Alternative Health Care & Wellness Center
At Alternative Health and Wellness Center, we are fully dedicated to providing solutions to address your unique needs. Our approach to your health is multi-dimensional. There is never a "one answer fits all" diagnosis of a problem. We care for the whole person in a completely integrative fashion. In all cases, a patient is treated with a view toward optimal health; not just a solution to a specific, pressing health issue.

Dr. Baxter and staff welcome you to our practice where we strive to make patients feel at home. This personalized care is why people throughout the Southern Illinois area come to Alternative Health and Wellness Center. I have been going to a Chiro locally for over 4 years and this place has done more for me in less than a month than all 4 years from the other chiro!

The art, science and philosophy of chiropractic emphasizes the nervous system's interation with the whole body.
Dr. Angela Baxter D.C., grew up on a small family farm in Bellflower, Illinois, where she saw first hand the benefits of health coming naturally. Dr. Baxter's interest in chiropractic care began in high school following a back injury in a basketball game. After gaining relief by her local chiropractor for her injury, she was intrigued and decided to turn her interest into a devoted career.
Experience this holistic, ancient form of Chinese medicine designed to balance your energy (chi) and help stimulate your body's natural healing abilities. Sessions can provide a deep state of relaxation while relieving stress, tension, anxiety, depression, pain, sleep disturbances and even the side effects of smoking cessation.
The art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic's primary belief is in natural and conservative methods of health care. Doctors of chiropractic have a deep respect for the human body's ability to heal itself without the use of surgery or medication.

Rather than focusing on symptoms, chiropractors have a holistic approach to wellness that utilized therapeutic techniques and lifestyle changes to correct neuromusculoskeletal disorders and promote the body's natural healing abilities.

Very friendly knowledgeable staff. I visit about every other week now from a weekly patient. This to me means improvement in my lower back pain. I recommend them to everyone that says they are looking for a good chiropractor. My wife is who recommended them to me and I so glad she did.

Dr. Baxter and her staff are wonderful! They offer so many services for health and wellness.
I had an appointment over a week ago and after treatment, I still have relief from chronic headaches and neck issues.
I am so thankful my daughter suggested I see Dr. Baxter and her staff at Alternative Health Care.

Although I am just 2 weeks into my treatment by Dr. Baxter and her Team, I can say the professionalism, dedication, and attention to my getting better is very evident and so appreciated. I believe that the treatment modalities being applied to my neck and sciatica issues are on target and will increase my quality of life while decreasing my pain. This is a 5 star group; and it shows!👍👍❤️❤️

Dr. Baxter and her team are the very best at what they do. They make you feel welcome and work hard at getting their patients in as needed. I have showed up in pain without an appointment and they’ve worked me in. I came in an hour early and they worked me in so I didn’t have to wait an hour. I’ve been going to different chiropractors in Illinois and Iowa for over ten years now, and Dr. Baxter is the only one who gave me relief instead of making me feel worse. I highly recommend Alternative Health Care and Wellness!

Very professional. They have a
Very relaxing environment. I came for it'd acupuncture because I have I used have a lot pain near my shoulder blades. I am doing acupuncture, massages, tens, and general conversation. It feels natural (kinda weird for me). Explanation s on why my body is acting like this. I think it's it's a very professional environment to be treated in. Explains why VA sent me hear (tan clinic). I appreciate alternative healthcare.

Dr Baxter is hands down the most knowledgeable chiropractor I have ever been to. Dr B. takes the time to know her patient's and to customize the care specifically for them. I've recommended her to friends, family and anyone that I know she can help with her healing magic. Dr Baxter and staff are truly amazing and I don't know what I would do without them ❤♥

The back and neck adjustments are amazing and the people who work there are awesome as well. I plan on going there for a very long time. The chairs are super comfortable. I wish I had some at my house. I'd never leave them.

I found this place when a friend told me about their $39 hour massage. I have been to many chiropractors though out my life and they are among the elite in my opinion. I stated taking my mother and little man here as well. Everyone treats us like dear friends. The care and love we have received here has meant so much. I would send anyone here in a heart beat.
