Chiropractor

Shima Silber D.C.

Dr. Shima Silber founded Way of Life Wellness Center in 1997 to serve her community with an exceptional chiropractic experience that significantly advances wellness and quality of life.

Dr. Silber attended New York University for Fine Arts and performed internationally as a modern dancer. After an injury that ended her dance career, she discovered chiropractic, and with great results herself, she decided to become a chiropractor herself.

While getting her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University in Atlanta, she was introduced to Network Chiropractic and began studying with the founder. Now practicing Network Chiropractic for over 30 years with the highest level of certification, Dr. Shima understands the body-mind relationship and is committed to blending physical and emotional well-being. Through health and wellness workshops and lectures bringing you up-to-date health information, Dr. Shima provides you with everything you need to take your body and mind to the next level.

Dr. Shima’s style is energetic, engaging, compassionate and professional. She has a deep reverence for the body’s ability to recover, self heal and transform and she will empower you to take charge of your health at a pace that is right for you.

Over the last few years she pursued a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Spirituality and became a certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Instructor.

Dr. Deanna Poneman

Dr. Deanna Poneman - Network Spinal Analysis Chiropractor in Issaquah, WA

Dr. Deanna Poneman has been part of the Network Spinal Analysis community for over 30 years, receiving her first Network adjustment the day she was born by her godfather, one of the world's first Network Chiropractors. With nearly a decade serving patients at Way of Life Wellness Center in Issaquah, Washington, Dr. Deanna brings a lifelong dedication to gentle, transformative chiropractic care.

Born in a Transcendental Meditation community in Fairfield, Iowa, healing, spirituality, and the mind-body connection are quite literally in Dr. Deanna's blood. After earning her bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing from Columbia College in Chicago and working in the fashion industry, she discovered her true calling: helping others achieve the vibrant health and wellness she had been fortunate to experience throughout her life.

This realization led Dr. Deanna to Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic. Today, as a certified Network Spinal Analysis practitioner in Issaquah, she specializes in helping patients with chronic pain, stress relief, anxiety reduction, and overall nervous system health through gentle, non-invasive care. Dr. Deanna is also certified in the Webster Technique, a specialized prenatal chiropractic method that supports optimal pelvic alignment and fetal positioning during pregnancy.

Dr. Deanna is deeply passionate about empowering people to express their optimum potential physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Her approach to chiropractic wellness goes beyond symptom relief—she partners with patients to address the root causes of tension and stress stored in the body. Whether you're seeking relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, prenatal care during pregnancy, or looking to improve your overall well-being, Dr. Deanna creates personalized care plans that honor your body's innate healing wisdom.

Her commitment to her patients, passion for holistic healing, and genuine exuberance for life shine through in every patient interaction. Dr. Deanna believes that healing ourselves is the first step in healing the world, and she is dedicated to elevating humanity one spine at a time through compassionate Network Spinal care.

Dr. Deanna currently resides in Snoqualmie with her husband Jason, who actively supports the practice. Both receive regular Network Spinal care and understand firsthand the transformative power of this gentle approach to chiropractic wellness.
