What is an Activator?

May 13, 2019 By Dr. Greg Alexander

What is an Activator? Here at Alexander Chiropractic, Dr. Alexander uses the Activator system of adjusting. The activator is a precision instrument, which delivers a measured, precise, gentle force to a very specific area in order to restore motion to areas where joints have become "stuck". Stuck joints have lost their natural motion. This can lead to a variety of problems such as … [Read more...] about What is an Activator?

Ask the Doc: How Did my Back Get This Way?

April 11, 2019 By Dr. Greg Alexander

The answer is pretty easy. Your spinal joints, in various places, have LOCKED UP. This happens after an old injury heals, but the joint heals frozen. An example is, you sprain your wrist, tape it up, and after a couple of weeks you remove the tape and the joint is very stiff. If you didn't do something to restore the lost range of motion, the wrist would develop fixation, and arthritis … [Read more...] about Ask the Doc: How Did my Back Get This Way?

It is Important to Maintain Flexibility

September 2, 2014 By Dr. Greg Alexander

When you are not feeling up to par, you may be tempted to skip working out altogether. There are times when you need the rest. However, skipping too frequently may be an indication that you are expecting too much, or too little of yourself. For instance, people who have various types of arthritis, or who have limited flexibility genetically, may not feel comfortable working out.

We Educate and Create Wellness

July 1, 2014 By Dr. Greg Alexander

Helping a patient get better is about more than treating the patient in the office. A key part of a patient's care is EDUCATION. Educating a patient means more than just reviewing test results and explaining what will happen in the office during the patient's care. Educating a patient does include those things, but also includes educating the patient about the following: How nutritional … [Read more...] about We Educate and Create Wellness

I came to Alexander Chiropractic based on a recomendation from a person I knew after I related a severe back pain attack that suddenly happened to me. I have never really had a back pain issue and had never seen a Chiropracter in my 74 years of life. I initially went to an Emergency Care clinic and they prescribed steroids. That treated the symptom but not the cause of my back pain. Dr. Alexander treats the cause and not the symptom. He laid out a plan to address the cause and I got on board. I have been seeing Dr. Alexander for almost three months and I could not be more pleased with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Alexander to someone with back problems and the staff there is top notch. I recently recommended Dr. Alexander to a friend "A.H." and here was his reply to me after going to see Dr. Alexander: "The treatments as well as the staff are top notch! I left there with alot of "homework" and he is on top of his profession. Thanks for your referral."

Dr. Alexander is an extremely knowledgable chiropractor who helped to alleviate my back pain and re-align my spine. Dr. Alexander also educated me about general health in order to improve my overall quality of life. I would hands down recommend him for anyone going through any type of back pain because he truly gets down to the root of the problem, rather than simply fixing the pain.

I currently have been bringing my daughter to Dr. Alexander's office and I can't express the hope and excitement I have about the treatment she has been receiving. My daughter has been told she has a bad case of scoliosis but in the 3 to 4 months we have been going and receiving the activator method we have already seen incredible results in her neck alignment. It has been corrected and the pressure on a nerve in her neck is now released. Lia's headaches are few now. I can't wait to see the final results and am thankful for such a fountain of knowledge you receive at this office and for a very kind office staff! And how great to be at a place that they target the issue rather than throw on another bandaid or temporary fix! You won't regret going here!

I was in a bad way before Dr. Greg Alexander started treating me. My thumb had stopped working and was very painful. I could not open a jar or use my thumb. I had to stop playing guitar. I had been having chronic back and neck pain for 20 years. My M.D., a general practitioner, had prescribed Celebrex, an NSAID, saying "it is rough to get older", just treating the symptoms without looking for the cause, presuming it was merely aging. I was only 50 years old and did not think my body should be breaking down so much. Dr. Alexander took my x-ray and did some thermal scans of my back and showed me in the x-rays where my spine was out of alignment and how only half of the joints in my spine were moving because of a car wreck from 20 years ago and how a pinched nerve in my neck was causing the thumb problem. Dr. Alexander determined the cause of my problems and then treated the cause of the problems rather than just treating the symptoms. Dr. Alexander promised he could help me and give me my young body back. Dr. Alexander did not use his hands to make adjustments to my spine. Dr. Alexander used the painless Activator Method. Dr. Alexander kept his promise, and I feel like I have my young body back. My thumb works again. I can play guitar again. I do not have the back pain anymore. Now, I can sleep more deeply and have dreams again, which I have not had in many years. My productivity at work has improved. My happiness has improved. The range of motion in my back has improved. I can turn around and look out the back window when I put the car in reverse again. My pain induced dementia is gone. I have started running at the park again. I am stronger physically than I have been in many, many years. When I workout now, I am not in pain the next day like I had been before I received Dr. Alexander's treatment. I cannot express how much Dr. Alexander has improved my quality of life, my outlook and my attitude. I still get emotional when I think of how much benefit I received from Dr. Greg Alexander and what would have happened if I had not received Dr. Greg Alexander's care and treatment when I did. Thank you Dr. Alexander! You are the best doctor that I have ever had the good fortune to have treat me. Best medical care ever!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Alexander since February 1994. That's 25 years as of this writing. My loyalty comes from his excellent care and great staff (Annette and Carol) over these many years. I have two degenerative disks in my low back, and I am a very active person. Those two things can be a bad combination for a person if the right care and attention is not given to their spine. Through regular visits over 25 years (at least twice a month maybe more depending on whats going on) Dr. Alexander has kept me running, cycling, swimming, lifting weights, climbing mountains, backpacking, camping, and more. If you have back trouble and are looking for an alternative to conventional medicine of pills and surgery I highly recommend trying Alexander Chiropractic Center first. Below is a recent photo of me carrying a heavy backpack on my approach to the summit of Mt. Baker. Cheers to Dr. Alexander, Annette, and Carol for their part in getting me to the top of this mountain and many others!

I had developed a clicking in my knee (intense knee swelling also) and furthermore my leg would from time to time give out due to worsening of the situation - certainly I was close to falling. I walk in the park daily w/my dogs and thought those days were over. Dr. Alexander told me he could help me and he did! After less than three weeks I was walking an hour in the park daily again and no more clicking! Wow! Also the staff are very kind and professional. I highly recommend!!!

When I went to see Dr. Alexander, I was in incredible pain. I had been to orthopedic doctors, a neurologist, an acupuncturist, and had steroid injections, PRP injections, and physical therapy. After all this (and a lot of $ spent), I was still in a lot of pain and was not able to sleep through the night. Within two weeks of seeing Dr. Alexander, I was feeling 70% better and was able to sleep without pain killers. After 1.5 mo, I was back to my old self. My husband and my son have also seen Dr. Alexander and been really pleased.

I started seeing Dr. Greg in April 2018 and by July 2018 I am back doing things I thought I would never be able to do again. Dr Greg, Annette and Carol are compassionate, they listen and offer solutions for any issue you may have. I was a little skeptical when I first went to see Dr Greg, but may I say I am amazed by the results. I am looking forward to a full recovery from my condition and I recommend Dr. Greg Alexander to anyone who has neck and back issues. GREAT team and he is a really GREAT doctor.
