As we partner together, we’ll honor every piece of your history and current situation. Together we’ll discover the root of your concerns, activate healing, and become a resource to nourish your lifestyle.

Whether you want to start feeling good or keep feeling great, we look forward to welcoming you into our family.

Our Story

Healthcare Designed to harness your design and natural healing ability.

We began Active Edge because we saw an opportunity to serve our community in a way we weren’t seeing elsewhere. Health care had become (and still is) so compartmentalized that there wasn’t anyone treating patients as whole people; just hips, hearts, nervous systems, cancers, etc. 

We set out to be different. Since 2012, we have been listening to the whole story, connecting the dots, and drawing the big picture.

At Active Edge you’ll discover a healthcare experience designed for your design. Our amazing bodies adapt, compensate, and heal according to the stimulus on and around them. Often, especially in the case of chronic pain, recurring injury, or unusual presentations, the root of your symptoms originates elsewhere. Empowering your body to heal itself allows for healing in amazing and often unexpected ways.

Whether you want to start feeling good or keep feeling great, we invite you to partner with us, activate your body’s natural healing ability and refresh your vibrance.Your holistic doctors will get to know you top to bottom, front to back, and inside out. We’ll consider your goals, combine the appropriate variety of treatments to address the root cause(s) of your concerns and boost your health accordingly so you can thrive!

Active Edge is one of few Columbus chiropractor practices to combine traditional chiropractic principals with neuromuscular and fascial movement based rehab as well as functional medicine.

We do this through a combination of one-on-one therapies in the office as well as offering health seminars to companies, groups, on site, and at various events around Columbus.

Treatment From Head To Toe

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE ADDRESSES THE CAUSES OF LESS-THAN-OPTIMUM HEALTH, PARTICULARLY CHRONIC PROBLEMS.

Your Discovery Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of both your physical health (bones, muscles and other structures) and physiological health systems (organ functions, sleep, energy, etc)  Adding functional medicine, this physiological component, to your treatment by our skilled Columbus chiropractor team allows us to go deeper and address the underlying issues of instead of merely treating symptoms.

Assessing both your physical and physiological health allows us to create the best program for your unique body. Your physician will evaluate structure, balance, movement, fatigue, digestion, sleep cycles, energy levels, eating habits, and more.

Your detailed history allows us to uncover underlying problems or conditions that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. This information in combination with your treatment goals, allows your physician to work with you to create a personal treatment program for your body’s specific needs.

Stage 3: Nourish & Refresh

At this point, you are feeling better than you ever thought you could as you are feeling energized and thriving. You have learned a lot about your body, you are moving more efficiently, you understand your body’s cues, and you have a good idea of what to do with these cues. This means you get to try new things, achieve new goals, and conquer new challenges!  As you do, we will be here as your resource, as needed, to help you nourish, boost, and refresh your health.

Stage 2: Activate Healing

Pain is generally the last symptom to show up and the first to go away. This means that by the time you realize there is a problem, there has been a problem for a long time. Especially for chronic or recurring issues, understanding how you got to where you are is so important for getting to where you want to go. In this stage of your journey, you will resolve underlying dysfunction, remove cheats, and retrain habits. As we aid you in activating your body’s natural healing potential, we will help you regain movement, energy, and body function both inside and outside. Throughout this process, you will start to feel greater ease and inspiration as you restore communication and efficiency in your body. Together, we will constantly assess, observe, and reassess your body’s responses to boost your results.

Stage 1: Discover Root Cause

You are your own person, with your own collection of life events which brought you to where you are today. You deserve to be heard, seen, and treated as the individual you are. Your journey begins with your Discovery Evaluation. This first visit includes your exam which works to uncover the root of your issue(s), new patient diagnostics, and, of course, your first treatment. This is how we will help you begin connecting the dots and feeling better. After your first treatment, we will ask you to observe your body’s responses– good, bad, or indifferent. There is no wrong answer as this is just starting point information and direction for moving forward. In your second visit, we will review this feedback and your diagnostics to further identify potential underlying causes and compensations. We will combine everything we have learned about you, consider your goals, and together create a plan to resolve your concerns from the roots up
