In our practice, you will discover contemporary chiropractic care designed for your complete satisfaction. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Fishers chiropractors can help you and your family.

Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.

As a chiropractor in Anchorage, my goal is to address the patient, not just the symptoms that they present with when they come into the office. Together with the chiropractic adjustment we are also interested in what people eat, their daily lifestyles, sleep patterns and exercise. When these aspects are effectively evaluated and implicated in people's lifestyles, health and vitality tends to flow naturally.

Our focus then is a more proactive approach to health rather than a reactive approach, or true health care rather than sick care. We acknowledge that going to a new place for the first time can be nerve racking. We want to do everything we can to eliminate any unnecessary stressors, which is why we include the option of printing and completing your forms at home.

We think of our patients as part of our extended family, and we are excited to meet you! If you have any questions regarding your first visit, please don't hesitate to call us at (907) 337-6770. Karie has excellent massage techniques and has done wonders for my injured shoulder and body.

Chiropractic maintains that the body possesses a unique innate wisdom that strives to maintain it in a state of good health. At the Alliance Chiropractic Wellness Center, our focus is on the upper cervical / upper neck region of the spine, which houses & protects the brain stem. When misaligned, this is the most serious kind of vertebral subluxation (misalignment).

Although the full spine is checked and adjusted as needed, the emphasis in our office is on the upper cervical region of the spine - the top two bones of the neck called the Atlas and the Axis. The reason for emphasizing the upper cervical spine is two-fold: One, because these bones are the most freely moving vertebrae in the spine and, thus, are most subject to misalignment.

Two, because this area of the spine houses and protects a part of the brain that extends out of the skull called the Medulla Oblongata. This area of the brain controls the autonomic nervous system which in turn controls the organs. If there is pressure on the brain stem, it is obviously more serious than misalignments (vertebral subluxations) in other areas of the spine.
