A Family Affair
I started at Active Life when (after both knees being replaced) the doctor said I might need hip replacement surgery. My daughter told me to try Dr. Sara first. It was one of the best decisions of my life. She not only helped my hips, Dr. Sara has helped and eliminated my carpel tunnel, shoulder trouble, lower back pain and of course my hips. When my mother, Caroline, had trouble with her lower back and one leg being shorter than the other, I took her to Dr. Sara also. Mom was so surprised at how much this helped her. Dr. Sara keeps both legs level and she walked so well now with just the help of a cane to assist her. Did I mention my mom will be 91 years old?? Best of all, the treatments really lessen the pain in Mom’s lower back.
My sister, Carry, moved to Bismarck a couple years ago after the death of her husband. She had a curve in her spine and one collar bone higher than the other. She walked a little bent over and to the side. Of course, I asked her to go for an evaluation at Active Life Chiropractic. She saw Dr. Doug who treated her. It took a little time but her whole gait has changed. She now walks straight up, and with maintenance treatment, the pain is gone.
It amazes me, when someone goes to the chiropractor after years of pain and expects a one treatment cure. It takes time and some treatments to undo what the years have done. Be patient. Active Life also has the best staff I’ve seen in any business. The office staff cares and are always so helpful and so free with their sweet smiles. We are so appreciative of all of you.

Lifelong Chiropractic
I have benefited from chiropractic all my life. While in grade school I had problems with my feet and scoliosis, and chiropractic helped me with those issues. I was doing pretty well and had taken a break from chiropractic. Life was busy. After moving to Bismarck from Hazen I was experiencing new pains in my back and especially my arm. I found Active Life through a TV commercial, and I am feeling so much better since getting back to chiropractic.
Everyone at Active Life is so pleasant. I get in, they take care of me, and I am on my way. With encouragement from Dr. Doug I know I will get to where I want to be through diet, exercise, and getting back to the gym. Life is mare pleasant and pain free!
I would recommend Active Life Chiropractic to anyone who wants to be healthy, feel good, and live pain free!

Worth the Trip!
My son struggled from birth with constipation issues. I found Active Life online, and even though we live three hours away Active Life looked like a very family friendly chiropractor to take my son to. After coming here for several visits we began to see a change in him. He wasn’t struggling to go to the bathroom. He also would clench his fists, and we noticed that after seeing Dr. Doug he has been a much healthier little boy!
We have brought our daughter here from the time she was born and have never had any health issues with her. I believe that is mainly from the care she has always received.
Also, I have to mention that we have never had any problem getting an appointment. The staff and doctors have always been very helpful.

Natural Approach
I believe strongly in using natural approaches with health., but I had issues with my hips. The pain and numbness was so bad that I could hardly stand. I was seeking help in the medical world and was waiting to see a specialist. I made an appointment at Active Life and saw Dr. Doug, and I ended up canceling the appointment with the specialist. I am no longer missing work and functioning like a typical mother pain free!
My daughter suffered from digestive issues. She complained of her tummy hurting and developed a fear of eating. With chiropractic through Active Life, she is missing less school and has fewer bathroom issues and less anxiety.
I enjoy coming to Active Life because it has a homey feeling. I appreciate the wonderful education the doctors share with patients on how the body works. I gladly refer people to Active Life for the natural approach!

Relief
I am a huge believer in chiropractic care! The pain in my back was so severe I could barely walk without having pain through my whole back. Going to Dr. Sara has relieved the pain, and I can get up and down without feeling as though I am losing my breath. The staff got me in ASAP and Dr. Sara does a great job relieving me from any pain and discomfort I have. Active Life Chiropractic has always been so friendly and caring. They treat me like family and take time to listen to your problem(s) when you come in. I would recommend anyone with doubts about chiropractic care to go to Active Life Chiropractic to feel better and have a healthier life!

Maintenance a Must
I have seen a chiropractor since 6th or 7th grade. I used to have headaches all the time. Through regular chiropractic care my headaches are under control. My job requires me to work at a desk, and I strongly believe that if I didn’t see Dr. Weigel on a regular basis I would have many more issues to deal with. At Active Life I appreciate that I can get in and out in a timely manner and on with my day. I have referred many people to Active Life Chiropractic because I truly believe in it!

Don’t Hesitate… Improvement Is Evident!
The pain, prior to chiropractic care, often made sitting at work very uncomfortable and negatively affected my sleep patterns. By coming into Active Life Chiropractic for regular, scheduled care, I have obtained significant relief for the work day and have a better night’s sleep. I am still waking up a couple times, but am able to go right back to sleep.
To those experiencing similar issues, I advise to not hesitate to seek care. Just like preparing for a sports season, one’s muscles need to be trained to be in the right position vs. out of alignment as they are accustomed. It takes some time, but the improvement becomes very evident and is greatly appreciated as the day becomes so much more enjoyable.
Thanks Doc!

Adjusted Since Birth, Healthy for Life!
Honestly, I can’t tell you any dramatic stories about how my kids’ health has improved after they started chiropractic care at Active Life, but this is because my kids have both been adjusted since birth. In fact, my son, Henry, was adjusted 14 minutes after he was born!
What I CAN attest to is that because Evelyn and Henry get their spines checked regularly, they have so rarely been sick! Neither of the kids have ever had an ear infection, been on antibiotics, or even visited a medical doctor because of an illness. I attribute this to a combination of getting adjusted regularly, being breastfed, and having a healthy diet.
They do go to daycare, where there is always something going around. However, the majority of the time they never “catch” whatever virus their friends have and when they do get sick the severity of their symptoms and the length of their colds are REMARKABLY milder compared to their peers’. When they do get sick, we just get them adjusted a little more often than normal and watch their little immune systems go to work!

I Thought I was Beyond Repair!
Prior to coming to Active Life my neck was what I felt was “beyond repair!” It affected every aspect of my life, especially keeping up with my love of photography. Dr. Doug worked with me and between adjustments, exercises, and general healthy living advice it is a million times better! Going to the chiropractor consistently keeps me loose and feeling well. Whatever ailment I have, the doctors work hard at finding a solution. The atmosphere is fun and caring. The benefits go far beyond the “crack.” :) I would recommend everyone add it to their regime for total wellness!

Medical Doctors Couldn’t Help
I am a local law enforcement officer and as such, back pain makes my job impossible to do. I have suffered from back pain on and off for several years and carrying around several pounds of added weight on a belt did not help my back. After seeing different MDs and having MRIs done, all they could say was, “Nothing is wrong with your back, but I can prescribe you some pain killers.” Did the pain killers help? Sometimes… but usually not.
I then went out on a limb and figured I’d try a chiropractor. Dr. Doug was recommended to me by a friend who was seeing Dr. Doug on a regular basis. Going in, I didn’t know whether or not it would work, but I was willing to try something, as I had been in severe pain for several days and had to take time off work since I couldn’t move since I couldn’t move. Amazingly, after only a few visits it started getting better. I have now been a patient of Active Life for two years and not only am I seldom having random back pain anymore, but I feel better about life in general. I now see Dr. Doug on a regular maintenance basis, unless work causes me to come get extra adjustments due to stress or injuries. Thank you!

I Just Love Coming Here!
Before coming to Active Life, I had low back and neck issues that were the results of sleeping on a bad mattress and being involved in a car accident. These pains kept compounding until finally they were so bad that I could barely walk or bend down to brush my teeth or tie my shoes. I decided it was time to finally try chiropractic. That was five years ago. I still come in monthly to maintain my spinal health and I just love coming here! I really look forward to the days that I have appointments scheduled. Dr. Sara and Dr. Doug have helped me so much with their adjustments and health advice. Currently, I am having problems with major weakness in my arm that has really interfered with a passion of mine- lifting weights. Before getting adjusted I cannot even lift my right arm, but after Dr. Sara adjusts it I have full range of motion.

A Family Affair
Our daughter, Kelsey, originally came to see Dr.Doug for her back pain. After seeing how Dr. Doug helped her, my husband, Steve, and I started to see Dr. Doug. With his help and his positivity, our backs and necks have been getting better. Also, the staff here is so helpful! I would recommend Active Life to anyone- and I have! Two thumbs up for all the staff, also.

Life-long Patient
My family and I have been getting adjusted by Dr. Sara for almost 10 years now. I get adjusted regularly to maintain and healthy spine and have done so for practically my whole life! I do get adjusted by other chiropractors and really like Dr. Sara’s technique and how gentle it is. The Activator just seems to work best for my body, which I appreciate. I also really like how friendly the staff has always been. I would recommend Dr. Sara if you may be nervous about getting adjusted because of how gentle and understanding she is!

World Traveler
Before starting chiropractic care I was having headaches daily and was having to take Tylenol much too frequently to try to manage them. I started chiropractic care with Dr. Sara a couple years ago and I still get adjusted monthly in order to feel great and prevent my headaches from returning. I’ve only had a handful of headaches since starting chiropractic and because I know my spine is well-adjusted, I also know that these infrequent headaches must be caused by something related to my lifestyle, like stress.
To those who may be skeptical about chiropractic care, my advice is simple: You don’t know until you try! You really have nothing to lose if it doesn’t work.
After my wife referred me to Active Life, I realized that many of my family members come here, too! Chiropractic has helped my family and has improved my quality of life, allowing me to enjoy my active lifestyle. In fact, I recently traveled to my 50th state and am loving life!
