Services
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through spinal adjustments. This service alleviates pain, improves mobility, and enhances nervous system function. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, and chronic conditions, promoting natural healing without surgery or medication.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression uses advanced traction technology to relieve pressure on spinal discs. This non-surgical treatment targets herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. By gently stretching the spine, it promotes nutrient flow to discs, reducing pain and fostering healing for long-term spinal health.
Auto Injury Care
Auto injury care addresses trauma from car accidents, including whiplash and back injuries. Treatments combine spinal adjustments and decompression to restore mobility and reduce inflammation. Early intervention prevents chronic pain, ensuring patients recover fully and return to daily activities safely.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead Technique delivers targeted spinal adjustments using detailed X-ray analysis. This method corrects subluxations with precision, improving nerve function and posture. Patients experience relief from back pain, headaches, and sciatica through this evidence-based, hands-on approach.
Activator Method
The Activator Method employs a handheld device for low-force spinal corrections. Ideal for seniors and children, it addresses neck pain, migraines, and joint discomfort. This gentle technique ensures safe, effective adjustments, enhancing mobility without manual manipulation.

I love this place. Dr. Alter has greatly helped me to get to place of almost normalcy. I have neck pain with bulging discs that I was about to see a physical therapist with, but I'm glad I took a chance on him. I wasn't able to wash my hair or keep my head up for long and I had such pain in my hands b/c of my neck. I cried the first time he told me all that was wrong. But now I can move better, wash my hair, take fewer breaks when trying to do ADLs.
I'm really grateful. The staff are so kind too and very accommodating. I really like Yami and Haley. They are so sweet. If you are skeptical, just try them with a consultation and take it from there. He talks a little fast but he knows exactly what he's saying and why. I think it's because he wants you to focus on the treatment and not so much what's wrong with you so you can have a more positive outlook. Thank you guys so much.

I have known Dr Alter for over twenty years and have been fortunate to call him my friend. Recently I visited his office and was very impressed on the efficiency and thoroughness of his office. His office staff are top notched and are very friendly. As a fellow chiropractor I was able to watch Dr Alter adjust and care for few of his patients while visiting there and was impressed how caring he is and effective his treatments were. If you live in the Delray beach area I encourage you to see Dr Alter to see if he may help you, you will not find a more efficient, effective chiropractor in that area.

Dr. Alter and staff at Alter Chiropractic, Haley and Yami are absolutely amazing! I couldn't recommend this business enough from the genuine hospitality from the moment you walk in, to the authentic care you get from Dr. Alter! If you ever are thinking about going to the chiropractor, this office should be the only one you should even consider.

I was never a firm believer in chiropractors.this was mostly due to our wonderful medical system saying they don't work. Boy, was I wrong. I went to Dr. Alter as a last result, before signing up for more evasive procedures (operations or epidurals). Dr. Alter listened to my story and level of pain, took the proper X-rays, and made a plan of action based on his years of experience. Within 4 weeks, I was back to normal, once again able to walk without major pain.
This is with a L5 disc that other doctors told me was not repairable. If you are looking to try something different, and want a doctor who listens to you and understands your body, pick Dr. Alter. Don't give up in 2 weeks, go at least 4 weeks, and I promise you'll see results. I now go once a week, for maintenance, and I haven't felt better in my back in decades. I am continuing my maintenance plan until end of times. Thank you, Dr. Alter, for understanding the human body and how to fix us. Much love!
