Introducing Mill Creek Chiropractor Dr. David Gilbertson

Mill Creek Chiropractor, Dr. David Gilbertson

“I've been under chiropractic care since I was about 14 years old” remembers Dr. David Gilbertson.  “My parents and two older sisters went to the chiropractor and when I had a wrestling injury that left me with pain and numbness in the right arm my parents made an appointment to see Dr. John Rasmussen, our family chiropractor.”

"It was mid-season so getting well rather soon was very important.  I responded very well to the care and within a short time was feeling back to normal.  After that when I had problems I would go see Dr. Rasmussen."

Dr. Gilbertson began his pre-chiropractic education at ECC, where he studied the basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, biology, chemistry, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses.

After completing his study there, he was accepted at Palmer College of chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.  During his four years at Palmer, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, x-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College public clinic.  After graduating in 1981, Dr. Gilbertson returned to Washington State where he initially interned with a doctor north of Marysville.  In 1984 he relocated to Mill Creek and established his current practice.

"Having been a patient, I understand the concerns and questions that many people have when they come to the chiropractor for the first time.  We make a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to make sure we cover everything the patient could be thinking about or be concerned about.  Patients appreciate that."

Dr. Gilbertson is married to Marilyn and they have three children, Brandon, Jonny and Mykayla.  The youngest child was actually born at home and the children have all had preventative chiropractic care from the time they were very young.  As a result, they have required very little medical care over the years and have experienced very good overall health.

"Thank you for visiting our site.  I hope it can be a source of hope and healing.  If you have any questions, please call me or click on the E-mail the Doctor at the bottom of every page."

Dr. David  Asks some important questions of interest to Mill Creek residents - Chiropractor Mill Creek Dr. David Asks...

What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Mill Creek patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
How do most people deal with vertebral subluxation complexes?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Mill Creek chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
