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

She was knowledgeable, gentle yet strong in areas that needed it. I've heard good things about chiro while pregnant, but I was nervous. Nancy made me feel really comfortable through the whole process and it was super helpful. I highly recommend going to her for any of your adjustment needs!! read less

Cohen for a shoulder issue and I was blown away. His knowledge of human anatomy is unparalleled and, although it was pretty freaky when he demonstrated how body responds to certain trigger points, I was blown away by the effectiveness of his treatments.

5 treatments in, I have made significant improvements on my shoulder health AND he has made my sleep quality so much better by treating the muscles in my jaw.

He is also a kind human being and made it easy for me to share my story.

So basically he is an utterly knowledgeable man-witch.

Can't recommend enough! read less

At first I didn't understand why she told me to close my right eye, and then after, my left eye, put my hands together up in an air. But!!! After she adjusted me and used multiple analogies, I was able to understand that she was trying to realign my body! And a couple of adjustments after, I was healed! My neck pain that was killing me for more than a week was gone, feels incredible, I could sleep again without pain! Wow! She looks tiny but trust me, she is knowledgeable, experienced and her practice is magic! I recommend her to everyone! Dr. Nancy, you are a saver! Thank you so much!!! Billion stars for you!!!! 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

I paid ProActive a visit after experiencing some long-standing rib pain from a heavy squat session.
I'd been to a couple chiropractors before finding ProActive, but never really had my issues resolved.

Doctor Chu was able to identify the issue, and showed me some underlying imbalances that contributed to my injury. I always leave the office feeling better, and I get homework to do at home to accelerate my recovery and prevent future injuries.

I was well enough after my visit to do my first powerlifting meet the following weekend. Don't hesitate to come to ProActive if you're in need of relief. read less

However, after seeing multiple great reviews about Proactive, I decided to give it a shot. I can happily say that they've made me feel much better already after a few visits!

The entire staff is very kind and makes you feel at home. They also make it a point to help you understand what's going on with your body and how you can relieve aches and pains on your own. Highly recommend! read less

They are extremely thorough, they understand that my goal is to get back to moving and doing what I love and I've never had an issue they couldn't figure out. I can't recommend this place highly enough. I wish there was a 6 star option! read less

I originally went in for a deep knot in my back, but Nancy helped me with other chronic injuries, like my knee surgery or my injured finger. For both of those injuries, I had already mentally accepted that they would never feel normal ever again, but she proved me wrong by returning them back to their original non injured state. Both Nancy and Andrew are also incredibly friendly, approachable, and are extremely knowledgeable. They will not only treat you for your current problems but will also help you prevent any further problems from occurring.

If you have any worries about your health at all, I highly recommend booking an appointment! read less

I've had it for the past few years, and seen multiple chiropractors which gave me a variety of diagnosis but no success fixing it. I recently started training for a marathon so the injury became a serious problem.

I visited ProActive Chiropractic and saw Dr. Cohen. He identified that the pain was due to a rib that was out of alignment. He adjusted my rib and provided a few exercises that helped immediately!

My last few appointments have been with Dr. Chu since Dr. Cohen was booked. I've continued to get better under the care of Dr. Chu. She's a great adjuster and very knowledgeable. I'm finally back to running with no pain! read less

I always thought chiropractors would focus on the back but I like the holistic approach the doctors at ProActive take.
I saw Dr.Chu for my initial assessment and she walked me through the process and would work on each area of the body and see what I may need help on. My foot pain is what we've decided to work on, the initial appointment is really helpful to better understand what the body might need help with, she will adjust each area and move on if those areas, should,back, etc. don't need any help. She gave me exercises and goals to work on for the following sessions.
The second session was more focused on targeting my foot and adjustments needed. I was able to work on the exercises she provided and worked building balance and foot strength in yoga as well. After her adjustments in the first and second session I could feel improvement in my foot pain and can tell the adjustments and exercises are making a difference.
I recommend Dr.Chu and ProActive for anyone with pain or stiffness, it's been helpful to work on my foot while training for my next race.

Their office also has informative sessions every 6 weeks or so on taking care of various areas of the body which I thought was a nice plus, if you bring a friend those sessions are free! read less
