Services & Techniques

 At Active Lifestyle Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Phoenix office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing safe and effective chiropractic techniques. Dr. West is versatile in her methods, depending on her patients needs. Sometimes, she uses techniques that gently move the restricted joint (techniques such as the Palmer Technique, Diversifed, & Gonstead). Other times, she chooses to use an adjusting instrument or a Drop Table technique to move a restricted joint.  As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Jennifer West has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment that you can trust.

Corrective Exercises

Dr. Jennifer West utilizes her Personal Training Certification to help you with Corrective Care. She will teach you special "blueprint" exercises designed just for you to help strengthen and correct your own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutrition and Vitamin Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Jennifer West can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Customized Foot Orthotics

When your arches are properly supported with orthotics, stress in taken off the knees, pelvis and lower back. This can greatly reduce pain from the feet up. Your balance and foundation begin at the feet and move up into the rest of body. Dr. Jennifer West can recommend custom and non-custom shoe orthotics that are tailored to your specific needs. Be sure to talk with her about customized orthotics and begin to rebalance your body from the bottom - up!
