If you have back pain, neck pain, or even pain involving your arms or legs, chiropractic adjustments will likely make a difference for you. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pain and create proper movement of the spine and joints of the body. Adjusting is an extremely safe, non-invasive method of treating injuries and stiffness and restore proper function.
If you have either chronic tightness or tendon injuries such as tennis elbow, Graston Technique is likely an important part of the solution to your pain. Graston is considered the gold standard of a type of treatment known as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM). Treatment involves use of a hand-held metal instrument that the doctor uses to treat an area of soft tissue with the goal of relieving fascial restrictions and adhesions.
As part of chiropractic treatment plans, Dr. Jaffer Barlas often teaches and recommends a specific, short set of exercises that will complement other procedures in your treatment plan and improve your outcome. Prior to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic and attaining his Master of Science in Exercise and Sports Science degree, Dr. Jaffer Barlas spent seven years working with numerous clients as a full-time personal trainer.
Patients always leave my office feeling better than when they entered. Adjusting should feel good, and ART should feel like a great release of pain. Sometimes with adjusting, we are repositioning joints and ligaments that have been stuck in a position for a long time, so there can be a brief moment of increased sensitivity.
I was very impressed with Dr. Jaffer Barlas's work. I have had several injuries and was born with my hips out of my socket and he really did a great job putting me back together. I got a lot of release out of his services and I highly recommend him. After I started seen Dr. Jaffer Barlas I have been recommending him to everyone I know.

I started receiving chiropractic care in the mid-90’s after a back injury in my teens. I found a chiropractor who changed my life. Eventually she retired and I have never been able to find another chiropractor that I felt comfortable with. I decided to give Dr. Barlas a try based on his outstanding reviews. He has exceeded my expectations in every way. I drive there from Marysville, sometimes twice a week, and it is totally worth it. The progress I’ve had in reduction of chronic pain and range of motion are incredible. I also appreciate that he uses soft tissue techniques in addition to just

I found Dr. Barlas via ZocDoc and was pleasantly surprised. I have a multitude of issues that he took on and I started feeling better after just a few sessions. He gives very thorough explanations and takes time to demonstrate any prescribed exercises, making sure that I understand them. The office is clean and spacious and the staff is friendly and patient. I cannot recommend enough!

Since becoming my Chiropractor, Dr. Barlas has been committed to helping me stay mobile by using ART and Graston to unlock my trouble spots. Dr. Barlas isn't just a quick adjustment and you're out the door kind of Dr. In fact, he will spend a little extra time to show you some techniques to work on at home so that your trouble spots become less troublesome.
Dr. Barlas has helped me keep moving as my job has become more sedentary. As I age and aim to keep active he works to make sure I am still able to play soccer, climb mountains, bike and work out to my best ability.

I really appreciate the quality of care I receive here. Dr. Barlas is thorough and respectful. He is never dismissive of my concerns, and has an extensive set of treatment options to address issues I haven’t seen at other chiropractors, including tissue work that is amazingly effective. Everything is always sanitary, he and his staff are friendly, and it’s easy to find/ park. I highly recommend to anyone needing a chiropractor.

I have been a patient of Dr Barlas for several years. I consider a trip to his office to be an essential part of my self-care routine, whether its for a quarterly visit or an urgent need address a specific area. I've been so impressed by the impact of active release and graston techniques, used in combination with typical chiropractic adjustments. He really does care about creating individualized care. I constantly recommend Dr Barlas to my friends or collegues, especially those who may be hesitant to try out a chiropractor.

I've been seeing Dr. Barlas for about a year -- my husband has been a patient of his for the past couple of years and highly recommended him to me. Being a mom of two toddlers, I experienced quite a lot of neck pain from holding the kids/nursing. Dr. Barlas has been helping me alleviate the neck pain through his techniques. He takes time to create individualized care and the full half hour with the adjustments/active release. We go every other week for our treatments and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor in the area!

I had been seeing the same chiropractor for years but decided it was time for a change and I wanted to find something closer to work for scheduling convenience. I am SO happy that I found Dr. Barlas and he’s walking distance to my office. His techniques go far beyond what my previous chiropractor did which have resulted in better body function and less pain for me. I feel like he truly cares and dedicates a full half hour in a private room to treatment. His staff and family are very nice and he has a super cute dog! I highly recommend him!

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Barlas and his chiropractic practice. He is very knowledgeable and his philosophy on exercise and injury prevention resonates with me as I am an avid fitness enthusiast. I was recovering slowly from a debilitating lower back injury that happened a few weeks ago. Within a few minutes he knew exactly what was wrong with me, and proceeded with spinal alignment and deep tissue work that healed me back to 90% in a WEEK. I had been injured for 2 months so it felt like a miracle to get back to normal so quickly. He also gave me tons of helpful advice on prevention

As a massage therapist, I can tell the difference in quality of care, skill, and knowledge. Dr B is 5 stars in all of these catagories, with a bonus of making me feel comfortable and open to healing, which has always been a challenge for me. Dr. Barlas had aided me in several injuries. I send all my clients to him. Thank you Dr. B.

I was referred to Dr. Barlas after throwing my back out at the gym recently. And by "throwing my back out", I mean I planned on the usual 1-2 weeks of pain killers and bed rest, compression wrap and wearing only shoes I could slip on without bending down. When I left Dr. Barlas' office one hour later, my back was pain-free, and my neck, which I did not know could be released from 15 years of stress and rigidity, felt unlocked, light and flexible!

I was referred to Barlas Chiropractic by my personal trainer because treating sports-related injury, particularly the knees, is among their specialties. Over the course of a few treatment sessions the aches and pains that have plagued me for months are dramatically better when nothing else I tried helped.
I highly recommend Barlas Chiropractic. The practice is well run, friendly, and most of all effective. Beyond experiencing less pain I like Barlas Chiropractic because the office dog, Albus Dumble-dog, makes office visits a joy.

I've always been skeptical of Chiropractors and at this point I wouldn't even consider seeing anyone but Jaffer. He has a long history as a former Personal Trainer, corrective exercise specialist before he became a back cracker. He's continued into active release therapy and incorporates some other methods into his practice. Long story short, he's the most over qualified therapist I know. He's fixed my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu shoulder injuries, has helped me significantly with tennis elbow, and so I am completely confident that when I refer my clients to him (I'm a

Dr. Barlas is a miracle worker. He has a great background as an athlete and former massage therapist. He truly understands the entire body and how it should work. He is extremely thorough and I appreciate the recovery he has helped me achieve. Also they take most insurance and will help facilitate the process.

I have been a patient of Jaffer for many years. Thank goodness I found him. I highly recommend Jaffer for your chiropractic needs. I have back and neck issues and have seen various doctors over years but he has been the best by far. He not only gives you the standard adjustments that you would expect, but also uses active release technique, and a physical therapy approach that I have never received elsewhere. I like that he takes the time to understand your pains, he is thorough with his explanations, and excellent recommendations on how to prevent future injuries. He is the only Dr. that I look

I tried a new chiropractor today. My neck has been in SO much pain the past few days. Even a great massage wasn't able to put much of a dent in it. I knew there was more to it. I couldn't get across town to my usual chiro so I tried the one who recently moved into the building where my office is. Dr. Barlas is wonderful. He believes in really taking time with his patients. My neck was pretty out of whack but was so tight it couldn't adjust much. He did a few assessments and release techniques and was then able to do some gentle adjustments that got my joints to move.
