Seattle Chiropractor Helps You Heal Naturally

A Seattle Chiropractor Who Actually Listens

A lot of patients tell us they felt rushed elsewhere, or like they were pushed through the same routine as everyone else. Dr. Folweiler does the opposite. He listens carefully and makes sure he understands you—and what will actually help—before any care begins.

If you've ever felt dismissed or uncomfortable in a healthcare setting, you're not alone. Dr. Folweiler and his staff work to create a welcoming, low-pressure environment where you can ask questions, set the pace, and never be pushed into care you don't want.

Meet Dr. David Folweiler

Dr. Folweiler started his career as an engineer before switching to chiropractic in the 1990s—because he wanted work that helped people directly, not abstractly. He's been in private practice since 1994 and at the same Northgate location since 2001.

He holds a Diplomate in Rehabilitation, an advanced credential focused on movement, exercise, and active recovery—which means he's especially equipped to help patients get back to the activities that matter to them. Over thirty years in, he still looks forward to each visit—because every patient is a unique puzzle, and the reward is watching someone walk out feeling better than they walked in.

Services To Support How You Move

Care at Folweiler Chiropractic is hands-on, traditional chiropractic with a strong rehabilitation focus. Common tools and techniques include:

-Spinal adjusting
-Extremity work (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, wrists)
-Flexion-distraction for gentle spinal decompression
-Graston technique for tight or scarred soft tissue 


Dr. Folweiler sees everyday neck and back concerns, auto accident and whiplash cases, and provides second-opinion evaluations for workers' compensation claims. A trusted massage therapist is also on-site for soft-tissue work that can complement your care.


What To Expect And How To Get Started

New patients are usually seen the same day or within one business day. At your first appointment, you'll talk with Dr. Folweiler about what you've been dealing with, he'll perform an exam, and explain what he finds in plain language. If it feels like the right next step for both of you, you'll receive a full adjustment that day.
