After YEARS of shoulder pain and cortisone shots which no longer worked, I tried the Softwave therapy recommended by a good friend. On the first visit, it was life changing!!!! Gigi explained the machine and procedure in detail. I will be going back for more therapy. FYI- not covered by insurance, although it is FDA approved.

I can’t recommend Active Chiropractic enough! Dr. Matt has helped me tremendously in my journey with severe back pain and disc issues—his care has truly made a difference. Dr. Molly and Gigi have been incredible for muscle tension and soft wave therapy, helping bring so much relief and mobility back into my daily life. Red Light Therapy with Lindsay G. has also been a game changer for my recovery after surgery—helping manage chronic pain and inflammation while even improving my sleep. Beyond the treatments, the entire experience at Active is exceptional. From the providers to the front desk staff, everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. If you’re looking for support with chiropractic care, soft wave therapy, or red light therapy, I would highly recommend Active Chiropractic!

They keep me alive one back crack at a time

My elbow had been bothering me for awhile. I tried several different remedies and nothing was making a difference. Dr. Matt did softwave on my elbow. It has helped considerably. Appreciate his patience to work with me on my injury! Feeling better and better everyday.

We’ve been going to Active Chiro for years. My whole family gets treated at the office. My son has used the Softwave Therapy to recover from baseball injury. Recently, I lost almost 20 lbs using the Renu Light Infrared Therapy. I feel great and highly recommend Active Chiro for your family chiropractic needs!

Consistently great service and care! I’ve been working with Dr. Matt for a number of years. The combination of soft tissue work, stretching, adjustments, and other services address, both chronic and acute needs. I appreciate the friendly and clean office!

I’ve been going to Allie Farmer for massage for many years now and she’s amazing. My shoulders and I don’t know what we would do without her!

I have been going to Lindsay at Active Chiropractic regularly for therapeutic massage over the past year or so, and have been more than satisfied by the services. I am always warmly welcomed and they take great care to make sure I have a good experience there. In addition, if there are any glitches eg illness, they contact me immediately, and we can sort it out very quickly. I am a big fan and will continue to go there!

Allie does wonderful body work and is extremely attentive to areas needing extra care. Highly recommended massage person.👍👍👍👍

This is my go to spot for any kind of body and energy work. The office environment is calming and well run. Fantastic communication and easy online booking. Lindsay is my absolute favorite massage therapist and energy worker. She has so much wisdom and grace in both working with muscles and releasing tension. She also understands how energy flows through the body. I love my appointments with her and always leave feeling lighter and more grounded.

I’ve been going to Active Chiropractic for years. It’s tough to imagine where I’d be without their expertise and proven abilities. There have been times where I’ve walked in the door with debilitating pains that I carried with me for weeks, and within just one visit I walked out the door pain free. I was amazed and continue to be amazed at their ability to heal and quickly. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Molly is incredible! I have had chronic neck pain for 11 years and tried everything, including a different chiropractor. She was able to figure out why my pain is being caused and adjust me and provide me with exercises that has allowed me to exercise again. And that was after one appointment with her! I cannot recommend highly enough!

I've been coming here for a few years now to see Dr. Matt and Lindsay after my sister recommended Active Chiropractic. They are both amazing!!! I've been to gimmicky chiropractor offices, that is not what you'll get here. They really care about their clients and want to help, also collaborating between chiropractors, massage therapists, and others to get you the best care for your body. Lindsay gives the most relaxing massages and between her and Dr. Matt, my TMJ jaw has stopped popping after 10+ years of nothing helping. Even with that issue solved, I love going as part of my stress management to force myself to cut off and relax. I've been to a few chiropractic offices in Raleigh, this is by far the best!

I’ve been going to Active Chiropractic and seeing Dr. Molly for years, and more recently I started working with Dr. Matt — and I can’t say enough good things about him or the practice as a whole. Over the past year and a half, Dr. Matt has been instrumental in helping me recover from hip surgery, while also keeping me on track with regular chiropractic maintenance. His knowledge, care and attention to long-term wellness have made a huge difference in how I feel day-to-day. Active Chiropractic is truly a staple in my wellness toolkit. Highly recommend!

I've been seeing Dr. Matt for a couple of months now after hurting my knee. Though I'd been to the practice before (after surgery for a herniated disc) it has been many years and I was pleased to learn about new (at least new to me!) types of treatments they have now. Dr. Matt recommended Softwave treatments for me and they have been just the ticket. Between the chiropractic services and the Softwave therapy, I feel like I'm 20 yo again when I walk out of that office...and that's a wonderful thing since I'm in my 60s!! Oh, I don't want to leave out that the ladies at the front desk are so nice and extremely helpful. I totally recommend this practice.

After being told I had periodontal disease, I knew I wasn’t willing to accept the standard “manage it forever” narrative. I wanted true healing—not just symptom control. That’s when I found SoftWave therapy at Active Chiropractic with Josh Larimar LMT SoftWave works on a cellular level. The research shows that these acoustic waves disrupt harmful, pathogenic bacteria and biofilms while increasing blood flow, oxygenation, and cellular signaling—creating an environment where the good bacteria can actually thrive. Healing can’t happen in a toxic terrain, and SoftWave helps reset that terrain. What made the difference for me was the combination: SoftWave therapy, red light therapy, and targeted supportive herbs to address inflammation, tissue repair, and microbiome balance. Together, they supported regeneration of the gums, reduced infection, and allowed my body to do what it’s designed to do—heal. Dr. Molly didn’t just bring a machine into her practice—she brought vision. She understands that the mouth is connected to the entire nervous system and immune system, and that oral health is foundational to whole-body health. Today my gums are healthy, stable, and pain-free—and I no longer carry the fear that this condition is “inevitable” or progressive. If you’re dealing with gum disease, chronic inflammation, or have been told “there’s nothing you can do,” know this: There are regenerative options. There are practitioners leading the way. And healing is possible when you address the root—not just the surface. I’m profoundly grateful for Active Chiropractic and Dr. Molly for being ahead of the curve and brave enough to offer real solutions.

Had my first deep tissue massage with Susan, what an AMAZING experience! She was thorough, not only focusing on my complaint areas, but asked questions and provided feedback for ways I could work on problem areas at home. HIGHLY recommend and have already scheduled to see her again!

The best! Dr. Molly and her team at Active Chiropractic are simply the best. From the front office staff who always have a warm welcome to the expert care and high quality communication from the practitioners, I have never felt so good. After my most recent visit, I felt like I’d been transported through a Time Machine and was instantly 15 years younger.

If you are pregnant, or not, you must book a massage with Susan Rotman here. It is the best hour of your life. When I was pregnant I started going once a week the last 4 weeks and any pain I had would disappear.

I have been going to Dr Molly for over 15 years. She has consistently listened to me and my body's needs. She has been a voice of calmness and knowledge as I have gone through some very serious health issues over that time. I have probably used all their services and purchased many of the health products they offer because I thoroughly trust their guidance. I have been to a handful of chiropractors in Raleigh over the 25 years I have lived here and always recommend Active Chiropractic to my friends and family. I know they care about my health and wellness. They are a unique group of loving and caring humans!!

Absolutely love Active Chiropractic & Wellness! Dr. Molly is amazing and has addressed so many issues with different methods including neck and shoulder pain, reflux, migraines and vertigo! The entire staff is lovely and each time I walk in, I am immediately put at ease. I can't recommend Dr. Molly and her incredible team enough!

My family and I have been loyal patrons of Active for several years now. Migraines initially brought me in to see Molly however since then we’ve been cared for in so many ways by the entire team. From the kind & caring admin team to quick access to quality supplements when a need arises or the best massage therapists in Raleigh, it’s become our go to for health and wellness. Additionally, I’ve gone through two pregnancies and post partum recoveries with this team. Both have been pain-free pregnancies, fast and unmedicated births, as well as holistic recovery due to the expertise and care found at Active. I cannot recommend this team more!

After several months of pain, I was very nervous going in for dry needling treatment for my plantar fasciitis. I found out about Softwave Therapy, and it has been a game changer! The sessions were quick, non invasive, and very reassuring in my healing progress. Dr Molly and her team have been so generous! I am so thankful to be recommended to Active!

Dr. Molly and her staff are very dedicated to ensure everyone is given the best care possible.

I’ve been coming to Active Chiro for years and consistently receive excellent care- whether it’s for massage, chiropractic, softwave or acupuncture- the entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their patients. The office itself has a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that makes every visit positive and something I look forward to.

How many ways can I say I appreciate everyone at this practice! Always greater with a smile and feel like myself when I leave. Thank you to everyone at Active. Dr. Molly really knows the body and how to help you. She will not only help straighten you out but also give you exercises or stretches to do at home to maintain her work. Been a happy client for more than a decade. I would also trust anyone employed there whether it be for chiropractics or massage. They also offer Soft Wave treatments to help support healing. I personally have been trying to manage hip pain for some time now, soft wave has made a huge difference in mobility and my pain is almost completely gone. I believe with proper maintenance on my end to take care of my body I will no longer be slowed down by my hip.

Great treatment plan. Thank You

I see Allie for massage therapy and she is fantastic - cannot recommend enough for deep tissue body work. Has helped tremendously with my back and neck pain. The studio is lovely and welcoming (and styled really cute 🙂 )

Active Chiropractic and Wellness is far more than just a chiropractic office. It’s a community environment with services that cover all aspects of well-being. Personally through red light therapy, and soft wave, I have seen major improvements in how my body feels overall! And the staff is amazing!

Seen for chiropractic care back, neck, and shoulders, as well as sound therapy for Planters Facitits. I am thoroughly impressed with this office. I have been to see other chiropractors in Raleigh before and none compare. The office staff are all very friendly and engaging. I'm always greeted with a smile. The office itself is beautiful and very inviting. Dr. Murphy has been amazing to work with. I was in a ton of pain, struggling with sleep, and was just overall miserable. In just a few sessions, I was feeling a million times better. He seems to really care about his patients and always takes the time to talk and to educate me on how what he's doing, why something feels the way it does, and how I can better take care of myself. I highly recommend.

I have been going to Active Chiropractic for almost 10 years now. Dr Molly and her team are so compassionate about providing the very best comprehensive chiropractic care. In addition to standard adjustments, they offer various therapies including acupuncture, massage, softwave and red light! The space is modern, staff are always welcoming — not to mention the selection of supplements from the cleanest brands! On top of her top notch care, Dr Molly is incredibly resourceful & a genuinely kind human and I can’t recommend her practice enough!

I would highly recommend trying soft wave therapy! I was a bit skeptical having never tried it, but I was having so much trouble with plantar fasciitis and had already tried a cortisone injection, steroids and PT over a 3 month period with no improvement. I saw Gigi and started a soft wave treatment plan and felt improvement within 10 days and continued to improve significantly working with her! By the end of my treatment plan my foot was almost back to normal. And it is easy to extend treatment if you wish to! In addition, Gigi treated my thumb joint which has osteoarthritis. I’ve taken meloxicam for years to control the pain and be able to use my hand. I have tried stopping the meloxicam but the pain was too intense. However, the soft wave treatment made a significant difference without taking any meloxicam! Actually pretty miraculous! I would recommend trying soft wave therapy for a variety of issues based on my experience. Gigi is awesome!

Fantastic staff and doctors! First timer for Chiro and better than i expected! Was nervous and Dr Matt always walked me through every step! I am now painfrrr and have a plan for stating that way! Thanka

I have been seeing Dr. Matt at Active Chiropractic for several years now. I love this practice and he has helped me through a lot of intense triathlon training; always there to address whatever aches, pains or strains are going on. It’s clear that they really pay attention to the details of the office environment, and to who they choose to work there and interface with clients. The staff is so friendly and upbeat and the environment is very relaxing, clean and cheery. I would highly highly recommend Active Chiropractic for any chiropractic massage or nutrition needs.

Looking for a bit of zen and overall good vibes in <30 minutes? Red light therapy is your answer! Lindsay is an amazing wellness partner who aligns with your goals and supports you every step of the way, and the staff at Active are all friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! 🙂

Used to live in Raleigh and saw Molly whenever I needed. She always had the root cause of my symptoms figured out within 2-3 session if at all. Still go and see her whenever I’m in town!

Love Active Chiropractic. I go there for chiropractic care, red light therapy, and soft wave treatment when needed as well as massage .

The red light therapy is fantastic!!!

Amazing !! 😻 my skin has a glow and inflammation has gone!!!

Allie is the goat. If you dont know, now you know. *mic drop Also, she deserves a raise. Make it happen!

Hands down the best chiropractic office in the area. Dr. Molly is incredible. The office staff are so helpful and kind. Softwave has been a complete game changer. If you're looking for a holistic approach, this is your place!

All of the doctors and staff at Active Chiropractic are so helpful, friendly, and caring. Their SoftWave and chiropractic care have made a tremendous difference in my health.

From the moment I walked in I was comforted. A calming welcoming reception area got me ready for my first massage with Lindsay Dusseau. Active Chiropractor is a chiropractors office. And the chiropractor Josh has made my body feel put together. But Lindsay makes every cell of my body renewed and ready for the pressures facing us. Strengthened, freer to move confidently, calmed. A brilliant experience.

I've been seeing Dr. Molly for the past 9 years, and I can't recommend her enough! She is absolutely amazing — not only incredibly skilled, but also one of the few practitioners who truly listens to your concerns and takes the time to understand what's going on. Every visit feels personalized, and her care has made such a difference in my overall well-being. Whether I'm dealing with pain, tension, or just need an adjustment, I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. If you're looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares and delivers results, Dr. Molly is it!

If you're looking for a chiropractic experience that’s thorough, innovative, and genuinely caring, Active Chiropractic is the place to go.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Molly at Active Chiropractic since 2010, and I can honestly say she is one of the most caring, knowledgeable, and attentive healthcare professionals I’ve ever worked with. Over the years, she’s helped me through everything from routine adjustments to more complex issues—and every visit is met with genuine care and thoughtful treatment. Dr. Molly truly listens, takes the time to explain what’s going on, and offers solutions that actually work. She’s not only improved my physical well-being, but she’s also someone I trust and recommend to all my friends and family. If you're looking for a chiropractor who’s experienced, compassionate, and truly invested in her patients’ health, look no further than Dr. Molly and the amazing team at Active Chiropractic. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I started seeing Lindsey right after finishing chemotherapy. She was an integral part of my healing journey. She is brilliant when it comes to understanding the body, mind and nervous system. In addition, she is simply just a beautiful human who truly cares for her clients. She continues to be a safe place for me to land and I will forever be grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life.

The team at Active Chiropractic are amazing! I have my share of aches and pains (repetitive stress injuries, nerve impingements, sciatica, etc). They work together to make me feel better. I’ve seen Dr Molly for many years, and she’s always up on the latest treatments, be it soft tissue Active Release Techniques, Softwave treatments, or traditional adjustments. As appropriate, she uses the entire tool chest to help me feel better fast. Dr Josh has treated me for cervical impingements using the McKenzie technique. I was amazed how quickly the numbness and tingling in my arm was relieved. Erin, my massage therapist, is also excellent. She takes the time to understand my trouble areas and treats me holistically. When I’m particularly stressed, she employs Cranial-sacral therapy to calm my central nervous system. She is highly skilled. The Active Chiropractic team are top notch and have always taken care of me!

I highly recommend Active Chiropractic! I have been seeing Dr. Molly for 13 years for chiropractic care and Lindsay for massage consistently the past 2 years. They are both phenomenal practitioners and very knowledgeable. The whole staff is very welcoming and friendly, and always helpful with any questions.

Active Chiropractic is the best! As an aging athlete, they have been able to keep me going with all of the different treatments/modalities they provide! I would highly recommend Molly and her team!!

Dr. Molly is great, I’ve been going to her for years. She’s always up to date on the latest modalities and research. She asks the right questions and actually listens to the responses. Her comprehensive, intuitive approach sets her apart from other practitioners that I’ve seen. I highly recommend her.

After weeks of searching for a lymphatic massage I came across Susan. She was amazing. Listened to my needs and wants throughout the session. Hopefully I am on the road to recovering after finding her. If there was 10 stars I would have selected that. Susan you are beyond amazing. Thank you

Susan Rotman has such a calming demeanor. Took the time to explain the massage process before beginning and during the massage. An amazing experience, definitely leaving better than when I arrived.

Did I mention that you only want to go here if you want a whole vibe, exceptional customer service, whole body healing, and a full on want to return? Like seriously. Book today

Staff is amazing!!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Lindsay Dusseau! I've been seeing Lindsay for Reiki massage monthly for few years now, and she is such a gift! She has a calm, intuitive presence and I am relaxed the minute I walk in. Every session is super grounding and she always seems to know exactly what my body needs, even if I don't. I walk out of each session feeling lighter and more balanced. Lindsay is skilled, kind and genuinely cares for her clients. The space at Active Chiropractic is peaceful, the staff is friendly and the energy is good. I highly recommend Lindsay to anyone seeking not just relaxation, but real energetic balance and inner peace!!

The absolute best Chiropractic clinic! Dr Hall is simply the best! She truly cares and is very knowledgeable. The staff is amazing and super friendly!

Susan Rotman is a gift. She helped me relax during a stressful time with a fantastic massage. Highly recommend!

Amazing deep tissue massage

Simply the best! So grateful for Dr. Molly and the entire staff at Active Chiropractic!
