Review from Liz T.

So, I stopped reviewing restaurants on Yelp when I realized I was contributing to making hard tables even harder to get, but I don't have to worry about that with ProACTIVE, so I thought I'd get back on the horse. I first visited Dr. Jared in September having suffered a running injury. I was in the middle of training for a 1/2 marathon and knew I was in pretty serious trouble with my knee. I was afraid I needed surgery, but figured a chiropractor would be the least likely to recommend it and thought it was worth a shot.
At my first appointment, Dr. Jared did a very thorough evaluation of the problem to ensure the structural integrity of my leg and knee were in tact (ie: nothing torn, etc). Once that I was determined, and I was able to take a huge sigh of relief, we got down to business. A treatment plan was created to solve the problem and we took off. Here are a couple of things that I really liked...
1) I was never told NOT to run. Dr. Jared told me that when I felt like I could run, I could run, but to build back up slowly. And, although, there was no way I could run when I started treatment (I could barely walk), it was only a matter of a week or so before I was able to go out for short runs again.
2) Massage and physical therapy were both used in addition to my adjustments. I've seen chiropractors in the past and they've adjusted me and that was the end of it, but Dr. Jared's team used massage to help facilitate healing and taught me exercises I could do at home to help as well.
3) There was a beginning, middle, and end to the treatment. At my first consultation, Dr. Jared made it clear that the goal was that I would be healed and not need to continue treatment, and I appreciated that. I like to know that there is an end in sight and that
4) Homework empowered me. I struggled with being unable to run. It really got me down and made me feel like my body was out of my control. But, the exercises I got as homework made me feel like I had some control again and that I could take some responsibility for my healing.
So, it's December now, and I'm back up to my pre-injury mileage. In fact, I have been since the middle of November. I'm pain-free and gained a set of exercises I can use to stretch and strengthen. My treatment is officially over, so I don't have to visit anymore. I'm so happy with my treatment, and I highly recommend Dr. Jared! Hopefully I'll stay healthy, but if I have any problems in the future, I know where to go! -

Ok. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful place, but here are a few. I am very pregnant and took a class that was hosted by Dr. Jared and his staff. When at the class, they were amazing and so nice. The facility is neat, clean, and warm. Today, I got a fantastic massage by Dr. Jared's prenatal masseuse. He was INCREDIBLE. Oh my gosh, I feel like a new person. Hips, lower back pain... gone. I am relaxed, stress-free and ready to birth this baby. Thank you thank you thank you!

I am a mess. Well - at least structurally speaking.
My career as an esthetician has me leaning all over people for hours per day. As a result, my neck, back and arms have borne the brunt of this strain. After succumbing to headaches and various bodyaches, I decided it was time for action. But where to turn?
After doing some research, I decided to give Dr. Jared and ProACTIVE Chiropractic a whirl. Dr. Jared made this nervous nelly feel totally at ease with his professional, yet welcoming, demeanor. He gave me a thorough consultation and assessment, explaining in layman's terms what was up with my spine and what he could do to help me out.
After suffering for several days with a migraine, the adjustment he provided during the very first appointment improved my pain immensely. I honestly walked out of there feeling like a new person, not the Hunchback of Skincare-dame I walked in as. He worked out a treatment plan for me that I have been following and I have been feeling infinitely better since.
Get your cracking/painful/stiff/uncomfortable bones on over to Proactive, stat. Your knees/back/head will be so very glad that you did! -

Let me just start by saying that my back is totally jacked up and so I have seen many chiropractors. I have never once felt the need to write a review for any of them because it was just you basic back crack place.
Dr. Jared does an amazing job and I have already recommended him to many friends and coworkers because he offers more than a back crack. He makes sure you understand what you can do at home (stretches) to strengthen your back and avoid future problems. This place is so great that I actually haven't had a need to go in for quite a while, but I'll probably be headed there soon for an adjustment. -

Dr. Jared is genius.
He has everything you could want in his office and the skills to handle your every need. I have even taken my teenagers there and we have all left in alignment, learned how to handle "injuries" and having spasms/pain GONE! I am a tennis player and he has virtually rid me of tennis elbow/shoulder related pain!
Use him! -

I also had a really good experience with Dr Jared. I went there after a car accident in which I had injured my neck and back. Not only did Dr Jared fixed me, but also he was very understanding and helpful with all the insurance paperwork. He also has an amazing massage therapist. This actually happened months ago, but today I was looking for his address to recommend him with a friend and I decided to share my great experience at Proactive Chiropractic. I highly recommend it!

After suffering through a sports injury for many months, I visited Dr. Jared's office to get an assessment on what I could do to treat my injury. Within weeks I was on my way towards a full recovery, and have now resumed my athletic activities at full strength. We also discussed my nutrition to improve my performance on the field. Highly recommended!

Dr. J is fantastic! I went in severe pain and after the first visit my pain went from a 10 to a 3. Dr. J is bright, kind and personable. He made me feel like I was the most important patient! His hours are unbelievable and he is very thorough! I had always been skeptical of chiropractors but not any more, Dr. J is a great Doc. and person. I highly recommend Proactive.
