet, wholesome, down-to-earth people with God-like hands!
I have been pretty active for the last ten years and have had lower back pains since my mid 20s mainly because of weightlifting. After getting adjusted 3x a week at VFC for the past 3 months, my lower back pain has went away, my overall health has improved, and I've been able to exercise like I did back in my late teens/early 20s without worrying about having lower back pains. I feel like I'm 30

These guys are so much more than just a Chiropractors office in my humble opinion. Dr. Champagne and the staff genuinely care about everyone's health, not just their clients, and it reflects in their work. I received my first adjustment there 3 months ago; the results I've seen since then, inspired me to sign up for another 3 months! Could not thank them enough for the way in which they are helping me turn my health around. Thank you Vital Family Chiropractors Lakewood woot woot!

I went in to get an adjustment. Left with no adjustments and still in pain. The doctor came in did a quick exam and told me to ice my back and left the room.
The next day I went to The Joint Chiropractor in University Place. They were very friendly very professional. The doctor was nice, I did not feel like I was being rushed and I got an adjustment that day!!!🤗🤗🤗
I had a much better experience at The Joint Chiropractor

Dr. Peterson and Dr. Champagne are such wonderful chiropractors! From my first visit, I felt so comfortable with them. I had a couple, not so great experiences with chiropractors and was hesitant to try again. I had not been in over a year and was in desperate need of some help. I had been dealing with chronic pain for so long, and I am so pleased to say after just 7 weeks of treatments I am feeling some relief! I am so thankful I decided to come to Vital Family chiropractic. The staff is also really amazing! I am so grateful.
