More and more, people are realizing that good spinal balance and optimal nerve function are important elements of health. These people know that being structurally balanced can create better health and even prevent illness and disease. They have their children checked periodically because they know spinal integrity is an important part of growth and development.
The NUCCA upper cervical method of spinal care and body balance is unique among chiropractic methods, and Dr. Lapenski and Advanced Spinal Care are unique among chiropractic practices throughout Washington and the nation. Our goal is to correct and stabilize each patient's misalignment and empower them to optimize their healing and symptomatic picture.
Although it might seem that carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition born from long hours spent working on a computer keyboard, carpal tunnel syndrome actually has numerous causes.some of which have very little to do with the wrist! Bounded by bones and ligaments, the carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway - about as big around as your thumb - located on the palm side of your wrist.

I'm 67 years old. I have been a patient of Dr. Craig's for close to 20 years. I was experiencing a lot of neck and upper shoulder pain from a previous motorcycle accident, injuries while in the Army, along with acid reflux. My primary doctor had prescribed pills to "relieve" the pain and acid reflux. Not wanting to get on any medicine I went to Dr. Craig and nearly 20 years later I'm still medicine free. The neck pain occasionally comes back but a quick visit to Dr. Craig and I'm good. Acid refluz is gone.
I was very skeptical after my first treatment as the actual procedure is really non invasive

I had chronic neck pain and very limited range of motion and found it impossible to work or sleep without taking ibuprofen day and night. This pain wasn't from any injury I could remember. After the first visit with Dr. Landholm I gained range of motion and my pain was reduced. I now do things I hadn't realized I couldn't do before. I looked out the back window of my car and surprised myself when I did. I hadn't done that in years. I couldn't do that before Advanced Spinal Care. I no longer eat Ibuprofen just to sleep or watch TV. Thank you for giving my quality of life back. I tell everyone i

I was diagnosed with MS in 2005 .Tried the usual suggested treatments of Copaxne and Rebif. Did little to help .The side effects were worst then the MS. I heard of nucca technique helping people with MS. Was lucky to find Advanced Spinal Care right in my back yard.Their are only a few Chiropractors that speacilizes in nucca technique. Dr. Lapenski has been treating me for several years.I have been able to keep my MS in check,along with some other life style changes and the continue support from Dr. Lapenski nucca Chiropratic services .I look forward to a healthy happier life with MS.

П🏼Everyone needs NUCCA🙌🏼
I discovered NUCCA when I’d all but given up on finding a solution to my chronic pain. I broke my neck in a traumatic accident when I was just 16 and have had pain for 11 years until I met Dr. Landholm.
I had varying degrees of pain in my neck, low back, right hip, and left knee from my body trying to compensate for my misalignment. But this compensation happens in so many individuals and not just from big trauma like I had.
I tried everything before NUCCA—Meds, PT, yoga, regular chiropractor, massage, TENS, mindfulness—you name it! They all helped

My sister, brother, and sister-in-law all see Dr. Lapenski. They all have been so happy with their care. I have seen chiropractors for years and would feel okay for a day or two after an adjustment with them and then I'd be in pain again. That hasn't been my experience at all with the care I've gotten so far with Dr. Lapenski. I feel that every day I get better. My hip and back pain are minimal right now. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lapenski and Advanced Spinal Care!

I have had migraine headaches for as long as I can remember. Fifty-five (55) years of pain and suffering kept me from doing daily activities. No traditional Chiropractor could eliminate my Migraines, no matter what they tried, and I was adjusted at least 3 to 4 times a week. I consumed bottles, and bottles, of Tylenol pain medication, to try and help alleviate the pain and despair of my migraine headaches despite the risk of liver damage from the Tylenol. Thankfully, I found a Chiropractor located in Washington State who introduced me to NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association)

I have literally had neck pain and migraines since since high school, 38 some odd years. I heard an add on the radio while stopped @ a stop sign, stating 'pain free chiropractic with a Nucca doctor'. I gotta say I was like 'what?' I literally had weekly migraines for days on end, and weather related migraines. I had tried SO many different treatments & pills that I finally got to the point of I needing to do something different. That is where that add got me to check out Advanced Spinal Care & call for a consultation. I cannot believe I had never heard of it before & want to say Thank you for that

I came to Advanced Spinal care as a last effort to try and relieve my ongoing neck pain I’ve struggled with for years. I spent my entire life going to traditional chiropractors that were not much help getting me to a place where I could be out of discomfort for a long period of time. It’s been a full year since going to Dr. Lapenski and I can honestly say that my pain is less and less and I’m able to live my life with much less neck pain then I ever have. The doctors at this office really understand the cervical spine like no other chiropractor and I would highly recommend them to others

Dr. Lapenski and his team at Advanced Spinal Care is the best. My wife was recommended to go see him and with his help, she is not only standing straight again, but her blood pressure is normal, and her back pain is gone, plus her sinus issues have greatly improved and there was no popping! She was worried about seeing a chiropractor due to seeing everyone get popped but this alignment was done with such precision and detail that she didn’t hesitate to get her next appointment! Thank you!

Dr. Lapenski was a manipulative bully. I was not informed up front about the REQUIRED commitment of 26 appointments and over $3000. Even after I had paid for the initial two adjustments he refused to treat me because I'd be moving and switching to a new provider soon. I was disrespected. His practices are unethical and greedy.
