I could taste hints of Steven Seagal, an aroma of military basic training, and a long after taste of Muay Thai.My favorite Nancy moves include the back punch, the shoulder smack, and the sidekick. and those are just the unarmed ones. when she uses her weapons, they can range from a nailgun to a jackhammer. resistance is futile. The treatment is as effective as it is violent, after a mere 20 minutes of the aforementioned experience, I feel much better than when I walked in, so it definitely pays off. read less

I'd gone to several other chiros and physical therapists with little progress. I was skeptical of the price but a friend insisted that I see him. Dr. Cohen was able to not just address some of the symptoms (back pain, soreness etc.) but help me figure out and work on some of the underlying causes (posture issues, muscle weakness/imbalance). The treatments/appointments are surprisingly short but they work! Particularly if you're in pain, they're worth every penny.After intensive initial treatments for my back, we scaled back to infrequent maintenance appointments.Most recently (i.e., a week ago), my sciatica returned and after a week of trying to fix it myself, I went to see Dr Cohen. He was able to jumpstart the healing, unstick some tight muscles, recommend some home exercises and I now feel a million times better than the week before. Thanks Dr. Cohen! read less

I love the way she is attentive and listens to what my needs are. I like how she incorporates different things into the session that connects the mind and body as well. It is awesome how everything correlates with one another and Nancy's able to take care of the tightness in my muscles and give great adjustments. She also recommended some supplements which has dramatically changed how I feel everyday in a positive way. I highly recommend checking this place out, the best chiropractic care I've been to so far! read less

The treatment and exercises are personalized and tailored to each individual's body and needs. Dr. Cohen and Nancy are extremely knowledgeable about the human body and how it connects with the mind. I had bad migraines and back pain, which have both gone away after seeing Dr. Cohen and Nancy. I couldn't recommend them more! read less

I came in with TMJ problems and headaches, in which she used a technique called Craniosacral that helped alleviate my pain and headaches. I have also played volleyball and basketball for many years now and she was able to address any mechanical dysfunction and acute issues I was dealing with. Thank to Dr. Chu I have remained injury free and have seen improvements in my performance on the court. She cares a lot about her patients, she is personable, and an amazing adjustor. I look forward to every visit with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for chiropractic care. read less

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 felt so much better after my first visit, it was over an hour of examination which I did not expect. It was detailed and she goes go thru every muscle group to find pain and tenderness. it was just amazing to understand why I experience lower back pain all my life! Such life saver for me to choose proactive chiropractic to be my lifelong partner. 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

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

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
