I started coming to ProActive in early 2017 because of general aches and pains due to my job (I sit at a desk for a big part of the day). Throughout the years I've transitioned to see mostly Dr. Chu and I can't tell you how much she's helped me. After a car accident and some other minor incidents, I started to have a variety of back issues which culminated in very crooked walking and barely being able to take 3 steps without a massive muscle spasm. Dr. Chu got me through it and I have been walking upright and spasm free for almost a year. Treatment isn't always pleasant (I'm convinced Dr. Chu could beat the crap out of most men I know) but I always leave feeling great. I can't imagine going anywhere else for chiropractic care. If you're just looking for somebody to crack your back and shove you out the door until next week, then ProActive is likely not your jam. But if you're looking for doctors that take the time to explain the "whys" of your injury/pain and show you how to prevent re-injury, then this is the best place to go. The philosophy of care here is truly spectacular. I don't know what shape I'd be in if it wasn't for Dr. Chu and Dr. Cohen. I'm extremely grateful I've found ProActive! read less

As opposed to other chiropractors I've seen in past, they don't have standard manipulations that are one-size-fits-all. Their approach is more thoughtful and tailored to issues my body is experiencing. I've gone in to get treated for shoulder pain and finger numbness, likely due to a prior concussion. They have certainly helped! They have good COVID-19 hygiene routines to keep areas sanitized as well. read less

He gives you lifestyle adjustments, not just body adjustments. Dr. Cohen has coached me on how to move my arms as I walk to prevent a (previously) recurrent problem, shown me how to properly wear my backpack/what kind to buy, made me orthotics, given me daily exercises (that I actually do bc they work!) and sent me to other physicians when he saw symptoms of my other body systems needing some care. Yes he of course does chiropractic adjustments as if he was born doing them, but he does so much more than that, making him stand head and shoulders about the rest. He and his staff are kind, funny, welcoming, and are easy to work with. You're family as soon as you walk in the door with this team 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

Dr. Chu is a miracle healer, I feel like a new person, the pain I had in my neck, shoulders, and my bottom all disappeared after my session.
Nancy works her magic with a very cool mix of Chiropractic, Trigger Points, Kinesiology Techniques.
My iliac crest was very tight, (its a tendon), it's painful to stretch, Nancy relived my Iliac, with lots of laughter, I laughed into the intense pain 😉 Nancy is very charming and down to earth, she makes you feel at ease instantly, and she gets the job done, she is small, but a powerhouse.
I went in a foot short than when I came out, I had ridden 100 miles last weekend, akes in my bones, my deep tissues, and tendons all got released, so much so that when I finally stood up from the bench, my bra was undone 😉 bravo Dr, Chu...
Why live with pain in your body, when you can get relief in one visit and live your life pain free-with a visit to ProActive Chiropractic, I highly recommend Dr. Nancy Chu read less

For about 8 months I had been trying to fix my frozen shoulder. I went several times a week to my regular chiropractor and saw an acupuncturist; I went to the orthopedist and the physical therapist, but none of them made any headway in the 8 months of trying After only a couple of weeks at ProActive I could already begin to move my arm more! Now it's been a couple of months and I'm about 80% fixed. They truly understand how the body works and how it's all connected, and what to do to get you going again. Also, they are very pleasant people and super friendly. read less

I started coming after years of back and neck pain from sports injuries, car accidents and sitting at a desk and within several months feel normal again! Their treatment methods are not just traditional adjustments where they "crack" a few things - they really take time to examine the root joints or muscles causing things to be off. After a tune-up visit with them, I feel so much better! Highly recommend them for skeptics of traditional chiropractic treatment! read less
