Since opening Active Care in 2006, Dr. Eric McGraw has made the chiropractic adjustment and Active Release the foundation of the office.

Dr. McGraw is currently working on a post-doctorate degree in internal diagnosis. This degree will allow Active Care to thoroughly examine the patient. Once Dr. McGraw has completed the necessary courses, we will offer such tests as urine analysis, EKG, food allergy testing, blood testing, and more.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel and wrist problems usually plague people that are constantly using their hands.  We have successfully treated dental hygienists, carpenters, receptionists, lock smiths, bakers, and many others with this condition.  Most people do not realize that besides the actually carpal tunnel pinching nerves of the wrist, this condition also involves muscles of the forearm and neck.   According to the Bureau of Labor & Statistics and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health, only 23% of all carpal tunnel syndrome patients returned to their previous professions following surgery.

Low Back

If you have low back pain, you are not alone. It is estimated that in the United States, we will spend $50 billion each year on low back pain. As you can see by this video, lower back pain is common in sports as well. Chiropractic care is the number one treatment for lower back pain. Chiropractic care used with active release, and posture exercises yield excellent results with faster recovery times when compared to other treatments.
