Treatment
How we treat it
We combine hands-on chiropractic care with advanced, non-surgical technologies to match the plan to your problem.

Hands-on correction to restore movement and ease pressure on the nerve.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical traction that takes load off compressed discs.
Softwave Regenerative Therapy
Shockwave technology that stimulates the body to repair tissue.
Therapeutic Massage
Soft-tissue work that helps an adjustment hold longer.
Muscle Stimulation
Gentle electrical stimulation to calm spasm and reduce pain.
Nutritional Counseling
Practical dietary support for inflammation, energy and weight.
What to expect
Care in three phases
We are straight with you about how long things take. Care runs in stages, and you are told at each one what the goal is.
- 01
Relief care
The first goal is simply to get the pain down, with visits close together while symptoms settle.

Corrective care
Once you are comfortable, we work on the underlying cause so the problem stops returning.
More on corrective care - 03
Wellness care
Occasional visits to keep you moving well and catch small problems before they become big ones.

Meet the doctor
Dr. Brent Reiche, D.C.
Brent graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2000, practiced in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to Maine in 2002. He opened Active Chiropractic in Saco in 2003.
Today the practice is in a modern clinic on North Street with on-site X-ray, decompression and SoftWave under one roof. Dr. Brent has been the official chiropractor for the Raging Tide baseball team and built the giant foam parade spine you may have seen at local parades.
Patient stories
What our patients say
Six weeks ago, I started with Sciatica issues for the first time. The pain was intolerable upon sitting, standing, and walking… I am happy and thankful to say that not only is the pain gone, but I have stopped the Tylenol and Ibuprofen and am actually sleeping better as well.
Cindy
In the thirty years that I have had a problem with my back I have seen many Chiropractors and Osteopathic doctors. The only time I have shown improvement is under Dr. Brent’s care.
N. C.
After my first visit, the doctor did more for me than the 4 weeks of treatment I received at a different office. He was confident and very good at his job.
