Sports Medicine Northwest

Update: Came back for my third treatment of the Ring Dinger - the whole process had been amazing. We already have a primary Chiro for the past 12+ years (we live 1 hour away) and this supplemental treatment has been so worth it. Dr. Pond and his team are great. This treatment protocol has really helped my locked-up low back. Dr. Pond is also thorough in sending you exercises and movements that help keep the progress, because the adjustment is only a part of the solution. I’ll be back regularly and integrate this with my current Chiro program. If you are in the W Seattle area - I would highly recommend that you make SMNW your Chiro of choice!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Skylar W. Pond at Sports Medicine Northwest. After being hit by a car over a year ago, I had been living with constant back pain that affected my sleep, my daily life, and my hope of ever feeling normal again. I had tried many different treatments and even spinal decompression before, but nothing truly helped. I honestly started to believe this pain was something I would just have to live with. From the moment Dr. Pond took me in, everything changed. He genuinely listened to my story, my struggles, and my concerns. He didn’t rush me, dismiss me, or treat me like just another patient He treated me like a human being who truly needed help and healing. I used his decompression machine and will continue to use other services he recommended he offered. For the first time in over a year, I woke up without pain. That alone brought me to tears. After everything I had tried that didn’t work, experiencing real relief felt nothing short of a miracle. What truly sets Dr. Pond apart is his heart. He truly cares about his patients and genuinely wants to see them heal, not just temporarily mask the pain. We worked together to create a care plan that made sense for my situation, and when I couldn’t afford treatment, he still helped me. That kind of compassion is rare. He went above and beyond in ways most doctors don’t. Dr. Skylar W. Pond was truly a God send in my life. His kindness, understanding, and willingness to help others is something I will never forget. This experience has been life-changing, and I am beyond grateful for him and his amazing staff. Every single person there made me feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. I look forward to going back to Dr. Pond once I receive my settlement, and I cannot recommend him enough. If you are dealing with pain, feeling hopeless, or searching for a provider who actually cares about your healing (Dr. Skylar W. Pond) is the one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Pond and the entire Sports Medicine Northwest team. God bless 🙌 - Max

I had a shoulder/forearm injury that bothered me for almost a decade. During my move to Seattle my problem got aggravated. Found this practice and let me tell you, they are THE BEST. Skylar is beyond knowledgeable and knows movement like very few. They are not the cheapest, but cheap is expensive. It’s been a year since I got treated by them and I am 99% better. I could probably achieve 100% if I continued my treatment, but unfortunately had to move back to DC. Oh almost forgot the acupuncture, also fantastic. Seriously, cannot recommend them enough!
