Care that holds, not plans that stretch.
Evidence-informed chiropractic in Boulder for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and the way you move. Short plans, written out, reviewed at every visit.
The way we practice.
Evidence first
Care follows current clinical guidelines, and we are transparent about what chiropractic can and cannot do.
No long contracts
Plans are short, written, and reviewed. You are never on an open-ended schedule you did not ask for.
You are the decision maker
Every recommendation comes with a why, a timeframe, and a cost - and the choice stays with you.
What brings people in.
If it is moving, it is probably treatable. These are the most common reasons patients make an appointment.
Care programs.
Four ways we work, each with a clear scope and a clear cost. Plans are reviewed and rewritten as you improve.
New patient exam
You leave knowing what we found, what it means, and exactly what we recommend - before any adjustment happens.
Adjustive care
Technique is chosen for your spine and your comfort, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Most visits run 15 minutes.
Movement rehab
A short, specific home program built around your sport, your desk, or your day - reviewed and advanced each visit.
Sports & performance care
We look past the symptom at how you move, train, and recover, and adjust the plan around your season.
The adjustment opens the door. Movement keeps it open.
Your first visit.
No surprises, no pressure. Here is exactly what happens.
History & conversation
We talk about how the pain started, what it feels like, and what it is stopping you from doing.
Examination
A movement and posture screen, plus focused orthopaedic and neurological tests to find the source.
Plain plan, in writing
A clear recommendation: how many visits, what each involves, what it costs, and when to reassess.
Your first adjustment
Only when you are comfortable. Many patients start the same day; some prefer to think it over.
Dr. Reid Alcott, DC
I treat the spine like the rest of the body: specific, measurable, and accountable to how you feel.
Dr. Alcott opened Alcott Chiropractic on Pearl Street so that Boulder athletes, desk workers, and families could get adjustments without the upsell. Care is evidence-informed, and you always know the plan before it begins.
We are in-network with most major plans and file claims for you. Care that is not covered is priced up front, in writing, before you commit.
From patients.
Two adjustments and a set of three exercises and my desk pain is actually gone. Dr. Alcott never once suggested a six-month plan.
I was skeptical about chiropractic. I came for my hip, and what I got was an honest explanation and a plan I could afford.
The whole approach is calm and specific. They treat me like a person who runs, not a spine with a chart.
The clinic.
On Pearl Street, two blocks west of the Boulder Creek Path.
