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 General Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Appointments

By Better Back and Body • December 17, 2024
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to improving overall health and wellness. While many people seek out chiropractic adjustments for back pain, the benefits go far beyond spinal health. Regular visits to a chiropractor can positively impact various aspects of your physical and mental well-being. At Better Back and Body, we provide expert chiropractic care in the greater Kirkland, WA area. Here are four benefits of making chiropractic care a part of your routine. Enhanced Posture and Spinal Alignment In today’s digital age, poor posture is a common issue. Whether it’s due to long hours spent sitting at a desk or constantly looking down at a phone, spinal misalignment often develops over time. Regular chiropractic adjustments can correct these misalignments, helping you achieve and maintain proper posture. Improved posture reduces strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, leading to a healthier spine and fewer posture-related issues. Effective Pain Management Chronic pain can significantly impact your quality of life. Through spinal adjustments and other manual techniques, chiropractors target the source of the pain rather than merely masking the symptoms. This natural, drug-free approach to pain management provides lasting relief, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle. Increased Mobility and Flexibility As we age, joint stiffness and reduced flexibility become common challenges. Chiropractic care helps maintain and even improve your range of motion by better enabling your joints, muscles, and ligaments to function properly. Routine adjustments keep your body flexible and mobile, which is essential for maintaining an active lifestyle. Whether you’re an athlete or simply looking to stay agile, chiropractic care can help you move more freely and with less discomfort. Reduced Stress and Tension Stress affects the body in various ways, often manifesting as muscle tension, headaches, and fatigue. Chiropractic care can help alleviate the physical effects of stress by releasing tension from the muscles and realigning the spine. You may notice a sense of calm and reduced anxiety after your adjustments, making chiropractic care a helpful tool for managing everyday stress.

4 Quick Tips for Preventing Neck Pain

By Better Back and Body • November 18, 2024
Neck pain is a common issue that can disrupt daily life, affecting everything from work to sleep. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to help keep your neck healthy and pain-free. But if you are experiencing persistent neck pain, then you could benefit from seeing an experienced chiropractor. At Better Back and Body, we provide expert chiropractic care in the greater Kirkland, WA area. Here are four tips to help you prevent neck pain. Maintain Good Posture Poor posture is a leading cause of neck pain, especially for those who spend long hours at a desk. Keep your head aligned over your shoulders and avoid slouching. Try to sit upright with your back supported, and if you work on a computer, position the screen at eye level to prevent your head from tilting forward. Practicing good posture will reduce strain on your neck muscles and spine. Take Frequent Breaks Sitting for extended periods can cause tension in your neck and shoulders. To relieve this, take breaks every 30 minutes to stand up, stretch, and move around. A quick neck stretch or gentle shoulder roll can release built-up tension. These regular breaks not only prevent neck pain, but can also improve circulation and energy levels throughout the day. Sleep in a Supportive Position The position you sleep in can significantly affect neck health. You may benefit from sleeping on your side with a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. You might also consider investing in an orthopedic pillow that provides extra support for the neck and spine. Stay Active and Strengthen Neck Muscles Regular exercise helps improve posture, balance, and muscle strength, all of which protect the neck. Incorporate exercises that focus on your neck, shoulders, and upper back to create a solid foundation. Gentle neck stretches, shoulder shrugs, and resistance exercises are beneficial and can help stabilize your neck. Strong muscles are less likely to strain, reducing the risk of pain.

How You Can Benefit from Seeing a Chiropractor after a Car Accident

By Better Back and Body • October 15, 2024
Car accidents, even minor ones, can have a lasting impact on your body. Often, injuries like whiplash or soft tissue damage don’t show immediate symptoms, but they can lead to chronic pain if left untreated. This is where chiropractic care comes in. Visiting a chiropractor after a car accident can help you recover more fully and avoid long-term complications. At Better Back and Body, our local chiropractic office provides auto injury therapy in the greater Kirkland, WA area. Here are four benefits of chiropractic care following a car accident. Relieve Pain Naturally One of the biggest advantages of chiropractic care is its focus on natural pain relief without the use of medication. Chiropractic care uses manual adjustments, massage, and other non-invasive techniques to address the root causes of pain, such as misaligned joints or damaged soft tissues. These methods help reduce inflammation and promote healing, providing effective pain relief without relying on potentially addictive pain medications. Restore Range of Motion Car accidents often result in stiff joints and decreased mobility, particularly in the neck and back. This stiffness can hinder your day-to-day activities and slow down your overall recovery. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and restore normal range of motion to affected joints. With improved mobility, you’ll be able to resume your regular activities more quickly, which is essential for a full recovery. Prevent Long-Term Issues Injuries like whiplash, muscle sprains, and spinal misalignments can lead to long-term conditions if not properly treated. Seeing a chiropractor after a car accident helps address these injuries early on, preventing them from turning into lasting problems. Chiropractic care promotes faster healing by ensuring your body is properly aligned, which helps avoid complications like chronic back pain, headaches, or stiffness. Reduce Inflammation Even low-impact car accidents can cause micro-tears in muscles and ligaments, leading to inflammation. Inflammation can contribute to pain and prolong the healing process. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce inflammation by restoring proper alignment to the spine and improving blood circulation. With less inflammation, your body can experience less discomfort during recovery.
