A Different Kind of Chiropractic Experience at About Life Chiropractic

At About Life Chiropractic, we specialize in the Activator Method—a gentle, instrument-assisted technique that delivers precise adjustments that is an alternative to traditional chiropractic manipulation.

activator

This approach is ideal for:

  • Pregnancy and postpartum care
  • Seniors, including those with osteoporosis
  • Teens and young athletes
  • Anyone who prefers a softer, safer approach
Activator adjustment

We use a precise, low-force approach tailored to your body's needs. We focus on how your condition is affecting your life—not just your symptoms—so your care actually moves you forward. Pain isn't just about where it hurts. It's about not sleeping well, avoiding activities you love, and feeling limited in your own body.

What to Expect

Your First Visit Starts With Listening We don't rush you in and out. During your first visit, we take time to understand how your condition affects your daily life, what you've tried before, and what you actually want to get back to. From there, we create a care plan tailored to your goals.

Our Services

All designed to support healing and help your body function better:

  • Chiropractic Care

    A natural, whole-body approach focused on improving how your spine and nervous system function. Care is designed to restore movement, reduce tension, and help your body adapt and heal more efficiently. It's ideal for individuals and families looking for a long-term, proactive approach to health.

    Chiropractic Care

  • Activator Method Chiropractic Care

    A precise, low-force chiropractic technique using a handheld instrument to deliver quick, targeted adjustments. It's ideal for patients who want to avoid twisting or cracking, including those with joint sensitivity, pregnancy, or past discomfort with manual care. This approach helps restore movement and improve how the body functions in a controlled, comfortable way.

    Activator Method Chiropractic Care

  • Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

    Gentle, supportive care designed to help your body adapt during pregnancy. Using low-force techniques like the Activator Method and Webster Technique, this care focuses on pelvic balance, comfort, and easier movement. It's ideal for expecting mothers dealing with tension, posture changes, or discomfort.

    Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

  • Pediatric Chiropractic Care

    A safe, low-force approach tailored to children from infancy through their teen years. Care focuses on supporting growth, posture, and movement as their bodies develop. Parents often choose this for general wellness, mobility concerns, or to support active, growing kids.

    Pediatric Chiropractic Care

  • Chiropractic Care for Teens

    Targeted care designed for teens dealing with growth spurts, sports, and daily strain from school or screen time. Using gentle adjustments, this helps improve posture, reduce tension, and support better movement. It's ideal for active teens or those experiencing discomfort.

    Chiropractic Care for Teens

  • Chiropractic Care for Seniors

    A low-force, controlled approach that supports mobility, comfort, and independence as the body ages. This is especially helpful for those with stiffness, joint sensitivity, or conditions like osteoporosis. Care is always adapted to your pace and comfort level.

    Chiropractic Care for Seniors

  • Dry Needling

    A targeted therapy that uses thin needles to release tight muscles and reduce tension. It's often used when muscle tightness isn't improving with adjustments alone. Ideal for patients dealing with stubborn knots or restricted movement.

    Dry Needling

  • Soft Tissue Therapy

    Focused techniques that help loosen tight muscles and improve how tissues move. This may include instrument-assisted work or sound-based therapy. It's helpful for stiffness, restricted movement, or supporting recovery alongside chiropractic care.

    Soft Tissue Therapy

  • Therapeutic Ultrasound

    A non-invasive therapy that uses sound waves to reach deeper tissues and support healing. Patients often benefit when dealing with joint irritation or areas that are hard to treat with hands-on care alone, like shoulders or feet.

    Therapeutic Ultrasound

  • E-Stim Therapy

    A gentle therapy that uses light electrical pulses to relax muscles and reduce tension. It's commonly used for tight or irritated muscles and can help the body respond better to adjustments. Sessions are quick and adjusted to your comfort level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What techniques do you use?

We specialize in the Activator Method, a precise, low-force technique that uses a handheld instrument. This allows us to deliver controlled adjustments. We also use approaches such as the Webster Technique when appropriate, particularly during pregnancy.

What do you help with?

We care for patients of all ages and focus on how the body is moving and functioning. Patients often come in for concerns such as back or neck discomfort, headaches, posture strain, pregnancy-related changes, sports-related issues, or everyday aches from work and daily life. Our goal is to help you return to the activities and routines that matter to you.

Is chiropractic care safe if I've never been adjusted before?

Yes. Many of our patients are new to chiropractic care. We take time to explain each step and use a low-force, controlled approach so you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your visit begins with a conversation about your health history and goals. We perform a focused assessment to understand how your body is functioning and determine where, when, and if an adjustment is appropriate. If imaging is needed, we will discuss that with you and coordinate it. Throughout the visit, we explain what we're doing so there are no surprises.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can schedule directly with our office.
