The Chiro Inspired Podcast

Dr. Alandi Stec DC is a vitalistic chiropractor and believes that within the body, movement is intelligence, sensation is information, and awareness is the vehicle between the two. In practice, her intentional and present touch guides her patients towards connecting to, and integrating, their current physical and emotional manifestations so as to better express their health and wellbeing. She uses breath, postural positioning, stretching, light and gentle tissue work, cranial sacral technique, reiki, and traditional chiropractic adjustments (within the spine and extremities) to guide the body through its integration of stored tension patterns.

Her approach is gentle, specific, connective and aspires to wake-up the animating force within. Dr. Alandi has helped individuals from high-level athletes to athletic lifestyle enthusiasts to grandmas and grandpas, pregnant mamma's and expecting pappas, youth and those who are simply curious to learn real solutions for their plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and lower back pain to name a few.

Dr. Alandi received her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West (graduating with clinical honors) and her Bachelor’s degree in Art History from San Francisco State University (earning honors of Phi Beta Kappa). She is certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

Her adjunctive educational endeavors include a dedication to chiropractic studies through seminars instructed by Dr. Eric Rubin DC, yoga asana studies with Noah Mazé, as well as yoga philosophy and meditation course work with Christopher Hareesh Wallis, PhD. Her personal interests include exploring nature (hiking, backpacking, surfing, rock climbing), plant based cuisine, and international travel. Dr. Alandi has proudly assisted the world renowned Walnut Creek Aquanuts Synchronized Swimming Team. Her elite athletic background combined with her passion for the innate intelligence that orchestrates the human form, informs her unique and insightful vision of functional movement and the healing arts for her offering of health and wellness.
