A Multi Specialty Clinic

A Multi-Specialty Clinic with A Patient-Centered Approach

At Active Family Chiropractic, we take a very patient-centered approach to the services we offer. We customize our individual chiropractor services based on what you–the patient–need and want. And because we have several highly-trained and experienced healthcare professionals with different specialties working together under one roof, we can also provide integrated treatment plans and coordinated care.

Our overarching goal is to get you out of pain and back to doing what you enjoy as quickly as possible. And while chiropractic treatments, massage and acupuncture are all good for treating active health problems, they’re also great for preventative care as well. That’s why some patients choose to continue care even after they feel better. At Active Family Chiropractic, we believe this is always the patient’s choice. Above all, our team is here to treat you for what you need. This means that in most cases you can call our office and come in on the same day to get exactly what you’re looking for–an affordable, drug- and surgery-free solution for your aches and pains.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care at the Core

Most patients initially come to us for chiropractic treatment, which we provide using a blend of techniques that Dr. Swistak learned at Palmer Chiropractic College and has since expanded through continuing education, postgraduate seminars and over 17 years of clinical experience. Light force manipulation and high velocity manipulation (where you hear the pops and clicks) are both available. Over time, we’ve found that some patients respond better to some techniques than to others. We’ve also found that different patients have a different level of comfort with some techniques.

Chiropractic adjustments may also may be combined with several other therapies–including electrical stimulation, mechanical traction, myofascial release and stretching–depending on the individual patient’s needs. We also have low-tech exercise available in house for patients who require it. Whatever your needs and preferences, we’ll work with you to give you the care you need using the methods you’re most comfortable with.

Onsite Acupuncture

Onsite Acupuncture

In addition to chiropractic care, we have acupuncture available in the office as well. This chiropractor services can be conveniently scheduled as back-to-back appointments as a complement to chiropractic care for the patients that need them. They can also be arranged separately.
