Recurrent pain. I’m over this.
Our practice is full of patients that came in with a recurrent pain problem. Unless the reasons for recurrent pain are identified and addressed, the cycle continues. We help you stop all that. If you are tired of being stopped by pain over and over, let us help you.

Dr. Mcmillin is the GOAT!! He takes his time & listens to all your aches & pains. Focuses on getting you pain free. He’s very compassionate and extremely supportive. Hands down the best chiropractor I’ve had. He has also helped out every patient I’ve sent his wY. Hands down he’s the best around.
Coming to see Dr McMillin was a turning point in my recovery journey. I’d had pain in my shoulder from a sports injury.
When I met Dr McMillin, he laid out a game plan which put me on a path to recovery. He’s easy to communicate with, and remembers details about me and my issues.
I recommend ProActive Spine Care, the entire team is professional, friendly, and efficient.
I have gone to Dr. McMillin for severe sciatica pain in the past and most recently for neck pain (with a throbbing headache). Both times he was very quickly able to assess my situation and start a plan together with me. Complete professional and knows his stuff!One important part of the maintenance plans for both issues I’ve experienced that I can’t talk up enough is the laser therapy process. It is non-invasive (compared to cortisone shots) and has helped my pain relatively quickly. It is absolutely worth trying if you are experiencing pain.
Dr. McMillin is an exceptional doctor who ensures his patients receive the best care, my parents were dealing with very complex issues, he took the time to explain, making us feel informed and safe. I felt he truly cares about his patients, his adjustments are awesome, the laser therapy was great for my dad especially, my parents are so much better now, we always leave his office feeling heard and understood. He is an outstanding doctor.
The front office is awesome and they know their stuff when it comes to insurance, all around a great office.
Thank you Dr. McMillin.
Dr. McMillin and his team at ProActive Spine Care are truly world class. Rather than get you in a routine of constant visits like other offices might, they focus on the root cause of your problem and incorporate rehab to strengthen your weak points so you don’t need constant adjustment. I recently strained my shoulder and in one visit with Dr McMillin’s laser therapy, I feel almost 100% better. I choose sports and activities that are hard on my body and this is the only place I will go for my chiropractic, laser, and physical rehabilitation.
This is a very nice office with a friendly staff and Dr. McMillin is very knowledgeable in not just chiropractic and spine care but has also made suggestions that have worked for other injuries that have ailed me. I was a skeptic of the red light laser therapy, but after using it I have not had the same pain again, and after reading about it, it’s capabilities are actually quite fascinating.
Are you trying to avoid more spine surgery or injections? We are here to help specializing in effective non-invasive options.
DISC PROBLEMS
Spinal disc problems including disc bulges, disc protrusions, and disc herniations, have been shown to be related to repetitive trauma. We help acute disc problems, and finding the source of disc strain for long-term control.
SPINE ARTHRITIS
If you have spinal arthritis that has been treated with injections or surgery, there is good news! Most cases can benefit from well-designed conservative care to prevent having to back under the needles and knives.
SPINE FUSION
We are trained and skilled at managing patients with a history of spinal fusion. In fact, while many fusion patients might believe they can’t get treatment like chiropractic and related treatment, skilled care is usually very helpful long term.
SCIATICA
Turning to repeat surgery or injections for recurrent sciatica can be risky, and leave the spine weaker than before. We help finding causes of recurrent sciatica and reasonable options to avoid invasive and heroic measures.
