“‘How long until I feel better?’
Sometimes — immediately.
Other times — it takes a few visits to unwind years of stress.
At Pro Active Chiropractic, we set milestones so you know exactly when you’re improving.
This isn’t about temporary relief — it’s about long-term correction.
Stay consistent, and results come faster than you think.”

Can chiropractic improve posture or performance?

“Want to move better, perform better, and feel better — even if you’re not in pain?
That’s where chiropractic shines.
When your spine is aligned, your muscles and joints work efficiently.
Athletes notice more power, office workers notice better posture, and everyone feels more energy.
Pain relief is just the start — performance is the goal.
Train smarter. Live stronger. Stay aligned.”

3 Mistakes Keeping Your Sciatica From Healing

If your sciatica keeps coming back—or never fully goes away—you may be unknowingly slowing your recovery.

Mistake #1: Only treating the pain
Medications and injections may help temporarily, but they don’t fix the nerve irritation causing the problem.

Mistake #2: Too much rest
Avoiding movement for too long can increase stiffness and delay healing. The right movement matters.

Mistake #3: Waiting it out
Sciatica rarely “just goes away” on its own. The longer a nerve stays irritated, the tougher it can be to calm it down.

The good news?
Most cases of sciatica can improve when the root cause is addressed early and properly.

If you’re tired of chasing temporary relief and want real answers, we’re here to help.

“Here’s the science in 30 seconds.
Your spine houses your nervous system — your body’s communication network.
When bones or joints shift out of alignment, they interfere with those signals.
That causes pain, tension, and dysfunction.
A chiropractic adjustment restores normal motion and nerve flow.
Think of it like rebooting your body’s operating system.
Better alignment. Better function. Better life.”

“Do we really ‘crack’ your back?
Not exactly.
That sound you hear — it’s just gas bubbles releasing when joints move normally again.
Nothing’s breaking or popping out of place!
We can also adjust without the sound using gentle instruments.
At Pro Active Chiropractic, we tailor your care to your comfort.
So whether you love the ‘pop’ or prefer quiet — we’ve got you.”

IMAGINE IF YOU ONLY HAD ONE CAR TO DRIVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE...
You would service it on time.
You would fuel it properly.
You would listen to every strange sound.
You would protect it from damage.
You wouldn’t abuse it and hope it somehow survives.

🧍 Now realize this:
You only get one body for your entire life.

No replacement.
No upgrade.
No second copy.

Yet many people treat their bodies with less care than a rented vehicle.

🍃 Buddhism reminds us that the body is not separate from the mind.
When the body is neglected, the mind suffers.
When the body is respected, the mind becomes clearer and calmer.

The Buddha taught the Middle Path — not extreme indulgence, not harsh neglect.
Care for the body wisely, because it is the vehicle for awakening.

🧘 A tired body makes meditation difficult.
🥗 A mistreated body clouds awareness.
😔 A neglected body limits compassion — starting with yourself.

Taking care of your body is not vanity.
It is responsibility.
It is gratitude.
It is wisdom.

🌱 Eat mindfully.
🌱 Move daily.
🌱 Rest deeply.
🌱 Breathe consciously.

Your body carries you through every joy, every loss, every lesson, every breath of this life.

🕊️ You don’t honor life by ignoring your body.
You honor life by caring for it with awareness.

✨ One body.
✨ One life.
✨ Treat it with respect.

“If you struggle with headaches, migraines, or sciatica — listen up.
Chiropractic care targets the cause, not just the pain.
We correct pressure points in your spine and nerves that trigger those flare-ups.
Our patients often say, ‘I didn’t realize my headaches were coming from my neck.’
Once alignment is restored, relief follows naturally.
Don’t mask the pain — fix it.”

“Here’s what your first visit looks like.
Step 1 — we listen. You’ll share what’s been bothering you.
Step 2 — we examine posture, mobility, and maybe take x-rays if needed.
Step 3 — Dr. Stiffey reviews your results and explains what’s going on — in plain English.
Then we build a plan together.
Most patients say, ‘That was so different from what I expected.’
If you want answers, not guesses, schedule your first visit now.”
