We invite you to experience our Arctic Chiropractic East Office, where Dr. Mel Lancey provides great chiropractic care to people in Anchorage. We regularly hear from many people who have never been to a chiropractor. If you’ve never had chiropractic care, you might be surprised about how it can help you improve your health.
Chiropractic was first developed in the 1890s, and it works by restoring the normal and healthy functioning of your central nervous system by adjusting the spine. The term “chiropractic” originates with the Greek words “chiro” and “praktikos,” which mean “hand” and “practice.” Your Anchorage, Alaska chiropractor helps you by using natural, hands-on care that doesn’t involve risky drugs or surgery.
You’re probably aware of some of the benefits of chiropractic care, such as back pain or neck pain relief. But did you know that chiropractic can also help with general health and wellness?
Benefits of Anchorage, Alaska Chiropractic Care
Many people know that chiropractic care is great for back pain, auto injuries, neck pain, and headaches, but you might not know that the staff at Arctic Chiropractic East can help you improve your general health and wellness with chiropractic care.
Contact Arctic Chiropractic East at (907) 280-9991 to learn more about how Dr. Mel Lancey can help get you back on the road to health.
