Are you tired of your doctor going straight to pills to reduce your symptoms? Not only are they rising in price, but there always seems to be a long list of potential side effects. The goods news is that there is an alternative in some cases. Acupuncture has been used since 100 BC in China. It was believed that it restored qi (a person's energy flow) to patients which then resulted in health benefits. Its effects have been proven to work for various ailments, making acupuncture a valid choice for those seeking a natural treatment option.
The traditional treatment method of acupuncture is gaining popularity but does it work? Read everything you ever wanted to know about acupuncture for headaches. Suffering from a migraine? Don't dismiss it as a simple headache; it's the third most prevalent illness in the world and it's likely your recurring pain falls into this category too.
There are few things as persistent and uncomfortable as sciatica pain. You've tried everything possible to get rid of the aching in your back, but no matter what you do, nothing seems to stick. If this sounds like you, then it may be time for you to try acupuncture for sciatica. Acupuncture is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years, and has been used to relieve pain from every part of the body - including the back.
Did you know that acupuncture reduces chronic pain, boosts mental health, and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions? Although it's true that there is no magic cure for every disease, acupuncture is an impressive treatment with lots of studied benefits. Are you thinking about trying it out yourself?

After dealing with an extremely painful fall and its effects for a long time, Dr. Stiffey was the only Dr. who really helped the pain and mobility. Even though I had been to several other doctors and a physical therapist, I did not get relief until I visited Dr. Stiffey's office. His staff is also very accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Stiffey and his office.

Doctor was very responsive and listened to my issues. X-ray was done in the office and he showed me the area of concern and we discussed a treatment program. After just a few visits I noticed a great improvement. I have been pain free now for several weeks.

They are extremely accommodating, always have been! They see me, they took care of my youngest when he was brand new and had problems with acid reflux and they have just recently taken care of my 7-year-old when her back was put out of place. Everyone up front is always amazing and Dr stiffy has all 3 of us tremendously! Thank y'all

Dr Stiffey is a great Doctor. I don't go to chiropractors often but when I do he always gets me up and going. Very professional but also personable.

I have definitely found the right place for me and my chiropractic issues. I called the office they got me right in and has helped me the first visit. I was in a lot of pain and left in pain but it was so much better than when I got there to the office. Dr. Scott Stiffy and staff was very concerned and treated me with the care that you don't always get elsewhere. I definitely give them a five star!

Met new doctor for first time. He took the time to explain what he sees in the x-rays and showed me the problem areas and was planning a path to more permanent healing. He explained my neck was pretty bad shape and it will take time to get it better but no hope for back to good as new but hopefully make it more tolerable.

They got me in as a new patient the day I called. Everyone was extremely nice and the doctor was very nice as well. Listened to your problems, took X-rays, and talked through them with with me in a way I could fully understand what was going on and set up a plan going forward. Highly recommend!

This was my first visit to Pro Active Chiropractic. The receptionist and doctor were very nice. I scheduled my appointment because I was having terrible hip pain. The doctor addressed my neck issues too. After my appointment with Dr Stephens both my hip and neck felt better. But about an hour later I had no hip pain at all. Amazing since I was in pain with every movement before my arrival. I will be back in order to keep myself out of pain.

Dr. Scott was great! He spent the time asking questions, reviewing my x-rays, and explaining everything! I felt confident I was in great hands, and I felt so much better after my adjustment! I love that he is going to review my x-rays more in depth, and decide on a long term treatment to help me out! Also got me in very quickly!

I highly recommend pro active chiropractic, from my first appointment to several weeks later the staff is very welcoming, patient and great at listening. Dr. Scott does an amazing job, anytime I go in and my back is hurting I leave feeling a 100 times better. He is very responsive and professional, and makes sure you know what to expect while getting adjusted. I'm so glad I found such a great place I can trust and to help me recover.

I got right in at my appointment time and Dr Scott took time to ask not just about my chiropractic issues but my overall well being. He is always so polite and kind. I got my neck adjusted and was on my way. He isn't one of those that make you return 40 more times. He provides for my needs in an excellent manner.

Dr. Stiffey has really helped my back. I thought I was going to have to get back surgery, but I feel great now. I always love coming to his office. Everyone is so friendly, and I always feel better when I leave.
Linda Powell
Very friendly and was able to see the dr the same day I called will definitely go back
Ava Smith
Dr. Stiffey has really helped my migraines. I used to take different meds all the time but they didn't really help. Just blocked the pain for a while. After going through a treatment plan I never have any headaches.
Brandi Dreyer
Today was my first visit and I was not disappointed. I have been to the chiropractor many times... this was my best experience so far. It was more than just about adjusting my back/ neck and sending me on my way. I will definitely be going back!
Chelsea Johnson
Dr. Stiffey and his staff are truly AWESOME! The way Scott practices & educates speaks for itself! I will definitely recommend Pro Active Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a upright health provider!
