Dr. Lindley is absolutely one of the best chiropractors I’ve been to. He’s incredibly friendly and professional. He explains everything he is doing, and is sensitive to my needs and comfort level. His office is clean and fresh. Thank you!

Jack is fantastic. He is knowledgeable and thorough in diagnosis, patient and generous in treatment. He has been effective for postural and wellness care, also with treatment for a neck issue with radiating nerve pain. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Jack for a couple of years now, and I would be lost without his incredible talent as a true healing chiropractor. I have gone to many cookie-cutter chiropractors, and it's the same every time. Jack is not this. His innate ability to listen to your body and know what is out of tune is amazing. He is excellent if you are in pain and need a quick fix or someone who will provide maintenance to ensure you are functioning at your best! You won't find a better chiropractor in the Gig Harbor area.

I really appreciated his honesty and great sense of humor—it made the experience so much more enjoyable!I walked away feeling like I had a new pep in my step! Feeling hopeful about my journey to better health. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a chiropractor who makes you feel at home!

Hello, I have been going to chiropractors for 50 years We moved to Gig harbor 7 years ago and I kept going back to my chiropractor in Kent 1 hr. drive each way and he was worth it However I tried three new chiropractors in the harbor, and they just didn't cut it.Then I found Dr JackWow young Doctor new ways of adjusting and he is very caring, and he cares about you. I sent a letter to my chiropractor in Kent about I found someone over in the Harbor. He was very happy for meSo, I highly recommend Lindley Chiropractic he is my new chiropractor.

I’ve been struggling with recurring discomfort involving my neck and lower back. The pain, at times, radiates all the way down to my foot. All (ever so annoyingly) affecting my quality of life.Through years of various, unsuccessful treatments, I’ve learned the long-term value of Chiropractic care, especially Dr. Jack Lindley. This doctor (unlike most) has a measured approach: He takes as much time to assess and discuss how my discomforts manifest (while noting any improvements or decline from one visit to the next). I appreciate that he always explains what he’s doing and why it’s necessary, which helps me feel confident in the treatment process. Also, notice his adjustments are carefully targeted; ensuring maximum relief without overstressing my body.I always walk out of Lindley Chiropractic Health with a big smile, feeling relieved and in control of my health. I highly recommend Dr. Jack Lindley.

Dr. Jack Lindley is the best! I sprained my ankle back on June 1st. Jack would adjust my hips to keep them in line from all the limping I have doing. Also getting red light therapy. Jack has been very gentle with adjusting my hips, legs and foot once a week then after I got done with my 5th adjustment I was able to go up and down my stairs with very little discomfort on my sprained ankle. Thank you!!!

I am very particular and very loyal to who I go to for my healthcare and my chiropractor retired and I was forced to find a new one!With that said, I am so glad he retired because I found Jack!This is a man that is very thorough very personable, very accessible, very responsive and absolutely cares about his patients.Clinic itself is very clean. Well put together. They just got a new massage table in there that feels amazing.If you have been a previous client at Fox chiropractic and did not like the new person that took over come see Jack he will do what they have not done.

Dr. Jack has treated my rotator cuff after numerous sports injuries. A combination of manipulation and laser treatment helped immensely. Jack is extremely professional and demonstrates the best chiropractic care. He gives that high quality personal treatment that you are always looking to get from a chiropractor. Thanks Dr. Jack.

Dr. Jack Lindley is a professional and thorough chiropractor who cares about his patients. He is attentive and conducts an individual assessment at each appointment, tailoring his intervention to meet the needs of the patient rather than using a one-size-fits all protocol. I'm learning so much from Dr. Jack. He is not only an excellent health provider, he is a valuable teacher. If I could give him 6 stars, I would! Patty Lee, Gig Harbor, WA

After one visit, head to toe I saw results.I’m all in for Dr Jack, he has the knack!

I was in great need of specialized chiropractic care when I came across Dr Lindley’s office. I made an appointment and met with Dr. Jack. He was able to review my intake forms, provide an initial patient evaluation and assessed my limited range of motion. Because I was in such dire need of adjustment, Dr Jack carefully explained our plan of corrective treatment and quickly went to work. Don’t wait too long to schedule your appointment like I did! Take the first step and reach out to Lindley Chiropractic today, I’m sure glad I did… Thank you for getting me on your schedule

Upon moving to Gig Harbor one of my top priorities was finding a great Chiropractor. I broke my back as a teen in a roll over car accident and have struggled with numerous back injuries over the years due to that accident. I tried several chiropractors in the area and none were able to provide me with long term relief until I found Lindley Chiropractic! I love that I can book my appointments online at my convenience and that they accept my insurance. Jack is great at what he does and talks through each adjustment with you making sure you are comfortable and have an understanding of what is about to happen. I would recommend Lindley Chiropractic to anyone!

I have received chiropractic care on and off for the past 20 years to help with an auto accident injury, to help with tension headaches, and most recently, a broken tailbone. A good friend referred me to Dr. Jack when I relocated to Gig Harbor from Seattle. I was so worried to establish care after seeing my previous chiropractor for 12 years (if you know, you know :) chiropractors are like therapists - when you find a good one you stay. At my first appointment I was really impressed with Dr. Jack's bedside manner, deep listening, and thorough evaluation that focused on the entire body. With each step of the evaluation, and every adjustment since, he gets my consent for each step and then checks in with me after each adjustment. I truly feel cared for and heard when I have an appointment with him. I would (and have) recommend Dr. Jack to family and friends. It takes a lot of trust to receive chiropractic care -- if this were my first chiropractic experience, I would have never known that. If you are in search of a provider that can help your body recoup some harmony and decrease chronic pain, this is the person to see!

BEST. CHIROPRACTOR. EVER!!! I fully trust Jack Lindley & only see him for my chiropractic care since my car accident. I'm walking and doing much better thanks to him! I was nervous when I first saw him, but he put my worries to ease! He's the only one I will let adjust my back & especially neck!! I've been seeing him 3x a week religiously since my car accident. Highly highly recommend!!

Dr. Lindley has changed my outlook on Chiropractic care!! I recently have been having low back pain from carrying my small children as well as neck pain. After the very first visit I noticed a significant decrease in my pain and improvement in my overall function. I also received a Laser Therapy session and holy cow that was so helpful! The laser and chiropractic care together have made such a significant difference! I am nearly pain free and continue to be treated regularly to keep up with my kids and our busy lives! Highly recommend Dr. Lindley to anyone who wants to try something completely different from any other Chiropractor and get very individualized care!

Dr. Jack is phenomenal. The attention to detail in his assessment and adjusting skills is far from any other chiropractor I have tried. It’s effective and I feel better every time. I’ve been struggling with TMJ pains and headaches for the past five years on and off and after adjusting my jaw and lasering those troublesome areas I get weeks of relief. THANK YOU! You’ve given me my sanity back

Highly recommend Dr Lindley for chiropractic care. He was skilled at getting to the root of my particular issues and I appreciated his thoughtful approach to care. He's an excellent communicator and was clear about the issues he found upon examination. He also communicated what he would be doing every step of the adjustment process. There were no surprises, no pain and I felt secure and well cared-for during my visit. Most importantly, I felt relief after he was done.Dr. Lindley employs the latest in chiropractic care and I really benefitted from a session with the Lightforce Laser device. His offices are comfortable, clean and easy to find and Dr Lindley is a real joy to work with.

Dr. Lindley is one of the best! He is very considerate and focused on helping you get back to where you need to be. He takes the time to understand your individual injuries and makes sure to help you in whatever way fits you best! I highly recommend Dr. Lindley, you won't regret it!

Alexandra Greenberg

I've followed Dr. Jack through 2 offices where he was an assistant chiropractor and now that he has his own practice. He's one of the best I've ever gone to.I don't think he's ever caused any pain during his adjustments - even with areas that have been a struggle for others to work on.It's sad that chiropractors can no longer use electronic stimulation, allowed by the government and insurances to other alternative medical providers, to relax cronically tight muscles before an adjustment.Roger SchaubleNorth Tacoma

The BEST chiropractor I have ever had! This isn't your run of the mill; everyone gets the same adjustments chiropractor. Adjustments are specific to your needs. I have never felt pressured or uncomfortable. Dr. Jack explains everything he is doing and asks for permission for areas that could be considered sensitive. I can't say enough good things about Lindely Chiropractic!

We moved to the area a couple of years ago and have tried a couple of chiropractors but they would only do your basic click, click done see you in a couple days. Jack took time to check your spine and body totally out and started adjusting where you needed it to help straighten and strengthen your whole body. He has been the best my wife and I have ever been to and we look forward to visiting again whenever we need it. His technique is so different from any we’ve ever had. You’ll be amazed after just a couple visits.

I have been searching for a chiropractor for a while now. I was referred to Jack and am so grateful to have found him. He is thorough with his exam and extremely knowledgeable. My body feels more aligned every time I see him and the pain in my neck is finally gone. Thanks Jack!

I highly recommend Dr. Lindley! I am pain-free after only three adjustments! I don’t need OTC pain medications anymore! He takes the time to explain everything and keep patients comfortable with the process. He took the extra step of sending a personal thank you card for trusting him with my chiropractic care - I have never received a thank you card from a doctor! He not only made me a believer in chiropractic health,but also his character as a great person and local doctor! Thanks, Lindley Chiropractic Health!

Jack is an amazingly caring doctor. I’ve been to a few chiropractors, but his method is unlike any other. He truly gets to know your body, and tailors his methods around you. Honestly, he’s the best

I'm 60 years old and this is my first time working with a Chiropractor. Dr. Lindley has been very helpful with my hip pain and you can just tell he cares about his patients. He even came in on Sunday morning to help me! I have had 4 or 5 visits with him now and I'm feeling much better. I would highly recommend Dr. Lindley to anyone looking for Chiropractic care.

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Lindley. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcome and at ease. Dr. Lindley expertise and personalized approach to my care were truly remarkable. I've had chronic back problems for years but after a few months here, I feel much better! His thorough assessment, effective treatments, and commitment to my well-being have made me a loyal patient. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a chiropractic professional who genuinely cares about their patients' health and long-term wellness

Dr Lindley is a fantastic chiropractor. About one month ago I started seeing Dr Lindley because of severe neck and back pain. Very thorough and helpful in his treatment methods. You can tell he is very well educated and really knows what he is doing. I am now pain free. I recommend Dr Lindley to anyone needing treatment. Not only a great doctor but a great person. He is the best.

Dr. Jack is very knowledgeable in his field, and really cares for his patients! He is also very friendly and ensures you're comfortable throughout your whole visit. Dr. Jack really takes his time to understand the pain & discomfort you may be having, and evaluates the situation before adjusting. He's helped me gain much relief, and I highly recommend him!

Dr. Jack Lindley was recommended to me by my nephew who is also a Chiropractor in Dallas, TX. They went to school together at Western States in Portland, OR. I had a very bad spell with Vertigo and like before had gone to a Chiropractor in CA where I live. I was up visiting my sister in WA and knew that if I could get into a Chiropractor they could help me get rid of my Vertigo. I went and saw Jack a few times and the last time did the trick and no more Vertigo episodes. He made me feel very comfortable in how he explained what he found and what he would do asking each time if it was alright with me. I recommend Jack to anyone that needs a caring, understanding, and excellent Chiropractor weather you live in Gig Harbor or not. Other family members needed his care with great results. Thank you Jack.

Jack is absolutely amazing! Very thorough and helpful in his treatment methods. I feel instantly better after a session with him and he always tries to fit me in due to my busy work schedule. I brag to everyone about his great service and I would give more stars if possible!

After moving over an hour away from my regular chiropractor, I finally found Dr. Jack! I’ve been going for about 4 months now and I am more than satisfied with and appreciate every single treatment. I am so glad I found someone who evaluates my entire spine each time I come in.

Allie Bulliman

1691700723

Wow. Thank you Jack for completely changing my perspective on chiropractic care. If you feel stuck, nothing helps, or other chiropractors haven’t worked for you, I URGE you to give Dr. Lindley a try. My visit with him consisted of over an hour of evaluation. I’ve never experienced such thoroughness, care or understanding as I did with him. He truly evaluates each patient HOLISTICALLY. I have recommended every single person I know to him, and they get the same results. Jack has even offered help outside of his clinic hours, which is just unheard of! What an incredible clinic that I am so excited to be a lifetime patient in. I would give him 6 stars if it were possible!!

I'm one of Dr. Jack's new patients, but I'm not new to chiropathy. In fact, I've believed in chiropathy for at least 50 years and have been treated by a number of practitioners over the years. Dr. Jack is one of the best chiropractors who have ever treated me, and I highly recommend his services. He's all one could want in a chiropractor, as well as just being a fine, caring and concerned person.

James D. Bassage

1690251177

I highly recommend Lindley Chiropractic, Jack is the absolute best! I'm so grateful to Jack for really listening to my needs and for changing his adjustments every visit to cater to what I'm feeling. His skills and comprehensive method of assessing for problem areas is so unique to any other chiropractor I've seen. Jack really cares for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure that you're happy with the care that you receive! I'm so impressed after every appointment, and always leave feeling better.

Jack is the best, fantastic and at he does, class all around.Body is extremely tight from previous sports injuries. He does what I can’t do to help loosen myself up at home while still providing me with helpful stretches and strategies to work on.

Christopher Brundage Jr.

1688081646

I have had mixed experiences with Chiropractors before, but Dr. Jack always makes me feel comfortable and safe. I like his approach that he evaluates, adjusts, evaluates, adjusts, evaluates, rather than others I have seen where you feel like a number getting the same "treatment of the day". He is constantly checking in to make sure that I am still comfortable. Since regularly seeing Dr. Jack for the last month, my daily migraines have subsided and I am finally able to get a full night sleep. After my appointments I feel like the tin man who just got freshly oiled. I highly recommend Dr. Jack Lindley as he is caring, compassionate, respectful, listens and is not at all "salesy" or pushy.

Holly Lemon

1685557573

I have see countless chiropractors and never have I ever felt better then when I started seeing Dr. Jack. Every appointment is different, he works on what you need and not what you don’t. I swear all the chiropractors I have been to have all read the same how to book. Jack took one look at that book and said there’s a better way. He is truly the best out there.

Bennett

1685494765

My partner and I have been to numerous amounts of chiropractors and never have we both walked out feeling amazing! Jack is very personable, He takes his time on both of us. Before seeing him I used to get horrible horrible migraines almost every day. Jack has pin pointed why I was getting them and I now never get them. We love him and will never go anywhere else.

Erica Schaefer

1685494079

Dr. Jack is a fantastic chiropractor. I was nervous to see him because I don’t have a lot of experience with chiropractors and I worried he would tell me to change my diet :), but his manner made me feel very at ease. He explains everything before he does it, and asks for permission before adjustments. Prior to my sessions with him, I was experiencing a lot of tension in my body from years of buildup and stress. While I still have a long way to go, I cannot believe how much better my body feels and how the adjustments have really helped to bring awareness to my body throughout the day. I’m grateful to have Dr. Jack as a part of my healthcare team.

Amber Holt

Dr. Lindley = GAME CHANGER! I've had off and on chiropractic work for over 30 years, which all seemed like a short term fix to a much bigger problem. Seeing Dr. Lindley has given me a path forward! My neck turns to the right for the first time in decades! He takes the time to explain and has techniques that are less painful and far more productive than my previous experiences elsewhere! If you need chiropractic care, Dr. Jack is the guy!

Kimberly Snyder

Effective chiropractic treatments are part art, part science. Over the past two months Dr Jack has effortlessly utilized both in service to my improved health + vitality. He’s a skilled diagnostician, using curiosity + keen observation to listen for what my body tells him needs attention. His treatments are gentle + effective. He is unfailingly kind. With his treatments long-held postural imbalances are shifting which, in turn, makes it easy for me to incorporate weight training into my fitness program. I’m grateful for Dr Jack’s treatments + believe you will be too!

Cory

I’m sooo glad I went to see Dr. Jack and get my body worked on. As a long time athlete, I know how important body work is, and over time I can tell that my body has tightened up and I was feeling more and more discomfort. Also, having an office job doesn’t help. I was a little hesitant at first to go to a chiropractor since it’s new to me but after just one visit with Dr. Jack I immediately started feeling relief. His warm and welcoming personality made me feel comfortable and he took the time to listen to what issues I was having. He then assessed me and worked his magic! I feel so much better now, and now I look forward to scheduling more appointments with him. I highly recommend him!

I’ve never had a good experience with chiropractors, they feel like they are trying to sell you on products and services. Doctor Jack was an eye opening experience to the contrary. I felt heard and seen, he listened and then paid attention to my bodies specific issues and was very honest about the actions he was taking. Dr Jack definitely has a refreshing view of chiropractic work. Definitely recommend.

Rebecca LaPointe

1663509481

I met Dr. Jack through a friend. Dr. Jack was great for both my wife and I. I had never gone to a chiropractor, so I had some trust issues walking into it. Dr. Jack made us feel comfortable and safe.Personally, I've had knee pain since I was about 8 or 9. I never thought an adjustment at 30 years old could make a difference, but it did. For my wife, she had some tight hips, and he helped to make her feel better as well.Thanks, Dr. Jack.

Daniel Bates

After my auto accident, it was difficult to lift heavy weight, run trails and return to activity as normal. But thanks to Dr Jack, and a few months of regular treatment and continued care, I might be in the best shape of my life. His care plan is tailored and precise to what I needed and I couldn’t be more thankful. I’ll be running a 10k Trail run in two weeks for time and I’m feeling great— highly recommended any athletes post injury to go see Dr Jack. He also LOVES golf, and helped my swing tremendously 🙌🏽

Gabe Rocha

Dr. Jack is seriously AMAZING. I’ve been receiving Chiropractic for about 8 years and Jacks style is life changing to say the least. The first time he adjusted my left hip, I finally had relief from pain for the first time in YEARS. He’s adjusted my neck in such a unique way that I haven’t had a migraine since I’ve started seeing him. Cannot say enough good things!
