At the Natural Health Center, we have been providing chiropractic care since 1985, successfully relieving pain and restoring function to patients who had not responded to conventional techniques.

Our experienced chiropractors offer diversified chiropractic care, with a goal of relieving pain and getting you back to the things you want and need to do. Our focus is on holistic rehabilitation that considers the whole person and root causes, not simply treating symptoms.

If we can help you address your pain, heal from an injury or maintain optimal health, please contact us to learn more or schedule a visit with one of our Anchorage chiropractors.

Motion palpation
In this helpful diagnostic procedure, we take your joints through their range of motion while we apply a light pressure to feel how things are moving.

Joint manipulation
Also called a chiropractic adjustment, there are many different forms of joint manipulation, from short, quick thrusts over restricted joints to low- to no-force techniques.

Diversified chiropractic technique
By applying a short, quick thrust over restricted joints, our goal is to restore normal range of motion, helping to restore spinal alignment and repair joint dysfunction.

Thompson technique
Using a “drop table” to deliver adjustments, this technique offers less forceful adjustments to the spine.

Cox technique
This gentle, low- or no-force procedure is performed as you lay face-down on a specialized table designed to distract and flex the spine.

McKenzie Method
This method of assessment and treatment for spinal and extremity pain identifies problematic movement patterns and teaches you appropriate corrective movements.

Activator technique
Using a small, handheld device, we deliver fast, low force impulses to specific spinal segments, reducing the likelihood of muscles tensing and resisting the adjustment.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Based on the thousands-year-old TCM practice of gua sha, IASTM helps dysfunctional tissue reestablish normal tissue and function.

Percussive/vibration therapy
This massaging device applies rapid bursts of pressure into muscle tissue to loosen up tight muscles.

Kinesio taping technique
This rehabilitative taping technique helps facilitate the body’s natural healing process, while providing support and stability to muscles and joints.

Trigger point dry needling
This technique involves the insertion of a solid filament needle into a trigger point within a taut band of muscle to reduce contraction.

Personalized home care plans
We work with our patients to provide individualized therapeutic stretching exercise plans so you can continue your healing journey at home, in between treatments.

Orthopedic supplies
Depending on your specific needs, we can fit you with a variety of quality orthopedic supplies, including orthotics.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we are happy to accept assignment of benefits for most insurance companies as a courtesy to our patients. However, it is important to understand that the contract is between the patient and the insurance company. The patient is fully responsible for any amount not paid by the insurance carrier. Read more about our insurance billing.

I got injured on the job. Do you help with workers’ compensation?
Yes, we will process your workers’ compensation claims when appropriate. There are separate benefit verification forms for workers’ compensation; you will need to complete and provide these forms prior to checking in for your first appointment.

I was in an accident. Do you process personal injury claims?
Yes, we will process your personal injury claims when appropriate. There are separate benefit verification forms for personal injury; you will need to complete and provide these forms prior to checking in for your first appointment. Note that we do not bill third-party auto insurance. If you are in an auto accident, we will only bill your auto insurance policy

What can I expect at my first appointment?
While each chiropractor takes a different approach to care, new patient visits generally range from 30-60 minutes in length. This allows your chiropractor time to examine you, learn about your condition and recommend a plan of treatment.

How many times will I need to come in?
While each chiropractor takes a different approach to care, follow-up visits are generally between 15-30 minutes in length. Treatment plans vary in length. Most cases may require four to six visits, but can be less or more, depending on the severity of your condition. Patients with chronic conditions may need ongoing care. Other patients may benefit from periodic “maintenance” care to keep their bodies performing optimally.
