About Us
Since 2018, we’ve been helping Chattanoogans stay active in their favorite sports and recreational activities with a personalized, root-cause approach that promotes long-term wellness. Our treatment focuses on joint and soft tissue restrictions, movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and the way you eat, train, and live – all of which impact your health and performance. We trust in the body’s natural ability to heal, and our care is designed to support that process.
What We Do
Chiropractic Care
Restore Alignment. Improve Mobility. Reduce Pain.
We use targeted spinal and extremity adjustments to improve joint mechanics, reduce stress on the nervous system, and get your body moving the way it should.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Release Tension. Improve Recovery. Enhance Function.
Manual therapy techniques to reduce muscle tightness, break up adhesions, and improve circulation — all critical for unlocking mobility and resolving the root cause of pain.
Functional Rehab
Retrain Movement. Build Strength. Prevent Re-Injury.
We use corrective exercises and mobility work to re-educate your body, strengthen weak links, and create sustainable improvements you can feel every day.

All the staff at Proactive Health are wonderful. Mike has helped me through the most debilitating injury that took away all joy of running and working out. Through many sessions, he gave me the holistic approach to my recovery that I was missing. I am now pain free and loving exercise again which makes such a difference in every aspect of my health!

★★★★★
Very personal and knowledgeable about what they do best. Came in with lingering back issues and had me feeling pain free within the first few visits. Made me feel comfortable trying new adjustment techniques (won’t attempt anything they wouldn’t want done on themselves) and confident I’m always in good hands. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

I can't speak highly enough about Drs. Natalie and Mike. They are both very kind, considerate, careful, and extremely knowledgeable. After the first session I was already sleeping better, and a lot of upper back/neck pain from working at a desk all day was relieved. I also appreciate that they give you exercises and stretches that help maintain rather than simply adjusting and having you schedule to come back the expecting to be hurting.

One of the best encounters with a medical professional I've ever had. Dr. Eyerly took the time to fully screen me to see what the actual problem was, not just what hurt. I started feeling pain relief after my first visit.

When I started working with Dr. Mike two months ago, I had been trying to work through some nagging injuries and imbalances on my own with little success. Over the last two months, I’ve fully recovered and have had zero recurrences of my former issues. Not only did I get some instant relief with each session, my baseline improved steadily over time. The dual approach of treatment and functional movement helped me to injury proof myself while recovering. Highly recommend.

FAQ
-
We are a direct pay, out of network provider. Most patients opt to pay via cash, credit card, HSA, or FSA.
However, you can opt to request a superbill from us to submit to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement!
-
Insurance companies dictate the kind of care you can receive, the amount that you can receive it, and when your care is complete.
Their rules get more strict, and their reimbursement rates go down every year.
This creates a situation where traditional clinics offer the same care to everyone, time-cap services, and only focus on getting you out of pain, rather than fixing the root cause of your pain.
In our model, the only people involved in the decision making process about your healthcare is you and us.
This allows us to have full autonomy over the time spent with patients yielding quicker results that last longer.
-
Your first appointment is all about understanding you.
Your problem. Your body. Your goals.
It will last about 60 minutes and include a comprehensive review of your current injury, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, activity levels, and goals.
Then, you’ll perform a full-body functional movement analysis to help us understand how your body works.
From there we will examine everything in-depth to determine the source of your pain.
From your exam, we move directly into treatment on the same day (unless you need any type of diagnostic imaging or referral).
After your first session, we will create a customized treatment plan to achieve your goals.
Plan to wear comfortable clothes you can move in!
Follow up visits are 1:1 and range from 15 min to 60 min depending on your needs.
