What our patients say about us?
I like Better Health's full-on, multi-faceted plan to recovery, and their approach to overall chiropractic health.
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!
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!!
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.
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.
