Dr. David Alvarado, D.C., Chiropractor and Certified Acupuncturist
With more than 30 years of chiropractic experience and 17 years of acupuncture practice, Dr. David Alvarado has built his career on a simple principle: quality care over quantity of visits. As the founder of Alvarado Chiropractic and Acupuncture, he offers integrative physical medicine that combines chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, and exercise, all under one roof and all performed personally by Dr. Alvarado himself.
Dr. Alvarado's approach starts with getting the diagnosis right. Rather than defaulting to generic explanations for back pain, he takes the time to identify the actual source, whether that's swelling, muscle spasm, spinal misalignment, or a combination, and builds a treatment plan around it. His goal is measurable, meaningful relief: most patients see a 50% reduction in pain within just six visits.
Many of his patients come to him after being referred by their primary care physician or a former patient, and many are trying chiropractic or acupuncture for the first time, or returning after other treatments haven't worked. New patients consistently note the thoroughness of his exams and the clarity with which he explains both diagnosis and treatment plan.
A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Alvarado has practiced in Austin for over 30 years and was proud to be the first Hispanic chiropractor in the area. His practice sees patients in both English and Spanish.
For over 30 years, Becky has been the friendly face patients see first! Becky makes sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. From greeting patients and setting up new patient files to taking vitals, and scheduling follow-up visits, she handles the details so patients can focus on feeling better.
Becky is especially glad to help with insurance questions, no question is too small, and she genuinely loves seeing patients walk out with a smile after their session. That connection is part of what's kept her by Dr. Alvarado's side for three decades!
Outside the office, Becky enjoys spending time with her family, reading, working on crafts, and hunting for treasures at antique shops.
