Our Approach to Care
Philosophy & Approach
McCracken Chiropractic & Wellness Center is one of the most complete chiropractic facilities in the Seattle area. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, personalized care through a safe, healthy, and natural approach to medicine. Rather than simply treating the symptoms of pain, our focus is on correcting the underlying cause and helping your nervous system perform at its best.​ During your appointment, we will assess your body's specific needs and determine what will bring you the most relief.​
A Collaborative Approach to Care
Your initial appointment will be similar to a typical doctor's visit. We'll review your medical history, discuss what brought you to our office, and begin treatment—but that's just the beginning! Dr. McCracken provides education and personalized guidance on the causes and prevention of future issues, along with a comprehensive care plan. He'll explain both the benefits and limitations of chiropractic care and address any questions or concerns you may have. To support faster recovery and reduce muscle soreness, we integrate the Graston Technique and Recovery Pump as additional therapys.
Our office is a collaborative space shared with exceptional healthcare providers. Working together as a team, we offer patients comprehensive care options including physical therapy, massage therapy, naturopathic care, acupuncture, and Rolfing.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training
McCracken Chiropractic offers Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR) as a clinically guided approach to rehabilitation and strength development.
​
Our programs are built around proper movements, sound biomechanics, with an emphasis on form to develop strength, muscular endurance, and VOâ‚‚ max.
​
During BFR training, specialized cuffs are placed proximally on the arms, legs, or both, depending on the treatment plan. These cuffs partially restrict blood flow during exercise and rest periods and stimulates increased growth hormone production, allowing patients to build strength and promote healing while using significantly lighter loads.
​
BFR provides the benefits of high-intensity training without the risks associated with heavy lifting. Its low-load, high-effect nature makes it an effective rehabilitation tool that minimizes joint stress and reduces cardiovascular strain while supporting faster recovery.​​​​​
The Pain Cave: Rehab & Strength Training
​The Pain Cave is our dedicated rehab and performance training space designed for patients who want to move better, get stronger, and recover smarter. This is where clinical rehab meets structured training.
Whether you're recovering from injury, rebuilding strength, or transitioning from rehab to performance, the Pain Cave is a controlled, results-driven setting that supports safe progress without unnecessary wear on the body.
