Dr. Scott Stiffey and his team counsel whiplash victims on the appropriate course of action after a car crash. It is highly recommended that people visit a qualified therapist after a car crash because, quite often, medical doctors may fail to appreciate the extent of an injury until symptoms appear. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing the car accident injury from exacerbating. Research shows that chiropractic care and acupuncture are excellent treatment modalities for vehicular accidents. Symptoms associated with vehicle crashes include neck pain, back pain, numbness and tingling in the extremities, etc.

Pro Active Chiropractic Center provides acupuncture therapy as an effective non-surgical, non-drug treatment for delivering pain relief in a host of conditions, including peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and encourages the body's natural pain relief system. Like other alternative treatments, this therapy focuses on full-body wellness instead of treating only the symptoms of a condition.

Dr. Scott Stiffey of Pro Active Chiropractic Center - Columbia said, "Welcome to Pro Active Chiropractic Center located in Columbia, MO. At Pro Active Chiropractic Center - Columbia, we do our best first to find out if we can help you. If not, we will refer you to another specialist. If we can, we will work on a game plan to fix or repair your problem so that it doesn't keep coming back or to continue to worsen."

He continued to say, "I decided to become a chiropractor in Columbia MO because I went to college at the University of Missouri and have always liked Columbia MO. I love how there are so many things to do, great restaurants, and a lot of cultural activities even though it still has a small-town feel. I wanted to give the residents of this area the best non-drug and non-surgical healthcare that can be provided. I have been working with patients for almost 20 years now. We have helped over 10,000 different patients to improve their health without drugs or surgery.

Addressing a common chiropractic misconception, Dr. Stiffey said, "One of the common misconceptions that we hear a lot is that many patients think that just coming once or twice for pain relief is really helping their problem. Unfortunately, our bodies don't work that way. It is similar to going to the gym and working out. I wish you could go one time and lose 20 pounds and get big muscles, but that doesn't work. It is also similar to a dentist putting braces on your teeth. They don't just do that for one day, or one week, right?  No, it is a healing process, and it takes time. People who are adjusted regularly have less pain and headaches, less physical stress, and a stronger immune system."
