Hey, Dr. Ryan Alter your Delray Beach chiropractor. In our office, we use three different things. We use something called an Inner Segmental Traction table. We use the chiropractic adjustment. It’s the foundation of everything we do. And then we have, of course, the Chattanooga Spinal Decompression tables.
And I wanted to explain to you why we use those things. Most of the problems in the spine are mechanical in nature, meaning they don’t move, they’re fixated. It’s, it’s a moving thing like a joint or a hinge on a door, and it looks like this. The vertebrae can shift backwards and get stuck, and when it’s stuck like that, it’s not moving.
So the main problem is the joint is not moving, and if it doesn’t move long enough, it starts to decay. So the inner segmental traction table, it actually rolls through the spine and says, are you stuck? Are you stuck? Are you stuck mobilizing the spine? It’s like flossing your teeth for your spine. The chiropractic adjustment will actually get behind the vertebrae that’s in trouble and set it forward again, moving the vertebrae, trying to restore normal motion.
And of course, our decompression tables. They’re gonna do this and pull the spine apart, diminishing the pressure in the disc, taking pressure off the joints and the nerves. So all three things we use in our office are mechanical to try to address a mechanical problem. Remember, we’re here in Delray Beach and we’re here to help you and your family feel your best.
I’ve had a great experience at Alter Chiropractic. Dr. Ryan delivers awesome care and it’s obvious that he genuinely has a passion for what he does. Haley and Alexis at the front are also extremely welcoming and helpful every time you walk in. The entire team at Alter Chiropractic is world class. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Dr. Alter! He is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about his patients. I was in significant pain when I found his practice and after just a few treatments have had noticeable relief and much improved flexibility. Both Haley and Alexis are exceptional at keeping this place running smoothly as well as being kind, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!
This has been my first experience with chiropractic treatment and I could not have asked for a better provider. The staff are always friendly and helpful; they always have a smile on their face when you walk through the doors. The treatment is AMAZING! Dr. Alter explains the process in a way that is easily understood. He is like the spine whisperer!!! His expertise and knowledge of what he is doing is so spot on that after one treatment I felt more energized relieved of pain. I’m happy I found Alter Chiropractor and look forward to each visit.
I came in dealing with pain and discomfort, and from my very first visit, I felt like I was in good hands. The entire team is kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. Dr.Alter took the time to listen to what I was going through, explained everything clearly, and created a treatment plan that it’s really working for me. After just a few visits, I started feeling a noticeable difference, and now I have less pain and can move much more comfortably. Every visit has been professional, friendly, and focused on helping me get better. I'm truly grateful for the care I've received and highly recommend Dr.Alter and his office to anyone looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about their patients and delivers great results.
Alter chiropractic is amazing, I hurt my back in the gym and was able to get an appointment right away and instantly started to feel better. Between Alexis and Haley up front and Dr. Alter, they have an all around great staff and I always look forward to seeing them each appointment!
I'm visiting from out of town and the pain has gotten consistently worse, I got a same day appointment with Dr. Alter, he is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to help me with part of my problem, but helped me to get a more permanent solution while visiting and when I get back home. Very clean office and friendly/helpful staff. I even told him if he could just relocate his office to where I live, that's how impressed I was with his service.
I can’t recommend Alter Chiropractic enough! I came in with a pinched nerve that started in my neck and radiated through my shoulder all the way down to my thumb. I was incredibly stiff, had very limited mobility, and was dealing with constant nerve pain. I’m only halfway through my treatment program, and the difference has been amazing. My mobility has improved significantly, the stiffness is gone, and the nerve pain continues to subside. I’m finally getting the relief I was hoping for. Dr. Alter has been outstanding throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable with each step of my treatment, and genuinely cares about his patients’ progress. The staff is welcoming, professional, and always makes each visit a positive experience. The equipment and treatment approach have been exactly what I needed to get back on track. If you’re dealing with neck pain, a pinched nerve, or similar issues, I highly recommend Alter Chiropractic. I’m grateful for the care I’ve received and look forward to continuing my recovery.
I’ve had a great experience here! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and Dr.Alter is knowledgeable and makes every visit comfortable.
Doc Alter is the best! I have been going to chiropractic for over 20 years- his very simple techniques with minimal manipulation teach the body to heal itself at first had me skeptical - but it has me feeling better than I have in 10 years- don’t want to jinx it but my back hasn’t gone out since I started with him- and that is fantastic!
