I couldn't drive home fast enough to write this review. For the last several months, I have had lower back pain. I thought my body was telling me to rest. Therefore, I stopped, going to the gym and doing most of my daily activities outdoors in fear I would make things worse. Exercise and the outdoors are my medicine to heal my every day stressors and mental health. My coworker told me about Dr. Scott and so I made an appointment and met with him today. I learned so much and felt 100% better when I left in fact, I cried because I have been struggling and the amount of discomfort being lifted really just made me want to go on a 20 mile bike ride. If there's one thing that I've learned in life is that there are Doctors and there are Healers. Dr. Scott is incredible and more than just a healer but has a great deal of understanding how important it is for energy to flow properly through your body. My only regret is that I didn't find him months ago. Take care of yourself always and make the necessary steps to put yourself first. read more

We have been patients of Dr. Scott for 4 years now. His commitment to our overall health has really helped my wife and I stay balanced. I have been seeing chiropractors since I was in high school. Dr. Scott is by far the best adjuster I've seen. Those that have used chiropractors before know the value of a great adjuster and Dr. Scott never disappoints. Terry (the CMT at the office) always does a great job with a short pre adjustment massage to help open up your spine. We are now 1 week from giving birth and still getting adjusted. Very important for expecting mothers to be regularly seen as the nervous system is the center of the body. Dr. Scott has reduced the physical and emotional stress during my wife's pregnancy and I can't say thank you enough for that...... Thanks to Terry and Dr Scott for all the great care over the years and we look forward to continued health with your services. read more

I hugely recommend Dr. Scott! I went in thinking I had a bad hamstring and glut injury. I was unable to move my left leg without a lot of pain and very limited movement. I was better after the first session, a lot better after the second and could not believe the flexibility and use I had regained by the 3rd visit!!! He and Kristin are so caring, professional and knowledgeable. I am a patient and fan for life, now understanding I need his regular adjustment to keep spine from compressing and creating nerve pain. I have full use of all limbs and no pain. I am grateful to be walking the hills, doing pilates and practicing yoga daily! Thank you Dr. Scott!!!!! Deb C. read more

Great experience with Dr. Threde! I came in with lower back pain that was made worse during long periods of sitting. I had X-rays and showed no sign of issue with the lower back. Dr. Scott investigated and found that the loss of curve in my neck was causing this pain. Tech neck is real! 5 weeks later and I can successfully fly on a plane without feeling intense pain! read more

Every one of my visits to Active Life have been nothing but great! I was in a car accident a few years ago and needed to go to a chiropractor. The insurance covered a few visits but I have kept on going back just because it makes me feel healthier. Dr. Scott Threde is amazing!! And the receptionist, Tiffany is great too. They always give me great healthy eating and excercising tips and they are very laid back and fun. Every visit is informative and the Dr. walks you through everything he does. The first couple times i went in i was a little nervous, having never been to a chiropractor i didnt know what to expect, but the Dr always made me feel really relaxed. Tiffany was great in answering all of my insurance and payment questions, and their prices are very reasonable and well worth it. read more

I started going to Dr. Scott Threde at Active Life Chiropractic in December. I had put off for many years going back to a chiropractor although I knew that I needed to do something. I had gone to a few different doctors and to a spine clinic and to physical therapy-all to no avail. I have scoliosis and have built up a huge hump-painful and embarrassing-on one side of my back. I also had a cervical fusion done in 1998 and was afraid to have anyone even touch my neck since then. I was warned by the surgeon about being careful....and I have a titanium plate and screws in my neck. Well, I decided it was time to earnestly search for help-but I was a little afraid. From my initial meeting with Dr. Threde he understood exactly what was going on-not only from a physical standpoint but from an emotional one. He knew that in order to be able to help me physically that he would first have to gain my trust and be able to relax me. Well, I cannot say enough about what is happening-it is like a miracle! He has been able to adjust my neck and my spine and start relaxing that awful "hump" of mine. I have not been this pain free in so many years that I am smiling from ear to ear most of the time. This has changed everything and it keeps getting better. It has impacted so many things that I hadn't even realized were being affected by my constant pain. My friends have been asking me about what I'm doing and remarking on how much better my back looks and how I'm standing so much straighter and taller-not to mention how much happier and upbeat I am! My children are amazed at how much better my "hump" looks. I have been telling family and friends alike that this is the best thing I've ever done and the best doctor I've ever found....and it's about time! I have already referred two friends to Dr. Threde and I would tell anyone who is considering chiropractic for any reason....and those who are trying to get rid of back and neck pain....to give him a try. I now do not wake up with headaches every morning. I don't take any antihistamines or sleep aids now at bedtime. I am back to walking vigorously and am going out salsa dancing tomorrow night! It is mid February now and I have been going twice a week since mid December. The progress I have made in about 2 months is almost unbelievable. I am so excited about the future! Oh....by the way, he has moved just recently. He is now in the spa at Renaissance Club Sport in Walnut Creek. It's great because it's free valet parking-very quick and easy-and he also has two great massage therapists to help his patients relax before he sees them-also free. It couldn't get any better unless I had insurance-which I don't-but he is worth every penny! read more

Dr. Scott Threde At active life chiropractic changed my life! After being told by a physician to be careful not to re-injure my neck, I spent years in pain from my physically laborious job and was afraid to get adjusted. My fiancé recommended Dr. Scott after her own amazing results and I am so THANKFUL I took her advice. Dr. Scott was thorough in obtaining my x-rays and explaining my care. I felt immediate release after my first adjustment and have completely eliminated my neck and back pain that was holding me back. Thank you Dr Scott !!!!!!! read more

Dr. Scott has changed my life. I am 64 and expect to use chiropractic treatments for my healthy lifestyle. I used to use massage to help me relax and keep my back from pulled muscles and lower back pain. I've been coming for over four years on a regular basis. After my regular treatments my active life has changed. I'm able to play tennis for times a week and live pain-free from pulled muscles and have also suffered lower back pain. After my regular treatments my active life has changed. I'm able to play tennis four times a week and live pain-free. Dr. Scott always finds out my specific body issues and helps keep me going. What a great person and what a great staff. read more

AMAZING! After years of lower back pain and numbness in my feet - I made the conscious decision to see a chiropractor. After doing my research and by the many recommendations I had received, I made the decision to have a consultation with Dr. Scott. I was unable to meet the needs of his schedule while booking my initial consultation, and he stayed late for me. I have a very busy work/travel schedule and Dr. Scott made it very stress-free while booking my appointments with him. I was already impressed. He really took the time to not only to get an understanding of my pain, but to get to know me and what the next steps in this process should be. He went through step-by-step on what his recommendation was for my situation. We started with two adjustments per week and I instantly felt relief - the subsequent appointments also kept me feeling that way. Dr. Scott continues to ask me how I am feeling, and it is clear he cares about his patients. With his positive energy and insight, I would recommend Dr. Scott to anyone looking for a true solution. All in all a great experience from the courteous and professional greeting at the front desk all the way to the end. I highly recommend him for any of your chiropractic needs. read more

I've been a patient here for over three years and I am so happy I found Dr. Scott and staff! Everybody is so friendly, helpful, and caring. The staff remembers you and genuinely cares about your well being. Dr. Scott is the nicest doctor I've found. He listens and works with you as much as he can. He also has a great personality and actually makes going to the doctor fun! Highly recommended! read more

One of the things I like about Scott Threde is he gives a full manipulation; so many chiros use those little dinky tools that don't do much for my back. (Maybe my neck). I only come in with occasional back pain and the problem is gone in 1-2 adjustments. (And as everyone says ... a nice guy!) read more

Scott was the 4th in a series of Chiropractic doctors I tried over a period of several years. Almost giving up the profession as a cure for my spasms in my side I decided to give it one more try. Much to my surprise and amazement After 8 sessions my problem disappeared. Scott zeroed in on the cause of the problem and stopped the spasms. He took his time with me to get an understanding of my history with this issue and even requested I bring him in a MRI scan. If anyone is not getting 100% satisfaction from their current approach to a ongoing problem I would highly recommend they give Dr. Scott Threde a try. Convenient location at the Renaissance spa and Gym. read more

I have been going to Dr. Threde for over a year and am so pleased with the results. I used to routinely get a massage once a month to relieve the daily and work stresses. After having Dr. Threde adjust me I have not needed a massage to unkink the muscles and relieve the stress. I look forward to my visits and have even brought my kids in to be adjusted. As a matter of fact, my (then) preteen suffered from intense headaches almost on a daily basis and after a few treatments she has been headache-free! And I can tell you I get the BEST night's sleep after a visit to his office. He really enjoys taking the time to explain how the nervous system works to cause pains and strains and how to avoid them. read more

I love Active Life. I have been going there since 2001, it started with post pregnancy back pains, then a car accident, now its just for healthy living. The staff is always friendly and professional. I always feel welcome and comfortable. read more

I have been having pain in my neck and a chronic sinus infection for over a year. After 3 doctors and 5 rounds of antibiotics, I was told surgery was my only option. I thought I would give a holistic approach a try. I can not believe the difference just a couple of treatments have made. Dr. Threde is extremely knowledgable, not only about chiropractic care but about living well as a whole. He was genuinely attentive to my concerns and health issues. The way he addressed my needs and explained what was causing my problems immediately put me at ease that he really knew what was causing all my pain and discomfort, and that he could fix it. He was actually excited that he was going to be able to help me. He is also extremely trustworthy. He won't fix what's not broken. What you need is what he will offer. Nothing more. He really does genuinely care about each patient. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Threde for any chiropractic care, fitness, healthy living or wellness need. read more

I have been extremely happy with the care I received by Dr. Scott at Active Life Chiropractic. I initially came to see him through a recommendation made by my sister. She had told me that he was the only Chiropractor she had seen that actually relieved all the pain she had following a car accident. I started seeing Dr. Scott for severe nerve pain in my forearm and hand, in which I have had on and off for at least five years. The pain was very severe. My MD had diagnosed it as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and Dr. Scott through a number of physical tests came to the same conclusion. I am happy to say that I am 100% free of pain. Thank you for your help ! read more

This guy is extremely unprofessional when it comes to an attractive female. Like beyond inappropriate in so many ways its unbelievable. My girlfriend worked at the gym at the resort and got free adjustments because of it and before we started dating she saw him a few times and he made her extremely uncomfortable. He would hit on her, ask her how she didnt have a boyfriend, told her if he was her age he would be chasing after her unless she likes older men then he will chase after her now. Then she didnt see him for awhile until her body just couldn't take the pain of her imbalances and needed adjusting but couldn't afford to go anywhere else. At this point we were dating and she went to see him and the same thing goes on, he hits on her and then finds out she has a boyfriend so does it in a different way. Every time she would come in he would compliment her body, tell her she looks like she has been toning up and how good she looks, how she should be extremely happy with herself and going on and on about how good looking she is and has so much to offer a man. Her and I have been extremely happy and there was no reason for this conversation to be had besides his own selfish personal interest of being a creep. He would have her pants rolled down to massage her lower back near her butt crack and one time in particular she was being adjusted by him he said something about her being tight in a certain area and that it was related to her piriformis (for those who dont know where this is located it is a deep DEEP muscle tissue in the glute(butt cheek) and without asking her if she was comfortable with it he just began digging his fingers into her butt cheeks so he could just feel her ass up because he was always perving out on her. After that session he even went onto her facebook page and requested to add her. Given she is extremely nice and worked at the same resort she didn't want to make any issues come about from it. I am now currently enrolled in some physical therapy classes myself and learning deep tissue massages and stretches for rehabilitating athletes as well as any other clients one day and what he did to her is BEYOND unprofessional, inappropriate and just disgusting. If her piriformis was the problem for being to tight of a muscle the proper and professional way to approach it would have been to ask first, tell her what he is going to do then use an elbow or a closed fist into the glute not fingers and to top it off he could have just done a facilitated stretch with her to help loosen the piriformis then told her to go home and foam roll it, but instead since he was having perverted tendencies with her for almost a year of her working there he just couldn't control himself and had to touch her ass with his hands while being inappropriate and hitting on her and talking about how nice her body looks. read more
