Chiropractor Dr. Alex K. Humbert

While attending Logan, he extended his education by getting certified in Active Release Technique, the gold standard for soft tissue inquires regarding the muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerve entrapment; Neurodynamics, a technique used to diagnose and treat nerve entrapment; Selective Functional Movement Assessment, a technique used to analyze movements to help prevent injuries and improve athletic performance, Dry needling, a technique that uses a thin needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.

Growing up in a small beach town, he spent most of his time fishing, golfing, and being on the beach every chance he had. While being an athlete and powerlifter in high school and throughout college, he injured his back and began going for chiropractic care, which sparked an interest in the healing of the human body through natural means. When the time came in college to do the first internship, he chose to go to Coastal Integrative Health in Shallotte, which proved to him when he graduated that he would like to continue his education and pursue a career as a Chiropractor.

After graduating from chiropractic school, he knew there was nowhere else he would rather begin his career than back home. Returning to the place that shaped him gives him the opportunity to do what he has always wanted to do—help others' lives healthier, more active lives through natural, individualized care. Now, he is proud to bring that passion to Southport, where he can serve the community and help others live healthier, more active lives.
