Alpha Chiropractic & Physical therapy Background I attended the Alpha Chiropractic & Physical therapy clinic to get treatment for an achilles tendon injury I picked up while jogging. At the time of the injury I was in the middle of selling my home and emigrating to the USA from Ireland and I had no time to deal with it at the time it happened. I also wasnt sure what the injury was and I was hoping that it would just go away by itself. After about 8 weeks I realised that it wasnt going away, however I had just arrived in the US and I was very busy looking for accomodation and buyings cars and all that stuff you have to do when you move. When I finally got settled my heel was still giving me a lot of trouble. After reading some information online I suspected that it was indeed my achilles tendon that was the problem. I also discovered that due to the poor blood flow in an achilles tendon that it can take months (if you are lucky) to recover from such an injury. At this point I was unable to run or do any kind of activity that involved even minor impact to my heel and every single step I took was painful. I used google to find a chiropractor in my area (Chandler, AZ) and came across a number of different practices in my vicinity. Why did I choose Alpha Chiropractic? What made me choose Alpha Chiropractic was the fact that a) Carson is a runner himself and b) they practice a technique known as the "Graston Technique" a technique used to treat injuries such as achilles tendonitis. This technique was used on me in addition to , electro, laser, stretches, vibration, icing & exercise therapies. The treatment centre The treatment area is similar to a gym, with a large shared open area containing treatment equipment. However, it also has the benefit of a number of private treatment rooms of the main area. The staff are all very friendly and made me feel very welcome. My medical insurance didnt cover this type of treatment but I got a six session package for 250 USD, which I thoought was good value, especially considering that most of my sessions lasted an hour or more. Result The result being that within 4 weeks I was walking pain free (something that I hadnt done for four months) and after 6 weeks I was able to return to some light jogging. I had a very low expectation going in for treatment and I was amazed at how soon I recovered following treatment. I would definitely use them again (and being a jogger I most likely will need to use them again at some point in the future!). I highly recommend Carson and his team (especially Stephanie & Mike).

About two years ago, I was having problems with a sciatic nerve. I contacted Dr. Carson and was able to get in that day. Once the problem was addressed the plan was made, and the treatments began. Turns out in addition to having a pinched nerve, we were able to find out that my hip seemed to be what I would call locked. 3rd treatment session man he really popped that baby like it was hottt!! I could move and jump around again as normal, but then again Doc had to calm me down and told me I had to let it heal and readjust. Even though Im a little hard headed, I did what he told me to. I went in for treatments for about two weeks and what do you know, I was back to work and back to my quality of life. Oh yeah and if you have a sense of humor, crack a few jokes on Mike the physical therapist. Dont worry just tell him I told you it was ok hell get over it. Seriously, Mike is great with people and really listens to what you and your body are telling him so he knows how to help you out with that aspect. All in all Doc has a pretty good practice here and I Would suggest you give them a call...Just Sayn! :)

Dr. Robertson, along with his team members, have been fantastic and amazing at helping me feel so much better! Ive had neck issues off and on for years now and sometimes I get flare-ups, such as yesterday. (I went in, got a quick adjustment and already feel a TON better!) I know that if Im in pain, quickly I will be relieved of my pain after I visit Alpha Chiropractic. Between massage, physical therapy (like the roller table, electromagnetic pulse therapy and/or stretching), Graston and my chiropractic adjustments, the combination of therapies always makes me feel better, but sometimes I just need a quick adjustment and that helps me, too. I truly value the work performed by the team at Alpha Chiropractic and know that if my neck (or anywhere else) acts up, I will schedule a visit! -Natalie Houston

I have been going to Alpha Chiropractic for the past 3 years after I was referred to them through Team in Training. I had just completed my first half marathon and my podiatrist told me that my plantar fasciitis was so bad that I should never do another race. My coach recommended I go and see Dr. Robertson and after extensive treatment on my feet (because I let it go too long), I no longer experience any pain and have very rare flare ups that require one visit to fix up. I am headed into my 13th half marathon and would not still be having fun raising money and awareness for blood cancer research while putting notches on the race belt if it werent for Dr. Robertson and his staff. I would recommend them to anyone and have continued to do so. Thanks for fixing my feet!!

I have been going to this office for a few years now and theyre outstanding. Everyone on the staff is courteous and knowledgeable. I consult with Dr. Robertson on several issues and he always points me to the right direction and even refers me to colleagues who specialize in the area that I am inquiring. Dr. Robertson was crucial in helping my family during an unfortunate situation and went above and beyond in aiding my familys recovery and overall well being. I highly recommend Dr. Robertson to anyone seeking help in the areas Alpha Chiropractic specializes in.

I have been working out most my life and have injured myself many times. I recently went to the hospital for x-rays and the end result was just pain killers. Pain killers cover up the pain and dont fix anything. The good Doctor and his staff healed my body in just a few visits. No more pain killers and I can work out and sleep through the night without pain. If you are in any pain and nothing has helped, please just go in once and feel the difference. I usually never right reviews, but this was darn worth my time.

Dr. Robertson and his staff are great! I had physical therapy for my knee and back problems. I was in a lot of pain and they helped me so much. Mike is excellent. He is awesome at setting up exercises that make you feel better and stretching out your muscles. The message therapist is awesome as well. The best part of their office is that they will answer any and every question. Even in their busiest times they have a great environment and really seem to enjoy what they do!

I have been going to Alpha Chiropractic and Physical Therapy for a couple of years now to help with running related injuries. I have to say that Dr. Carson and his team and fantastic!Everyone I have worked with has been great in helping to pinpoint all areas of pain and help me work through them. As for massage therapy, Pam works wonders! She does a great job at helping to work the tension out of the muscles. All the staff is extremely professional and very friendly!
