I am three years into a having a major chronic problem with my SI joint. Before I went to see Doctor McGahey, I was living with significant daily pain. At its worst, I couldn’t sit for any longer than about 15 minutes and walking any more than a few blocks was incredibly painful, including referred “nerve” pain. Things were bleak and I wasn’t getting better. I first went to see him about four months ago and he now has me back to about 95%! I am able to walk, hike, ride my bike and even run a little. As I write this, I have just had three completely pain free days in a row. The results of his treatment are undeniable. So, if you are having back pain or some other chronic over use injury, then go see Dr. McGahey. Nice guy and great Chiropractor. I can give him no more glowing endorsement than to tell you that he has been able to make me well. In addition, good explanations won’t make your back feel better, but still, it is nice to work with a professional that is a good communicator, answers your questions and takes the time to tell you what is going on. I really appreciate this about Dr. McGahey. Finally, Dr. McGahey is an Active Release Technique (ART) practitioner. This gives him another tool to use in your rehabilitation. At least for my situation, ART was a key part of making me better.

I highly recommend Dr. McGahey if youre considering seeing a chiropractor. After just three sessions over 5 days I went from feeling like something was acutely "wrong" with my back to feeling "normal" and in fact, moving better than I have in a long time. Id been feeling like my lower back was "out" for about week when I decided to seek chiropractic help. As I was just visiting Bellevue, I didnt know where to turn, so looked on the internet and read reviews and liked the sound of A.R.T and the fact that reviewers mentioned the treatment regimen didnt require a long time frame. I had just a week in the area and couldnt afford to make it worse before it got better. Ive also lived long enough to be wary of quick fixes, but A.R.T was just that. I would never have guessed going in that releasing tension in the muscles of my hip and back could make such a difference to the discomfort I was in. But moreover, Dr. McGahey managed to bring ease to tricky hip muscles where many others have failed in the past. Over the past 4 years Ive been to many massage therapists, a physio and even a Rolfer and A.R.T made more difference in a few short and painless sessions than Ive noticed in all my past efforts. I dont quite understand it, but heck, Im grateful!

When I finally decided I had to do something about the pain in my back, my daughter suggested Dr. McGahey. I am so happy that I took her advice. I could not ride in a car without crying out every time it went over a bump in the road. I could not stand up straight when I got out of my chair at work to walk around the office. I could not sleep at night because of the pain in my back; go to bed at 11 pm and be up in the chair sleeping by 2 am. This was my life, such as it was. Now, my son-in-law is happy that I do not cry out when he is driving and he does not have to say bump before he goes over one when driving, I can sit in my chair at work and get up and move around freely, and I am able to sleep much longer during the night. The doctor is doing wonders with my back, and I suggest him to anyone who has problems. In fact, I suggested Dr. McGahey to one of my co-workers as she has horrible migraine headaches. She has been very happy with Dr. McGahey as well. In fact the other day she said "I love my chiropractor"; I can ditto that compliment. Thank you Dr. McGahey, you have worked wonders.

I have been struggling with, and looking for answers to, my neck and upper back issues for 10 years. I have seen Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists and a Neurologist - but none of them had the solution. Somehow I stumbled upon the Active Relief Thechnique, and Dr. McGahey, and I am so grateful to have finally found a solution. Dr. McGahey is wonderful! He is one of those rare healthcare professionals that you know REALLY cares about his patients. He actually read all of my initial visit forms - ALL of them. I cant remember the last doc that did that. He takes the time he needs to understand your problems, explains the technique in a very understandable way and it works. Every visit has provided relief and Im finding myself going back to activities I had started to give up on. I now have my husband seeing Dr. McGahey for his feet and Ive told our family MD to make sure he sends anyone with muscular issues like mine to him - he and the ART are very effective and I hope my review will help someone else to not have to look for 10 years for a solution.

Nana-Mom -Sept 18, 2011 I ended up in Dr. McGaheys office as a last ditch effort to get rid of my back and neck pain. I have had chronic pain for years and couldnt endure it any longer. Surgery was not an option for my condition, and I did not want to get locked into daily pain medicine. My neighbor had told me the amazing results that she had when she went to Dr. Keith McGahey and since he was in Bellevue, it made the trip doable. I was shocked after just a few Chiropractic treatments, I was able to turn my neck without pain and much of the pain in my back was gone. I was so excited that I told everyone I knew about him, many of my friends and family have gone to him and had great results too. For me, the greatest thing ( besides being out of pain ) was the fact that by going to Dr. McGahey I was able to be up and about in life. My pain for so long had kept me down, so that was a big bonus for me. I am grateful for all the help and knowledge about the body that he has given me and my family.

I would say Dr. McGahey is the Swiss Army Knife of chiropractors. He does chiropractic adjustments, kinesio taping and ART. I have one okay knee and one really bad knee. By the time I got to Dr. McGaheys office, I could barely walk. He is the first ART practitioner Ive seen. ART has made a huge difference in my life. ART takes stretching the extra mile. Without ART I wouldnt be walking today. After we got the pain issue figured out, we started using kinesio tape. Ive had some taping done by PTs on my knee in the past. They were sort of helpful. Dr. McGahey worked with me to figure out the best taping strategies that would allow me to continue to exercise with a lot less pain, and my hot pink tape was always a topic of conversation at the gym. All that and he works with your insurance company, and when they stop caring about you, he will work with you to ensure youre taken care of. I highly recommend him to people who have hit a roadblock with other practitioners or pain management providers.
