Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab is a one stop shopping care unit. No need to run around and get other appointments for different ailments, just come to one place for everything. The staff is great! Good to fantastic all the time. My neck muscles and back muscles have improved beyond my belief- and are much stronger. Thank you!
About Dr. Jacob Boll by Wilbur M.
Google Review 2021
I had severe low back pain so bad that I couldn’t stand up. Within one week of treatment I was able to walk and do normal activity with a little back pain. After two weeks of chiropractic and rehab in the Anchorage office, the pain was almost gone, and in three weeks there was no pain at all. Everybody was terrific. Thank you so much!!

Google Review 2021
The DRS System spinal decompression machine has benefited me in tremendous ways. I thought there was no hope for recovery of my lower back pain/ injury. With this treatment it definitely has made a difference in my life. My pain is less severe and continues to get better.
About Dr. Brent Wells by Christy Healy
Google Review 2021
After my car accident, I was suffering from upper and lower back pain and neck pain. I was unable to work because of my pain, so I took time off to have physical therapy. I needed a chiropractor in the Anchorage area. I was treated here at Dr. Brent Wells’ office with IFC, ultra sound, massage, and home and in-office rehab exercise. The staff was very enthusiastic and cared for my well-being. This encouraged me to try my hardest to get better. I’m now back at work and beginning to feel great!

A significant difference in the care at Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Therapy had to do with the time staff members took to listen to my concerns and feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions about
Chiropractors:
Does seeing a chiropractor for neck pain work?
A prospective, multicenter, cohort study, published in 2007, sought to analyze the overall safety and efficacy of chiropractic care for neck pain using over 500 patients. Nearly half of the participants who returned for a fourth visit reported that they felt “completely improved.” Most of the other participants reported recovery at the three-month or the 12-month follow-up.
The study also found that the benefits outweigh the risks, especially since there were “No serious adverse events recorded during the study period.”
Is chiropractic an effective treatment for sciatica?
A 2011 study followed the treatment of 28 adult scoliosis patients through a chiropractic exercise-based treatment program. All 28 of the patients reported improvements in pain, Cobb angle, and disability — even at the 24-month follow-up.
Are chiropractors good for herniated discs?
A study showed the effects of chiropractic manipulation on two patients with small disc prolapses. In both patients, spinal manipulation reduced the symptoms and the size of the disc prolapses.
Does chiropractic care actually work for carpal tunnel syndrome?
This study takes a look at the long-term effect of chiropractic care on those with carpal tunnel syndrome, comparing them to those with “healthy” wrists and arms. It’s conclusion is clear: conservative chiropractic care works for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Does seeing a chiropractor help arthritis?
A study of 250 people compared the effects of moist heat and chiropractic care on those with back pain from osteoarthritis. One group received only moist heat therapy, while the other received both moist heat and chiropractic care for their arthritis. Those in the chiropractic group experienced a more rapid and profound pain relief and increased range of motion.
