Chris Gibson, DC, ATC

Dr. Gibson has been at NWSR since 2011. In 2023, he bought the practice from Dr. Kurtz and Dr. Su-Brown.  Dr. Gibson’s goal is to continue to provide the same quality of care that they delivered the South Sound since 1991.  Dr. Gibson is a team chiropractor for the Seattle Seahawks. In the past, he served as the head athletic trainer for several high schools. Dr. Gibson enjoys blending his knowledge of athletic movement, rehab, and training with chiropractic. He uses a very evidenced based treatment approach in his work with professional, high school and college athletes as well as with non athletes.

Dr. Gibson enjoys spending time in the great outdoors of the Pacific NW with his wife and son. He also enjoys traveling, running and gardening.
