ABOUT OUR DOCTOR

Dr. Paul Alder grew up in Spokane and attended Shadle Park High School. After graduation, he pursued a career as a professional powerlifter. He sustained a serious injury, which prompted him to try chiropractic treatment for the first time. The experience changed his life. He found chiropractic medicine to be a safe, natural, drug-free, and effective approach to wellness. Inspired and motivated to share the healing powers of chiropractic medicine with others, he decided to pursue it as a second career.

He later attended Life West Chiropractic College and graduated with honors on Sept. 18, 1995. After college, he practiced in Boise, Idaho, for almost two years before the beauty of Eastern Washington beckoned him back to Spokane. He established Alder Family Chiropractic in 1995. In addition to his practice, he has taught as a guest lecturer in Washington, Idaho, and California.

Dr. Alder and his staff are proud to treat patients with various conditions, from many walks of life. For the last 17 years, he has taken care of the professional cowboys and cowgirls who come to the Spokane Interstate Fair, as well as many other loyal patrons. Alder Family Chiropractic considers every patient to be a dear friend and member of the family.

Dr. Alder is married to his wonderful wife Lisa, with whom he has five children. When he's not at the office, he loves spending time with his family and the outdoors. Dr. Alder is also heavily involved in the community and his church. Among his many community endeavors, he works with the Boy Scouts. Himself an Eagle Scout, he enjoys helping young men in their quest to achieve this title.
