Your Bellingham Sports Chiropractor

He/Him

Dr. Alex is a product of the Northwest, born and raised in the Skagit Valley. His passion for movement and exercise is rooted in the time spent exploring the North Cascades and the San Juan Islands as a child. Throughout his education and career, his primary goal has been serving the community that he loves.

 

His role as a chiropractor is to help improve quality of life through the conservative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. He believes in a holistic and patient centered approach to care; his perspective in treatment is focused through the lens of movement and biomechanics. Movement is Medicine.

 

The discovered love of movement came from his 3 years of personal training at WSU, but he was called to the question: “how does movement aid in the management of an injury?”. He spent the next 4 years studying at the University of Western States learning about the chiropractic approach to treatment with a focus on rehab and exercise. His preceptorship at the Comprehensive Pain Center at Oregon Health Science University was a unique view into the interdisciplinary approach to chronic pain.  His next 5 years in the clinic came treating the general population located in Downtown Bellevue. From farmer to tech executive, from professional athlete to the weekend warrior, his experience in treating patients is that we have more in common than in difference.  

 

Dr. Alex is compelled by the outdoors; you’ll often find him and his family foraging, hunting and fishing in their spare time. He has also been a member of the martial arts community through most of his life and supplements the skill driven workout with running and resistance training.  Join him in being fit and capable for life’s fun.
