Dr. Richard Asks some important questions of interest to Anchorage residents - Chiropractor Anchorage Dr. Richard Asks...

Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Anchorage chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
Can a chiropractor heal?
There's never been a case in which a doctor (chiropractor or otherwise) has formed scar tissue, mended a broken bone or cured a headache. Only you can do that. Turns out you're the doctor! All I do is help remove interferences to your body's healing ability. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
