Here at Alaska Back Care Center we can schedule massage appointments in 15, 30, 45, or 60 minute intervals. Again, massage appointments do not need to combine with an appointment with our chiropractors, but usually do as we recommend this as part of your treatment option in most cases relating to neck to low back pain. However if you're a new patient, an consultation is required from either Dr. Barry or Dr. Bryan Matthisen to evaluate the musculoskeletal complaint you may have.

How We Help
Chiropractic and massage therapies provide evidence-based holistic solutions for various ailments, proving effective in enhancing overall well-being. Research highlights chiropractic adjustments' ability to ease sciatica pain by addressing spinal misalignments causing nerve compression, while combining chiropractic care and massage offers relief for back pain with reduced intensity and improved mobility. Chiropractic adjustments aid in sports injury recovery and athletic performance, complemented by massage therapy's benefits like tension reduction and tissue repair. Both chiropractic care and massage show promise in alleviating headaches caused by tension and misalignment.
