Welcome to **Enlighten Chiropractic & Holistic Health**, an integrative clinic in Wasilla, Alaska focused on delivering collaborative, results-driven care for chronic pain, injury recovery, functional wellness, and preventative health. We are a multidisciplinary team committed to helping patients feel and function better through a combination of chiropractic care, naturopathic medicine, medical massage, and low-level laser therapy.
**Dr. Ralf Schurmann, DC** brings over 20 years of clinical experience in chiropractic care with a focus on structural correction, pain relief, and restoring mobility. He is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and provides individualized, evidence-informed care to help patients recover from injury, improve function, and live pain-free.
**Dr. Alana McLaughlin, ND** is a naturopathic doctor who specializes in identifying and treating the root causes of chronic health concerns. She uses functional medicine, in-depth lab testing, and natural therapeutics to support hormone balance, thyroid function, digestion, fatigue, and overall wellness.
**Samantha Dowd, LMT, LDT** is a licensed massage therapist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in body balancing, neuromuscular reeducation, and therapeutic exercise. She works closely with the doctors to deliver integrated, hands-on care that improves movement, supports recovery, and addresses the root of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
**Our Medical Massage Therapist Team** focuses on outcome-based massage that supports clinical care plans and improves long-term function. Medical massage plays a vital role not only in recovery from pain and injury but also in ongoing wellness and prevention. Regular bodywork can reduce inflammation, restore balance, and improve overall performance—making it an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. At Enlighten, we believe healing happens best when providers work together. Our mission is to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms—and to create an environment where patients are supported, educated, and empowered to take an active role in their health.
