History
Back and Neck Pain Centers is a group of clinics founded by the late Dr. Austen Chan. Dr. Chan was a nuclear physicist, then returned to school to earn his chiropractic degree. With a focus on acute care and preventative care through exercise and stretching, the clinics quickly grew to multiple locations. In 1999, Dr. Michael Chan, oldest son of Dr. Austen Chan, joined the practice. Now a co-owner of the clinics, Dr. Michael sees patients in the downtown Seattle location, Skyway-Seattle location, and Bellevue location. He speaks English, French, and Cantonese (Chinese). In 2002, Dr. Brian Chan, the third son of Dr. Austen Chan, joined the practice. Dr. Brian is also a co-owner of the clinics and sees patients in Skyway-Seattle, downtown Seattle, and Renton locations. He speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin (Chinese). In 2014, Dr. Matt Jensen joined the Skyway practice. He is now the lead doctor and is accepting new patients.
