Nancy did a great job keeping me informed on what was going on with specific muscles and joints, as well as keeping a lighthearted fun environment as she continued with adjustments and treatments.

As a frequent rock climber, my back and shoulders have always felt quite tense, but after working with Nancy the past couple of months I feel like my overall posture and condition has improved tremendously. Doing your own part and following through with the prescribed exercises is also a big part of the treatment plan, so having the accountability and encouragement throughout helped a bunch.

Between the awesome chiro experience and fun/welcoming office staff (s/o to Nicole), I would highly recommend ProActive! read less

I was injured in a serious ski accident in March of 2015. A snow boarder lost control, his board released, and the board struck me right in the knee cap. I suffered an open wound multiple compound fracture of the patella. I had emergency surgery in South Lake Tahoe that night, during which screws and wire were used to put the salvageable pieces of my patella back together. I began PT a few weeks later and diligently did my many excises, and went to my follow-up doctor's appointments, as prescribed. Over two years later I was still in near constant pain, walking only out of necessity. I had multiple MRIs, bone scans, tried braces, saw different types of specialist, and tried a variety of alternative treatments. I finally decided to undergo a second surgery to have the hardware in my knee removed, thinking that might be the cause of my pain. After that surgery I was no longer poked by the screws and wire, but unfortunately the deep, persistent, knee pain was still there. Another year + went by and I wasn't getting any better. Having previously been a very active person, my world felt very limited and small. I was loosing hope and starting to wonder if this was my new long-term reality. It was a random encounter with an old friend, while dropping off our kids at soccer, where I first heard about the "amazing" Dr. Cohen. I went to see Dr. Cohen in October of 2018. After hearing my history and examining me, he said he thought he could help. I couldn't allow myself to get my hopes up, but signed on and followed his plan. At first I went to appointments twice a week, and after a few months I began taking Arthroben. Dr. Cohen was getting my muscles that had been dormant to fire again. His adjustments were putting my body back into alignment. By January I was having days of comfort and had the ability to take short walks, just for the fun of it! From there things continued to improve, and I'm overjoyed to say that my world (although not as big as before my injury) has gotten a whole lot bigger. I can walk 5 miles for exercise now. I can be a more active participant in my children's lives again. I have days that are pain free. It's been life changing. If you're living with pain and/or an injury I encourage you to see Dr. Cohen. I honestly have no idea how his methods work, but they work. He's a true healer. He's also a great person and cares about all his patients. These days I see him every 2-3 weeks, and it's often more for back, neck, hip discomfort that he helps me with. Nancy is also fantastic and has given me great treatments as well. Zach in the front office is kind, competent and funny. I give Proactive Chiropractic my highest recommendation. read less

I have completed a full package of 6 sessions with Dr. Nancy Chu and am nothing but impressed with her kindness and skills. Rather than just doing one quick adjustment where we might hurt, each appointment is 20 minutes long where they test all the muscles in the body to make sure everything is activated and aligned. I appreciate knowing that they want to bring healing to everything that might be contributing to our pain rather than only relieving the pain. read less

I had never been comfortable with anyone doing adjustments on me in the past but both Dr. C and Nancy have always made me feel really comfortable through the whole process and never pushed beyond my comfort level. I definitely feel like I'm in great hands and my previous hesitations about adjustments have ceased. As a mom with a one year old and a three year old I'm constantly throwing my body out of whack but my sessions here have helped restore my physical health by leaps and bounds. I started running again and with their support I'm feeling really good. The treatments are great and the exercises they've given me to do at home are simple and realistic to incorporate into my daily routine. I'll definitely be coming back routinely for maintenance work. read less

Dr. Chu and Dr. Cohen are a perfect team and I can tell they care about their patients. I saw Dr. Chu for upper back and neck pain after sitting and working on my computer for hours. She was able to identify the regions that were contributing to my pain by testing my muscles....I was mind-blown!! After the adjustment I felt immediate relief! We created a treatment plan together customized to my conditions which I really appreciated. I learned a lot about how my habits have contributed to my pain. I also learned that they can help with concussions, jaw pain and headaches too!! Dr. Chu is honest, personable, caring and puts her patients first. She is extremely thorough! Thanks again!!! read less

I had a left shoulder issue which two Chiropractors I've seen in the past could not fix. It hurt everytime I performed overhead presses or pull ups. After the first visit I was able to do those movements without any pain!

The techniques she uses were almost like she was performing magic, after every adjustment my muscles would react normally. She was very thorough in explaining exactly why my muscles were not working in certain positions and why she was making certain adjustments.

My lower back problem was resolved and I was also consulted to fix my posture when sitting and standing so this does not reoccur

I could go on and on, but overall I've been extremely happy with my treatments and feel like I have more control over my body. read less

She used a wide variety of tools and techniques (including active release, cupping and to get me back into top surfing shape - now I feel awesome after a long day out in the line-up!

Don't let looks fool you, she may look young and dainty but she answered every one of my questions with ease and had no problem adjusting my 6' 2" frame! I was very impressed.

After my visit, I spoke with my younger brother who is going through a few health issues and recommended to visit ProActive. He had the best experience and is now a regular patient like me! read less
