The Alaska Back Pain Protocol
The Alaska Back Pain Protocol offers a unique strategy for treating low back pain for long-term results. Chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation therapy, and massage therapy are combined to increase the effectiveness of each procedure at Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care services focus on correcting misalignments, relieving pressure from the vertebrae in the spine and neck, and reducing pain and inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments use gentle force to improve the flow of nutrients in the body.
Physical Rehabilitation
Physical rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and mobility to the affected joints and muscles. Strength building exercises and stretches are coupled with at-home and in-office therapies to help your body heal.
Physical Therapy Modalities
Our Anchorage physical therapy modalities are chosen based on the needs of each patient. Ultrasounds, electric currents, and specialized traction techniques might be utilized for best results. Our technicians are fully equipped and trained with the best therapy treatments and equipment.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapy service in Anchorage focuses on correcting misalignments, relieving pressure from vertebrae, and reducing pain and inflammation. Massage therapy at our clinic uses deep massage techniques to help the muscles and joints heal.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression focuses on getting rid of back pain by gently stretching the spine. Our therapists are skilled in creating the best results without causing pain to you. This is a great way to heal your spine if you tend to sit often during the day, such as with an office job.

Dr. Brent Wells
Dr. Brent Wells, D.C. founded Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab with his amazing wife Coni in 1998. He received his B.S. from the University of Nevada (where they met), and his doctorate from the Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. When he isn’t with his family, building his ongoing professional education, or helping folks at the clinic, he’s either doing something community-centered or playing blues/rock guitar.
Dr. Nicholas McCarty
Hailing from Plainfield, Indiana, Dr. Nicholas McCarty, D.C. got his core education through an undergraduate program in Columbia, Missouri and Logan University. Since then he has taught anatomy & physiology to nursing students for years and been an integral part of the Better Health Chiropractic family here in Alaska. When he isn’t in the clinic or with his significant other (they met in grad school), he’s either playing with his dogs or restoring old American motor cars (a 69 Rambler and a 76 Gremlin are two examples).
