Dr.
Edgar and Alpine Health Care's purpose is to help you achieve
a pain-free state of health without the detrimental use of
drugs, narcotics or surgery.
Dr. Ken Edgar has been studying and treating patients with
natural health care since he was 17 years old. He took his
first massage and reflexology course in 1974 and has continued
to learn and practice many forms of massage therapy to this
day. In 1986, Dr. Edgar began chiropractic school after finishing
his pre-med course in biology and genetics at Cal State Los
Angeles. He graduated from Cleveland College of Chiropractic in 1989 and he began his practice in Malibu, California working
on professional and elite athletes. From 1995-1997, he worked
under Dr. Ron Lawrence, a neurologist, with over 30 years
of acupuncture research, at UCLA to learn medical/pain control acupuncture.
In 1997 Dr. Edgar and his family moved to Montrose, Colorado.
Dr. Edgar incorporates many therapies for an integrated approach
to the whole person. Deep myofascial release, chiropractic
biomechanical analysis and manipulation, meridian based and
medical acupuncture, nutritional analysis and orthotics casting
for mechanical foot problems are among his specialties.
Dr. Edgar
has been trained in Reflexology, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage,
Myofascial Release, Somatic Therapy, Structural Integration,
Ayurvedic Bodywork, Emotional Release Body-work, Acupunture
(Dipl. Ac., I.A.M.A.), Acupuncture Orthopedics, Manipulation
Under Anesthesia, and Nutrition and Yoga. Dr. Edgar has a B.S. degree in Human Biology and in 1989, he graduated from chiropractic school, magna cum laude.
Dr. Edgar first studied yoga from Indian yoga master, Yogi Bhajan in 1974 and continued thru 1993. After the first year of intensive training, Dr. Edgar was asked to teach yoga at several locations in the Dallas area, where he lived. After moving to Los Angeles in 1978, he continued to teach yoga at various locations from Altadena to Malibu, until moving to Colorado in 1997.
Once Dr. Edgar graduated from Chiropractic school and completed his 1000 hour Biomechanics course, he was able to incorporate his doctorate level knowledge of the body and movement into his yoga classes.
For the last 8 years (2000-2008), Dr. Edgar has taken a break from teaching yoga to undergo intensive meditation training from Chhoje Rinpoche, a Tibetan meditation master.
Dr. Edgar designs individual treatment programs. Whether you are in pain and need relief, or simply want to maintain your health, call today for a courtesy consultation with Dr. Edgar.
