New Patients at Vert Chiropractic in Lacey, WA
Starting chiropractic care should feel clear, comfortable, and personal.
At Vert Chiropractic in Lacey, Washington, we believe your first visit is about more than filling out forms or getting adjusted. It starts with understanding you—what brought you in, how your body is moving, what matters most in your daily life, and what you hope to accomplish.
Our approach is individualized from the beginning. We take time to listen, evaluate, explain what we find, and help you understand whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for your needs.
Chiropractic Care for Every Stage of Life
Infants & Children
Children are not simply small adults. Their care is individualized based on age, size, development, comfort, and individual needs. Vert Chiropractic also serves many neurodivergent children and families, with care adapted to the person in front of us.
Adults
Adults may seek chiropractic care for musculoskeletal pain, mobility limitations, injuries, postural concerns, or movement-related problems. We take time to understand how work, activity, lifestyle, and daily demands may be part of the bigger picture.
Seniors
Care for older adults is adapted to the individual, with attention to age, comfort, mobility, health history, and clinical needs.
Athletes & Active Adults
Whether you compete, train, or simply want to stay active, our approach considers movement, mobility, recovery needs, and the activities that matter most to you.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings unique changes in movement, posture, mobility, and comfort. Our prenatal approach is gentle, individualized, and designed around each patient's stage of pregnancy and needs.
Veterans & Active Military
Vert Chiropractic provides individualized chiropractic care for veterans and active-duty military members, with attention to the physical demands of service, training, and everyday life.

Your First Chiropractic Visit in Lacey, WA
Your Care Starts With a Conversation
Before anything else, we want to understand you.
We will talk about:
- What brought you in
- What you are experiencing
- Your concerns
- Your health history
- Your goals
- What activities are important to you
- How your current concerns may be affecting everyday life
This conversation helps us better understand what matters to you before moving into the examination.
Then We Evaluate
Dr. Marum will perform an appropriate examination based on your individual presentation.
Depending on your history and reason for visiting, the evaluation may include movement, mobility, posture, musculoskeletal function, and other appropriate clinical observations.
The goal is not to fit you into a category. It is to gather the information needed to better understand what is going on and whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.
Then We Explain
We believe patients deserve to understand what we find.
After the evaluation, we will explain the findings in clear, understandable language and answer your questions.
We want you to know what we observed, why it matters, and what options may be available.
Then We Create an Individualized Plan
At Vert Chiropractic, we do not automatically place every patient into the same treatment schedule.
If chiropractic care is appropriate, recommendations are based on your individual needs, examination findings, comfort level, goals, and response to care.
You will understand the recommendations before moving forward.
Our goal is to create a collaborative experience where you feel informed, involved, and comfortable asking questions throughout your care.
Start With a Conversation
You do not have to have everything figured out before contacting us.
Tell us what is going on, what you are hoping to accomplish, and where you are in your wellness journey.
We will help you understand what the next appropriate step may be.
