Dr. Marisa E. De Lisle

I have been under chiropractic care since the day I was born! My father began his career in chiropractic in 1975 in Leominster Massachusetts and was my first Doctor of Chiropractic. My father’s career was more than what he did to make a living; it was a way of life. I was reared with the knowledge that my body is a self healing organism and, if given the proper environment, is always moving towards health. I believe that chiropractic chose me and my life has been molded based on philosophies of health and healing, and I was destined to follow in my fathers footprints. As a young girl I remember being in public places and running into my fathers patients and they would exclaim, "Your father saved my life....!" I didn't really understand the depth of what these people said until I was in the clinical aspect of my education. A patient came to the clinic that had not been able to work for weeks, he was having trouble in his family life and he was not able to train for the athletic events that he was so passionate about - all because of back pain! After his first month of care he explained that he was feeling better then he had for years. He told me that he was back to work and was more efficient then ever; he was actually in line for a promotion. He said that he was more positive and social with his family because he had less pain and less financial stress. And to top it all off, he was training for marathons again! It was at that point that I realized how back pain ruled his life! Chiropractic actually change the course of this mans life! I studied Exercise Science at Syracuse University and the University of Massachusetts and completed my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree at Life Chiropractic College, West in Northern California. After graduation I had the opportunity to return to my hometown and work with my father for a few years. This gave me the foundation to eventually settle in Seattle and open my own clinic. My practice philosophy is driven by service. I strive to build the type of practice my father built - a community based practice focused on increasing the level of health within the body. My experience is in prenatal care, pediatric care, geriatric care and every thing in between. I work with people who have been in motor vehicle accidents or injured at work. I also work with people who don’t have any complaints and are looking towards increasing their level of health. I offer the most science based and comprehensive care that produces long term results, not just temporary pain relief. And to complete my life, I am married to a Chiropractor, Dr. Jason Penaluna. Jason is truly my soul mate and everyday I am thankful for his presence in my life. It is a blessing to find someone who shares your ideals, goals and dreams and I live my life knowing that each day is a gift and I cherish every moment.
