About Dr. Alex VanDerschelden

Biography

I have always had a passion for helping others, and as a practicing Chiropractor, I have been able to do this successfully within my community. My mission and purpose has been to touch the lives of others by inspiring and giving physical and emotional healing. I began to develop my own passion for healing while attending Portland State University where I was graciously awarded a four-year scholarship as a player for the Men’s Tennis Team. Being an athlete is really where I began to understand the benefits of consistent chiropractic treatment.
I attended Southern California University of Health Sciences where I graduated with my Doctor of Chiropractic in 2016. I have since developed a practice to include children, athletes, the elderly, pregnant women, disabled persons, and any individual who would benefit from understanding the relationship of body and mind.

Doctor Alex and his staff are not only the top of the game with what they do - they are very respectful, welcoming and take the time to u listen to your issues and your feelings. They were understanding when I needed to cancel last minute and worked with me to reschedule. After the first time I went for a readjustment I immediately slept better, was not as stiff and could walk normally. I will be coming here long term and I am very grateful to OC Chiropractor for making me feel better. read less

His "ring dinger" adjustment is the best thing I've ever experienced and makes you feel immediately better and totally relaxed. At my first appointment, the first thing Dr. Alex did was have X-rays taken, which no other chiropractors had done in at least 15 years. He was able to pinpoint the issues in my shoulder that have been plaguing me fir YEARS and discuss a plan to fix it. I left that first session feeling like I could actually get better for the first time in a very long time. Best. Chiropractor. EVER. read less

I was skeptical, but finally took the plunge and made an appointment. Chiropractic genius is an understatement. I have had chronic left shoulder pain for years and after only two visits, my shoulder feels better than it has in a long time. I have seen many chiropractors in the past, but none have been able to give me the relief Dr. Alex has given me in only a few visits. He is worth every dollar. You will not be disappointed. read less

I highly recommend Dr. Alex and his team. Not only are they super personable and friendly, but you'll leave the place feeling like you can train to be an athlete. Alex is known for his magic hugs and you'll know why when you get one. I cannot imagine going to another place to get my weekly dose of crackin'. Bring your kids, bring your wives...everyone's doing it. read less

Coming from an athletic background and a career as a professional dancer, I've long struggled with injuries and pain in my body that I figured was just part of the sports career journey. I always thought I couldn't crack and was too far locked, but I was mistaken. Dr. Alex was able to immediately crack loose many areas throughout my body where I had learned to live with the ache. Definitely felt *surprised* about that. 🙂 One adjustment today has already reinvigorated so much life back into my bones and refueled me with energy. Dr. Alex has a great way of bringing ease, comfort, and security to your healing process. He quickly calmed my nerves and set me up for success as we focused on finding the relief in my body. It all feels beautifully personalized. I'd highly suggest a visit whether you're from surrounding areas or not. Dr. Alex has magic in his hands! read less

I was not fond of the idea of my neck being cracked either, but I was told that I should try it by a friend. I workout often, work full-time and go to school full-time; this adds a lot of stress and strain on my body, specifically my neck and shoulders. As a result, not only did I try but continue to go to Dr. Alex Vanderschelden. I can say that he truly is a great chiropractor, he is gentle but strong . He makes the process super comfortable and easy. I always get nervous right before my neck is cracked but Dr. Alex is patient and has this natural way of helping me relax, making it a smooth crack. I am glad that I gave chiropractic and Dr. Vanderschelden an opportunity, I would have been in a lot of pain had I not. Thanks Dr.Alex! read less

I'm a lifelong athlete and have done a number on my body. Dr. Alex really took the time to get to know my issues, and he really cares about making people better. He is not super pushy like some doctors are about coming in multiple times a week, but suggests what he thinks is best for each person. I'm very picky about my chiropractic care and I highly recommend. read less

He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and great in his job. He examined me first and took x-rays for my neck and back, also he showed me the issue and showed how it is suppose to be, then he told me how we are going to fix it. most importantly he really has affordable prices for the sessions. I recommend him to do your adjustments, you will feel better after your first session. Thank you Dr. Alex read less

I couldn't sleep at night and could barely move my head. However, after seeing Dr. Alex, one time, I actually got sleep and was more relaxed overall. It is not a one stop fix, and I still have a long way to go, but the fact that I was able to sleep and actually feel relaxed and turn my head without excruciating pain was such an amazing feeling. He is extremely thorough and really explains and shows what is going on with your spine. For me, that was probably the most important part because I was able to see what was going on and knew that he would be able to treat me properly based on that. Dr. Alex is also very kind and caring and really looks out for his patients and their best interests. I highly recommend seeing him for whatever your needs may be (I.e., pain, alignment, wellness, etc.) and will definitely refer him to those I know! Looking forward to getting and staying better with the help of Dr. Alex! read less

I spent a large portion of my childhood riding and breaking horses. I have been in constant pain for years and got very use to it. My neck and back have been in constant discomfort and I figured it was just going to stay that way. I'm 31 years old and I decided I'd try out chiropractic instead of medicating it. I can honestly say over the 3 months I have FELT significant change. No longer experiencing neck pain, lower back pain or the random burn in my shoulder. I sleep better, run better and even think more clearly. Super excited for this shift and recommend him to anyone and everyone! read less

I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease(causes extreme vertigo, hearing loss, and can be connected to migraines) in 2015 and have experienced ALL of those symptoms severely and since was put on medication for treatment(which did not fully relieve my symptoms). His love for his work kept shining through when he continued to ask me to try and let him help me bc I had never been to a chiropractor before. One day I finally came in to see him and after the fifth visit...no more dizziness or vertigo, and no more migraines. I have been free of what was a daily struggle for me for almost 2 months now! I can't even believe it. I could never thank him enough for helping me with my symptoms and now being free of having to take medication for the rest of my life! If you are looking for a chiropractor(especially if you have never been to one) Dr. Alex should be your top choice PS: he is amazing with kids! My kiddos love going to see him to get adjusted! read less

He really loves his work and it shows!! He cares about his patients and their wellbeing and wants to see them thrive!! I've been going in for regular adjustments for several months, and to be 100% honest, my body has never felt better!!! He's Amazing!!!!! I've been able to sleep better, jog longer without pain in my hips and knees, and I have experienced an overall rebalancing of my bodies alignment which has created more energy and relaxation. I always felt afraid of having my neck adjusted, but Dr. Alex is gentle and super intuitive... I can't thank him enough for helping me to be proactive about my health! I'm truly grateful for him and the whole Back Bay Wellness team!! Go see Dr. Alex you will not be sorry!! 🙂 read less
