Dear Patients,

Alpha Chiropractic Center, Inc. is officially closed  as of October 1, 2023 and I have retired from patient care after 40 years, (five years in a different location.) Alpha was a dream come true for me! Thank you for all of your cards, gifts and well wishes!!

KEEP READING! Below is a list of referrals and contact information including the massage therapists.

First, some explanations. All chiropractors adjust differently. There are many ways to do adjustments and we choose the techniques that work the best for our personal strengths and preferences. This means that every chiropractor will have a unique combination of techniques. Everyone on my list is a good adjuster. Give them a try and see if their techniques work for your body, rather than looking for someone who adjusts like I do.

Definitions of Techniques:

Diversified: this is the name of a very large collection of manual adjustment techniques which involve physical contact with the doctor s hands with pressure and impulse to your spine and joints that usually make a popping noise when they release.

Activator: this is the technique that uses the handheld device that sounds like a stapler. I use it on extremity joints for everyone and for some, I adjust the entire spine and extremities with it. The decision is experiential: the patient and I find out what works best for that person.

Drop-Table: this is the move that involves an adjustment table that has settings that allow sections of the table to drop (makes a big clunking noise on my table) when the doctor makes the adjustment. My table has a pelvic and head drop piece. Some tables include the middle or thoracic area too.

Spinal Decompression: this is a table that the bottom half can drop away, either by hand or by machine, and move up and down to decompress and move the low back discs and joints.

REFERRALS:

NO XRAY REQUIRED to get treatment, though some have one if needed. These are in no order of preference.
