If you are suffering from chronic pain or dysfunction, we are here to help. Accidents, illnesses, long-term stress and other factors cause injury to the muscles, soft tissues, bones (including structure and alignment) and even the nervous system. Our chiropractic staff has years of training, experience and success in bringing lasting and real relief to our patients. By locating the cause (not just medicating the symptoms) we can very often bring tremendous relief to our patients.
Quite often our practitioners get results where nothing else has worked. We have a very high success rate with back and spine related issues as well.
You don’t have to resign yourself to live with back and neck pain, headaches, or disability.

Fantastic experience: Whoa what an amazing tribe of providers ! Get ready to heal !❤️ on all cellular body kind and soul get ready to level up repeat client .

Biomagetism is the way to the source! All the other beautiful staff practitioners it’s just all falls in alignment they’re specialities ❤️ I am home the new chapter
Fantastic experience: Dr Schade is a wealth of knowledge - certainly not your typical chiropractor! She takes a very healthy and inspired holistic approach that is so welcome and comforting. Her actual chiropractic methods are non-intrusive and warm. I cannot recommend her more highly.
That is so nice Peter. I am glad you are following the recommendations about dietary and lifestyle changes, it is paying off ! You are always a pleasure to work with !
Fantastic experience: Active Life Chiropractic Clinic has a group of professionals staff that really know what they are doing and their focus is on making sure you receive the best care. Dr. Schade is the person I trust to take care of me when I have neck and back issues. Her knowledge and experience is amazing.
Fantastic experience: I’m really glad I found this office. Dr. Schade knows her stuff and the whole staff is so sweet and helpful. You are given warm ups/stretches before your adjustment which really helps get a much better adjustment/crack. Not every doctor requires that and I can tell it makes a huge difference.
Fantastic experience: Skilled chiropractic care. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience and felt great afterwards. So thrilled.
Fantastic experience: Thank you. You helped me feel a little omfort as best as you could.
Fantastic experience: LOVE Dr Schade! We've both been going to her for years. She kept my husband from having shoulder/ neck surgery! After 1 TREATMENT! They have many alternatives to normal medical intervention. Do yourself a FAVOR & go there before making ANY drastic medical decisions. Get a 2nd (AND 3RD) opinion.... and make sure 1 is Dr Schade
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cinthia is a very professional chiropractor. She works with different modalities and therapies that makes her work more integral. Also she is a very nice person and easy to talk to. I recommend her and her healing center 100%.
Fantastic experience: Super awesome folks that get results!
Ah thank you.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Dr Schade by my girlfriend who found multiple glowing reviews of a wonderful practice provided, along with ease of scheduling with many open times later in the day available, which worked very well with my busy schedule. I am so happy to have found Dr. Schade and her staff! From start to finish they are comprehensive in the care provided. From daily stretches to small adjustments in posture set up specifically to each person, you are in great hands at Active Life Chiropractic. I benefited very well from all of my visits and small adjustments performed. I only wish I could come more often than insurance provides for. I am excited and looking forward to some of the upcoming services that are going to be providing on top of what they have. I look forward to deep tissue massages and other muscular therapies Will be coming back as much as I can in 2024
Wow thank you on behalf of my staff and myself . We thrive on appreciation ;) May 2024 be the best and healthiest year yet . We enjoy working with you and your girlfriend! Have a great holiday season !
Fantastic experience: My wife and i are both new clients at Active Life Chiropractic. Dr. Schade is very caring and took the time to listen to us and what we were there to address. Since we've been going to see her, we have noticed dramatic improvement in our conditions as well as our moods. The massage therapist, Lisa, is also wonderful and has been able to fix my injured and painful neck and lower back. I can't recommend Active Life chiropractic enough! 5/5!!!
We are so happy that Lisa has joined us and she is fabulous ! I am enjoying working with both of you and noticing how some some of our unique healing modalities are improving your overall health and well-being !
Fantastic experience: I always feel so much better and stronger after being treated by these wonderful caring people!
Fantastic experience: I've been to maybe 10-12 different chiropractors over the years with negligible results and had basically given up on the profession. In 2016 I ended up at the neurosurgeon and had two cervical disks re replaced. Earlier this year I began to experience numbness radiating down my shoulder and arm so I went back to the MD. He told me my vertebrae were beginning to fuse around my implants and there was no further treatment options available. A good friend referred me to Dr Cynthia at Active Life and I couldn't be happier!
We are going to have fun working together and get to the "root " of what is going on. I am happy that you are committed to doing whatever it takes to reach your health potential ! That makes you a fun person to work with as frequently the road to ideal health can have some twists and turns but commitment, consistency and willingness to try something new are all traits that help create a positive result ! The journey begins woohoo ! Dr S
Fantastic experience: I love Active Life, and cannot recommend them enough. Following a major surgery, I had severe back pain which warranted several visits to the ER with doctors who had no suggestions for solutions other than temporary pain killers. I searched for a chiropractor after getting the idea from my acupuncturist, and immediately upon reading about the clinic, I loved the intention of integrative wellness behind their practice, and made an appointment. I continued to be impressed - by the helpful and efficient scheduling (which we did via text!), the warm welcome I received from Jonise at the front desk during my first visit, the way the session was conducted including a soft tissue warm up, and even the experience of being put on an automated roller massage table to make the short wait while my X-rays were ordered pleasant. Dr. Schade did a thorough intake and was the first doctor I met who really took everything I was dealing with seriously, and actively wanted to address many health concerns that I had been dealing with for years, far beyond the back pain. My treatment plan tackles core issues from different angles, including biomagnetism, red light therapy, emotion body code, and homeopathic supplements. The work we have done has been so effective that I am a renewed person. My severe back pain is gone, I feel more energized, and overall I feel much healthier. I even pulled my partner in to give treatment there a shot, and he quickly became a fan himself. Some other things I love: they send reminder texts 24 hours AND 4 hours before your appointment, are incredibly understanding if you can’t make it or need to reschedule because you’re not feeling well, and the facility itself is beautiful on the inside and outside - radiating with positive and healing energy. Dr. Schade listens to her patients, truly cares, and is incredible in what she does. It is reflected wholly throughout the practice, including her staff. They are the perfect model of what a healthcare practice should be.
Fantastic experience: Great Chiropractor, listens and helps. Great staff.
Yay, I am very happy with my current staff so thank you for giving them some kudos !
Fantastic experience: Best chiropractor I have been to in Austin!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade is a true healer & I highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shade is thorough, insightful and knowledgeable. I was encouraged with her positive approach to healing and trust her suggestions and actions.
That is wonderful, I know I am going to enjoy working with you!
Fantastic experience: Miracle worker! So grateful Dr. Schade was in network and so easy to get in to see. I was having a hard time walking due to low back pain and she got me on the road to recovery very quickly.
Fantastic experience: Great quality care. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Excellent job diagnosing what my body needs. Friendly team. Dr Shade is an excellent chiropractor. I always feel better after a session. Thais, the physical therapist, has helped me maintain the healing I’ve received from Dr Shade. Very intelligent group here.
Fantastic experience: All great.
Fantastic experience: Love Dr. Schade and the “clean, well-lighted place” she’s set up here. Tree of Life (where the clinic is located) is a commodious, green little oasis behind a wood fence right off Stassney. The clinic appears to be in a little converted house, full of little devices and tools and furniture for orthopedic health. My first visit I saw Dr. Mael, who was a bit gruff but very effective after I had rapid-onset lumbar pain, and the adjustments he made brought me some same-day relief. I had a few follow up visits at the advice of Dr. Schade. Chad, the… nurse(??), taught me some exercises I still do every day to tone the lower back and they seem to keep the worst symptoms at bay. Dr. Schade is very interested in experimenting and pays attention to what the patient and body are telling her - the result is a customized course of treatment that, while not completely curing any pain, has helped me stay more limber and understand how to adjust my posture to stay mostly pain-free. Strongly recommend this clinic.
Thank you for saying that Wade . In August we are bringing in the EES ( energy enhancement system ) , the #1 comment from users in other clinics is reduction or elimination of pain . Maybe we can get rid of any lingering discomfort you may be experiencing ! You are correct , once I have ruled out pathologies that may need to be addressed by other types of practitioners , I m all about doing whatever is needed to help my patients return to fully functional , pain- free living !
Fantastic experience: I love the caring, nurturing environment created by Dr. Cynthia Schade and her staff at Active Life Chiropractic Clinic and Tree of Life Urban Retreat and Healing Center. Their focus is on holistic healing, combining ancient practices and innovative technology to promote mind, body and spirit wellness. It makes sense that addressing how our bodies, hearts and minds work together improves our ability to function physically, emotionally and mentally.
Fantastic experience: A really calm and warm energy, they are there to help you get aligned in your spine and feeling balanced and healthier. And really I felt immediate results.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the best care in regards to adjustments and massages from Active Life. They listen, which is most important for someone looking to get the most out of care. I couldn’t imagine going to another practice.
Ah that is so nice. You are a pleasure to work with :)
Fantastic experience: Great clinic focused on holistic health and education for an independent approach to healing!
Fantastic experience: Great experience, everyone was friendly and welcoming. I was in tremendous pain and the Dr. was able to identify I had a rib out of place and fixed me right up.
Fantastic experience: Great service! & even better staff. Very easygoing environment. I would recommend anybody to come see this office if your in the need of a chiropractor. Answers all your questions & explains step by step what’s the issue and how to resolve it.
Fantastic experience: Cynthia is a master at healing pain. She always has time for you and is nurturing and wonderful. The staff at active life is also warm and welcoming.
Ah thank you Nora, always a pleasure to see you and glad you are having such a positive response to care;)
Fantastic experience: Holistic practice, Dr Mael takes his time with me, is on time, doesn't overschedule, and has a friendly staff. Easy billing to insurance.
Wonderful, I am so glad you are having a positive experience! Dr Mael is GREAT :)
Fantastic experience: Always get great treatment from both Dr. Schade & Dr. Mael. Be going to them for ages. Keep me feeling good with regular visits when I'm back in Austin. They have lots of other treatments, so check out their website!
We have lots of extra treatments and more are coming. We have to keep you young and vigorous, along with the rest of us :)
Fantastic experience: It was really a good experience for me.
So happy to hear that. Thanks for letting us know :)
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr. Schade for improving my life!
Oh Thank you so much Cara ! I so appreciate you saying those things. I am happy you are following recommendations as that makes YOU a great patient and will help you get well faster !
Fantastic experience: I've found a miracle in Dr. Schade. Long ago when I couldn't solve my back pains and limited mobility through conventional medicine, I looked towards Chiropractic care for help. Through a referral I visited Dr. Schade. I often speak about the euphoric experience when she first adjusted my spine, something I still enjoy. Additionally, I found my mobility returns, the pain decreases and I'm able to function and do what I want to. I had my apprehensions but I can say truthfully, once you get past what you think and try this alternative medicine, you too will come to appreciate chiropractic care. Thanks Dr. Schade!!!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mael is amazing! Came in with car accident whiplash. Was able to help get my neck feeling amazing! I didn't expect to also have learned stretching techniques to keep feeling great. Chad the physical therapist helped me to correct my posture. Can't say enough great things about the office. Highly recommend
Thanks Christian. Your participation with all aspects of rehab and treatment plan was wonderful . It is such a joy to work with engaged patients, that do their part :)
Fantastic experience: I came in barely walking with a pulled Psoas muscle. Dr. Mael treated me and I was able to move about without the extreme sharp pain I was having with each step. Within a couple of days after the treatment it felt almost entirely healed. The treatment was gentle and did not hurt at all! Thanks for the sweet care!
So glad it worked so quickly. YAY!
Fantastic experience: When my spine is out of wack, Active Life is where I go. The chiropractic care is above and beyond. They are the BEST! I have sent several other people to them, and they also are in love with this clinic. Always warm and welcoming, and so so helpful. Highly recommend!
Oh that makes me so happy. Thank you Mindy
Fantastic experience: The holistic approach has been way better than the other chiro(South Chiro)that I first went to. After x-rays, Dr. Mael, has adjusted my back and neck in ways that were beneficial, not overdone nor too painful. It's a big deal when one gets rear ended and so important to get a good chiro., it's definitely a process and alot of work to get feeling better. Active Life also has a physical therapist which helps with stretching prior to appt.
Glad that you are feeling and doing better.
Fantastic experience: This is the best Chiropractic care in the city. I do almost hate to give them a rating because I don't want them to become too popular with people, but they are the best.
We love seeing your smiling face around the clinic, Jan! We're thrilled to be a part of your healing journey. Thanks for the 5 star review:)
Fantastic experience: I wasn’t able to move my head to the left and also had sharp pain from an accidental fall. I was able to set up a same day appointment as a new patient and left with way less pain and way more mobility and set a following appointment to continue treatment. Their office is really unique and just had a very pleasant vibe overall.
Oh nice, I would agree we are unique. I always feel grateful that we get to create our own enviroment and business model . No corporate "one size fits all" health model or treatment plan. Glad you experienced some fast relief.
Fantastic experience: The service was quick ! Staff and doctors were very friendly and gave us all the information.
Fantastic experience: The best chiropractor in the world Will be back Friday for another super adjustment. Cynthia is awesome. Still have her business from over 30 years ago.
WOW , you just made my day Jim, Thank-you . I will assume you are feeling MUCH better with a review like that. Glad you saved my business card for all those years !
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade and Dr. Mael are both so in tune with the human body and have been so instrumental to my assistance with migraines. I feel confident leaving my body in their hands and always walk away feeling A LOT better.
That is the kind of results that make our day ! Glad you are feeling better. Dr Schade
Fantastic experience: Dr Schade and her staff are caring, professional, and experienced. Either they will “fix” you (they have many tools and techniques) or they will refer you out. Dr Schade is a true “healer.”
Ahh thank you so much. I appreciate that !!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mael and the staff are incredible. He is helping me navigate injuries from a car accident and made it a comfortable process. I was on paid meds when I first started and am no longer.
We are SO glad to hear that. Drugs are good for short term use , when needed, one of our goals is to help patients get to the point where they don't need them. I am SO happy we found Dr Mael a year ago. We had to import him from the East Coast and it was a good decision. His expertise in car accidents is wonderful for the patients AND the attornies we work with . You have also been a great patient and done what you need to do to get better, that is a very important part of the process. YAY everybody wins. :)
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Dr. Schade & Dr. Mael definitely works well to ensure that every client receives the best care possible. I love the informational session that they provide at the third session. They also teach you helpful stretching exercises to do. I am already noticing and feeling a difference in my problem areas.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so glad that you are noticing change so quickly.
Fantastic experience: I've been an appreciative patient of Active Life Chiropractic for many years. Back in March I hurt my low back badly and had been in debilitating pain for several months when I came to the clinic and saw Dr Jeff Maul. He listened to my story and tailored his treatments to my condition and within just a few short weeks I was MUCH better!! Now after a few more treatments, I am back to my pre-injury self! I had become VERY discouraged and debilitated by my unchanging back pain up to the point of coming into the clinic, so I am very very pleased to have my energy and mobility back! I think Dr Maul is a fantastic chiropractor and would recommend him to anyone!!
Thank you so much. Glad that you are doing so much better.
Negative experience: Update: No one from my original posts still works here ♀️ I wish them the best but updated my steps based on current management. Dr. Mael and Katie are incredible! I stumbled across Active Life when my regular chiro couldn't get me in. Meaning o was in debilitating pain and couldn't wait even a day. That was 7 months ago and I haven't looked back. Dr. Mael fully understands my pain and condition. It's lower back some days and shoulder pains sometimes but he senses it. I think he has a sixth sense! Katie is a goddess of massage. She has the ability to identify my pain points just by how I walk in. And I've probably never told her this but just being in her presence I feel distressed. She has a very calming and open energy but don't be fooled she will grind out the insurmountable boulder (knot) that's lodged in my shoulders. After my first two visits we needed very little consultation because idk how but she knew what hurt and what needed work. My pain migrates and meanders throughout my body. So we focus on different areas and different techniques. Cannot express enough gratitude for her healing hands! Last week I surprised my 72 year old mother with a massage. She hadn't had one in WAY too long. Sang Katie's praise But when we got in the car I asked "I think she's amazing what are your thoughts?" Mom quote "I have had many massages in my life. But this was the first one I had to head the advice to take my time getting up! I was such a noodle. And pain free". For someone who has had 3 knee replacements, broken back and needs a hip replacement this is huge! 2 days later my mom is still feeling better than ever. The power of massage and touch can be transforming. Katie is an incredible healer. 2 great practitioners I highly recommend! I only have one concern about the parking (there is ample parking but....) which I've emailed the owner about and hope it will be resolved quickly! If it isn't I will update this post.
Ann, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an amazing review for us. We are so happy that you found your way to our healing center and have had such great success working with Dr. Mael and Katie. Testimony like this is why we do what we do. Thank you for letting us be a part of your healing journey!
Fantastic experience: I always leave here feeling so much better! They offer a great holistic experience. Dr. Mael’s adjustments always seem to fix the pain I’ve been dealing with for a few weeks and Katie, their massage therapist, also does a phenomenal job!
Thanks so much 'Alyssa'
Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with both Dr Schade and Dr Mael. I was unable to stand straight up back in Nov 2021 due to an irritated sciatic, and within 2 weeks was back in business thanks to Dr Mael. Since then I have seen both chiropractors on the regular and just love them both. They are so thorough and gentle, it’s not a one and done service. They treat the whole body at each appointment, and my BXBS insurance covers it. Plus, there are other wonderful movement classes, nutrition counseling, and various classes offered that can help heal the body, mind and soul. Love, love, love this place! 5 stars with a cherry on top :)
YAY, and we so enjoy having you here and seeing YOUR transformation. May the improvements continue. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic experience: without Katie becoming a part of my world three years ago by happenstance, i am not sure i would be able to half function in my profession as well as in my mobility.
Kendra, thanks for the awesome review for Katie! Therapeutic massage is such an important healing modality. We are happy to play a small part in your wellness journey and look forward to seeing you around the healing center soon!
Fantastic experience: I just started going to ALCC and I started seeing Katie the massage therapist there. She is amazing. I’ve had so many issues with my lower back and she is the first to ever relieve me of the pain in my lower back. If your looking for a massage therapist, Katie is the one you need!
Hey Shannon! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a great review for Katie. We LOVE the positive feedback:)
Fantastic experience: Katie is so intuitive with her massage techniques. She finds places I need work on that I didn’t even know I needed! I always sleep so deeply afterwards. Her massage space is very inviting and relaxing, and the building is one of a kind here in Austin. Love visiting this unique healing center! Thanks Katie, you’re amazing!
Wonderful feedback, Michelle! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with others. We look forward to seeing you around the healing center soon!
Fantastic experience: I had a fabulous massage with Lisa and a very constructive health coach appt with Penny. The clinic really addresses the whole person! I’ll be back
Thank you for the kind review, Marilyn!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Dr Schade for YEARS for my scoliosis & related painful issues. She is always quick, effective & gentle. She also does magnetic therapy. She has had some amazing results -- especially with one lady I met who had psoriasis -- she said it was a "miracle" for her, after having exhausting the medical world for remedies.
It's always great to get feedback from you, Donna! Thank you for the kind words;)
Fantastic experience: It's well worth the drive to get the Best of Care at Active Life. A Service Much Needed and Appreciated!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review!
Fantastic experience: Saw Tore for a massage/body work for the first time and Tore is amazing. I had a stroke and was paralyzed on my left side and even though I can move now, it's like my body hung on to that paralysis in a lot of ways. After one visit with Tore I am already feeling so much better and lighter, and my mobility improved a lot. I am really looking forward to working with Tore and seeing what happens. My body was able to relax in a way it has not been able to in months, and for that I am so grateful.
Thanks for the five stars, Valerie!
Fantastic experience: I am abundantly satisfied with the care that I have received from Active life for over 10 years now! My needs have been met in many ways, including chiropractic adjustments, massage, and biomagnetism most recently (which offered healing on an emotional level that I wasn't aware that I even needed, until the relief arrived ;). Really they care for me as an active athlete, and just as a human in general. I regularly enjoy "maintenance" sessions for several of the wellness services offered, and when I recently "tweaked" my back while strength-training, they scheduled and saw me so quickly! If you are someone who seeks a more collaborative experience with your practitioner and wants to benefit from leading-edge approaches to healing, then this clinic is for you. I recommend them now, and they are continually improving!
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: I am hooked on Biomagnetism at Active Life Chiropractic Clinic! Every time I have a session, I learn more about my body and what it needs and what trauma or pain I was holding in my body that was released. I feel lighter and balanced, and I know that I am healing on many different levels. In the biomagnetism treatment, I love how my body reveals where magnets need to be placed by Dr. Schade’s muscle testing using my feet. I walk out feeling balanced, healed, and grateful for this modality of deep healing. I had an appointment last Friday to heal my knee. I had meniscus surgery last November and tried snowboarding in March 2022. I hurt my knee and it was swollen and I could not bend it. Dr. Schade is gifted in her ability to pin point areas to work on and the magic just starts happening! She treated my knee with a mix of chiropractic practices and biomagnetism. When I left, it was less swollen and I have followed the regime of homeopathic medicine and my knee is MUCH better! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Wonderful!! We LOVE hearing the positive feedback. Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review, Cori!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade is very knowledgeable. She takes her time to thoroughly inspect your body and form before beginning treatment. She’s also an expert at the Graston method which is hard to find but an amazing technique. I’m so happy I discovered her and her wonderful clinic. Dr. Schade also offers untrasound therapy (which is good for tendinitis, something I can get if I push myself working out). She’s helped relieve tons of pressure with just an adjustment. I love Active Life Chiropractic because it’s a one stop shop for all my needs. Highly recommend!
Excellent feedback, Jenn! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review!
Fantastic experience: Cynthia was one of the first doctors in my life to actually sit and talk with me about what was happening with my pain and want to do something about it that wasn’t medication or surgeries. I feel like I can finally put my trust in her to help with the pain I have been feeling for years. I’m excited for what’s to come!
I can tell I am going to enjoy working with you. ! You are very fixable and I appreciate working with people who want to know MORE about what is going on with their bodies and not wanting to cover up the pain with more medications YAY :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade is the most experienced and intuitive Chiropractor I have been to in my lifetime! I was nervous that moving to Austin, I wouldn't find someone I love and trust as much as my long term chiropractic care provider. The universe answered my prayers when I found Active Life! I highly recommend Active Life Chiropractic Clinic to anyone looking for above and beyond patient care!
We are SO happy that you found us! Thank you so much for the kind words;)
Fantastic experience: Active Life has helped me since the ‘90s, as needed, with pain & mobility problems from accidents, overextending with yard work, frozen shoulders & long work hours at computer/desk job. Regular maintenance & education very helpful for prevention, improving quality of life.
Fantastic experience: I have many physical challenges and what I’ve found with Dr. Schade and her team is outstanding skills to address my issues. They have acted with great compassion and have helped to improve the quality of my life. I’m looking forward to attending the evening classes they offer, too, so I can learn even more ways to strengthen my body and improve my mind. I recommend this clinic to my friends. Do yourself a favor and get the treatment your body is asking for.
That is wonderful to hear! Dr Schade
Fantastic experience: After our visits I always feel a couple inches taller! Dr. Mael is always happy to answers all our questions and takes his time with me and husband's many needs.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for complete care. The doctors are amazing and actually take time to discuss patients concerns on an individual basis. Not the typical "in and out in 10 minutes or less" place.
Fantastic experience: I've been having a lot of pain in my back and my left leg for a few months. After my first session the pain in my left leg has subsided and is feeling much better. My back is feeling much better too. I will continue to see Dr Schade for treatment. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Active Life Chiropractic Clinic for several years and I always receive the best care by Dr. Schade and her team.
I am so happy to get that feedback. I always look forward to seeing you, when I see your name on the schedule and ALSO happy that you like my associate. We DO have a great team and we are keeping it that way :)
Fantastic experience: Scheduling is easy and service is always amazing, from adjustments to massages! Could not speak more highly of Active Life!
Fantastic experience: I’m really impressed with the knowledge the staff has about my condition. The Doctor & I are working to rid me of the pain. It’s working!
Thanks Fred
Fantastic experience: I have primarily seen Dr. Schade and the message therapist Amanda. I have had great experiences with the services. Every time I visit, I feel amazing afterward. There are times when I’m asked to wait for my appointment longer that expected, but I’m patient and I’m sure the staff would accommodate me if I asked.
Fantastic experience: Love my massage therapist and my doctor - they both help alleviate the tension in my back and work on small steps to improve my health. Make sure to ask what options you have with insurance and they will try to work with you. It's a clean, spacious location and I feel very calm and welcomed (unlike most medical offices).
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Dr. Shade for nearly 10 years and I won't go anywhere else. I drive from round rock to see her... she's that good! She's knowledgeable, intuitive, thorough, sensitive and empathetic.
Fantastic experience: I have seen Dr Schade periodically over the years when I experience back problems and trust her experience and knowledge. It had been many years since I had needed to see her, but I have been experiencing back, neck and nerve pain. Dr Schade spent so much time talking with me and evaluating my current condition. I came away feeling that my pain issues were in good hands. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to go in!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade is the most knowledgeable of the five or six chiropractors I’ve seen in my 74 years, and she may be the best in the region, if not the State. She has a calm nature, a very pleasing personality, and a great “bedside manner”. I can’t imagine that anyone who has just one appointment won’t quickly realize that they’ve found their chiropractor. I can’t think of anything negative to say. The receptionist is very accommodating, the atmosphere is peaceful, and even the landscaping out front is nice. And my wife says the massage therapist, Amanda, is excellent. BTW, we live one hour and 15 minutes from Dr. Schade’s office. She’s that good. Just get an appointment. Jeff Kendrick
Fantastic experience: Active Life Chiropractic are the best! World class staffing from Doctors to the friendly and efficient front desk staff. I’ve been a long time patient and highly recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shade helped me avoid surgery! That's a miracle.
Fantastic experience: I’ve received wonderful care from Dr Schade and her staff for several years. Highly recommend to anyone looking to feel better!
Fantastic experience: I had long covid for almost a year and a half, and in combination with other treatments, what finally got me 100% well again was a Biomagnetism treatment with Dr. Schade. I will be eternally grateful for fully recovering my health and will sing Dr. Schade's praises to anyone who will listen.
Thank you Amy, I am SO glad you are feeling better!
Fantastic experience: I don't think I can ever thank Dr. Schade and Dr. Epps enough for what they have done for me. My lower back hurt bad enough to the point where I couldn't stand up straight. I wasn't comfortable unless I was laying flat on the floor, and even that didn't bring lasting comfort. There was never a single event I could pinpoint the reason for my back just falling apart out of nowhere. Their adjustments are literal magic. I was going to a chiropractor in San Antonio twice a week for 8 weeks with absolutely no change. I had to do some in-person training in Austin for a week, and after just two visits I can honestly say my back is already in so much better shape, it's just astonishing. If you've ever been to another chiropractic office, and didn't feel like it did anything, it's because they aren't listening to you and they aren't adjusting you to your specific issues. In fact, they are probably giving you the most basic adjustment you can get, and telling you to go home and ice it. Dr. Schade and Dr. Epps listen. They can examine you, and can pinpoint the areas that are causing your issues, and you can start feeling better in less than a week (my personal experience). They both have their own techniques, and both of them are amazing. I hope that if you are seeking a chiropractor, or on the fence about going to one, you will consider Active Life Chiropractic Clinic. Your body will thank you. And for some of you, it can be the difference between giving up to live with pain and discomfort, and starting your journey to actual healing.
Fantastic experience: Very good doctors do a very good job.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Andrew helps us stay active and pain free.
Fantastic experience: Great Chiro care.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Schade for chiropractic adjustments for several years now. I have always had experience and leave the office feeling much after an adjustment. I recently had a massage with Jhinna and it was AMAZING! I had a lot of tension in my neck and upper back and when my massage was over the pain was gone. I've had many massages and this was by far the best.
Thank you, Theresa! We're so glad you had such a great experience!
Fantastic experience: Hands down, Jhinna Salinas deliver an awesome deep tissue massage (per my request). Very welcoming, attentive to pain, patient and clearly knowledgeable. She provided the exact level of pressure needed to feel immediate relief after my massage was over. Great place, clean facility and great professional communication on deliverance; especially following all COVID-19 restrictions. Definitely! I would recommend her to family and friends. Thanks, Jhinna.
Thank you so much for this awesome review! We appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade and her staff are absolutely amazing! I’ve had chronic shoulder pain for a few years and in the few times I’ve seen her, she’s worked wonders. I’m so happy I found Active Life, and would recommend her any day.
Thank you, Chrissy!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Angelo for a few months now and he's been exceptional in taking care of my alignment, and my mini dachshund. My favorite part, is he only does what's needed, no additional/necessary treatments etc. including vitamin and mineral supplements that are so much better than the ones I had been taking from the grocery store. Thanks, Doc!
Thanks so much for leaving a review for us, Gareth!
Fantastic experience: Active Life is the best decision, that I made to get help with my low back stiffness. Doc really took the time to fully analyze my lower back. Also, with the help of Chad & Nathan really helped improve my movement & meal prep. The 3 of them really make an amazing team! Thank you'll so much for what you have done for me!!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Kind, gentle, and friendly! They were able to get me in last minute and assist me in feeling myself again! Very knowledgeable about various techniques to assist with adjustments!
Thank you very much, Elena!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Schade literally changed my life! I had an acute lower back injury that was so bad I had to call out of work for 2 weeks. I had immediate pain relief after my first visit, and my PT sessions helped me recover just in time before my Christmas vacation. I highly recommend! Also shoutouts to Chad who is extremely patient and great at explaining what you’re doing and why during treatment!
Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendation. We are so glad we were able to help you!
Fantastic experience: Active Life is patient care focused. I first went for severe sciatic pain down my leg from my back. After several treatments I was pain free! I continued to go for over a year. As a senior citizen, I never thought I could be this pain free without the use of drugs or surgery. I truly believe Active Life has improved my mobility and improved my quality of life....other doctors just wanted to give me drugs, painful shots, even surgery. I recommend Active Life to anyone wanting to be drug free and pain free!
Thank you so much, Gail! We are happy you had such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr Schade is an amazing healer. I've gone to her for years, and recently I was in a lot of pain throughout my body. She adjusted me with the help of Emotion Code and Body Code, and also did some Magnetic Therapy. The next day I was nearly pain free! And the low pain level, which is unusual for me lasted for almost a week, in spite of me overdoing it.
Thank you so much for the review, Penny!
Negative experience: Avoid this clinic like the plague. It's the Titanic and is headed to the bottom of the ocean forever. They don't care about you, they care about how much money they can get from the services they provide...even if they don't provide those services. Shady practices.. Tons of other clinic that are legal, legit and really care about the health and progress of each patients progress. Go to those clinics!!!
Sorry we didn't meet your expectations.
Fantastic experience: Active Life Medical Center is my go-to for any instance I have an injury, pain or discomfort. I injured my mid-back doing overhead presses and tried to find a chiropractor that could help me recover. The team here is top-notch, methodical, receptive, helpful and polite. They were able to provide the plan that allowed me to make a full recovery. After I got better, I stopped going for a few months. The imbalances creeped back in because I started experiencing pain on my left knee when I would go running. I thought it wouldn't hurt to Active Life since they were able to help the first time around and it's amazing how they take the holistic approach and saw that the knee pain was a result of my imbalances and saw how my left foot would be more outward than the other. They saw the muscles that were weak that were causing other muscles to compensate, etc. They put me on a plan and I have not been experiencing any pain when I run. Goes without saying they are also very polite and nice. After I showed up months later, Leslie and the rest of the staff still remembered my name and were happy to see me. You can definitely trust them to help you get to where you want to be.
Thank you so much for this great review, Andres! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Update: after 4 years, I still feel the same as I did below about The Medical Center for an Active Life. They know body mechanics here. I was blown away by the approach taken at The Medical Center for an Active Life. The doctors here spend the time to fully analyze the mechanics of my body. I was able to learn more about my body's mechanics in that first consultation than I had learned from all the 25 years of previous chiropractic experiences combined. The Medical Center for an Active Life takes a holistic approach with a long term solution to wellness combining adjustments with therapy, massage, stimulation, and bio magnets to ensure the body's mechanics are restored to their natural function. I have not felt this good since I was in my early 20's and highly recommend The Medical Center for an Active Life.
Thank you for the amazing review, Jimmy!
