If you are looking for a chiropractor in the Prairie Village/Overland Park area, you're in the right place. Active Health KC uses the most current evidence-based protocols and techniques. As a result they can functionally assess and treat patients with disorders of the nerves, joints, and muscles. With extensive hours in post-graduate education and coursework, the doctors at Active Health KC have a variety of treatment methods.
Back pain affects millions of people every year and is one of the most common reasons to miss work, disrupt an active lifestyle, and wreak havoc on your everyday routine. However, when treated responsibly and efficiently by a chiropractor, back pain management doesn't have to be complicated and is often reversible.
Headache and neck pain can run the gamut. We will address muscle referral patterns, muscle and joint imbalance, nerve dysfunction, and dietary contributions. Neck pain stems from many different causes. When assessing the neck we assess all the spinal joint to ensure proper shared motion.
We also look for any potential disc herniations, bulges, "slipped discs, " etc. Often those and other neck conditions are caused by improper movement patterns and/or imbalance in the pull of the muscles.This can be a cause of cervical disc herniations, muscle referred pain, improper shoulder stabilization or lack or/excessive mid-back mobility.

I had never been to a chiropractor before I herniated a disc. I wasn't sure what to expect but was willing to try anything for relief from the incapacitating pain I was experiencing. In three visits Dr. Cotter had me to a point I could stand up out of bed in the morning. After six visits I was back to doing most normal, every day functions. Enough good things cannot be said about this practice and the compassion that was given to me during my care, Dr. Cotter is worth every penny spent.

I have been going to Active Health KC since 2014. Dr. Cotter is basically a wizard at helping resolve many of my old injuries that I never thought could get worked out. He is very intentional with his work, listens to me when I am talking to him about what is going on and he always provides excellent treatment in his office as well as stretches and workouts I can do to better strengthen imbalances I may have.

I have been to several chiropractors throughout the years and Active Health KC has definitely made their way to the top of the list. Soly was immediately helpful over the phone when making the consultation appointment and provided quick information regarding insurance coverage/benefits. Having only been the first appointment, I cannot speak to longterm effects of treatment - but, I can certainly speak to the atmosphere and likeliness of the staff.
Dr. Cotter is fantastic! Dr. Cotter is friendly, knowledgable, and inclusive. With a holistic approach that is immediately sensed, I can already tell

Dr. Cotter is an amazing individual and I can’t thank him enough for giving me my life back. I struggled with back pain and hip pain for almost 2 years prior to seeing him. I had multiple test done, MRIs , seen multiple doctors, specialist and chiropractors looking for someone with answers to why I constantly hurt. After one visit with Dr. Cotter I found instant relief. He worked with me for a few months performing the dry needling on my glut muscles and gave me exercises to do at home. I have not been back in almost 5 months because my pain is so minimal now. I highly recommend seeing him and

I have seen Dr. Cotter for a little over a year now and my life has changed for the better! Dr. Cotter not only helps with my neck/back pain, but taught me how to strengthen those areas to ensure the issues are not reoccurring. It is evident that he puts his patient's health before profit and that is greatly appreciated!

I am thrilled with the treatment I received at Active Health KC. I'm a reluctant seeker of treatment, and had spent several days suffering with intense pain and limited neck mobility before scheduling an appointment with Dr. Remsburg. He took a thoughtful and thorough approach to diagnosing the source of my shoulder and neck pain. He applied several modalities to treating my muscle issue, including manual manipulation, adjustments, teaching me exercises, and dry needling (which was miraculous). My improvement after my appointment was dramatic, and I awoke the next morning with fully restored mobility

I was highly recommended to the team at Active Health and they did not disappoint! I am a full time athlete who recently suffered some back issues and I have never felt better! The office is inviting with the sweetest receptionist to greet you and everyone is professional! Thank you so much! If you are looking for a team you can trust book with Active Health!

Finding a good chiropractor is quite a search but going here hasn't disappointed me and has been very helpful! Thorough knowledge and openness makes it trustworthy to continue treatment.
I've been helped very well! So much pain is alleviated, movements are so much easier.
After two appointments I didn't need any pain killers anymore and could move so much more free.
I recommend this practice!

Updating my review. Spent a year away from regular appointments with Dr. Remsburg and just revisited. He's super talented and hasn't yet failed to alleviate my pain and stiffness. Having moved around a lot and seen a number of chiropractors and practitioners, I can vouch that Dr. Remsburg is top notch.

Dr.Remsburg is THE best! I've had better results in half the time compared to my previous chiropractor. He does a great job of explaining the how and why behind your issues.I appreciate that he explains why he choses his treatment plans. Any questions have been answered in a informative/non judgmental way.Its easy to see he's well educated and highly informed. He knows what he's talking about! My pain/discomfort has greatly improved! The location and appointment times are very convenient.

I was having moderate pain in my lower back that was occasionally less than moderate.
Dr. Tom asked many questions and did some mobility tests, made a minor adjustment. My mobility increased instantly and I felt better right away.
There was no "You need to come in every week for the rest of your life" conversations like some of my past experiences. I went back for a follow up after doing the recommended exercises, and I was done! I feel great!
So if you are like me and only need the occasional "Feel Better" adjustment, Active Health is a great choice as well! You

I saw Dr. Remsburg after visiting years of mid back pain. I had tried out a couple of other chiropractors who would fix the pain, but inevitably the back pain would return after a couple of months without treatment. After a couple of sessions Jeff completely fixed my pain and helped me rehab to keep it from coming back!
He addressed the underlying muscle tightness and weakness that was causing the pain in the first place, in addition to doing a chiropractic adjustment, which I think is why I didn't have to keep going back to him. (One chiropractor told me he was "just part of my

Jeff started working on my hamstring issues in June that were making every run painful and a chore. Within a few weeks, between active release treatment, dry needling, and the strengthening exercises he recommended, I was already feeling better. I was able to get to full strength by August and run a personal best at the Chicago marathon in October, a race I thought would be difficult to even complete back in June. I'd recommend Jeff to any runner looking to work through an injury. His goal is just to help you get healthy and he won't recommend more treatment than you need.
