Business Details
We have served Tempe and the East Valley since 1993, building more than three decades of clinical experience in corrective chiropractic care. Our focus has always been on identifying the root cause of dysfunction rather than chasing temporary symptom relief. We created The Alpha 5 Phase System to provide a clear, structured path from pain and frustration back to strength and freedom. We believe that the body should become more capable over time, not more dependent on ongoing treatment. Our approach prioritizes rebuilding movement quality, stability, and durable strength so that patients can reclaim the activities they love. We understand the frustration that comes with temporary fixes, and we have dedicated our careers to delivering lasting solutions.
Our first goal with every individual is to understand precisely why they are hurting before we decide how to help them. We consider it our duty to offer transparent evaluations that allow you to make an informed decision about your health. We have guided thousands of patients toward a life where their body helps them live, not limits them. We combine precise corrective strategies with a deep commitment to helping active adults regain their confidence. We measure our success not by temporary relief, but by your ability to hike, lift, travel, and play without hesitation. We are proud to serve Tempe, Mesa, and the surrounding East Valley communities with a cash-based corrective model that prioritizes your long-term resilience.

Body Fix Assessment

I've been attending Active Family Chiropractic for almost 6 years. I love my adjustments, and my relationship with Dr. C and her staff. I experience less pain in my neck and shoulders, and Dr. C gives me tools so I can be an active participant in my care. The biggest value is that my kids get adjusted for free because I have a care plan. I highly recommend her practice, because she genuinely cares about your health AND your life. It's a relationship I treasure.

Dr. Carlson is so intuitive and really cares about helping you to live your best life. You will have to put in the work, but she really knows her stuff and will support you in your journey to heal. I highly recommend seeking out her treatment to end your chronic pain! She knows everyone is different and tailors her treatment based on what each individual needs. I have worked with, and gone to many Chiropractors, but I will never leave Dr Carlson.

Thank you, Doc. Always cracking my back and neck very good. I don't know what it is about getting adjustment, but afterwards I sleep like a baby. It always come down to getting adjust and having done correctly. Cheers to Doc OX

Dr. Carlson took the time to explain the process of examination and assessment necessary to come up with my individualized treatment plan. This was very helpful, as this was my first experience seeing a chiropractor.
