    One day at work an email came through to the administrative assistants of the Arts & Letters College at Notre Dame asking if anyone knew of a good chiropractor because the Dean of the College needed one. (The Dean ultimately oversees all employees of the College.) I immediately picked up the phone and called to let them know about "the most wonderful chiropractic office", not wanting him to go anywhere else. The Dean's assistant said, "Are you sure? I've got 4 others telling me they know the best place too." I said "Well, only if they're all telling you Active Health and Wellness Center." It turns out that within five minutes of the email request for the best Chiropractic office, five people rushed to let them know to go to Active Health and Wellness. I don't think he could have gotten a better recommendation for a place than that.

  • Soccer Mom Seeks Relief
    Like many “Soccer Moms”, I’m so caught up with caring for my husband and four children, sometimes caring for myself gets overlooked.

    Like many “Soccer Moms”, I’m so caught up with caring for my husband and four children, sometimes caring for myself gets overlooked. But luckily, trying to help my 19-year-old daughter ended up helping me … a lot! Our daughter, Maria, ran competitively in High School and pulled a muscle in her leg; it looked like she might miss a good portion of the season. My husband, a firefighter, heard about Active Health when Dr. Mick made a presentation at the station, and, anxious to help Maria, suggested we try Active Health to get her back to the track sooner through rehab. With their focused efforts and comprehensive treatments, her recovery was far quicker than expected and soon she was running full steam again. About that same time, I was having difficulty sleeping, troubled by pain in my neck. (You other moms can probably relate to that!) Having never experienced chiropractic care before, I was slightly skeptical --- but hopeful! --- that the treatments would help my pain as much as they had Maria’s. I was surprised at how much each treatment included: time in the massage chair (my favorite!), ultrasonic treatments, deep tissue massage, stretching, the adjustment and exercises for me to do at home to help keep me limber and hold the adjustment longer. Not only did Active Health relieve my discomfort, their efforts soon allowed me to adjust to a “come-when-you-need-it” schedule after just a few weeks. Unlike horror stories I’d heard of the never-ending appointments with other chiropractors, everybody at Active Health is really focused on getting me well and helping me not come back as often. They always work to get me back up to “Super Mom” speed as quickly as possible. Wow, what a refreshing attitude! (And did I mention that the entire staff is friendly and accommodating? They’re the best!) So, ladies, here’s the best advice I can give you: You can only care for your family if you take care of yourself. And nobody takes better care of me than Active Health! Aren’t you worth it, too? Wishing you the best! Susan Catanzarite South Bend

She finally did in December and here's what she emailed me after her first visit: "I had my appointment at Active Health this morning. All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I should have listened to you and went to them years ago! They are so nice and I am so glad that I went." All I can say is I told her so!

  • Chiropractic Skeptic Becomes Believer

    Dear Dr. Case,

    Thank you for helping me to be active and well for the first time in eighteen years. I’m so grateful for your guidance, treatment plan and follow-up. These have proven invaluable in my every day life.

    Dear Dr. Case,

    Thank you for helping me to be active and well for the first time in eighteen years. I’m so grateful for your guidance, treatment plan and follow-up. These have proven invaluable in my every day life.

    I was the world’s greatest “chiropractic skeptic” and had no intention of ever stepping foot in any chiropractic office. What changed my mind? Several things… My symptoms sounded like a television commercial. My fingers were numb, I couldn’t tie my shoes because of the stiffness, couldn’t mow my yard without muscle spasms, my limited movement made it impossible to play basketball with my boys, and on and on. However, the one thing that most convinced me to visit your office was the frequent testimonials from people who you had helped. I never once heard anything bad or negative about you or your staff.

    I knew I had done the right thing after just one visit to your office. This may sound like hype but it’s the honest truth, I felt better after that first appointment. So much better that I continued treatment and am so glad I did.

    Today, I am a different person. I can feel my fingers, tie my shoes, mow my yard and play basketball with my boys. When I start to feel stiffness, aches or pains, I have the discernment to back off or use the tactics you taught me to stretch them out. The changes have been phenomenal.

    Please thank your staff for their part. All the doctors are a pleasure to work with. The front and back office staff is great. I never had to wait in the reception area, was always greeted by name and with enthusiasm. Everyone treated the patients and each other in the most professional manner.

    I have and will continue to refer everyone to Active Health and Wellness. Every person I have referred to you has said the same thing… “They did more for me in one visit than my other doctor did in six months.” “They know what they’re doing.” “The staff is great.”

    Thanks again!!
