Emerald City Spinal Care

About Emerald City Spinal Care Dr. Christine Zapata founded Emerald City Spinal Care. Dr. Zapata, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, was first exposed to chiropractic care after sustaining a series of concussions from sports that resulted in severe back pain and migraines. She experienced a dramatic improvement in her health within a short period. Dr. Zapata attended San Diego State University in California for her undergraduate studies before deciding to pursue a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West. She was so impressed with how chiropractic care transformed her life that she found it easy to choose a career in it. She graduated in 2007 and went on to practice in San Francisco for two years before moving to Seattle, where she has been practicing since 2009. Dr. Zapata is enthusiastic about assisting those with chronic conditions in regaining their health and maintaining it, as well as expanding the number of people she can reach through the development and training of other chiropractic doctors. She lives with her husband, cat and dog in Seattle, where she enjoys the outdoors, playing piano and camping. Dr. Van, a San Diego native, was born and raised in San Diego. She has always been intrigued by people and the human body and made up her mind to pursue a career that allowed her to combine these interests from an early age. when a child, Dr. Van was involved in accidents on the road and a playground and had sustained severe head injuries. This made her chronic pain-free, anxious, and with no focus. She realized the benefits of specific cervical care on her health and knew that it was what she was going to do. After completing her undergraduate studies at San Diego State University, Dr. Van pursued a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life West Chiropractic College West. In 2020, she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Dr. Van is passionate about helping pregnant moms and women who are driven by their careers navigate chronic health problems and empower them to succeed in their lives. Outside of chiropractic, Dr. Van loves to hike, work out, cook, practice modern calligraphy, and jam on her guitar.

Emerald City Spinal Care, particularly Dr. Van and Dr. Zapata, has garnered a chorus of praise from its clients. After a friend referred me, I went in for my first appointment. Dr. Van is amazing and the rest of the team is also super. You will have a proactive partner in Dr. Van, who pays attention and is very knowledgeable. They work hard to accommodate your schedule. I went in for my evaluation and have had nothing but a positive experience. I felt relieved that my spine was taken care of by a specialist of Dr. Van's skill. My suffering has been significantly alleviated, and in a mere few days I had excellent results. A lot of people do not believe in chiropractors, but their efforts work. Dr. Van communicates well and gives me their undivided attention and my lines of communications about my health are open. We look forward to seeing the team again and again to ensure that our family life remains pain-free. The staff are all stars. I have never gone into the office when no one came to talk to me. They are caring and supportive of me and my family's efforts to achieve good health. The place is very clean, odorless and welcoming. Dr. Van continues to work her magic on my spine and my quality of life has increased. I tell anyone who has discomfort or any other body problems to see this provider. It is the best part of my one week because it allows me to heal in ways that do not involve drugs. The adjustments are painless but make my body relax and breath again. Client care is an example of real client service. When I send them a message, it is answered immediately. I see significant differences every time I go to see Dr. Van. The best part of my day is having my friend waiting to see Dr. Van to help me. The little things that mean a lot. The massage therapist is attentive to me and makes me feel like things are going in the right direction. I appreciate the times I am shown how to take my health into my own hands. I have been able to learn new ways to improve my situation thanks to the pointers and videos I have received. I loved taking my time and watching all the videos thinking about how I can change my life. It is reassuring to come away knowing that I have been equipped with tools to use in my everyday life. The office is pleasant and bright and full of energy. I am surrounded by children's pictures, a photograph of a superhero cutout and a big fish tank. I know that someone has put out a welcome sign to see me. The chairs are just relaxation chairs and I use them all the time. No more back pain or real pain for that matter. I know that the staff are working hard to make sure that I feel 100% every day. I am now able to live each day to the fullest. That is a promise l can make to them. I feel l am more productive and do not have to worry about what I will do every day. I have learned safe lifting and proper form. The receptionist was nice and greeted me every day. Always has a smile. The office is between a gym and a pizza place. I would tell anyone who could cause pain to invest in their health. Chiropractic care is a physical therapy choice that is trending today for me and my family.
