Our mission at Bellevue Disc Center is to help each patient achieve optimum wellness and freedom in health through proper care.

Dr. Steven Thain, DC

When I was in the 8th grade I found myself enamored with the anatomy of the human body in health class. I was able to memorize all the bone structures with ease, it just stuck. During that time I remember being at a church function on a Tuesday evening, it was late and there were 2 guys I knew talking. One of my friends said to the other “I am going to be a chiropractor one day”. It was at that moment that I had my first true, what I call ‘defining moment’ in my life. I just knew that was what I was supposed to do. What is surprising though is personally I had never been to a chiropractor; never seen one; never talked to one…I just knew it had something to do with health and that chiropractors were individual providers…working for themselves in a field that made a difference in people’s lives/health…and that is what I wanted to do with my life. From that point on I never changed my mind.

After nearly 3 decades in practice I found myself drawn to another educational endeavor. Seeking out how to best help the most serious and challenging of patient presentations in my office. Patients suffering from primary spinal DISC conditions.

I chose to go back to the university and continue my education, gain knowledge, learn the technology, understand the research and gain a confidence in providing debilitated DISC patients the best opportunity to recover. I am now able to restore their ability to return to the activities that bring passion and joy into their lives, when previously these patients lived in hopeless despair.

I am dual certified in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD); I have a Masters Certificate in NSSD from the IMABSD; I have been an instructor at the national certification program for NSSD, my office is an IDD certified facility in NSSD and in 2018 I was honored to be appointed to the International Medical Board for Spinal Decompression (IMABSD).

I chose this path because for so many I am truly my patients last hope.

By helping patients avoid toxic narcotics, risky epidural injections and often unnecessary spinal surgeries, I am fulfilling my mission, my path, my purpose and my destiny as a Doctor of Chiropractic. And after decades of practice I can truly say I am more excited now than I was on the first day I began in practice way back in 1987.

Dr. Koki Kobatas, DC

Dr. Kobata graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1998. He was introduced to chiropractic in high school, when he spent a month suffering from a severe migraine headache. Nothing touched the pain until he received an adjustment from a doctor in Tokyo. The experience changed the path of Dr. Kobata’s life and he has dedicated himself to the chiropractic profession ever since.

Dr. Kobata specializes in spinal disc injuries, sports injuries, and family practice. He has worked with the Seattle Sounders Women’s Team and the Nippon Tornadoes professional basketball team, he has been recognized as one of the Top Chiropractors in this region.

Our patients love Dr. Kobata for his highly intuitive sense for healing and his huge heart!

Dr. Kobata and the staff at Disc Centers of America have been caring for me for 3 years now and I am so grateful for them. After a bad car accident and lifelong spine issues, Dr. Kobata helped to... make me whole again. Through whole body wellness and careful care and compassion, they are the best place to heal and work through chronic back pain and even acute injury. I am feeling fit and more pain-free than ever these days and I owe it all to Dr. Kobata!read more

I was very skeptical about Spinal decompression by computer for my lower back pain. No big Yay moment but every time pain is less and less, so far I have done 9 treatments and beat injections and... surgery. It does take up your time.read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr Thain and this office. They literally gave me my life back. He was the first and only doctor of dozens I'd seen who diagnosed me right away and offered... treatment options that actually WORKED. After about 8 years of worsening pain and symptoms I couldn't even bend over and get back up (I was only 31 years old). Now after following the treatment program I am doing things I never thought I'd get to do like picking up my nephews, lifting weights and getting out of bed without pain. Life. Changing.read more

Dr. Thain has changed my life. I was unable to walk or stand without sitting and taking a break every 5-10 minutes due to sciatica and an accident I fell years ago and hurtMy back, now since seeing... Dr. Thain I am able to walk farther and stand longer with breaks but I can stand when I’m walking for breaks and I can stand for longer periods of time and I have only been seeing him for two weeks 3-4 times weekly and I can honestly say coming here was the best decision I’ve ever made my life has improved and i can’t wait to see how much better I continue to get HIGHLY recommended if you are in pain you need to come see the doctors here.read more
