About Proactive Health | Sports Chiropractor & Functional Medicine
Created for People Who Want More From Their Care
Since 2018, Proactive Health has been dedicated to helping the greater Chattanooga community move better, feel stronger, and build long-term health — with a personalized, root-cause approach that fills the gaps conventional care leaves behind.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide exceptional natural healthcare that patients need and deserve, allowing them to recover fully, perform at their best, and take control of their long-term health.
Our Story
Leaders In Holistic Health & Wellness
Proactive Health started with an idea: that health care should be personal, proactive, and built around the whole person. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional care, we set out to create something better — combining both internal and external health optimization to help people feel and live their best.
We believe in a whole body, root-cause approach. Each individual has unique goals and challenges — so no recovery plan, performance strategy, or path to healing should ever be one-size-fits-all. We take a 360-degree view of each client’s internal and external health to create a plan that that’s as individualized as they are. That’s how we’ve helped hundreds of people break the cycle of pain and build a long term strategy for optimal wellness.
Success That Speaks for Itself
Our clients come to us for one reason — they’re ready for something that actually works. With a personalized, root-cause approach, we help active, health-conscious adults overcome pain, optimize performance, and build long-term resilience.

Our Beliefs About Injury and Recovery
Your Body Is Built to Heal
We trust in the body’s natural ability to recover and adapt when given the right tools and guidance.
Pain Is Your Body’s Warning Light
Pain is not the problem, it’s a signal, and we’re here to decode it.
Quick Fixes Are Not Solutions
Pain relief is important, but lasting recovery requires addressing the root cause of the issue, not just masking the symptoms.
Movement Is Medicine
The right movement, at the right time, is one of the most powerful tools for healing and performance enhancement.
Everyone’s Journey Is Unique
No two bodies are the same, and neither are two injuries. That’s why we take a personalized approach, tailoring every plan to your specific needs and goals.
You Are Not Your Imaging
X-rays and MRIs tell only part of the story. We focus on how you feel, move, and function, not just what a picture shows, because your recovery is about more than a scan.
Meet the Founders
Lead with Purpose. Care with Intention.
Dr. Mike Eyerly, DC
Co-Founder | Rehab & Performance | Chiropractor
Dr. Mike is the driving force behind our movement-based care model — a blend of sports chiropractic, rehab, strength training, and recovery strategy that helps people move better, train smarter, and stay injury-free.
As an athlete and lifelong student of human performance, Mike believes that strength, mobility, and pain-free movement should be foundational — not negotiable. He created the physical side of Proactive Health to give active adults the clarity, structure, and results they weren’t getting elsewhere.
Whether it’s getting back in the gym, staying on the field, or simply moving through life with confidence — Dr. Mike helps clients rebuild strength, fix what’s been holding them back, and reach new levels of performance.
Dr. Natalie Bays, DC, MS
Co-Founder | Functional Medicine & Nutrition | Chiropractor
Dr. Natalie leads our internal health, functional medicine, and nutrition programs — helping clients uncover the root causes of fatigue, inflammation, hormone imbalances, and gut dysfunction.
With a doctorate in chiropractic and a master’s in nutrition and functional medicine, she guides people who feel “off” or overlooked by the traditional system. Her work brings science, strategy, and real-life support together to help clients take ownership of their health and feel vibrant again.
Dr. Natalie’s mission is simple: to help people stop guessing, start healing, and create long-term vitality from the inside out.
