WHAT INSPIRED DR. KRAUSE?


Dr. Krause was in a head on collision and a rollover car accident before the age of 12.  He was unfortunately an unbelted passenger in both accidents.  In each of the accidents no one was severely injured and recovery seemed quick.  As a teenager, Dr. Krause suffered an injury to his lower back playing high school basketball.

He was referred to the only chiropractor in the small town in eastern Washington where he grew up and X-rays showed prior injury to Dr. Krause’s spine from the automobile accidents he was in as a child.  The chiropractor explained how the injuries from the automobile accidents never healed properly from not treating them and how that caused problems and spinal changes over the years.  Even though it appeared that everyone was okay from the automobile accidents, the chiropractor explained that the spinal changes were beginning to take their toll.  He outlined a treatment plan of chiropractic adjustments and after a series of adjustments the lower back pain settled down and Dr. Krause was back to his normal routine after a few weeks.  He has continued his chiropractic care being a regular chiropractic patient since the age of 17.


While in chiropractic school, Dr. Krause met and started treating alongside Dr. Vern Pierce. Dr. Pierce had developed a chiropractic adjusting style that resonated with Dr. Krause.  He began to use that technique while in student clinic with great success and continuted to refine the method over the past 25 years to obtain  exceptional results as a modern chiropractor in Kirkland.


Today, Dr. Krause cares for people of all ages with a variety of health conditions and enjoys teaching his patients and the public about health and wellness. When not in the office, Dr. Krause can often be found working on cars, traveling and spending time with his family. He lives in Kirkland, WA.

4 Signs that You Should Schedule an Appointment with the Chiropractor

By Better Back and Body • 15 Apr, 2024
In our fast-paced world, we often brush off minor aches and pains as part of daily life, not realizing that they could indicate underlying issues that need attention. While many people turn to traditional medicine for relief, chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to health that focuses on the body's natural ability to heal itself. At Better Back and Body, we provide expert chiropractic care in the greater Kirkland area. Here are four signs that you should see a chiropractor. Limited Range of Motion Difficulty moving your neck, back, or limbs as freely as you used to could indicate joint restrictions or muscle tightness. Chiropractors can perform adjustments to improve joint mobility and restore range of motion. By addressing these limitations early on, you can prevent them from worsening and maintain optimal function. Persistent Pain If you're experiencing persistent pain—especially in your back, neck, or joints—it could be a sign of misalignment or dysfunction in the spine. Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues, offering adjustments to realign the spine and alleviate pain. Ignoring persistent pain can lead to further complications, so it's important to address it promptly. Headaches Chronic headaches can significantly impact your quality of life and may be linked to issues such as tension in the neck or misalignment in the spine. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate tension and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. Rather than relying solely on pain medication to manage symptoms, chiropractic care aims to address the root cause of the problem. Posture Issues Poor posture is becoming increasingly common in today's digital age, where many of us spend hours hunched over computers. Over the years, poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal imbalances and discomfort. At Better Back and Body, we can assess your posture and provide corrective exercises and adjustments to realign your spine and improve posture.

4 Great Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor

By Better Back and Body • 14 Mar, 2024
While chiropractic care is best-known for alleviating back pain, it offers a host of additional benefits. At Better Back and Body, we provide expert chiropractic care in the greater Kirkland, WA area. We’ll listen to your specific concerns and tailor the treatment accordingly to optimize the benefits of the care. Here’s a look at four advantages of seeing a chiropractor. Pain Relief and Improved Mobility One of the primary reasons individuals seek chiropractic care is to address musculoskeletal pain, especially in the back and neck. Chiropractors use manual adjustments to realign the spine, promoting better posture and reducing pressure on nerves. This aids in pain relief and can also enhance overall mobility. Patients often gain increased flexibility and a greater range of motion after chiropractic sessions, making it an effective way to improve your quality of life. Better Posture and Preventive Care Modern lifestyles often involve prolonged periods of sitting, leading to poor posture and related health issues. Chiropractors not only treat existing problems, but also focus on preventive care. Through spinal adjustments and posture correction techniques, chiropractic care helps individuals maintain better alignment and prevent future issues. This proactive approach is particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours at desks or engage in repetitive activities that can contribute to musculoskeletal problems. Stress Reduction and Mental Well-Being Beyond physical ailments, chiropractic care has been linked to stress reduction and improved mental well-being. The spine plays a crucial role in housing the central nervous system, which regulates various bodily functions, including stress responses. Misalignments in the spine can negatively impact this system. Chiropractors work to restore proper alignment, helping to alleviate tension and promote a more balanced nervous system. This could potentially help you with reducing stress. Drug-Free Pain Management Chiropractic care provides a drug-free alternative for pain management. Rather than relying on medication to mask symptoms, chiropractors target the root cause of pain by addressing spinal misalignments and promoting natural healing. And in an era where pain medication has wreaked havoc on countless lives, drug-free pain management has become an increasingly appealing way to avoid the risk of addiction.

4 Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor after a Car Accident

By Better Back and Body • 15 Feb, 2024
Car accidents can have a profound impact on your physical well-being, often leading to a range of musculoskeletal injuries. While seeking emergency medical attention is crucial in many instances, people often overlook the benefits of chiropractic care in the aftermath of a collision. Chiropractors specialize in addressing injuries related to the spine and nervous system, offering holistic and non-invasive approaches to healing. At Better Back and Body, our local chiropractor’s office provides expert auto injury therapy in the greater Kirkland, WA area. Here are four benefits of going to a chiropractor following a car accident. Early Detection and Treatment of Injuries After a car accident, some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash, can take hours or even days to present symptoms. By consulting a chiropractor promptly, you increase the chances of early detection and intervention. Chiropractors are trained to assess the spine and musculoskeletal system, identifying subtle injuries that might go unnoticed by other healthcare providers. Pain Relief Without Medication Chiropractic care focuses on natural healing methods, emphasizing manual adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine. This approach can provide effective pain relief without the need for medications that may have side effects or lead to dependency. Chiropractors use targeted adjustments to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote the body's natural healing processes. Restoration of Range of Motion Injuries sustained in a car accident can restrict your range of motion and lead to stiffness in the joints. Chiropractors employ various techniques to restore flexibility and mobility. By addressing misalignments and improving joint function, chiropractic care can help you regain your range of motion and enhance overall physical performance. Prevent Long-Term Complications Ignoring injuries after a car accident may result in long-term complications such as chronic pain, reduced mobility, and increased susceptibility to future injuries. Chiropractors not only focus on relieving immediate pain but also work towards preventing long-term issues. By addressing the root cause of injuries and promoting proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care contributes to overall well-being and decreases the risk of ongoing problems.
