“We’re finally back on path"..”

Easton is great kid with a fun outgoing personality. But a few years ago I noticed a dullness in his spirit. He was struggling with his digestion and I didn't know how to help. A visit to Dr. Michaela and we're finally back on the path. Easton recently completed the Bismarck City Kids Marathon and looks forward to many more new opportunities!

“each person has played a role in my journey..”

“It has been quite a journey for me to becoming pain free and stronger. I truly appreciate how they work as a team, communicate between each other to help their clients out in the best way possible. I have been helped literally by everyone there in one way or another. Each person has played a role in my journey. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for me. They are all so personable and welcoming. Connie is an added bonus!!”

“Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical and mental well-being.”

Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical and mental well-being. Over the years, Dr. Sara has been a reliable and understanding chiropractor, providing care that ranges from intense treatment when needed to routine monthly check-ups. Her dedication to accommodating patients, especially those traveling long distances, reflects her commitment to personalized and effective healthcare.

Chiropractic care focuses on ensuring the proper alignment of the spine, which can have profound effects on the body's overall function, helping to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support a healthy nervous system.

  • “know who you are right when you walk in the front door”

    “I’ve been coming here since 2014 and the Active Life team is the best. Dr. Sara is a great chiropractor and person. I’ve joked with my wife (half-joked? Ok, maybe I wasn’t joking) that we can’t leave Bismarck because I know I wouldn’t be able to find another chiro to make me feel as good as I do now. Earlier in my life, I jumped around trying others and no other place was a fit. Dr. Sara also adjusts my wife and 7-year old son and they have both experienced great improvements. Dr. Sara and Dr. Doug have built a great team - with Emily, Paige and the others - who are always warm, welcoming, and know who you are right when you walk in the front door.”

  • “…every single person here makes me feel so welcome and cared for…”

    “Listen, Dr. Brenna is an absolute godsend. Before going to Active Life my blood pressure was insanely high- like constant stroke zone high. Within three weeks it had lowered, my stress was much more manageable, and I quit snoring. I have never ever been so happy with a business. Every single person here makes me feel so welcome and cared for. I have been a regular patient of Dr. Brenna’s for the past few months and have noticed so many changes - better movement of my body, significant decrease in my chronic migraines, and sinus/allergy symptoms. 12/10 recommend. Bonus: the girls up front might be some of my all time favorite people.”

  • “..wish i had gone sooner.”

    “At the age of 51 I sought out chiropractic care for the first time. I had some issues most of my adult life, but had a fear of getting adjusted. I finally took the leap and sought care in the fall of 2023. Dr. Doug and his staff have been wonderful and patient in accepting this “newby”. I now go regularly as I have physically demanding lifestyle and job. I feel better, rarely have headaches, and wish I had gone sooner.”
