We work with almost every private insurance company, including the most common ones listed.
Questions about your insurance?
Most people pay just $25 to $40 per visit.
Some copays are as little as $0.
All our fees cover chiropractic care, massage, AND physical therapy modalities- most even on the same visit.
Covered by Aetna? Aetna covers almost half of our patients. Our Aetna patient’s co-pays and insurance coverage are similar to in-network Blue Cross coverage.
Have Medicare? Medicare Part B plans now cover many chiropractic modalities.
Because of current insurance changes, we provide many services for free if your insurance doesn’t cover them.
If your care doesn’t seem affordable, talk to your doctor. We’ll get you the care you need at a price you can afford.

What our patients say about us
I like Better Health's full-on, multi-faceted plan to recovery, and their approach to overall chiropractic health.

Google Review 2021
Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Rehab is a one stop shopping care unit. No need to run around and get other appointments for different ailments, just come to one place for everything. The staff is great! Good to fantastic all the time. My neck muscles and back muscles have improved beyond my belief- and are much stronger. Thank you!
About Dr. Jacob Boll by Wilbur M.
Google Review 2021
I had severe low back pain so bad that I couldn’t stand up. Within one week of treatment I was able to walk and do normal activity with a little back pain. After two weeks of chiropractic and rehab in the Anchorage office, the pain was almost gone, and in three weeks there was no pain at all. Everybody was terrific. Thank you so much!!

Google Review 2021
The DRS System spinal decompression machine has benefited me in tremendous ways. I thought there was no hope for recovery of my lower back pain/ injury. With this treatment it definitely has made a difference in my life. My pain is less severe and continues to get better.

Google Review 2021
After my car accident, I was suffering from upper and lower back pain and neck pain. I was unable to work because of my pain, so I took time off to have physical therapy. I needed a chiropractor in the Anchorage area. I was treated here at Dr. Brent Wells’ office with IFC, ultra sound, massage, and home and in-office rehab exercise. The staff was very enthusiastic and cared for my well-being. This encouraged me to try my hardest to get better. I’m now back at work and beginning to feel great!

A significant difference in the care at Better Health Chiropractic & Physical Therapy had to do with the time staff members took to listen to my concerns and feedback.
