Carbon Chiropractic & Integrative Health: Where You Come First

When you’re dealing with stubborn discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply ready to feel better, you deserve more than a rushed appointment. At Carbon Chiropractic & Integrative Health, Gilbert chiropractor Dr. Alex Pudenz offers something different: focused, hands-on care throughout your visit.

Every appointment is face-to-face and built around what you actually need, not what an insurance company says you’re allowed to have. Here, real results come with a warm, family-oriented atmosphere.

Care That Puts You First, Not Your Insurance Company

We are a cash-based chiropractic and integrative health practice built around one simple idea: when your care is not dictated by an insurance company, the focus stays exactly where it belongs, on you. No rushed visits, no shortcuts, and no hidden agendas.

Just honest, attentive care guided by what your body actually needs.


Our Services

  • Chiropractic Care

    Chiropractic care aligns your skeletal structure with your nervous system while addressing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support everything you do. A properly aligned body moves better, heals better, and feels better.

    Whether you are managing chronic discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply ready to function at a higher level, this is where that work begins.

    Chiropractic Care
  • Shockwave Therapy

    Radial pulse wave (RPW) shockwave therapy targets adhesions and damaged soft tissue, stimulating the body's natural healing response at the source rather than just masking symptoms. It is particularly effective for low back disc issues, facet joint problems, patellar knee pain, and plantar fasciitis, and works well alongside chiropractic adjustments to accelerate results.

    Shockwave Therapy
  • Spinal Decompression

    Spinal decompression gently relieves pressure along the cervical and lumbar spine, allowing discs to rehydrate and decompress naturally. It is a strong option for disc injuries, facet compression, thoracic outlet syndrome, and neck or low back complaints that have not responded to other approaches.

    Spinal Decompression
  • Wellness Center

    Our wellness center pairs a red-light sauna with cold-plunge therapy for a powerful recovery and health-optimization experience. The sauna supports detoxification, deeper sleep, and cardiovascular health, while the cold plunge delivers proven benefits for inflammation reduction and resilience. Together, they are a meaningful addition to any wellness routine.

    Wellness Center
  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    HBOT places you in a pressurized chamber that delivers oxygen deep into your cells at levels that normal breathing cannot achieve. Benefits include accelerated wound healing, neurological support, detoxification, and well-documented anti-aging effects. Sessions run 60 to 80 minutes and are appropriate for nearly any patient.

Your First Visit Starts With a Real Conversation

Here, your first visit starts face-to-face, at eye level, no rushing. We want to understand not just what brought you in today, but who you are, what your daily life looks like, and what is getting in the way of you feeling your best. Because good care has to account for the whole person, not just the part that hurts.

Get to Know Dr. Alex

Dr. Alex grew up watching both of his parents work in health care, his father as a chiropractor, his mother as a nurse practitioner. From an early age, he understood that the most meaningful moments in medicine are not the big procedures or the complicated diagnoses.

They are the small shifts that genuinely change how someone feels and moves through their day. That perspective shapes everything about how this practice operates.

MEET DR. ALEX

Built for Athletes, Families, and Everyone in Between

Whether you are an athlete pushing your body to its limits, a parent chasing kids around all day, or someone who has been quietly managing pain for too long, there is a place for you here. We serve a wide range of patients and offer a growing menu of advanced therapies designed to address the root of your problems, not just the symptoms.

Walk-Ins Welcome. X-Rays
On-Site. No Referrals Needed.

We accept walk-ins and same-day appointments, and on-site X-rays are available so we can get a clear picture of what is going on without sending you somewhere else first. Our space is designed to feel professional and welcoming, not cold or clinical. Think of it as the place your family comes to get things done and actually feel heard doing it.

Ready to Feel Better? We Are Ready for You.

Every visit here is built around you, not a clock or a coverage limit. We are now accepting new patients, walk-ins are welcome, and same-day appointments are available.

Frequently Ask Questions

What does it mean that you are a cash-based practice?

It means we work directly with you, not your insurance company. We can focus on treatments that actually make sense for your situation, for as long as it takes.

Do you accept walk-ins and same-day appointments?

Yes. We welcome walk-ins and accommodate same-day requests whenever possible. Pain doesn't wait for a scheduled slot, and neither do we.

Are X-rays done on-site?

Yes. On-site X-ray capability means you won't be sent elsewhere for imaging. We take X-rays of the area of concern when clinically appropriate.

What does a new patient visit typically look like?

It starts with a real conversation about your history and what brought you in. From there, we may take X-rays and proceed with the most appropriate therapies, whether that's an adjustment, soft tissue work, or something else. You will always know what we are doing and why.

Is parking available?

Yes, free parking is available on-site.

Who is a good fit for this practice?

Just about anyone who is motivated to feel better. We work with athletes, families, older adults, and people recovering from injuries or tired of managing pain. Our only ask is that you show up ready to engage with your care.

Will you be expanding your services in the future?

Yes. We plan to add a nurse practitioner, deepening our integrative approach and offering a more complete picture of whole-body health under one roof.
