The Anchorage Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Anchorage

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.

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique utilizes a set of stainless steel instruments that are drawn over your skin to reduce underlying scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Since many long-standing spinal problems produce inflammation, muscle changes and fibrotic scar tissue, this approach is helpful in creating significant, long-term changes to soft tissues throughout your body.

Our Instruments

The hand instruments we use allow a deeper, more sensitive palpation and treatment of restricted tissues. Since the metal instruments do not compress like the fat pads of the fingers, deeper restrictions can be accessed and resolved. Plus, their concave/convex shapes mold to the various contours of your body for greater comfort and effectiveness.

Patient Satisfaction

Originally developed for the treatment of athletic injuries, patients report excellent results with both acute and chronic soft tissue injuries:

• Decreased recovery time
• Reduces need for medications
• Resolves long-standing conditions

As we pull our instruments across adhesions and scar tissue, patients report a temporary tightening, then a pleasant sense of release. Repeated visits help resolve these areas of scar tissue and improved muscle tone can be restored.
