How he practices: joint and muscle together, and no prepaid plan
Treatment is hands-on and tailored to each patient, usually combining chiropractic adjustments with soft-tissue therapy and simple exercises — because joint problems and muscle problems tend to arrive together, and treating only one of them is why pain comes back.
He takes the time to listen, explains what he finds, and makes sure patients are comfortable with their treatment before it starts. If you would rather not feel a joint release, there is a gentler instrument-assisted way to do the same work, and asking for it is completely normal.
There are no long-term contracts, no prepaid treatment plans, and no pressure to schedule more care than you need. It comes up again and again in his reviews, and it is deliberate: the goal is to make you need a chiropractor less, not more. Here is how a typical course of care works.
5.0 on Google: patients on how he works
Verbatim Google reviews for Dr. Penner. The Woodinville listing has no review below five stars. Reviews from SoundCare’s other locations are labeled as such, and one is shortened.
I’ve seen Dr. Penner off and on for years now and have always been given good information and received the appropriate treatment that involved only a necessary amount of visits–no pressure to come for weeks and weeks if things were improving; which they always did. Dr. Penner has a calm and friendly manner and is a great communicator.

Dr. Penner is a gifted chiropractor. He listens to me and takes care with his procedures. As an eighty-two-year-old patient, I greatly appreciate it.
Caroline Orr · Woodinville
Highly recommend Dr. Penner. In addition to being knowledgeable, he is intentional in asking questions to understand what’s going on and how he can help. Also appreciated him recommending stretches to help improve mobility at home.

… Honest, educational, really straight forward incredible physician. I’ve written five online reviews for any reason in my life – five stars for this guy.

Where does Dr. Penner see patients?
In Woodinville, Dr. Penner sees patients on Mondays from 9 AM to 5 PM and Fridays from 9 AM to 4 PM, inside Tree of Health Integrative Medicine at 17924 140th Ave NE, Suite 100. Tree of Health lists him on its own team page. SoundCare Chiropractic also has clinics in Seattle’s Magnolia and University District neighborhoods, which is why some reviews on this site are labeled with those locations.
Outside the clinic: trail running, guitar and six years in a Nashville band
Dr. Penner spends his time with his family, trail-running, playing guitar, snowboarding, riding motorcycles, and reading a good historical fiction novel.
Before chiropractic school, he and his two brothers moved from Alberta to Nashville to start a band, and he played music for a living for six years. That explains the guitar.
The running is relevant to the day job more often than you would think — a fair number of patients arrive with exactly the injuries he has had to work around himself.
See Dr. Penner on Monday or Friday. Leave with a plan, not a contract.
He examines you, explains what he found and, in most cases, treats you that same visit. Booking takes about a minute.
