Dr. Alvord's Journey

Ever since I was a child, I always knew I wanted to be some kind of doctor. Then my mother started working at a Chiropractor’s office. It was 1977 and I was 8 years old. My family didn’t know what Chiropractic was, much less how to say the word! I remember her coming home from work one day and saying, “You kids need to get checked for vertebral subluxations.” My first reaction was, “Verta…WHAT???” Then I had this thought as a young boy that so many still have to this day: “There’s nothing wrong with me, so why do I need to see a doctor, much less a specialist?”

This was the very beginning of my journey into understanding this new and special idea that would completely change my life!

I saw lots of amazing things happen at my Chiropractor while I was growing up and by the time I was in junior high, I knew what I was called to do. I went to the oldest and largest Chiropractic school in the world, the Chiropractic fountainhead: Palmer College in Iowa, where I received my Doctorate in Chiropractic in 1994. Since then, I have dedicated my professional life to restoring vital function in people; from infants to the elderly. As a result of checking and adjusting literally hundreds of thousands of spines, I have become a master at one crucial thing. It’s what the rest of society doesn’t do, but you and your family and friends so desperately need: Specific, scientific Chiropractic care.

After growing up with Chiropractic and almost thirty years in private practice, I have pretty much heard or seen it all. And yet, I am more excited to help the next person today than even the day I graduated. Why? I have seen absolute miracles; things that society doesn’t think is possible! I have seen things improve, that to this day, that medicine still denies. It really is true that medical mysteries are usually Chiropractic certainties.
I live in Minnetonka MN, but I like to say that I live in a Chiropractic world. That means that I see everything around me in the light and respect of an Intelligence that created all life.

Every day is an opportunity to learn even more, so I continued this quest to understand my work better by recently completing a three-year coursework for the DPhCS, the Diplomate of Chiropractic Philosophy Sciences. Only about one in a thousand Chiropractors have received this accreditation on the most relevant subject in Chiropractic.

I am one of the few Chiropractors in the world to exclusively practice specific Chiropractic. There is a very important reason for this; I have never wanted to be a “jack of all trades” but a “Master Of One Thing”. In a sick world that thinks more is better, that same world only gets sicker. My continuing passion is to change all that…one spine at a time, one life at a time, for a lifetime. I believe that nothing is bigger than life. I also have a selfish reason for all of this as well. I want my son to live in a world that is healthier than I did, and I think you want that for your family as well.
