Excuses, Excuses

 “A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.”
~ Spanish Proverb

Trust us, we’ve heard it all.

Everyone is guilty of not going to the doctor, and we all have our reasons why we do or do not visit their doctor, dentist, optometrist and of course, chiropractor.

We've put together some of the most common excuses we hear and something to think about before you decide if skipping that next chiropractic session is worth it.

Patient Reviews

“Dr. Sara and Dr. Doug and the staff are so awesome and always very friendly.  I recommend them to anyone in any pain.  Not just back and neck pain!”

- Nicki W

“Jill was diagnosed at a very young age with Cerebral Palsy. Jill stated to get adjusted by Dr. Sara and in a few short months they started to see huge improvements! Jill now walks very smooth and fluent.”

-Jill

“We hesitated on taking Piper to a chiropractor! My husband and I thought it would be someone cranking on her little neck and that just seemed awful to do to her; but it is nothing like that! It’s gentle to the touch, massages and stretches. It is one of the best things I could have done for my daughter!”

“We would recommend the 21 day cleanse to anyone who is sick and tired of feeling bloated, tired, overweight, unhappy with your appearance and just wanting to do something really good for yourself and your family.  So go ahead, what have you got to lose?”

 

“I have been seeing Dr. Weigel for several years and have always been pleased with the service provided.  My life changed on October 10, 2007 when I was injured by a rocket attack in Baghdad, Iraq. I started seeing Dr. Weigel to assist with pain management, and she was incredible in not only reducing the daily pain issues, but astonishingly, she assisted with my hearing loss. I am a firm believer in chiropractic care and receive the best from Active Life Chiropractic.”

-JP

“Before coming to Active Life, my back and neck pain prevented me from being active at home because my job is physically demanding. Now, I get adjusted regularly and I am able to work all day and spend time with my family at home without being in constant pain.”
- Dylan M

“Any chiropractor I had been to before was a ‘come when you need it’ type of place, and I truly believe the routine maintenance that Dr. Doug and staff suggests is a way better approach to overall comfort and health. I have been seeing Dr. Doug for about 2 years and can’t imagine how life would be if we didn’t find him.


-Kara T

“Returning to Bismarck from a ski trip in Colorado, I grabbed the duffel bag off the carrousel and the pain in my back literally took me to my knees. I decided to try a chiropractor. I talked to a few people and decided to call Active Life. The pain was better after a few visits. After just four weeks, my foot is almost back to normal and I am walking much better. I’m looking forward to a hike in the Black Hills, another trip to Denver and next year hiking in Glacier Park.”

-Phil Viton

“I was having major pain in my right wrist, I could barely grab anything without tremendous pain. I went to see Dr. Weigel and I was 100 % pain free in about a month. I truly believe in chiropractic care because for one you WILL save you money in the long run by using chiropractic care instead of going to the clinic and maybe getting some surgery you don’t need. For another it has helped me in my life to continue forward without pain.”

-Michael

“At 8 months old our daughter, Ella, continued to show “colicky” traits such as inconsolable crying and general discomfort. I was apprehensive about seeking chiropractic care, as I thought it would be invasive and scary for my baby. However, the care at Active Life was just the opposite. The adjustments were gentle and everything was explained before treatment was given. After the recommended treatment Ella seemed so much more content, happy, and interactive.”

-Cassy and Ella
