About Dr. Alan Wedell
I found chiropractic through my own sports injury. Now I practice the way I wish someone had practiced on me.
About Dr. Wedell
Palmer Trained, Sports Injury Motivated
I didn't plan on becoming a chiropractor. I got hurt playing sports, went through care that managed the pain without ever finding the cause, and eventually saw a chiropractor who worked differently. That visit is the reason I do this work today. I learned about the truth of the body's natural healing power and how it can be unleashed by liberating the nervous system.
I trained at Palmer College of Chiropractic, the founding institution of the profession, which shaped how I think about spinal function and nervous system health. Every new patient gets on-site X-rays and a thermal scan at their first visit, because I want to see your spine and understand your nervous system before I ever adjust anything.
Mission and Vision
Treating the System, Not the Symptom
Our Mission
My mission is simple: find the actual source of dysfunction in your nervous system and correct it, instead of chasing whatever symptom happens to be loudest that week. Your nervous system runs everything, energy, sleep, digestion, immune response, not just the parts of you that currently hurt.
Our Vision
The vision behind this practice is a Hardeeville where patients don't have to choose between gentle care and thorough care. I want every patient to leave their first visit understanding their own spine better than they did walking in, with a clear plan built around what is actually happening, not a guess.
Values
What This Practice Stands On
A lot of clinics list values on a wall and never live up to them. Here's what actually shapes how I run this practice day to day, from the first phone call to your fifth adjustment.
Honesty
If chiropractic isn't the right fit for what you're dealing with, I'll tell you directly.
Thoroughness
Every new patient gets on-site X-rays and a thermal scan before any adjustment happens, because I'm not willing to guess at what your spine and nervous system are actually doing.
Education
You should leave every visit understanding more about your own body than you did walking in. I explain what I'm seeing on your X-rays and what it means, not just what I'm about to do.
Process
What Happens at Your First Visit
Most patients have no idea what to expect walking into a chiropractor's office for the first time, especially if a past visit felt rushed. Here's exactly how care works here, step by step.
Exam
Digital X-rays and a thermal scan map your spine and nervous system function before anything else happens.
Review
I walk through what I found with you directly, in plain language, so you understand your own spine.
Adjustment
Manual or light force, based on your comfort and condition, targeting the actual source of interference.
Plan
A straightforward path forward, adjusted as needed, with honest updates on what's working.
