Orcas Island Chiropractor

Chiropractic

The VEC team and I have served the Seattle, WA community for over 21 years. Our historic Craftsman house in the North Capitol Hill neighborhood was built in 1904 and served as both our home and The Vital Energy Center-Integrative healthcare office. The VEC was a sanctuary, set apart from the bustling and rapidly growing city just outside our doors. People came from across the PNW for patient-focused, compassionate and clinically effective healthcare. Our one-of-a-kind health center has been home to so many meaningful events, life-changing adjustments, miraculous healing, weddings, birthdays, art openings, and holiday dinners galore. In June 2020, after 2 decades practicing in Seattle, we made the bittersweet decision to leave and move to Orcas Island full-time to pursue a more nature-centric lifestyle..

Patient Success Stories

Kind, Caring Chiropractor

You can tell The Vital Energy Center is a special place right away. The care is excellent and Dr. Kohler is very attentive. Your initial consult is thorough, and you walk away with a very clear treatment plan.

Gentle and Effective

Dr. Kohler is what I refer to as a no-pain chiropractor. I was super hesitant to go see a chiropractor. But when my Pilates instructor suggested her chiro, I figured I should give it a go. By two days after my first adjustment, the pain had left my back.

Great local Chiropractor

We are lucky to have a gentle, caring chiropractor like Dr. Kohler’s in our neighborhood. And fortunate that we can walk there, receive top-notch chiropractic care, walk home, and relax. Join me in supporting a quality local business.

Jared was a huge help to me with a shoulder injury. The time and care provided was simply amazing. Jared takes time to explain the process and the importance of alignment. I was able to recover quickly with no pain. I tried physical therapy but it did not help at all for my issue. I highly recommended Jared to everyone no matter the issue or cause of your discomfort.

Dr Jared has an in-depth, acute understanding of the body and is extremely dedicated to his craft. We value his connection to the human experience and how he offers caring advice for ongoing support beyond sessions. Our family have been his clients since his arrival on the island and he has become an invaluable support person to us! Dr Jared is above and beyond your usual health care practitioner, we can not recommend him highly enough.

I have been to multiple chiropractor in the last 10 years and Jared is without a doubt the best chiropractor I have worked with. His approach is not the stereotypical "crack crack send you home" approach. He invests in his clients health and does a deep dive with them in the first session to educate them about what he can do and formulates a plan for you. I was having severe hip pain for months, having difficulty getting up, and sleep was a total joke. With in the first two weeks, I had significantly improved and now have no hip pain. Not only did I get a treatment, but stretches to incorporate into my daily routine. His treatments are very focused on where your body is in the moment and how to readjust. Thank you Jared! <3 Not only did you help me, but you have helped my husband have feeling in his hands for the first time in 4 years! We are blessed to have you here.

Jared is an outstanding chiropractor. I found his focused, compassionate care to be the very best I have experienced. The results are truly amazing. I have recommended Jared to family and friends who have had equally amazing results.

I have searched for a VERY long time to find a chiropractor that can actually help my very broken body in a noninvasive way. I have rib issues, thoracic spine issue, rapid heart rate issues and have suffered multiple concussions. I went into my first appointment with a frozen left shoulder and in tears with pain. I walked away from my first appointment with returned mobility to my shoulder and lowered heart rate. I am so extremely grateful to have found Jared and his practice. I could not recommend a better path to healing your body through his techniques, knowledge and experience.

Dr. Kohler is helping my body heal in a very significant way from chronic pain to clearing results from a past head injury. He is the most precise and knowledgeable practitioner I have seen in 45 years of going to a Chiropractor. He uses gentle methods to help me regain my body's natural healing cycles and gives me tools I can work on between visits. It's well worth the time and money it takes for me to travel from off Island to see him. I recommend him to anyone who needs help recovering from past injury, brain fog, body trauma, or chronic pain.

I’ve seen over a dozen doctors/physical therapist/spine specialist/chiropractors for neck/shoulder/back/hip/knee chronic pains in the last five years with zero success from any of them. After just 3 visits with Dr. Kohler and having my Atlas adjusted I am finally getting relief and feeling aligned. Literally crying tears of joy. So very grateful.

I love Dr Kohler and staff, and prefer paying out of pocket than using my insurance for their preferred providers.
