Meet the Team

DR. ALYX DEBENEDETTO-IARED, D.C.
DR. ALYX DEBENEDETTO-LARED, D.C.
After several years of being told by medical doctors to take medications and stop riding horses for her recurrent back pain, her next-door neighbor, a chiropractor, suggested an alternative. After receiving treatment, she was back riding. She competed on the Fresno State Equestrian Team while completing her undergraduate at CSU Fresno. She completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 2008 in San Jose, California. She continued her education for animals in Kansas at Options for Animals College of Animal Chiropractic, graduating in 2009.
Born and raised on a ranch in Clovis, CA, she grew up extremely involved with 4-H, FFA, and horseback riding. Her love and concern for animals had originally sparked an interest to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. By working alongside a veterinarian for her last year of high school and first year of college, she had first-hand exposure to their day in and day out. Though she enjoyed Veterinary Medicine, her world had been opened into chiropractic and the many alternative options it provides for conservative care. She is very excited to be able to offer this as an option for all in need.
Dr. Alyx brings with her education a new technique called Graston Technique that compliments the Chiropractic adjustment. The Graston Technique helps break up scar tissue formed due to injuries that have healed with a restricted range of motion. This leads to the restoration of full function and range of motion, speeding up the healing process. This allows for the body to sustain alignment better with Chiropractic adjustments.
