Forget the R.I.C.E Method: Part 1 of 3

Alex Earl | July 11, 2021

Back in 1978, Dr. Gabe Mirkin created the protocol of R.I.C.E for the management of soft-tissue injuries. This became the “gospel” for the next several decades, as coaches, athletic trainers and clinicians all found themselves reciting this quip to patients in order to help aide in the recovery process. Except, it doesn’t… So much so that theContinue Reading »

What Can BFR Teach Us About Pain?

Alex Earl | December 7, 2020

Former Chief Editor of the number one orthopedic technique journal, Dr. Brian Day, MD, specifically mentions the Delphi device in his editorial. Dr. Robert LaPrade, formerly of the Steadmon Philipon clinic in Vail, Colorado, the expert on knee multi-ligament repair, also mentions the same Delphi device used in our Carol Stream clinic.”I still have kneeContinue Reading »

The best place I’ve gone to get reliable help as an athlete. Also, the staff is friendly and genuinely cares about your well-being!

I have no words of how grateful I am towards Active & Heath Restoration and Dr. Amaro. I was in a lot of pain with shin splints and have had years with a hamstring injury. She’s knowledgeable in every way, explaining and watching every detail. I’m very happy with this team of Professionals and will DEFINITELY recommend to anyone.

This place is true to their word and will help you unleash your inner athlete again. I began my sessions with tightness in my back that before never went away. Places before helped a little bit, but long-term were unsuccessful. When I began my sessions with Jennifer, she said she would help, but I had to put in the work. She will push hard, but the results speak for themselves. I no longer wake up with tightness, I perform exercises easier, and I feel better overall. I plan on coming back in the future for performance training to further my fitness goals. If you are willing to put in the effort and do the exercises outside of the sessions, I highly recommend this place. They are costly as Alex has said upfront but compared to the thousands spent on other places, it's a no-brainer. They also have affordable payment plans if needed. I honestly wish I found this place earlier. This review is for anyone that doesn't want to waste time or waste money. Get your problem taken care of immediately and get back into shape without any restrictions.

Such a great experience every appointment. Every staff person you come across is very kind and has your best interest at heart. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and have an innate ability to explain what they’re doing and why. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone struggling with pain of any kind!

I can't speak highly enough about Active Health & Restoration and Dr. Earl!! My husband and I have both worked with him and have had the best experience. He quickly identified what was causing the pain/discomfort, helped us get strong again and returning to our normal activities. We are very thankful for his knowledge, flexibility and willingness to listen to you. I would strongly recommend AHR!

Dr. Earl is personable and professional guy who approaches each problem with a very logical and step-by-step process. His program has really helped me with my lower back problem thus far.

Dr. Earl has helped me turn small issues into non issues. He has also majorly helped me with injury prevention work. The best Chiro around!

I was in a lot of shoulder pain before I started seeing Dr. Earl. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about seeing a chiropractor, but after my first visit, I was completely put at ease. Dr. Earl has made me feel extremely cared for and confident in his approach. He is very knowledgable in his field and has a gift for encouraging others towards their physical goals. With each visit, my shoulder has felt better and stronger. Without a doubt, Dr. Earl provides the best care out there!

Dr. Earl is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring doctor. He wants to help you get you to your goals and get you to feeling your best so you can accomplish what you want without being in pain. I have seen a few different doctors before going to him and he is the best doctor I’ve ever been to.

I would highly encourage anyone reading this review to carefully consider what they want out of their healthcare provider. If you are like me, you would want someone to take their time to identify the cause of pain and discomfort in addition to building a specific plan of action for me to get back to the activities I love - soccer & playing games with our four young children. If you want a quick visit with a waiting room filled with other patients, along with the same treatment given to patient after patient, then this place is NOT for you.

As an artist, I work with my hands and am on my feet all day. Seeing Dr. Earl for adjustments and performance training has been one of the best decisions for my physical health. He tailors workouts and adjustments specifically to help counteract the movements and habits of my studio practice. I look forward to my appointments each week—it is a wonderful environment and we always have great conversations!I would highly recommend Dr. Earl to anyone who wants to restore their body to a strong & healthy state.

Active Health and Restoration is the best spot to stay physically healthy and hit new performances peaks. Dr. Earl has helped me tremendously while recovering from my quad injury to come back stronger than before. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to be the best physical version of themself!

I highly recommend Dr. Earl to anyone who is in need of quality health and chiropractic care. He genuinely cares about his patients. He has a variety of skills and clinical experiences that he uses to help create an effective care plan for you.

As a 4x Olympic athlete, World Record holder and coach of 2 of my own kids who made Olympic/world Teams as well, we needed to surround ourselves with support by individuals who:#1 cared about us#2 had the ability to manage the urgent/immediate need with not only experience but educated intuition.The “clinical/book” answer does not necessarily apply.Alex Earl has the unique educated and intuitive skills, sincere care, and ability to immediately understand and process your problem or enhance your present physical desires in order to build the rehab, restoration, or improvement on solid ground that will be most effective. In order to achieve lasting success you have to logically build the body to handle the progression of chiropractic with muscular and motor skill rehabilitation.Alex is an “Olympian” in this field of physical restoration/rehabilitation.

This is the best place to get Physical Therapy an Chiropractic work done. Dr. Earl is an excellent chiropractor that specializes in sports medicine and spinal injuries, but he helps any person with issues restore themselves to optimal health. He provides clear insight and guides corrective exercises that get you feeling better than before than "new" - he gets you "like new".

We had the pleasure of organizing events at Active Health & Restoration and we loved the facility, the staff and the culture at AHR. If you have the opportunity to attend a course at AHR or been seen as a patient, be read for unique experience unlike any other chiropractic office.

I was extremely happy with my experience at Active Health Restoration with Dr. Earl. It was my first time at a chiropractor and it definitely helped to relieve some of my qualms about seeing one. I had multiple shoulder problems and using his techniques, the pain is completely gone and I am back to lifting heavy weights. I am a firefighter so it was important that in addition to being pain free that I was able to function at a very high capacity and Dr. Earl helped me regain that!

Dr. Alex Earl is the best I have met in the U.S. and Asia.Treatments:Dr. Earl got good analysis of my problems and applied the appropriate treatments, including exercises, adjustments, acupuncture, breathing, correcting my walking posture, etc. Not only did he provide the treatments, he also checked with me to make sure there's improvement of my problems and things're on the right track. I love the exercises which Dr. Earl taught me; they helped me to minimize my pain and improve the flexibility of my body. Overall, there's a big improvement of my problems.Personality:Dr. Earl is very cheerful, friendly, with lots of energy and a positive attitude. He is a good listener and very patient to listen to my problems even though my English is bad. Where can you find a good doctor with such a pleasant personality? It's like a bonus of your treatments!

I suffered a torn meniscus in my right knee from football this year that led to me talking to Dr. Earl, he decided to use blood flow restriction, he later said college athletes use this to recovery from former and current injury’s. I saw Dr. Earl for a total of 3 weeks and used the blood flow restriction, after 3 weeks I went back to my physical therapist and orthopedic doctor they both said they were surprised on how much muscle I built and fined in this little amount of time. I was excited and I ending up getting cleared to play football again, even though my injury was supposed last for 6 weeks. Thank you Dr. Earl for alll of your help and effort to make me better!!!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Alex to anyone struggling through a physical ailment and trying to figure out the best next steps to get healthy. Not only is Dr. Alex very knowledgeable in his field, he is excellent at conveying things in very understandable ways. I’ll definitely be going back to Dr. Alex with my current injury and as a competitive runner, he will be the first place I turn for any future issues!

Dr. Earl helped relieve my lower back pain/neck pain and strengthened it in the process. He is very motivated to see you reach your full healthcare potential. He clearly describes the treatment process and answers any questions you have. Not only has he helped me but he has treated my two sons and daughter with sports injuries they have suffered. Dr. Earl is very trustworthy and a dedicated person.

Active Health and Restoration changed my life. The care that they provide for their patients is truly unparalleled in the chiropractic industry today. The level of respect and intelligence that Dr. Earl and his team exhibit in their work is astounding, and gives me hope for the human race as a whole. I could not be happier with the results I received, and the way I was treated during a time of duress. What could have been a stressful ordeal was transformed into a surprisingly joyful time of growth and healing, and I would undoubtedly recommend this business to anyone in need. I can promise with 100% certainty that you will not regret your decision. Active Health and Restoration is the way to go.

Alex Earl is the best chiropractor around. He is kind, helpful and is a master of his craft. I would highly recommend going to see him if you are in need of a chiropractor. 5/5 would go see again.

I separated my shoulder in football my Junior year of college and Alex rehabbed my shoulder back to full strength instead of having to receive surgery. He not only rehabbed my injury but he made my shoulder stronger and the rest of my body more stabilized to prevent further injuries. Alex's philosophy is grounded in quality work that makes his patients feel valued and educated. His practices and programs that he put me through and puts his patients through have strong research behind them. I would highly recommend Alex to any athletes that are injured or need strengthening in order to prevent further injuries.

Dr. Alex Earl has unmatched chiropractic ability. Top of the line stuff. He explained what my injury was, as well as how to help it. He worked with me on my injury and we were able to get through it. I would recommend him for any high school or college athlete.

Grayson Harris

Active Health and Restoration is far and away the best chiropractic service around. Alex Earl specifically is such a great guy and reallyets you enjoy your experience there. He knows what he is doing and seems to love his job. I would highly reccomend AH&R.

In the brief interactions I have had with Dr. Earl in the clinical setting, I have been so impressed by his depth of knowledge, interest in research, and compassion for his patients. It has been obvious to me that he cares about his patients, and about them seeing results.

If you're looking to actively restore your health, this is the right office for you. Dr. Earl is extremely knowledgeable on how to implement functional rehab and chiropractic and works one on one with you to help solve your problem. He's a down to earth guy with a wealth of knowledge to help diagnose and solve your pain or help you achieve peak performance.

My experience with Dr. Earl has been amazing. When I first came to him he explained what was going on and told me what he was going to do to fix it. Every appointment he walks through exercises with me and explains what it is doing to help. I would highly recommend him as a chiropractor.

My son has been battling back issues for the past three years. We have seen several doctors...from orthopedics to chiropractors to physical therapists to pain management doctors... but with few results. After one month with Dr. Earl, my son began to see drastic improvements and is currently back on the basketball court with minimal pain. My other son experienced a herniated disc while playing football. Within two months of working with Dr. Earl, he was pain free and is now playing basketball at full capacity and no symptoms. Watching Dr. Earl evaluate his patients and put together a puzzle unique to the individual is fascinating. He has a different approach that is clearly successful. Not only that, Dr. Earl is extremely personal, he relates to his patients and you feel like he understands the whole person. We highly recommend him!!!!

When hurt or dealing with pain it can be hard to know where to go or who is "good" in the area. As a health care professional that is not only a question I would consider for myself, but mainly all the families I work with on a daily basis. When working with athletes everyday and all the injuries that can happen with sports, I need to know who I can trust and recommend. Working with Dr. Alex Earl, I have seen first hand the quality and broad spectrum of his skills and knowledge. His goal is to not only address and treat the pain, but give his best to solve the issue causing it. With Active Health and Restoration it's not about using a certain skill, but rather joining together the best treatments and exercises tailored for each individual's needs. Getting everyone back, not just to functional, but better than before.

Justin Swider

Alex is great at what he does! He takes time to explain everything to you from why to how he is doing it and he pays close attention to detail. He also goes out of his way to make sure that you are taken care of. I would highly recommend him!

Elias McCloud

Dr. Earl is an expert at what he does. I had no idea what was wrong with me, he showed me, and he explained my problem very clearly so I understood. I highly recommend Dr. Earl, both as a professional, and an incredible man.

Dr. Earl is an outstanding chiropractor and is at the top of the profession. His knowledge, confidence and passion are noticeable from the start. He created a treatment plan specifically for me and explained why each part of care was important in both short and long term. I highly recommend Dr. Earl and Active Health and Restoration and would encourage anyone looking to get out of pain, improve at their sport or improve their health

As an evidenced-based clinician, my goal is to partner with you in your health. While I appreciate and respect the power that chiropractic manipulation possesses, it is far from the only tool in my toolbox. I have been fortunate enough to learn from the industry's top performers and I am able to integrate that knowledge into patient care on a daily basis.Kind regards,Dr. Alex Earl DC DACRB CSCS
