Exceptional Seattle chiropractors – enabling you to live the life you want

I can’t overstate how life-changing my experience with Dr. Darling and Von at Tangelo in West Seattle has been. For the past few years, I’ve dealt with persistent lower back and hip pain that gradually began to affect my quality of life. I tried massage, cupping, and acupuncture, but the relief never lasts. I also worked with two different physical therapists, but the stretches and exercises I was given didn’t lead real improvement. I started to lose hope that things would get better.

A friend recommended trying Active Release Techniques (ART), which led me to Tangelo. I was initially skeptical, but that changed during my first visit. The diagnostic process was far more thorough than anything I had experienced before, and I felt optimistic that this *might* be different.

Dr. Darling and Von created a highly effective, personalized treatment plan focused on identifying and addressing the root cause of my pain. Their approach combines cupping, scraping, massage, stretching, and adjustments, along with targeted strength and stability exercises. What stood out most was their understanding that my pain wasn’t the same everyday—and that treatment and exercises shouldn’t be either. That flexibility made a huge difference.

After just two months, my pain has almost completely gone away. For the first time in years, my back and hips feel relaxed and strong. I truly can’t recommend Tangelo enough.
