Take back Control with ProActiv Health

The foundation of chiropractic is based on addressing joint mechanics through manipulation. The purpose of joint manipulation is to restore a loss of motion in varying joint segments, otherwise known as joint restriction or blockage. After a thorough assessment of the body’s joint motion has been completed, your doctor determines if and where the joint restrictions exist and then restores that motion using joint manipulation, otherwise known as an adjustment. Our doctors have a strong understanding and background in the Motion Palpation Institute, a globally recognized organization that the best adjustors in the world utilize and implement in their practice.  

With the new found joint motion provided by the adjustment, it is imperative to educate the patient how to properly use their body efficiently and effectively to ensure lasting results and tissue change that enables the patient to be able to function optimally for years to come. Our doctors utilize Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization technique, otherwise known as DNS. We are truly passionate at showing you how to move the way the body was designed, and we firmly believe that this form of functional rehabilitation is unapparelled in the world of movement therapy.  

Every joint in the human body has what is known as a directional preference. We utilize this diagnostic and treatment system to arrive at an appropriate direction to move joints and oftentimes make rapid changes and improvements to stubborn and frustrating conditions including disc bulges, disc herniations and stenosis.

We utilize a variety of soft tissue techniques including Active Release Technique, otherwise known as ART, to restore and improve tone and tension of the soft tissues that surround joints. The specific technique utilized by our doctors is dependent upon the condition that is presented by our patients. 

The oldest form of medicine in the world that is still being practiced today. A form of Traditional Chinese Medicine where practitioners believe that the human body has over 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways are essential at creating and maintaining energy flow (Qi, pronounced “chee”) throughout the body that is responsible for overall health and wellbeing. Disruption of the energy flow can be a cause a disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, the flow of energy can be improved, thereby improving health. 

Dry needling was developed as a means to treat trigger points, otherwise known as knots, in muscle tissue. Further research has concluded that dry needling can be used for both acute injuries, such as an ankle sprain, to decrease swelling and stimulate a healing response; as well as for chronic conditions that have been persistent for an extended period of time.

Our doctors have an extensive background In functional medicine and can incorporate nutritional changes and supplementation in order to achieve an optimal level of health and wellness for each patient case when appropriate. 

The six pillars of achieving optimal health, according to Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, are Sleep, Nutrition, Movement, Stress modulation, Sunlight and Social Connection. Our doctors take the time to ensure each and every individual patient is made to feel seen, heard and healed by addressing these six critical components of optimal mental health, physical health and performance. This is referred to as the biopsychosocial model of health. It is no longer believed that pain and dysfunction are represented only by physical tissue fatigue, but rather by the biological, psychological and social aspects of ourselves.
