Albuquerque Alternative Health Reviews

STICK TO HIS PLAN & IT WORKS! Dr. Downs has been an answered prayer in my life. I met him several Groupon years ago & he told me then; that my neck was going to cause me issues. After my job loss, I stopped going because I couldn’t afford his plan at the time. Several yrs later knock knock here are the health issues Dr. Downs advised were going to appear; anywhere from the chronic migraines to the sciatica neuropathy. If anyone has experienced any of those know the pain… I had to suck up my pride and go back to Dr. Downs. Thankfully he’s a humble, honest man we came up with my own individual plan to include my somatic therapy. I am happy to say that IS WORKING! There are times he’s knocking my shoes off to crying with years of trauma release. It’s magical… Not to mention losing a few pounds or two. HE’S THE REAL DEAL! Cindy his receptionist not only is kind & compassionate. Miss Magic Hands Crystal, well she hits that sciatica like no one’s business! Sophia who runs a fantastic Med Spa who is also part of Dr. Downs great choices in my healing journey. I thank each of you personally! 

Doctor Downs has helped all my family members with different issues. One with headaches due to tmj, another low back from driving and another just overall adjustments for back and hip pain. They are all happy

I initially found this chiropractic office through a groupon and have been a faithful client ever since (4 years at this point!). Dr. Downs and his staff are some of the most welcoming and friendly people you will ever meet and the icing on the cake is that they really take the time to get to know you before developing a treatment plan to handle your issues with the highest standards of care and professionalism. I highly recommend them for chiropractic care, big or small, they will get you right again!

I am so happy I found this place. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The doctor is knowledgeable, experienced, and invested in my health. He has eliminated my chronic tension headaches and lower back pain. Five stars and beyond!

When I first went to see Dr Downs I couldn’t turn my neck to see behind me when I was backing up in my car (I don’t have a camera). Now, not only can I turn both ways, it actually feels good to turn and stretch. Dr Downs is professional, attentive, honest and a walking book of knowledge. Five stars just doesn’t seem enough!!

I came in on a recommendation from a friend. I was exhausted looking for help and I had spent too much time and money on trying to find a good chiropractor who wasn’t totally scammy, but I trusted my friend’s recommendation to try one more. I was in pretty bad shape – could barely walk. I was limping severely and in a lot of pain, and couldn’t sleep very well for weeks. My spine, right hip, and knee were all out of place and a painful sciatic was starting up. Dr. Downs was really thoughtful and thorough in our first talk, and was full of understanding but also was optimistic he could help me. We came up with an extremely affordable plan. I’ve been 2-3 times a week and after three weeks of visits – I went on my first hike! I am walking limp free and my pain is remarkably better. I am sleeping better, I can do things I was unable to before (or at least not in a long time) and it’s given me a quality of life back that really messed with me mentally not having previously. This isn’t just a nice review but I’m really so tremendously thankful to Dr. Downs for believing he could help and being knowledgeable enough to help so extremely, when others couldn’t/wouldn’t. It’s such a nice office, friendly team, and a really easy and advanced check-in system. I cannot stress this enough, see him, come up with a plan that’s right for you, and get your quality of life back!

I’ve seen chiropractors for over 45 years all over the Western United States and know a good Doc from the others, I highly recommend Dr. Downs and his staff. Albuquerque Alternative Health have been so kind and open-minded about my adjustments, therapy, and payments (I found him and got a GREAT deal on Groupon). Doc, as I call all my chiropractors introduced me to Sound Therapy when I pulled my hamstring playing hockey, although it is expensive, the recovery time is absolutely amazing. If you don’t have time to wait and heal I recommend Sound Therapy, it works and is worth the cost. If Dr. Downs can’t help you, he will tell you who and what can help. He really does care about his patient’s health…

I have utilized chiropractic since I was a kid. I know the importance of proper alignment of the skeletal system in relation to the central nervous system and the problems with subluxation. Albuquerque Alternative Health has exceeded my expectations in chiropractic health care and their approach to pain management. Dr. Adam Downs is a very good chiropractor. His techniques and skills are hard to find. After several adjustments, I have experienced less lower back pain and much less sciatic nerve pain. The knee pain I was dealing with also greatly diminished thanks to Therapist Sophia and her skill with Shock-Wave therapy. She has a caring approach to administering this unique treatment, and I must say it works. I will continue to visit Albuquerque Alternative Health in the future.

I was new in town when I found Adam. I had back pain and he had a new patient special. Thankfully, he really knows what he’s doing, and results are certain if you follow his plan. I see him weekly now, and have ZERO back pain. Over the past two years, I have referred three friends to him (one being my spouse) and they all are amazed at the difference Adam makes. One friend had first gone to another chiropractor and is so grateful I referred him to Adam.

Amazing care. Staff is friendly and genuinely cares about your health. I went from multiple headaches a week to 3 headaches a year after starting treatment. Dr. Down’s holistic approach to health is very much appreciated! Front office staff is awesome. My family uses their services as well.

I am thrilled to share my remarkable experience with Dr. Downs’ chiropractic service, particularly the awe-inspiring treatment provided by Sophia through Shockwave Therapy. As someone who had been grappling with persistent neck pain and the excruciating discomfort of sciatica, finding relief seemed like an elusive dream. However, Dr. Downs and Sophia turned that dream into a reality with their extraordinary expertise. From the moment I entered Dr. Downs’ welcoming clinic, I sensed a profound commitment to patient care and a genuine desire to help alleviate my suffering. The warm and attentive staff made me feel instantly at ease, setting the stage for what turned out to be a life-changing journey to wellness. Dr. Downs’ exceptional knowledge and compassion were evident from our first interaction. He attentively listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and devised a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. It was during this process that he introduced me to Sophia, an exceptional Tech who specializes in Shockwave Therapy. Sophia’s expertise and gentle demeanor instilled a sense of confidence in me right away. She took the time to explain the intricacies of Shockwave Therapy, assuaging any doubts I may have had. Her professionalism and dedication to my well-being were apparent as she carefully prepared me for the treatment, ensuring my comfort and understanding throughout the process. The Shockwave Therapy administered by Sophia was nothing short of miraculous. With each pulse of focused energy, I could feel a wave of relief coursing through my body, specifically targeting my neck and sciatic areas. It was as though the pain that had tormented me for so long was being gently swept away, leaving behind a renewed sense of vitality. To my astonishment, after just one session with Sophia and the application of Shockwave Therapy, I experienced a significant reduction in both my neck pain and sciatic discomfort. It was as if a weight had been lifted, granting me the freedom to move and enjoy life without the constant burden of pain. Sophia’s skillful touch and understanding of the human body truly made a difference in my healing process. Beyond the incredible efficacy of Shockwave Therapy, Dr. Downs and Sophia displayed an unwavering commitment to my overall well-being. They went above and beyond by providing invaluable guidance on posture correction, exercise routines, and self-care practices. Their holistic approach empowered me to take an active role in my recovery, ensuring long-term pain management and a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Downs’ clinic exemplifies excellence in every aspect. The facility is impeccably maintained, creating an environment of comfort and tranquility. The entire staff, from the front desk to the treatment rooms, exudes professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Appointment scheduling was seamless, and I always felt welcomed and respected during my visits. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Downs’ chiropractic service, particularly Sophia’s extraordinary expertise in Shockwave Therapy. If you are seeking relief from neck pain, sciatica, or any musculoskeletal condition, I urge you to entrust your care to Dr. Downs and Sophia. Their combined talents and the remarkable power of Shockwave Therapy have transformed my life, granting me freedom from pain and restoring my overall well-being. Thank you, Dr. Downs, and a special thank you to Sophia for your outstanding dedication and exceptional care.

I have received chiropractic treatment from Dr. Downs and it has been outstanding. I can’t make enough positive comments about the shockwave treatment in his office. His tech, Sophia, treated me 4 times for an ongoing very painful rotator cuff problem I had suffered for about 5 years. The pain was so bad that it would keep me up at night & I could sleep in one position. It also limited my activities. I had already been through physical therapy & other treatments elsewhere with no change. The only thing left was surgery which I absolutely did not want to do because I knew I would face a long recovery & I would have expensive co-pays. I got immediate relief after the 1st shockwave treatment & after the 4th treatment I felt completely healed and back to my regular self. For those of you dealing with ongoing pain, particularly soft tissue, give this a try. I truly felt this was a miracle for me & am so grateful to be pain free. Everybody’s body is different & it may not work as well for others but it has been marvelous for me. Sophia has been awesome & she knows her physiology & how to utilize this knowledge for the best outcome. Russi in the front office has always been outstanding to work with.

I Have Suffered With Foot Neuropathy For Years. I Have Purchased Numerous and Various Types Of Shoes Insoles. Various Nutrients and Therapy Products. Attempting To Self Treat My Foot Neuropathy. But To No Avail. I Have Been Seeing Adam Downs Albuquerque Alternative Health. For about 3 months. With the weekly shock treatments Weekly Adjustments and the at home therapy products and program. I have experienced a tremendous improvement in my foot Neuropathy. Probably a 90% improvement in my left foot and about 70% in my right foot which was the worst. I highly recommend the Neuropathy Program for anyone suffering from Foot Neuropathy.

After two years of constant pain in my left leg, I had relief from Shockwave Therapy at Albuquerque Alternative Health. Sophia, at Dr Downs office, was super helpful educating me on the treatment and making me feel at ease as this was an entirely new treatment to consider. Cortisone shots, massage, stretching- nothing helped! During the shockwave therapy, Sophia was very thorough and made me feel relaxed. She really cares about her patients. 5 days after treatment my pain was gone! I will be continuing these treatments for sure! Thank you Dr Downs and Sophia for all your help!

Our Physical Therapist recommended Dr Downs anticipating he could give my wife additional relief with mobility and pain, & give me assistance with my chronic back and neck tension Dr Downs developed a treatment plan for each of us. His patience and persistence in implementing the plans is helping each of us. My wife’s improvement is giving her encouragement and relief. Dr Downs’ treatment is relieving the tension and discomfort I have had for so many years. Dr Downs, Thank You!

Dr. Downs is a great dr who has been doing this for many years. He listens to you and is very personable. Both my husband and I go to him and have enjoyed his care.

This was the first chiropractor I’ve ever been to and I have to admit I was a little nervous at first if it would really help all of the back pain I’ve had for 5 years since being a high school athlete. And I will honestly say I’ve never felt better! I can sit and stand for long periods of time without having pain. Dr. Downs knows his stuff and truly listens to his patients and takes their concerns into account and I truly respect him for it. If I ever have anymore back pain I will definitely be seeing Dr. Downs again.
