Dr. Joshua Kievitt

I’m Dr. Joshua Kievitt, a Washington-based chiropractor with a passion for understanding how the brain, body, and behavior work together to shape the way we move, feel, learn, and show up in the world.

Before becoming a chiropractor, I spent nearly a decade working in education and behavioral healthcare—supporting children, teens, and adults navigating social, emotional, and learning challenges. That experience completely transformed how I practice today. It taught me that regulation is the foundation for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. And it showed me that real healing requires more than just treating symptoms—it requires understanding the person behind them.

My academic background reflects that same integrative perspective:
I earned my Bachelor of Science from Drexel University, completed post-baccalaureate studies in Nutrition and Clinical Health Psychology at Bastyr University, and later graduated Summa Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California. During chiropractic school, I completed a preceptor program in a functional neurology clinic, where I saw firsthand how chiropractic care can restore adaptability, improve sensory processing, and create profound shifts in both the brain and body.

Today, I blend full-spine chiropractic, tonal, and instrument-assisted techniques to help patients strengthen nervous system regulation, improve focus and emotional stability, and build the physiological resilience needed to thrive in a stress-loaded world. My approach looks at the structural, sensory, and behavioral patterns that influence how a person moves, learns, reacts, and adapts.

My mission is simple: to help people regulate, focus, and thrive by restoring optimal communication between the brain and body. Whether someone is dealing with stress, anxiety, sensory overload, ADHD-like symptoms, posture issues, headaches, or chronic tension, my goal is to help them move from dysregulation into safety—so they can live with more clarity, presence, and possibility.

If you’re seeking a warm, holistic, brain-based approach to chiropractic care, I’m here to help you feel more grounded, adaptable, and connected in your everyday life.
