"Winning the Seattle Marathon in November 2009 was the greatest running accomplishment of my life. It was also the start of over a year without running due to injury. I thought my body was just "beat up" from the race, but as days turned into weeks and weeks into months, I knew my injury wasn't going to get better with rest. I tried several treatment methods without much success. I had an MRI which only showed that there was no structural damage, but didn't show what my problem was. I started seeing Dr. Noble in April '10. Right from the first appointment, I felt like he was "on my team" and that he cared about my recovery and progress. I saw some improvements immediately with some of my issues, but still wasn't able to run. Dr. Noble continued to work on other options and explore other routes of treatment. He also worked well with the other health care professionals I was seeking help from. But the real breakthrough came when Dr. Noble tried a new form of treatment he hadn't really used before dealing with viral and bacterial infection. His continued learning and willingness to try new avenues is what kept me coming back. Eventually he hit on one of the major issues and the results were definitely easy to see. Soon, I was able to start running cautiously and then normally until I was back to a full training load. My first few races back were near PR's despite the missed training time, and I even set the course record by over 15 minutes at the Baker Lake 50k. Since I began running again, and occasional visit to Dr. Noble has kept me healthy and probably functioning at an even higher level than before the marathon. I love that he listens, and is also an endurance athlete so he gets that mentality. He is also genuinely interested in my races and events as well as my health. Overall, a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. "

"I heard about Dr. Noble through my running club and went to see if he could do anything for some intense mid-back and shoulder pain that I was experiencing. I had given birth via c-section a few months prior and was depleted and really needed to get my back feeling strong so I could carry my baby around. After my first visit, Dr. Noble recommended that I see him three times a week for six weeks if I wanted to see progress on this issue. I was doubtful –that sounded like a HUGE investment in time and expense and I was concerned because I had back pain for a long time and of course didn’t want to waste time or money on another treatment that might not be effective. My insurance only covers 10 visits per year and I knew I would go through those very quickly and have to pay out of pocket. But I was in a lot of pain and Dr. Noble seemed confident that he could help me so I decided to go for it and it has been the best investment. I have learned from Dr. Noble that spinal health affects many other aspects of wellness and after a few months of treatments I am very excited to say that I feel super healthy! Dr. Noble has a lot of tools in his toolbox and I really like how he is up on the current research and willing to try different methods to heal the body. When he told me he could do something about my gluten sensitivities I was very skeptical, but the craniobiotic technique that he used at one visit worked for me! After nine years of eating gluten free I have been able to reintroduce gluten without all of the negative symptoms that I had experienced previously. This has totally changed my life! I love not having to restrict my diet, especially when I am eating with family or friends or traveling. At the same time Dr. Noble is always giving me ideas about improving what I eat and that has really helped me to feel great. Dr. Noble also recommended that for my mid-back pain to be alleviated it would be important for me to correct bad habits in my posture. To get to the root cause of the re-occurring problems, instead of just treating the symptoms. When I first came to his office I felt like there was no way I could physically stand up straight and open my shoulders. My shoulders and back felt like a cement block. The chiropractic adjustments and other treatments helped a lot. Dr. Noble also referred me to a great rolfer - Brad Jones - who in a few visits was able to make quite a difference in my shoulder structure and gave me very practical tips about how to correct my posture. Working on my back with Dr. Noble has also encouraged me to make me to make my health a top priority and to find ways to be on the computer less and when I am working on the computer to pay attention to how I am holding my body. Now my back and shoulders feel healthy and don’t hurt! I have a list of other symptoms that have improved since seeing Dr. Noble, the most important being that I now have a lot of energy which is amazing and has really improved my quality of life! As I mentioned before, I am eating healthier and my blood sugar level seems less erratic and I am not craving sweets as I did before. Some post-pregnancy issues such as numbness in my fingers and issues with my ligaments have been alleviated. I can also say that six months after giving birth I just ran a seven mile race and felt great, so the sports aspect of Dr. Noble’s work has been very helpful. Dr. Noble is a very compassionate individual who looks at whole body fitness, peak performance and health. I am very grateful for his help. "

"Dr. Steve Noble is a genius. 9 months ago I was not able to run and was having to give up cycling. In my first treatment, he was able to make me pain free in less than 10 minutes. As a result of treatments, I was able to run again within one month and have zero difficulty riding my bike. Today my body is stronger and able to recover at a much faster rate and I no longer suffer from debilitating fatigue...thanks for giving me back my life...."

"Dr. Noble has my highest recommendation. I am grateful that I went to see him about my neck problem. Apart from providing excellent chiropractic care, he took into account my overall health, i.e. thyroid and sinus issues, energy level, etc. His evaluation was thorough, he was a good listener, and he was caring and insightful in his treatments and recommendations. I feel like a new person. Thank you, Dr. Noble!"

""I'd been struggling with Tennis Elbow for years. At times I just couldn't play tennis, let alone grip anything, my elbow hurt so badly. Upon examination, Dr. Noble discovered that my digestive system wasn't working properly which was contributing to the over abundance of inflammation in my body. Through the use of supplements, laser treatment, and manipulation my digestive issues are gone and my Tennis Elbow is under control. If my Tennis Elbow flares up, Dr. Noble is always able to clear out the inflammation, which keeps me on the Tennis Court where I love to be! I really appreciate that Dr. Noble is dedicated to fixing the "whole person". I came in looking to relieve my elbow pain, but left with a healthier body all the way around." "

"Dr. Noble is my hero! I was scheduled to do a 3-day, 220 mile bike ride, the Tour DaVita in Tacoma. But just one week before I found myself suffering from an acute lower left leg injury - cause unknown. My sister-in-law, who had heard Dr. Noble speak at a Bellingham Fit event, suggested I see him. Within two sessions the swelling and inflammation subsided and I was successfully able to complete the ride. I was unfamiliar with laser therapy then but now I am sold! Also, Dr. Noble understood my strong need to accomplish this ride - I was doing it to honor my brother-in-law who had recently died suddenly at age 56 of a heart attack . I appreciated Dr. Noble's empathy and caring and confident manner. Unfortunately I live here on the east coast and won't be able to continue to rely on him...I want him to move here!"

"Dr. Noble has helped to keep me happy and smiling while I ride and race my bicycle. It's always more fun when you feel good. It's always more fun when you're faster! Dr. Noble helps you have more fun! I could get into all the services and techniques that Dr. Noble has available to treat patients with, but the bottom line is Dr. Noble works with the patient to return their body to balance. To the way it should be. The way it wants to be. Everything effects everything else. When a body out of balance is returned to balance, normal body functions can seem almost magical. Recovery from hard efforts is lightning quick. My immune system is ridiculously strong. I've not been sick for a long time. I usually have pretty serious allergies, but those seem to have gone almost completely away as well. If you're interested in getting your body in tip-top shape - again, or for the first time - Dr. Steve Noble can help you do it. "

"Dr. Noble is an essential member of Team Craig. It may seem odd to say from 900 miles South, but Dr. Noble is a critical part of a group of advisers I call on to keep me rolling each year. I've known Steve as a friend, a fierce MTBer and now as a Doctor. I've watched him take his deep understanding of the body as an athlete and add an integrate knowledge of how it actually works as a doctor. I'm no professional athlete, but I do tend to take on big challenges every year. Dr. Noble's advice on stretching, nutrition, supplements and recovery have helped me achieve my personal goals of racing the TransRockies and the Leadville 100. I can only imagine what I could do if I could see him more regularly. :) I highly recommend Dr. Noble!"

"Its been a little over a year now since I began seeking Dr. Noble's help. I was a mess when I first showed up in his office. I had shoulder pain that plagued me for 10 + years, back pain, hip pain, chronic migraines, stomach issues and chronic sinus infections. I'm an avid cyclist who wants to become more competitive, not less. Dr. Noble not only treated me with adjustments but looked at the whole body. He immediately started me on a regiment of supplements that helped with digestion, low thyroid, allergies, and aided in recovery. Last summer was the first time I did not have a sinus infection. For the last few years I have had nasty sinus infections lasting from April to August, really effecting my overall cycling. My migraines have lessened with frequency and duration. The times that I had a migraine and saw Dr. Noble he was able to take them away within minutes with no meds instead of them lasting for hours with medication. I feel stronger on the bike, able to recover quicker from hard workouts and races, and my chronic right shoulder pain is diminished. It flares up but is easily put quiet again after an adjustment. So far this year I have a first place and 3rd in the Masters time trials, and two second places in the Cat 4's with no illness and feeling strong. I have Dr. Noble to thank for keeping me healthy."

"I have seen Dr. Noble now for about a year. 8 weeks ago I broke my right fibula skiing. High force break. I was trying my best to imitate Bode Miller in the downhill. For the first week after my break I saw Dr. Noble several times. Right away he got me on supplements to start the recovery process. I had surgery about 10 days after the break. I saw Dr. Noble several times throughout my recovery. Taking supplements the whole time. After getting the cast off I saw him several more times. My recovery is going great. Things are healing fast and now I've been back on the bike for 3 days now. The Physical Therapist was amazed at my fast recovery, swelling is almost gone, the surgical site is healing very fast and I feel great. My range of motion in my ankle is ahead of schedule as well. I credit not only doing everything right, but also Dr. Noble's help with getting me on the right supplements and getting the recovery process going much quicker. "

"I will take this opportunity to talk up Dr. Noble's services a bit. I was going to post a brief quote on the website, but this feels a bit more personal. At least I can respond to any questions. @ I had been intending to see Dr. Noble for at least a year, perhaps even well into last year. Maybe just a bike fit or something mild to start with. Typical procrastination on taking care of yourself, a few mis-scheduled appointments, and it just didn't come together. After listening to him speak at our sponsor dinner on Nov 3rd, and after breaking my tailbone in early August and battling with lower back pain in every 'cross race and losing power before the finish, I was finally motivated enough to get some treatment and started seeing him that same week, on Thursday. I got one treatment, started on some supplements, and put his changes to the test at a Seattle Cyclocross race that very next Sunday at Sprinker Park in Tacoma, on Nov. 8th. My wheel blew up on the first lap (rim failure) so I ran a FULL LAP on hard concrete in bike shoes carrying my bike. I got a wheel from Kevin Hall and did 5 more laps. My legs were trashed but my back did NOT seize up like it had been. Obviously my result was not good, but wait it gets better. I started seeing him two times a week following that, getting treated on everything he could find: back, neck, lazy glutes, old scar tissue on my knee, depleted kidneys & adrenal glands, even emotional stuff. If there is a weakness there, he can spot it and "up-regulate" it. I couldn't make it down to a 'cross race the following weekend, but I did three tough workouts in a row and felt more power all the way through. Tele skiing at Baker on Friday, fixie ride up Vista and around Ferndale on Saturday, 'cross ride up to Fragrance Lake on Sunday. Probably about 8 hours of tough leg and back work. Even as my legs were cashing out, I just felt like I could dig a bit deeper into my core to generate power. The next weekend I went really big. I put on a cyclocross race, biggest course I've ever had to build. This takes a ton of energy: lifting heavy equipment, lots of stress, and short on sleep. Then I raced the A's, which was 55 minutes on what people called a very tough course, and did not even get lapped or take last place! Next day I go down to Sedro Woolley, and people who raced in Bellingham Saturday are complaining about their legs feeling heavy. I feel fine. From a back row start, in 1 lap I'm with the leaders (including Patrick Means). I lay the bike over once and fall back a bit, but I finish in 10th which is MY BEST SEATTLE CX RESULT EVER! I have been doing this 5 years now. This past weekend I did the 'cross ride with Phil & Brian on Saturday to "loosen up the legs" prior to Seattle CX final in Monroe. We climbed up to the towers on Galbraith, which is not a little ride. I had lots of power and core strength to handle climbing up the technical terrain in a bigger gear with that geometry. Then on Sunday, a few mechanical issues kept me from getting any significant warm-up prior to my start, which was the back row of a 60 man field. It took just a half lap and I was in the Top 10 again. I blew by everybody, and the leaders were within reach. Then I crashed twice, once really hard on my head, and got knocked back a few spots. I still held on for 13th, and had plenty of gas left on the last lap. I felt like I could do two more and fight for 10th again (chasing Brian Dagnon). So there you have it folks. Perennial Cat. 3 racer gets 6 treatments from Dr. Noble, and he's getting his best results in a long time. Nothing benchmarks your performance improvements like a good hard competition against your peers. Go see him on Wednesday and judge for yourself! *photo credit to Cascade Event Photography."

"I lost my footing while running and sprained my ankle. Dr. Noble started treatment. The swelling in my ankle went from the size of a baseball to the size of a golf ball in 48 hours after laser treatment, Kinesio taping, and anti-inflammatory supplements. The speedy recovery is amazing. In less than 2 weeks I was able to walk briskly on a treadmill and in less that 3 weeks I am able to jump and I am almost pain free."

"Dr. Noble's treatments have kept me riding and racing strong day in and day out. I put a huge number of miles in and Dr. Noble has kept me injury free. His nutritional supplements have improved my recovery allowing me to reach peak performance."

"Within one treatment I gained a huge amount of mobility, after the third treatment I could raise my arm over my head and was back riding my bike and racing. Between the laser treatment, the supplements, and the percussor there is almost no pain and am feeling great."
