Dr. Alex Hernandez, DC

Chiropractic Physician

Profile

I am a dedicated, patient-focused, and multilingual family chiropractor with a strong academic and clinical background. My expertise lies in diagnosing and correcting a wide range of spinal conditions and injuries. My approach is grounded in scientific principles, including physics, mathematics, and engineering.

I hold a postgraduate certification as a Distinguished Fellow of Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®), which has provided me with objective, evidence-based protocols for treating and managing a wide variety of spinal cases. By utilizing this advanced technique—designed to achieve lasting corrective changes to the spine through cutting-edge technology, I am able to deliver exceptional chiropractic care. In addition, I am certified in the Thompson Terminal Point Technique, which employs low-force, high-velocity, and specific spinal adjustments for optimal results. I am also highly trained and proficient in the following chiropractic techniques:

  • Diversified Full Spine, Gonstead, Toggle Recoil, Activator instrument adjusting, Myofascial Disruption Treatment, Instrument assisted soft tissue technique, Nimmo Trigger Point Therapy, Laser therapy, Extremity Adjusting and Physical Therapy Modalities.
