Inclusive Healthcare

At Summit Sports Chiropractic, we believe healthcare should be safe, respectful, & affirming for everyone.

We provide inclusive, patient-centered care that honors the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, neurodiversity, and ability. Our goal is to meet you where you are—without assumptions—so you can feel empowered and supported at every step of your care journey.

What is inclusive healthcare?

Inclusive healthcare goes beyond clinic excellence. It’s about creating a space where all patients feel seen, heard, and valued — regardless of identity or background. That means thoughtful communication, collaborative care, and practices designed to reduce barriers and improve outcomes.

We recognize that identity, life experience, and health are deeply interconnected. Our providers are trained to deliver care that respects the whole person and we are proud to be Whatcom County’s only queer-owned chiropractic clinic.

We provide inclusive, affirming care tailored to:

  • LGBTQIA+ individuals
  • BIPOC patients
  • Neurodivergent folks
  • People recovering from surgery or gender-affirming procedures
  • Individuals managing chronic pain, stress, or movement-related anxiety
  • Athletes of all sizes, backgrounds, and experience levels

Our unique approach:

Inclusive care isn’t a checklist — it’s how we practice every day.
  • Queer owned & operated
  • Patient-centered treatment planning
  • Gender-affirming communication
  • Culturally competent care team
  • Inclusive intake forms
  • Consent-first approach to touch & treatment
  • Accessible clothing options for all bodies

We are one part of your care team

We know that comprehensive care often includes multiple providers. While we bring expertise in chiropractic and rehab services, we’re also here to connect you with trusted, inclusive professionals in our community when additional support is needed.

We’re here to provide a healthcare experience where you feel respected, affirmed, and genuinely cared for. 

Whether you’re healing from injury, managing chronic pain, or looking for ways to move more confidently in your body—Summit is here to support you.
