Effective care for Alaskans in pain.

Our friendly doctors and staff are committed to offering convenient, personalized care that helps you find relief and improve your long-term health.
Our Integrated Approach to Healing
At its core, chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular issues involving the spine — the central communication network for your entire body. Through our expert chiropractic services in Anchorage, we seek to reduce pain and improve mobility by addressing the source of the problem. Our treatments range from precise spinal adjustments and chiropractic massage to comprehensive physical therapy, all designed to optimize the connection between your brain and body for better overall health.
Targeted Solutions for Complex Pain
Our experienced team regularly helps Alaskans find effective back pain relief from complex conditions. We understand how the sharp, debilitating pain of a herniated disc or the chronic discomfort from lumbar degeneration and arthritis can impact your daily life. Our goal is to move beyond temporary fixes, using a combination of advanced chiropractic care, massage, and physical therapy in Anchorage to address the root cause, restore mobility, and help you return to the activities you love.
A Philosophy of Patient Empowerment
We believe that a healthier spine contributes to a healthier body. Beyond clinical treatments, our chiropractors are dedicated to empowering you with knowledge. We provide education on prevention, spine-friendly posture, and at-home care methods that amplify the benefits of your treatment, ensuring you have the tools for sustainable wellness.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
BHC focuses on rehabilitative therapy and chiropractic care to help patients get back to their normal function and activities. After determining the causes of carpal tunnel symptoms, we work to prevent nerve damage and loss of strength in fingers and hands and thereby provide an effective form of carpal tunnel therapy without invasive surgical treatments.

Neck Pain
Typically, neck pain treatments are chosen on the basis of whether or not pain is chronic, acute or unmanageable, and whether it’s Axial, Radiculopathy, or Myelopathy. Then, we personalize with a mixture of chiropractic and rehabilitative therapies.

Pinched Nerves
Radiculopathy treatments depend on where the pinched nerve is – cervical, lumbar, thoracic – and specific symptoms being experienced. Typically programs will include elements of chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, the DRS system and MCU therapy.

Shoulder Pain
In most cases, shoulder pain is a symptom of impingement, rotator cuff problems and/or referred pain from the cervical spine. At BHC we typically design a personalized treatment plan that incorporates chiropractic medicine and rehabilitative therapy.

Spondylosis
Thankfully most folks dealing with spondylosis, or spinal osteoarthritis, don’t require surgery and there are plenty of alternative treatments to investigate like acupuncture, short-term bed rest, and other lifestyle modifications. We help with adjustments, massage, and physical and occupational therapy modalities.

Sprains & Strains
These are among the most common injuries we see here in Alaska because sprained ligaments and strained muscles and tendons can occur in nearly every major joint in the body. BHC treatment options for sprains and strains include chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, the DRS system, and MCU therapy.

Stenosis
Depending on the severity of symptoms, we offer noninvasive treatment options that help to get our patients back into the business of living as pain free as possible.

Subluxations
Spinal subluxations can have a fair amount of negative impacts within the body, from strained muscles and sprained ligaments, to brain cord interference. Our treatment options for a subluxation include chiropractic care, rehabilitative therapy, DRS treatments and MCU therapy.
Learn more about Subluxations.
Tendonitis
Sometimes, due to injury, overuse, or age, the tendons become inflamed, making movements painful. The most common noninvasive medication-free treatment option for tendonitis is rehabilitative therapy.
Learn more about Tendonitis.
Whiplash
Most often with whiplash injuries, pain occurs immediately or is felt within a few days, but sometimes whiplash symptoms may not appear for weeks or even months after an accident. The good news is there are several treatment options available for whiplash including chiropractic care, massage therapy, and rehabilitation to improve muscle strength.
