Staff and Providers
Meet the team at Momentum Chiropractic, your family chiropractors in Puyallup, WA. Our doctors and staff support families across the Puyallup with chiropractic care and the 5 Essentials.
Dr. Tye
Owner of the firm, Dr. Tye Bratvold, has been in the profession for over 20 years and believes that, while important, premier chiropractic care is more than just providing spinal alignments. “We are focused on the whole body: nutrition, exercise, mindset, toxins, sleep,” says Tye. “We care about it all.”
He chose Momentum as the new name because it is defined as “the quantity of motion of a moving body” and “the impetus gained by a moving object.” Both definitions speak to the ultimate goal of the firm—to center care plans and partnerships around the whole body—not just the spine.
Unique to his firm, Dr. Tye also holds educational events to educate and explain Momentum’s philosophy and the importance of whole body care as it relates to chiropractic care.
Dr. Sean
Dr. Sean was first exposed to Chiropractic at the age of 30 after injuring his lower back. He was shocked to learn that his pelvis had a disorder that caused misalignment and abnormal curvatures in his lumbar spine. This in turn led to nerve interference which caused pain and an environment that could not heal completely on its own or function properly. Dr. Sean was so impressed with his experience as a patient, he ended up working at that same office in 2014 when he started working as a Chiropractic Assistant.
With this role, he continued to be amazed at the body's innate ability to heal, when freed from interference from something called a subluxation. Not only was he privy to people recovering from spinal injuries such that he had endured, he also was witness to the power that made the body heals the body for all walks of life, including babies to the elderly.
Dr. Sean has a background working with energy systems of the body, being certified in Jikiden Reiki, Life Activation Practitioner, and a Certified Healer with the Modern Mystery School. He utilizes these skills alongside his natural gift of removing interference from one's nervous system to produce and facilitate a state of balance and optimal function. It is his goal to provide you with the best chance to heal as quickly as possible.
Working with a diverse patient base since graduating Life Chiropractic College West in 2018, everyone from his fellow rugby players using deep physical body work alongside with specific Chiropractic adjustments, to subtle, light and effective instrument or light force techniques, Dr. Sean stands for a world in which people are living to their highest potential, creating a world of joy!
Angelena
At the age of seventeen, Chiropractic care found and fixed what traditional medicine could not for Angelena.

The more she learned, the more she knew that chiropractic care was what she wanted to do. Angelena loves being able to work in a field where patients are consistently saying to her, "It's a miracle! I can't believe it!" ...because she knows exactly what they're talking about! While the field of medicine is diagnostic and involves investigation, analysis, and problem solving, when the business day ends, she finds refreshment in creativity. She loves being knee-deep in design, where imagination rules, the vision is your road map and originality shines. Happy, healthy and joyfully serving others is what Angelena is all about!
