Dr. Aaron Montgomery attended the University of Western States and has been in practice for 15 years. He is the owner and Clinic Director at Active Motion and utilizes a unique approach to chiropractic care. He works closely with the Univesity of Western States and their chiropractic program as one of their community-based clinical affiliates where senior chiropractic residents hone their skills and finish their clinical training just prior to culminating their chiropractic training and graduation. Dr. Montgomery takes an active approach to your care by identifying strategies for you to find relief and manage your improvement away from the office as well as in it. He believes strongly that all patients have the ability to help take care of themselves with movements and he and his team work hard to identify those during examinations and treatments. It’s a unique blend of chiropractic, strength and conditioning, and physiotherapy that does NOT focus on rack n’ crack 10-minute visits or 30-visit treatment packages, but thorough evaluation and application of what you need to get out of pain and stay out of pain with a plan that fits each individual.
