Meet Dr. Christopher Twiford
Chiropractor
My life changed one day in 1986 when I saw my Uncle Bill, a chiropractor, adjustment my mom and some of our family members. I got "the call" right there! I knew right then and there that was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I have never wanted to be anything else but a Chiropractor since that day.
After graduating Chiropractic college in 1997 and practicing in Houston, Texas for almost 9 years I found myself getting a bit burned-out. I took a chance and came up to Alaska on a "2-year" contract and that was back in 2006! One of the best things about practicing Chiropractic in Alaska is that it has allowed me to go to amazing places and do things that most people never will, and I've gotten to do it all while helping people by practicing the profession I love.
Early in 2022 Dr. Peter Lorentzen, a legendary local Chiropractor who had been practicing in Eagle River for over 28 years was considering retiring. A mutual friend of ours thought that I would be a great fit to step in and run the office if Peter retired. After spending just a few hours together with Dr. Lorentzen working on patients in his office, I knew this practice was for me so on June 01, 2022, I officially took over running Alaska Chiropractic & Therapy here in Eagle River, Alaska.
The philosophy and practice of Chiropractic is so important to me. I practice good old-fashioned, tried and true, old-school Chiropractic done by hand. It's the same way my Uncle Bill did it in the 60's and 70's, the same way Dr. Lorentzen did it for 28 years, and the same way Chiropractors have been getting people well for over 125 years now. It's proven, it's safe, and it works. "We treat you the way we would want to be treated " is not just a catchy marketing slogan we made up- it's literally the golden rule by which we run our clinic.
