Chard & Dr. Waggoner are trained in treating dysfunctions in bones, muscles, nerves or joints. Your body has lots of changes in hormones and structure (you knew that already) and the added baby weight combined with shifting hip structure can lead to misalignment in the spine.
We won't mention the additional stress you may be carrying in your shoulders, or the headaches, or the myriads of other aches and pains that you can experience during your pregnancy.Some targeted adjustments to the sacrum and tendons in the hips can even help foster proper birthing position for your baby.

Services
The cost associated with chiropractic care vary depending upon what services are being requested and performed and what insurance (if any) is involved. Our fee schedule is based upon the Oregon Workers Compensation fee schedule. If you do not have insurance for chiropractic care you may be eligible for a discount if you qualify for a financial hardship.
Massage is no longer a luxury reserved for the wealthy. The benefits are clearly documented. More insurance companies are recognizing massage and paying for massage treatments. Receiving massage is even a standard part of rehabilitation after workplace injuries or car accidents. Very few people should avoid massage, and in most cases avoiding massage is only necessary during the acute phases of certain illnesses and medical conditions*.
Dr. Waggoner's first introduction to chiropractic came at the age of 15, as a young athlete. She found that, together with physical therapy, chiropractic kept her feeling good and kept her competing. When she turned 18 she started working at a chiropractic office where she saw many cases of how chiropractic can help free people from pain and help them recover from injuries without drugs, while preventing unnecessary surgeries.

I've been seeing chiropractors since I was young and have one in my family. So I know good ones from mediocre ones. Drs. Chard and Waggoner are great at making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Their assistants are excellent at using all the latest medical equipment to relax your achy muscles and allow the doctors to fix whatever spinal issues you're having.
What's so good about Active Family Chiropractic is what they don't do: Order LOTS of expensive X-rays, try to sell you heel lifts, foot inserts, belts, vitamins and other remedies, and tell you that

Been going to active family for almost 4 years on the dot. Now my husband and inlaws go, and we have had nothing but great experiences. While they take insurance, that usually comes with a yearly limit and out of pocket costs are super manageable. They have almost always gotten myself or my husband in same day if we call early enough.
I also have to say - their treatment includes massage and it is so relaxing to have that part of the session prior to the adjustment. Treatments are far more reliable and I've noticed that i might not need 7 sessions to resolve a small issue.

I feel that it's important for anyone considering an appointment right now to know that no one in their office is wearing masks, which is concerning to me on many levels given that we are in a national health crisis. I've been going here for years, and have had wonderful experiences. I wish I had thought to ask before taking the time to go in, but I did not.

I saw Dr. Waggoner for approximately 3 years while I lived in Gresham, Oregon. I recently had to move to another state and one of the biggest challenges will be finding a chiropractor as good as Michele Waggoner. She and her staff took great care of me. I have degenerative disc disease and sometimes created other problems for my back as well from lifting things too heavy, to playing on the floor too long with my grandson. Without fail, I felt better after my visits to Active Family. I loved the messages too! I trusted them so much, that when my mom came for a visit and complained about her hip

I am so happy I found Active Family Chiro! I get adjustments there weekly, and they make it so quick and easy while keeping it a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
I recently had my first massage with Kaitlyn and was blown away! She listened to me when I discussed the areas I wanted worked on, kept a perfect pressure throughout the entire massage, and was very friendly and professional. Definitely scheduling my next massage with Kaitlyn!

I have been seeing Michelle Waggoner one of the Chiropractors here since she was at the Chiropractic college. She and Michelle Chard opened this amazing practice together. I have see. Both of them and I can say they both do an amazing job. When you go into the treatment room, first you tell them what is bothering you, and they feel around to see what's what. Next they use the "Tens" machine which sends an electric current to your muscles and relaxes them along with a heavy cozy warm pad. After the time is up on the machine you get a bit of a massage in the area needing the adjustment

I've been suffering from lower back pain and neck pain for several months. My lower back felt immobile, even when attempting to do some yoga poses there was no flexibility. My first appt they used the tens and heat, massage and adjustments. After my treatment my neck and back felt some much looser. I'd been going to PT for a couple months and didn't see any results but after one appt at Active Family it was a miracle. I have much more flexibility in my lower back I hadn't had in several months. I'm very happy with the results. The staff is amazing and Dr. Waggoner is a

Have had a reduction in pain and look forward to my next massage.
Office staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend Active family Chiropractic s for massage services .

I started gong here about 5 months ago when I moved to town from Denver. My chiropractor in Denver referred me here.
They are great. I have seen both chiropractors and they do a very thorough job. I like the office staff and overall office environment. They are great with my kids when they come with me.
Love that I can book appointments online.

Had my first appointment with Michelle Waggoner and she was amazing. I walked in the office with upper and lower back pain and walked out feeling like i could do gymnastics! All staff were kind and her assistant gave a great message. Although I was a new patient I felt like I had been there before. I already scheduled my next appointment and I am looking forward to it. Highly recommended this place!
