Dr. Tim Igielski, DC
Founder of Premier Chiropractic PLLC
Dr. Tim Igielski's path to chiropractic care began with a passion for healing people. A graduate of Auburn Senior High School, Dr. Tim initially set his sights on dentistry before discovering a deeper calling rooted in his fascination with chemical biology and how the body functions at its core. This curiosity led him to the University of Washington and later to Western States Chiropractic College, where his passion for chiropractic medicine truly took shape.
After graduating, Dr. Tim honed his skills under the mentorship of Dr. Delevingne at the Spinal Center in Tukwila. When the opportunity arose to purchase the practice, he did — launching Airport Chiropractic in Tukwila in 1989. As his reputation and patient base grew, he relocated to SeaTac on International Blvd, the home of Premier Chiropractic PLLC to this day.
Over the years, Premier Chiropractic expanded to as many as 10 locations across the greater Seattle area, stretching from Tacoma to North Seattle and east to Redmond and Bellevue. After thoughtful reflection, Dr. Tim made the decision to consolidate back to a single clinic — ensuring that every patient receives the highest quality of individualized care.
With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Tim's philosophy is simple: he doesn't just want to relieve your pain during treatment — he wants to restore you to lasting, optimal health long after your care is complete.
Chiropractic Adjustments
The Gonstead System is one of the most precise and thorough methods of chiropractic analysis and adjustment available today. Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead in the 1920s, this highly specific technique goes far beyond general spinal manipulation by identifying the exact vertebrae or joints that are out of alignment — known as subluxations — and addressing only those specific problem areas.
What sets the Gonstead method apart is its commitment to a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment of each patient. A cornerstone of this approach is the use of full-spine X-rays, which allow our chiropractor to visualize the entire structure of your spine in detail, identifying misalignments, changes in disc health, and postural imbalances that may not be detectable through physical examination alone. Rather than applying a generalized adjustment to the whole spine, the Gonstead technique uses the information gathered from X-rays alongside other diagnostic tools — including instrumentation, static and motion palpation, and visualization — to build a complete picture of your spinal health.
This means that when an adjustment is made, it is delivered to precisely the right vertebra, at the right angle, with the right amount of force — and nowhere else. This targeted, specific approach minimizes unnecessary manipulation, reduces recovery time, and produces more effective and lasting results. At Premier Chiropractic, we are proud to offer Gonstead chiropractic care as a reflection of our commitment to treating you as an individual, not just a set of symptoms.
Massage Therapy & Body Work
Massage therapy serves as a critical clinical modality for enhancing whole-body physiological function and facilitating structural recovery. By targeted reduction of hypertonic muscle tension and significant improvement in peripheral circulation, these treatments optimize the metabolic environment necessary for tissue repair. When integrated synergistically with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy stabilizes joint mobilization, promotes sustained spinal alignment, and addresses the neurological components of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Furthermore, therapeutic touch is an essential tool in clinical recovery to facilitate the release of somatized emotional stress and chronic tension patterns often sequestered within the fascia following traumatic injury or prolonged pain. This comprehensive approach ensures deep-tier resolution for both physiological pathologies and the emotional impact of trauma, supporting a holistic trajectory toward complete physical and emotional restoration.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment designed to gently stretch the spine, relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. By creating negative pressure within the disc, this therapy promotes the retraction of bulging or herniated disc material, allowing nutrients and oxygen to flow back into the affected area to support natural healing.
This gentle approach is highly effective for those dealing with chronic back or neck pain, sciatica, and disc-related injuries. Our goal is to help you reduce discomfort and regain mobility, allowing you to move more easily and return to the activities you love.
