Welcome to ChiroTherm
ChiroTherm Wellness Center in Homer, Alaska is led by Dr. Anthony Piana, a Palmer-trained chiropractor with more than 35 years of clinical experience. The practice is built around a more precise approach to chiropractic care by combining hands-on evaluation with advanced thermography.
Rather than relying solely on symptoms, ChiroTherm focuses on identifying patterns of inflammation, nerve dysfunction, and physiologic stress that may not be immediately obvious. This allows for a more targeted understanding of each patient’s condition and a more individualized care plan.
Dr. Piana is also the founder of ChiroTherm and has trained chiropractors internationally in the use of thermographic technology. His work bridges traditional chiropractic principles with objective imaging, helping bring greater clarity to both acute and chronic cases.
Patients come to ChiroTherm for evaluation of neck pain, low back pain, extremity issues, posture-related problems, and cases that have not fully resolved elsewhere. The goal is not just symptom relief, but a clearer understanding of what is driving the problem.

Yes, chiropractic care is a safe and non-invasive approach when performed by licensed professionals. At ChiroTherm, our experienced team ensures personalized care plans and uses evidence-based techniques to maximize effectiveness while minimizing any risks.
The number of sessions varies based on your condition and overall health goals. Some patients feel relief after just a few visits, while others with chronic issues may require a longer care plan. After your initial consultation, we’ll provide a tailored treatment schedule.
Absolutely! In addition to chiropractic care, ChiroTherm offers physiotherapy, dry needling, IV infusion therapy, thermography imaging, and wellness programs. Our integrative approach supports long-term health, pain relief, and preventive care.
ChiroTherm combines traditional chiropractic evaluation with advanced thermography to assess patterns of inflammation, nerve dysfunction, and physiologic stress. This allows for a more detailed and targeted understanding of each patient’s condition rather than relying on symptoms alone.
Thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technology that detects heat patterns on the body. These patterns can reflect inflammation, nerve irritation, or abnormal physiologic activity, helping guide chiropractic evaluation and care decisions.
Yes. Thermography is completely non-invasive and does not use radiation. It simply measures temperature differences on the surface of the skin.
Patients commonly seek care for:
- Neck pain and headaches
- Low back pain and sciatica
- Shoulder, knee, and extremity issues
- Postural problems
- Chronic or unresolved pain cases
No. Thermography provides different information. It helps identify functional patterns such as inflammation or nerve-related changes, while MRI and X-rays show structural details. In some cases, they can complement each other.
Many patients come for standard musculoskeletal complaints, but a significant number seek care when their condition has been persistent, unclear, or not fully resolved with prior treatment.
The best chiropractor depends on your needs. Some patients prefer a traditional adjustment-focused approach, while others seek a more detailed evaluation. ChiroTherm is known for combining chiropractic care with thermography to provide a more in-depth assessment.
Chiropractic care may help in cases where nerve irritation or biomechanical stress is involved. At ChiroTherm, thermography may also be used to help identify patterns that contribute to these conditions.
Your first visit includes a detailed history, physical examination, and discussion of your symptoms. If appropriate, thermography may be used to provide additional information before determining the best course of care.
