Rooted Chiropractic Brings an Evidence-First Approach to South Lake Union

Rooted Chiropractic and Rehab opened in South Lake Union in 2025, founded by Dr. Tarm Leamphan at 771 Thomas St. It arrived built for the neighborhood it sits in: an evidence-first pitch aimed at South Lake Union's desk-bound tech workforce rather than a general chronic-pain caseload.

The practice calls its clients "practice members," a small language shift that signals a larger one. Treatment starts from a root-cause premise, tracing symptoms back to nervous system function rather than chasing pain point to pain point. The toolkit backs that framing up. Chiropractic adjustment sits alongside myofascial release therapy, kinesiology taping, and active rehabilitation, plus the Graston Technique: instrument-assisted soft-tissue work performed with stainless steel tools instead of hands alone. It reads clinical, not new-age.

The hours match the demographic too. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday run 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and again 3 to 6 p.m., split around a gap that lines up with midday meetings and lunchtime workouts. Tuesday and Friday close at 1 p.m. Weekends are closed, Saturday available by appointment only.

Online, the clinic leans on team photography and staff-forward posts rather than stock wellness imagery, closer to a studio's visual register than a strip-mall chiropractor's.

No pricing is published anywhere online. Rooted leads with the method instead of the number.
