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

I had assumed that the stiffness and achiness in my knees were due to arthritis and that I had to give up running and exercise classes. Wrong! Turns out it wasn't even a knee problem but rather a result of hip imbalance. After a couple of sessions with Dr. Cohen to align things and some easy "homework" exercises, I am back to running, boot camp with squats and lunges and my beloved Zumba, pain-free. He is truly magical and I am so glad to know he's there for me if some other pesky thing comes up that impinges my movement and my enjoyment of physical activity. 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 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

The work she does just feels like pure magic and if I had to sum her up I'd describe her as "Chiropractor 3000". The treatments at Proactive Chiropractic goes beyond just cracking your neck and back. They take a holistic approach in improving your overall health & wellbeing and not just focus on the immediate issues. I originally came in for lower back pain and tightness in neck/shoulder area but after a few treatments not only my ailments went away but I also saw significant improvement in my posture as well. They will also give you exercises to do at home so that you're also doing your part in making improvements as well. Within 2-3 treatments my persistent back pain was gone and every time I walk out of their office my body feels so much better. Overall, I'm SO happy with my experience and I highly recommend you go in for at least the free consultation and see the magic for yourself! 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 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
