OUR PROVIDERS
Dr. Chamberlain

Dr. Chamberlain has enjoyed participating in a variety of sports activities and later in life enjoys golfing, scuba diving, Harley rides, traveling and spending time with his family. He is active in helping and serving at his church and in his community.
Dr. Chamberlain’s motivation to help those who suffer with chronic pain came from his own experience with chronic pain. Over the years, he’s endured multiple injuries from sports, weight training, being a dad of three boys and just life itself.
Dr Chamberlain has a successful practice where his philosophy has always been focused on getting to know his patients. He spends time with them during their visit. He’s always been more concerned with quality treatments, that get results, rather than
quantity or the number of treatments he can get out of a patient.
Dr. Chamberlain is caring, understanding, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and fun. Honesty and integrity are of the utmost importance to him and expected from everyone in his practice. Dr. Chamberlain is always researching the latest advancements in health and wellness looking for new and improved techniques to better help his patients.

A Commitment to Pain Relief
Spokane Spine and Disc began in the year 2000. We’re the offices of Dr. Daniel Chamberlain, D.C. He studied chiropractic medicine at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. After graduating in 1997, he traveled back to Spokane where he’s gone on to treat thousands of patients. Dr. Chamberlain understands pain. This is because he himself suffered chronic back pain. He eventually found relief from spinal decompression and stage IV laser therapy. These are two treatments that we offer at our clinic today! At Spokane Spine and Disc, we’re committed to providing our patients with the best care that we possibly can. Our office is a positive and calming environment where you can feel free to heal. It is our belief that any pain can be healed. We’ve done extensive research in regards to regenerative medicine, and know that it can help restore cartilage and ease off the symptoms of arthritis as well as many other conditions. If you’ve been suffering chronic pain and can find no relief, you need to pay us a visit! We provide our services to Liberty Lake, Washington, and its immediate surrounding areas.
