Hello, I’m Dr. Alexa!
Dr. Alexa Elniski, DC
Dr. Alexa grew up in Lethbridge, Canada and was inspired to become a chiropractor after watching her mom have a miraculous experience with chiropractic after a car accident. Her mom did two years of physical therapy with minimal relief, but after 6 chiropractic sessions she was energetic and nearly pain free! Dr. Alexa began going to the same chiropractor to help with her body aches and popping hips from dancing, and she knew that she needed to learn more about this hands-on healing technique that avoided drugs and surgery.
That was only the beginning of her journey. In chiropractic school she befriended many former massage therapists in the program who helped deepen her understanding of how soft tissues and bones move and heal together. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from University of Western States in Portland, Oregon Dr. Alexa moved to Eugene where she did an internship learning and practicing the same soft-tissue technique that helped her mother recover years ago.
Following her internship, she trained in Chiropractic BioPhysics for nearly three years - learning to accurately assess spinal x-rays and correct postural abnormalities. She applied this extensive knowledge to a broad patient base of veterans, athletes, geriatrics, unhoused individuals, pregnant people and children. Working with perinatal care and guiding people through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care quickly became her passion.
Today she blends her knowledge of soft tissue modalities, Chiropractic BioPhysics, and experience with diverse body types to create unique, customized treatments for each individual patient. True healing is the integration of physical, emotional, and energetic bodies and that one cannot exist and truly heal without the others. The healing process cannot be rushed, so she makes sure each patient has adequate time to be assessed and treated at every appointment.
On her off time, you can find Dr. Alexa outside hiking, spending time with her partner and stepdaughter, doing yoga, and dancing with Elite Dance Company. She invites you to treat your body like the temple it is, and then enjoy the benefits of vibrant health, energetic motion, and good sleep!
