Chiropractic has been my primary health care for well over 25 years.  I see it as preventive maintenance.  I tried several chiropractors up and down the Bitterroot Valley and wasn't happy until I found Dr.Maxwell at ACFC.  When she left I was worried.

            Since Drs. Amy and Ryan Wood took over I couldn't be happier.  They are very caring and interested in their patients.  And don't be fooled by their age.  They've brought new techniques and knowledge to their practice. Amy, especially, has addressed long time problems I was having with my wrists and hands and brought me back to 99% full
function.  And overall, I think I'm in better shape than before -they've kicked it up a notch!

            As happy as I am with them professionally, I'm even happier that they're good, solid, straightforward folks - the kind I want for neighbors.  They're a very welcome addition to the area. 

           Good health isn't just absence of disease, it's correctly functioning body systems.  That starts with the nervous system and chiropractic offers the best care for all body systems.

In Good Health

           In the fall of 2007 I began a search to find the cause of intense pain and numbness in my lower legs and feet.  I was unable to sleep for months.  An MRI of my spine revealed 3 herniated discs in my lumbar spine, one of which was badly protruding.  I was referred to a Neurosurgeon to review the results of my MRI.  After looking at them the Neurosurgeon told me that I had no other options but to have back surgery in the near future.  I am a certified tennis instructor and a tournament player.  The Neurosurgeon also told me that either way, my days on the tennis court were over.  The walk down the hall of the clinic following that appointment was one of the most devastating days of my life.

          In December my wife had a chiropractic appointment with Dr. Amy Wood in Stevensville, Montana.  During the course of the appointment my wife mentioned my situation, to which Dr Wood replied, “Have your husband come in because I think we may be able to help him.”  Feeling like I had nothing else to lose I made an appointment.       My original appointment was with Dr. Ryan Wood who did a significantly more detailed exam & evaluation than the Neurosurgeon had done.  He and Amy reviewed my MRI & exam results, and then recommended a treatment plan which included adjustments on a “Cox Table” which is specifically designed to help patients with disc problems.

        That first appointment with Doctors Amy and Ryan Wood was eight months ago.  During that time they have diligently done research on my behalf, tailored a comprehensive stretch and exercise program for me, along with weekly treatments from Dr. Amy on the “Cox Table”.  I have had a busy summer giving private tennis lessons, doing tennis clinics and have played in two tournaments.  The improvement in my ability to sleep has been dramatic.  The quality of comprehensive care I have received from Active Care Family Chiropractic in Stevensville is second to none! I recommend them highly!
