I found this chiropractic practice because the chiropractor I was using was retiring. Dr. Burke used the activator method of adjustment and it works well for my body. So I tried this practice and I have been very pleased how my body likes the activator method to stay in alignment. Before I moved to this area from Kansas City area I went to a chiropractor who uses Blair method and the activator method is the closest I have found to the Blair method. Once my body got back into alignment I have only had to visit 2-4 times a month depending on what is going on in my life. The three doctors at Advanced Health are very good at what they do. I have my preferences of which doctor I like to use, but they are all good. One thing this practice does is to offer massage therapy at a very reasonable price. In the event of a muscular injury, which I'm dealing with currently, they are also set up to use ultrasound on the effected area. I have found these additional services have helped me stay in alignment. So even though my adjustments are covered by insurance after deductible I pay out of pocket for both the massage and ultrasound. This is a gentle chiropractic practice. I feel they truly care that the patient gets better. read more

The office was able to see me right away. As a new patient this is rare. I found my visit to be informative and helpful. I felt significant relief in my back. It was recommended that I see them twice a week. However, the office is only open 32 hours/week and they are not open on Fridays or weekends. This would mean that I would miss a minimum of four hours per week of work to make their appointments. Unfortunately and regrettably, I can not accommodate their working hours. If it weren't for the working hours, I would gladly continue seeing them even though my insurance does not cover their care. read more

I was stunned. I grew up fearing chiropractors. I struggled for weeks with a very severe pain in my arm. Two physicians sent me away with pain pills. I heard the advertisement for Advanced and thought, "What Can I Lose." The treatment was amazing. I found out what the problem was and given the treatment. My insurance paid without a problem. The staff is awesome and I can't saw enough about Dr. Olaveson. My husband injured his hip. We had the same experience. We found that he had one leg longer than the other. Again, we understood the billing and our insurance had no problem with the claim. We can't give enough stars to this facility read more

Being new to the area finding a good chiropractic clinic can be difficult. The staff was beyond helpful, the intake process was easy and the chiropractic adjustment was gentle and painless. The use of the activator was comfortable and allowed for my muscles to relax. read more

I do not often need a chiropractor, but when I do, I always go to Advanced Health, because their methods are gentle and effective. None of this wrenching your bones around. Dr. Olaveson is one of only a few in Idaho who are trained to use an activator to move vertebrae back to where they should be. I know Advanced Health has loyal patients, but the few times my back has gone out, it has only taken one or two visits for the doctors at Advanced Health to get me back into good condition. I took my mother there, too, when she was injured in a fall. She, also, loved the relief they were able to give her. read more

I have had back pain for years and have seen many chiropractors and really did not have very good results. I went into Advanced Health not able to even walk upright and literally walked feeling a new person. I actually cried I could not believe it was so quick! Times before it would take several visits then pain pills and muscle relaxers. I won't go any where else. read more

I'm 76 years-my muscles HURT! They feel like they're turning into stone. My tight neck muscles give me a big time headaches leading to dizziness. My daughter says, "Try Advance Health Chiropractic for help." Dr. "O" (Olaveson) look at me and says, "welcome home" then he gets to work: spinal manipulation, therapeutic massages, water table and various other treatment options. Thank you Dr. "O" and crew. I can move and keep walking and working! Keep up the good work. Virginia Hawkaluk read more

I suffered from back pain for a while before coming in to Advanced Health. I was afraid to go to a chiropractor because I thought it would make my pain worse. I was very pleased to learn that the chiropractors at Advanced Health used an instrument called an activator instead of hands on adjustment. I was also worried about the cost, but they were willing to set me up on a monthly payment plan so that I was able to get the help I needed immediately. The entire staff was great, and I always felt welcomed. read more

They do keep the lights on the dimmer side so it's a little more relaxing... And they have nice music playing. The massage was so good, I actually forgot that I was in a room with other people. For those of you, who haven't tried this, I would highly recommend coming in. You can make a same-day appointment very easily, which is nice! Also, I would recommend wearing comfortable clothing and minimal makeup- as you stay, fully dressed (minus your shoes) and they include a scalp and small face massage too.

I have been a patient of Dr. Olaveson's since he opened his practice (20 yrs ?) I liked that he did not use manual manipulation. My mother, minor daughter and I have always received exceptional treatment during our visits to his office. The front desk and billing personel are friendly, enthusiastic and accommodating. The diverse message therapy staff are knowledgeable in their craft and provide a wide range of techniques ensuring everyone enjoys a relaxing message. It is not uncommon for people to fall asleep during their therapy. I like that I can obtain x-rays in the office. Oh,,,, and Dr. O,,, THE BEST. Professional, knowledgeable, kind, upfront, patient, honest, funny ,,,,,love the ties. Truely concerned about your care,,,, makes you feel like you are the only patient in the office. Dr. O and his staff were adamant facilitators of medical exams/treatment he felt I needed from outside medical providers after my car accident. Ultimately requiring surgery. He went above and beyond. read more

I suffer from low back pain and a stiff neck which prevents me from having a normal posture. I had not gone to a chiropractor in many years because the manual manipulation did more harm than good. I took advantage of their $20 screening with x-rays to have them evaluate my back condition. They found both the lower and back and upper neck regions to be way out of vertical alignment. They also found curvature problems in both the lower back and neck areas. They use a pressure adjuster to slowly move the spine back into alignment. After first treatment I was able to stand straight with no pain. My back has gotten consistently better since then. The doctors and staff are real professionals. read more

I have been going to advanced Health for many years with chronic pain and occasional injuries that they have been able to correct and bring me pain free after just a few visits. They have multiple therapies that they can use to treat each problem. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and professional. A couple of differences I love about them is that they adjust the spine with a pressure gun instead of cracking and twisting which is effective and has lower risks. Another part of the treatment is a massage that helps the muscles adjust to the new position. I love them so much that I have referred my adult children so they can keep their spine healthy. read more

Steve G says: What do you say about a place that made 10 years worth of pain go away?!? Thank you just does not cut it. I had some issues that I could not get to go away. Sometimes to the point of being crippling. Others had tried, and helped, but Doc Olaveson figured it out. We made the proper changes and he and his staff did some adjusting, some deep massage, Ouch!! (Thanks Jon...I think :) ) and today I walk without limping. I still have flair ups, but when I do I go see the team and soon I'm back up and running.
