NUCCA, Sports & Injury Chiropractic

At Alpha Spine Center, we take a comprehensive approach to your health—not simply your symptoms. Our doctors evaluate the whole person to determine whether your condition is appropriate for NUCCA chiropractic care, sports chiropractic, or injury care.

We combine highly specialized NUCCA upper cervical care with evaluation and treatment of the spine, extremities, sports injuries, and auto accident injuries. NUCCA uses a gentle, precise correction of the upper cervical spine without forceful twisting, cracking, or popping.

 

Our goal is to identify the underlying mechanical problem, develop an individualized plan, and help you return to the activities you enjoy. When your condition requires care outside our expertise, we help direct you to the appropriate medical provider or specialist.

NUCCA Care

Gentle, proven care by the highly trained and certified doctors of the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association is the core of our practice. We work to bring balance to your body, spine, and nervous system.

Cold laser therapy uses light energy to reduce pain and inflammation deep within your body. Cold lasers do not heat or cut; they penetrate. We use them to trigger chemical changes that help heal damaged cells.

Sports Injury Care

We help athletes reach and remain at the top of their game. We help keep your body in balance, so that you can focus better, react faster, move more precisely, and reduce your risk of season-ending injury.

Maternity Care

Pregnancy and birth can have far-reaching effects on moms and babies. We help your body adapt to the many challenges it will face over a pregnancy and give care to help you avoid a difficult or traumatic birth.

Pediatric Care

From infants to adolescents, children have particular needs. Your child’s body grows and changes rapidly. With regular checkups and balanced care, we help developing bodies adapt to each new stage of growth.

Scoliosis Screenings

Scoliosis can occur at any age, but it often onsets in children, during the growth spurt just before puberty. We thoroughly and expertly check your children for the warning signs of scoliosis — for free.

After years of headaches, neck pain, and seasonal sinus issues I have finally found relief with the help from Dr. Salminen. My pain and daily discomfort is gone. Once a month visits and I have maintained a healthier balanced daily life and feel great with none of the problems I suffered from before. I highly recommend Alpha Spine Center to start feeling your best.

I’m so very thankful for being referred to Alpha Spine Center by a friend. I had been in a car accident that was not my fault, where the other driver T-boned my car & making my car hit my head! Unfortunately, I was in a lot of pain that lead to having constant migraine headaches. After having extensive tests, it was discovered that my cervical spine was damaged, constricting blood flow to my brain. So, Dr. Bryan Salminen knew he would be able to correct the damage to my spine with advanced care & several forms of treatment, including laser therapy. His proven 3-dimensional periodic testing shows the corrective improvement. However, the best results are not having constant, debilitating headaches, improved spine & muscle movement & being able to be active again!! I am healing more each week & would certainly recommend this amazing treatment for anyone experiencing constant pain!!

Excellent care coming from a wonderful team. They truly care about your wellbeing.
My knee and elbow pain have greatly diminished since getting laser treatment at Alpha Spine Center. Might be just the ticket for you as well! Highly recommend.

Plain and simple, I’m the best there is.. That’s a Ricky Bobby quote, but after over 2 years of going to Alpha Spine deserving opening to their review. I started seeing Dr. Bryan shortly after moving to the area. I was skeptical, like most, and the fact that I’d been to several other chiropractors to only get temporary results. Turned out, I had a double curve in my spine, it was pretty bad.

My first adjustment was so subtle, it felt like nothing happened. Then I went home and napped for 2 hours after the adjustment. Now, I never nap, so that was my first sign that something was definitely happening. After committing to a plan with them, I’m happy to report that my neck and back are better than ever, I’ve even taken up golf!

Fast forward to current, I’ve seen Dr Bryan and now Dr Drew countless times and we’ve dug into more and more old injuries, and the occasional mishaps that happen in life. I’ve got 3 young boys, and now I can throw around and have fun, not having to worry about my back taking me out for days.

It’s also worth mentioning that in the several years that I have been going to Alpha Spine, I was never asked to complete a review. These words are my own, there is no money exchanged, no discount for my words.

I wanted to make mention of this as I always see the reviews posted in the office. Rest assured, these are all real people, and their truth about how their lives are being changed. These guys are the real deal.

Alright, people! Review time! Alpha Spine Center is amazing!!! I came in with a super duper messed up neck and body, and with their help, I am feeling so much better! After having 8 concussions, let’s just say my neck and body are a wee bit sensitive… so I am so grateful I found Alpha Spine Center as their gentle adjustments have helped me go from 4 debilitating migraines a week and only able to scrape by with 20 hours of work a week, to little to no migraines at all in months AND working a full work week, and being able to workout again! Woot! The entire Alpha team is so personal, kind, and caring❣️

Dr. Drew and Dr.Salminen along with all of the staff are caring and professional. There are no big cracks and pops like you may experience at chiropractors, but gentle care that is informed with X-rays instead of guessing. I have had chronic issues with my neck and back and they have helped a lot and give me the tools to help myself heal such as exercises to strengthen areas where I have injuries, the proper pillow and traction device and exercise bands to help me heal. They will also advise when icing or laser is a good idea to bring down inflammation. The office is clean and peaceful and they are always on time with appointments but will spend as much time as you need to discuss topics so I don’t feel rushed.

Fantastic care! I’ve been going there for four years-two years while visiting my family on vacation, and then 2 years upon my moving back from D. C. Love Dr Brian and the team. They have given me back my life, my posture, and life — without neck pain and constant headaches! Praise God! 🙌🏼 I seriously recommend Alpha Spine to everyone I know. Two people have already received tremendous relief and are living pain-free lives again.
