My journey toward Life Aligned Wellness began over 20 years ago. I saw firsthand how broken the healthcare system was, how sick people were, and how they were not getting the outcome they so desperately needed. Seeing the way people were suffering, I knew in my heart that something had to be said and done to bring awareness into the community and show them a different route.

I wanted to provide something that was really unique to healthcare and show those suffering that they had other options to address their various health challenges. This is why Life Aligned Wellness Center was founded. I created a model of healthcare that is different from what exists today. I believe that health comes from the inside out and that we are born to naturally be healthy and there are a lot of things that get in the way of that.

I don’t believe your first choice should be drugs and surgery, but instead, asking the questions: Why is my body sick, and how do I restore my health? To try and find the root of the problem rather than “treat” each symptom as it comes and play the guessing game.

I believe that a natural healthcare system is essential to honor the body’s natural ability to heal and do what it’s designed to do. In doing so we can start to rely less on drugs and surgery and solve the root of the problem. In hand with that, I believe building relationships with our patients is key to really getting an understanding of where the problem lies and how to start the healing process.

In 2016, Life Aligned Wellness Center partnered with Activate Metabolics to bring an all-natural, no-gimmick, DNA-based weight loss to our community. In 2022 we again partnered with Ward Photonics to bring UltraSlim – a natural, cutting-edge contouring technology to our community as well. Personally, I have cared for over 3000 different practice members who have seen incredible life-changing results.

In my 20+ years of practice, I’ve delivered over a quarter of a million adjustments and have helped patients shed thousands of pounds of unhealthy, unwanted weight. As a result, I have been able to generate a deep impact towards the betterment of our community, I have the experience to guide people towards the best results possible.

This foundation was started in an effort to fix healthcare and I have taken action steps every single day for the past 20 years, generated amazing results, and have learned a lot along the way. We have helped people achieve the results they have been searching for and we hope to help you find yours as well.

Our Vision

I envision a healthcare system that is relationship based, places priority on natural solutions, honors and supports the individual, encourages personal responsibility, encourages proactive care of one’s health, and ultimately delivers a high quality of life.

At the core of this problem, I believe that our culture seems to have forgotten that there are often safer, less invasive, and more effective options available to help our bodies heal and function at their best. Instead we have been led to believe in “quick fixes” and instant results.

As a result, I see so many people that are suffering unnecessarily, simply because they are not aware of natural, safer, more effective solutions.

Our Mission

The Short Answer: Healthcare is broken. We’re here to fix it.

So how do we fix it?

We must start by bringing awareness to this situation. Our community is getting sicker and sicker every day, in so many ways. We must take actionable steps toward bettering our healthcare system, it’s clearly not working.

While conventional treatments are popular and often covered by insurance, this does not mean they are the safest, most effective option available. Many people simply just don’t know there are alternatives to not only treat, but ultimately fix their health challenge in a safe and less invasive manner.

Surgery and drugs should ALWAYS be the last course of action. Healing occurs from the inside out, rather than from the outside in. Our bodies are made to naturally be healthy and heal themselves without the need for drugs and surgery. I do believe there is a time and a place for conventional medicine and procedures, but most of your problems can be solved with less invasive techniques.

It’s easier to maintain great health than it is to regain lost health. Prevention and education are keys to changing the course we are on for future generations.

I want to help my patients understand that getting their health back is a process, not an event. We don’t go from a hundred percent healthy to sick overnight. Our lifestyle as a whole contributes to our health. We cannot ignore your diet, mental health, relationships, or any medications you have been consuming. It’s a long process that often takes years and sometimes even decades to achieve.

Here at Life Aligned Wellness Center, we will provide the very best education, products, services, and support necessary to make sure that we generate unparalleled change in our community’s health and well-being.

Healthy people are Happier people. More happy people make our world better!

Dr. Cox 

Dr. Cox – Founder, Chiropractor

Dr. Cox is the mastermind behind Life Aligned Wellness Center in Tucson and has spent 23 years helping people rediscover their health without relying on endless meds or unnecessary surgeries. He earned his BS in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Northwestern Health Sciences University, equipping him with the expertise to transform lives through chiropractic care. As someone who overcame his own struggles with knee pain, ruptured spinal discs, and more health issues than he’d care to relive, Dr. Cox knew there had to be a better way. Chiropractic care gave him his life back, and now he’s paying it forward, one adjustment at a time.

His favorite part of the job? That “wow” moment when patients realize they’re doing something they thought was impossible – like tying their shoes without wincing or dancing at their kid’s wedding. It’s moments like these that keep him going (along with a cup of black coffee, occasionally sweetened when he’s feeling adventurous).

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Cox is likely biking for 4-5 hours straight – because why not? – or enjoying a quiet family dinner with his wife Jennifer and their four kids. His life motto? “Fall down seven, get up eight.” So, if you’re ready to stand a little taller and feel a whole lot better, Dr. Cox is the guy to help you get back on track. Just don’t be surprised if you catch him biking off into the sunset after your appointment!

Dianna

Operations Support Specialist

Say hello to Dianna, our Operations Support Specialist and the office’s unofficial cheerleader! With nearly 15 years in healthcare (and 9 fabulous years here in Tucson), she’s the maestro of our daily operations. Dianna’s path to healthcare started with her dream of being a mom, which she accomplished early. After a brief stint in nursing, she found her groove as a Certified Biller/Coder, ensuring our behind-the-scenes processes are as smooth as her favorite gummy bears (she’s definitely Team Pineapple!).

Dianna’s talents don’t stop there—she’s a master at insurance billing, team training, and filling in wherever needed. If you’re curious about her secret life, she’s a proud owner of two dogs, six tortoises, three chickens, and two fish! And, just to keep things interesting, she crushes it at Pole Fitness classes.

After a long day of helping patients, you’ll find her enjoying dinner with her family and maybe leveling up in Coin Master. Oh, and did we mention she was Little Miss Arizona at five? Talk about a star!

Her golden rule for everyone? Hydrate! It’s the simplest way to kickstart feeling better. And if you need her, she’ll probably be next door at Starbucks, fueling up with her favorite iced quad shot!

Hallway shot of Chiropractor Angelique.

Angelique

Director of Practice Member Experiences

Meet Angelique, our Director of Patient Experiences and self-proclaimed Cheeto Puff fanatic! With almost 5 years in healthcare, she’s passionate about helping patients find their way to health and happiness. One of her favorite moments? Seeing a patient go from barely standing to walking tall, with tears of joy streaming down their face. When she’s not at work, Angelique loves scrapbooking, baking, and unwinding with a long bath. Her go-to motto? “Just keep swimming!” Her advice to everyone? Be proud of who you are—Cheeto dust and all!

Picture of Aleida

Aleida

Chiropractic Case Manager

Say hello to Aleida, Chiropractic Case Manager extraordinaire at Life Aligned Wellness Center! With years of healthcare experience, she’s all about making patients feel cared for, understood, and ready to take on the world—after some fruit gummies, of course (her secret to powering through busy days). Her most memorable moment? Helping a patient walk out pain-free after years of suffering—his smile said it all!

Outside the office, Aleida loves to sing, play piano, and tackle crochet projects (even if they don’t always turn out quite right). After a long day, she’s happiest with her family, her dogs, and a relaxing hobby or two.

Her go-to motto? “Where there is life, there is hope.” And her advice? Be patient, embrace change, and trust that good things are just around the corner!
