Have you heard of pronation in your foot? Do your foot rotate inwards while you walk or stand? Without a proper arch support it can cause various foot, knee, hip, and back problems. Why? Because if your foot rotate inward or you have a decrease arch high, this can cause your knee twisting in and this causes tension on your hip joint. Your hip joint then effects your low back. You will have low back pain because your pelvis is shifting forward due to your hip, knee and foot. Your foot is the foundation of your body if you do not have a solid foundation you will pron to injuries.
How to avoid these problems? Chiropractic check up and foot exam can help you find out if you have fallen arch syndrome. Chiropractic adjustments, rehab exercises and custom made foot inserts have been proven to be very effective and creates long lasting results!

Please Pray for Greg- Expect The Unexpected
Life is full of unexpected things. Out of nowhere it can throw you a curve ball and caught you by surprise. It was a gray, wet, chilly and rainy morning. I went to Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle to see a friend. I parked my car in the garage, took the elevator to the lobby, walked across the street to the emergency department, passed through there to the East building, took the elevator again to the third floor in the West building and saw Greg, our massage therapist. He had a stroke 2 weeks ago at home and he has been in the hospital since. He has another surgery scheduled this Friday. He was tired today. I spoke to him and his brother and I left shortly.
It was quite an uneasy and nerve-racking experience for me since the time I stepped into the hospital. I felt very sorry and helpless for people who are in the neurosurgery unit especially for Greg. It must be very tough going through that whole process and get your life back to where it was. This has kept me thinking the whole day and tried to look at it in a different angle.
This is something we cannot prepare for it. We can do our best to keep ourselves or love ones healthy and active physically, mentally and spiritually. And leave the rest to God. Let's all pray for Greg. I pray that he will have a safe surgery and speedy recovery. We would love to see him join us again soon. Please keep him in your prayer, thanks.

Why do you want to open your own clinic?
People ask me this question a lot.
I open my own clinic because:
It is fun, challenging, and exciting! I got my athletic training degree in 1999 and finished my chiropractic degree in 2005. I have been practicing chiropractic for 5 years on the Eastside. I am combining chiropractic and sports medicine in my treatment plan. I have found that this is really great for the patients. Not only their spine is in alignment longer but also their back is stronger. Because we have implemented exercise protocols for the neck and back. The treatment is efficient, effective and long lasting!

Do you get adjueted Doc?
Hey, just wondering do you get adjusted, Dr. Cheng? Patients ask me this sometimes.
Yes, I do. I get adjusted about once a month if no sooner. Why? Because I want to keep my spine in good shape and keep myself healthy. I want my body to function and perform at its best. Waiting when I have back or neck pain to see a chiropractor is the last thing I want to do. Why? Because it takes longer to get better. It is always easier to prevent the problem than fixing the problem. Do you agree?
Last, who give you adjustments? My chiropractic friends do. You can contact me at activespines.com

Why do you become a chiropractor?
People often ask me why do you become a chiropractor? It always starts like this:
I was an athletic trainer while in college back in Taiwan. I was helping athletes with various sports injuries ranging from sprain/strain to post surgical rehabilitation. It was a great time in my life applying what I learned in class and helping people out. In my senior year while preparing for GRE and graduate school, out of the blue my dad told me about chiropractic. He heard about chiropractic through his friend in Japan and saw the chiropractor due to his chronic low back pain. After his adjustment, he felt much better. He came home and told me about it. I was skeptical at first but later I requested information from chiropractic schools in the USA. After reviewing all the materials, I decided to study chiropractic instead of going to graduate school. At that time the chiropractic curriculum looked pretty intense and just a lot more than graduate school. But I liked the challenge and believed that I can do it. Therefore I left Taiwan and came to the USA for chiropractic school. As after four long years of studying I got my degree in early 2005 and started practicing chiropractic. As a chiropractor I can offer more than treating sports injuries, but see patients in all age group and many different conditions. This is my story. You can email me at info@activespines.com

Our Massage Therapist
Greg Pang LMP, a native of Seattle, WA, is a fourth-generation healer, preceded by his uncle, an herbal physician in China, his maternal grandmother, an herbalist, and her father (Greg's great-grandfather), a Chinese herbal physician.
As a Massage Practitioner, Greg's specialty is utilizing medical massage modalities with hydrotherapy techniques, for a more effective treatment course. He utilizes techniques, such as Trager work, neuromuscular re-education, trigger point work, Swedish movement and myofascial release, with more traditional Swedish and deep tissue massage, along with contrast hydrotherapy (hot and cold packs). The end-results are a more relaxed and centered patient, with a faster healing time.
Greg received his Therapeutic Massage and Clinical Hydrotherapy certificate from the Northwest School of Massage and Hydrotherapy, in Seattle, WA (1987), and is a Licensed Massage Practitioner in the state of Washington (1988). He is also a graduate of the American College of Naturopathic Medicine in Salem, OR (1982), graduating with distinction in Pediatrics. And he is a graduate of the University of Washington (1977), graduating in Economics and Pre-medicine.
Greg enjoys beach combing, surfing the Internet and digital photography. He is the proud father of two grown sons, the eldest, an Air Force officer, and the younger, a federal officer.
