Dr. Alec has practiced for more than five years, with sports injuries as a primary area of focus — but his caseload is broad. He sees patients from every walk of life, with particular depth in:
Dr. Alec has worked with high-profile athletes including John Stockton, Odell Beckham Jr., Barry Sims, Steven Ashworth, Picabo Street, and Steve Nyman. That exposure shapes how he treats every patient, regardless of competitive level — the same diagnostic precision applies whether the goal is returning to a court, a slope, or a regular morning run.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
As a Webster-certified chiropractor, Dr. Alec cares for expectant mothers throughout pregnancy. The Webster technique is a specific protocol designed to balance pelvic alignment and reduce stress on the uterus and supporting ligaments, supporting a more comfortable pregnancy and optimal fetal positioning.
Frozen Shoulder (OTZ Method)
OTZ certification gives Dr. Alec a specialized toolset for treating adhesive capsulitis — frozen shoulder — a condition that often plateaus under standard care. The method addresses the neurological component that keeps the shoulder locked, not just the mechanical restriction.
Functional
Nutrition
A Master’s in Functional Nutrition means Dr. Alec can address health from the inside out. Inflammation, recovery, energy, and tissue repair all have nutritional inputs that traditional musculoskeletal care often skips. When relevant, he integrates that lens directly into a patient’s plan.
