Thank you for visiting the Active Healing Center’s website. I am Dr. Tom Gustafson, owner of the Active Healing Center. I opened this office February of 2001 and will be celebrating our tenth (10th) year in business.
Many people have asked me the question, “why did I become a chiropractor?” The answer is simple. Growing up I was an avid baseball player and like most kids had huge aspirations of becoming a professional athlete.
At the begining of my ninth grade baseball season I hurt my right (throwing) shoulder and with each throw my shoulder hurt. The symptom was more irritating than painful but needed to be addressed. I was referred to a local Orthopaedic who recommended I sit the season out. This was far from the answer I expected and proceded to find resolution with two local chiropractors Marc and Stephen Johnson. Within a month I felt great with absolutely no shoulder issues.
My interest in health and exercise proceded to grow and eventually learned our body’s have a distinct and proper structure and function to it. When we deviate from that structure and function for whatever reason (auto accidents, sports injuries or wear-and-tear over time) the door is left wide open for problems to exist and manifest.
My goal is to work with you getting your body to work at it’s proper level and we have a variety of ways to help us achieve that goal.
