Chiropractic Care From Our Chiropractors in Anchorage, AK

If you’ve never visited a chiropractor in Anchorage, AK, you may be thinking of chiropractic adjustments simply as a means of relieving a painful back or neck injury. But this is only the tip of the health and wellness iceberg when it comes to chiropractic care. Let’s take a closer look at the many ways this safe, effective, non-invasive method can enhance your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Principles of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustment is a means of correcting a type of joint problem known as subluxation. Subluxation is a subtle form of dislocation in which two parts of a joint don’t quite mesh together properly. This misalignment may occur as part of an injury, in association with chronic musculoskeletal condition, or because of log-term postural problems. A misaligned body doesn’t just cause joint stiffness and pain; it can also lead to major nerves being pinched. This impingement can interfere with your body’s internal communications, drastically impairing your health.

Chiropractic care solves the problem by administering small, precise degrees of force to shift the joint components back into position. This force can be given manually (chiropractic means “done by hand”) or with the aid of advanced modern instruments. By fixing the causes of your symptoms instead of merely numbing the symptoms themselves, chiropractic care provides natural, drug-free relief.

A Natural Part of Your Health, Wellness, and Pain Management Strategies

The very first chiropractic adjustment was given by D.D. Palmer in 1895 — a cervical spinal adjustment that improved his patient’s hearing. Today, we continue to prescribe chiropractic care for a wide range of issues, including:

  • Acute injuries (sports injuries, workplace injuries, auto injuries etc.)
  • Chronic neck, neck, or extremity pain
  • Headaches
  • Nerve pain and other neuropathy symptoms
  • Systemic or organ problems related to poor nerve function
  • Chronic pain problems such as arthritis

Chiropractic care can even help you and your family stay well. Regular screenings and adjustments allow our Anchorage chiropractors, Dr. Curzie and Dr. Foley, to detect and correct even the smallest alignment issues before they can start interfering with nerve function and systemic health. Chiropractic care also partners well with other natural treatment methods. We can prescribe it alongside corrective exercises, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle changes to promote optimal health, wellness and pain management. This form of care is safe for every age group, from babies to seniors.
