Active Chiropractic
Your Health. Our Commitment. Serving Raleigh, NC with Compassionate Chiropractic Care.
Your Local Partner in Healing, Movement and Recovery
Pain can change far more than how your body feels.
It can affect your sleep, your energy, your work, your relationships and your confidence in movement. It can keep you from exercising, traveling, caring for your family or enjoying activities that once felt effortless.
At Active Chiropractic, we begin by learning what pain has taken from you and what you want to be able to do again.
Located Inside the Beltline just south of North Hills in Midtown Raleigh, our practice combines attentive chiropractic care with massage therapy, SoftWave shock wave therapy, dry needling, red light and infrared therapy and individualized neuropathy care.
Every service has a purpose. Every recommendation begins with you.
Rooted in Raleigh. Built Around You.
Dr. Molly Hall founded Active Chiropractic in 2005 with a belief that effective care requires more than treating the area where someone hurts.
The body works as a connected system. Joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, movement habits, previous injuries and everyday demands can all influence how a person feels.
That is why we listen first.
We want to know when your symptoms began, what makes them better or worse, what you have already tried and how the problem is affecting your life. We then evaluate the factors that may be contributing to your discomfort and explain which options may be appropriate.
You will understand what we recommend, why we recommend it and what you can reasonably expect.
Care Designed Around Your Life
No two patients experience pain in exactly the same way.
A painful knee may prevent one person from running while keeping another from comfortably climbing stairs. Neck pain may interfere with sleep, driving, desk work or simply turning to speak with someone.
The location of the pain matters, but so does its effect on your life.
Our goal is to help you move more comfortably and participate more fully in the activities that matter to you. Depending on your needs, that may involve addressing a recent injury, managing a persistent problem, supporting recovery after surgery or helping you maintain mobility as you age.
Your care can evolve as your body responds and your goals change.
More Than Chiropractic
More Ways to Help You Move Forward
Sometimes a chiropractic adjustment is exactly what a patient needs. Sometimes it is only one part of the answer.
Active Chiropractic brings chiropractic care, SoftWave shock wave therapy, dry needling, massage therapy, red light and infrared therapy, neuropathy care and practical movement guidance together in one Raleigh practice.
Rather than putting every patient through the same routine, our providers recommend services based on what they learn about you.
One patient may benefit from chiropractic care and rehabilitative exercise. Another may need massage to address muscle tension. Someone with a persistent tendon problem may be evaluated for shock wave therapy. A patient recovering from physical stress or surgery may want to discuss red light therapy after receiving appropriate medical clearance.
You will not be expected to use every service. The purpose of having multiple options is to create a more thoughtful plan, not a more complicated one.
Chiropractic Care That Looks Beyond Where It Hurts
Chiropractic care focuses on how your joints, muscles, spine and nervous system work together.
Our chiropractors begin with a health history and focused examination. They consider your movement, previous injuries, daily demands and goals before recommending care.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work and exercises you can use at home.
Patients commonly visit Active Chiropractic for:
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches with a possible musculoskeletal component
- Sciatica and radiating discomfort
- Joint stiffness and restricted movement
- Shoulder, hip and knee problems
- Posture related discomfort
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Pregnancy related musculoskeletal discomfort
- Recurring muscle tension
- Support for remaining active as they age
Chiropractic care is not appropriate for every symptom. When medical evaluation, imaging, physical therapy or another specialist is needed, referral may be the right next step.
Our Services in Raleigh, NC
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on how your joints, muscles, spine and nervous system work together.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work and exercises you can use at home.
SoftWave Shock Wave Therapy
SoftWave is a brand of broad focused shock wave therapy that uses acoustic waves to stimulate biological responses within a targeted area.
It may be considered for certain chronic tendon, soft tissue and musculoskeletal problems that have not responded as expected to rest or other conservative care.
Patients visit our Raleigh Shock Wave Therapy Center for concerns involving the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot, ankle and other areas. Common examples include plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and certain persistent tendon problems.
SoftWave is not appropriate for every condition or every patient. A consultation and safety screening help determine whether shock wave therapy is a reasonable option.

Dry Needling
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to address selected muscles and trigger points that may be contributing to tension, pain or restricted movement.
It may be incorporated into care for muscle tightness, sports injuries, recurring movement problems and certain areas of musculoskeletal discomfort.
Dry needling is not the same as an injection, and no medication is delivered through the needle. Recommendations depend on the patient’s health history, symptoms, examination and comfort with the procedure.
Massage Therapy
Massage can be restorative, therapeutic or simply provide time to slow down and release physical tension.
Active Chiropractic’s licensed massage therapists personalize each session around the patient’s body, pressure preferences and goals. Available approaches include therapeutic massage, sports massage, prenatal massage, Swedish massage, myofascial work, lymphatic massage and other forms of bodywork.
Some patients schedule massage as an individual wellness service. Others combine it with chiropractic care or rehabilitation as part of a broader plan.
Neuropathy Care
Numbness, tingling, burning, sensitivity and balance concerns can interfere with walking, sleep and confidence in daily movement.
Neuropathy has many possible causes. Diabetes, chemotherapy, medication effects, vitamin deficiencies, nerve compression and other medical conditions may produce similar symptoms.
Our neuropathy program begins by learning about your symptoms, medical history and previous evaluation. Supportive care may include several services depending on your needs and medical circumstances.
We do not assume that every case has the same cause or promise that damaged nerves can always be restored. Appropriate medical evaluation remains an important part of responsible neuropathy care.
Red Light and Infrared Therapy
Red light and near infrared therapy use selected wavelengths of nonionizing light.
Depending on the person and purpose of care, sessions may be considered for general wellness, exercise recovery, muscle and joint comfort, skin support or recovery following physical stress.
Red light therapy is not a cure, and results vary. Medications, medical conditions, recent surgery, pregnancy and light sensitivity must be considered before treatment.
Our Renu Light System provides a comfortable whole body session without injections or recovery time.
Prenatal and Postpartum Care
Pregnancy and early motherhood place changing demands on the back, pelvis, hips, neck, shoulders and surrounding muscles.
Active Chiropractic provides prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care and massage therapy adapted to each patient’s stage, comfort and medical circumstances.
Dr. Molly completed an internship at the Musculoskeletal Pain in Pregnancy Clinic at Barnes Jewish Hospital while earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Our massage team also includes providers with experience in prenatal massage, postpartum bodywork, childbirth support and cesarean scar management after appropriate healing and medical clearance.
Our prenatal and postpartum services focus on maternal comfort, movement and recovery. They do not replace care from an obstetrician, midwife, pelvic health physical therapist or other medical provider.

Why Patients Choose Active Chiropractic
We Listen Before Recommending Care
Your symptoms, history and goals guide the conversation. We do not begin with the assumption that every patient needs the same treatment.
We Have More Than One Way to Help
Our providers can draw from chiropractic care, massage, shock wave therapy, dry needling, red light therapy, neuropathy care and practical movement guidance.
We Explain What We Are Doing
You deserve to understand what we find, which options may be appropriate and why a particular service is being recommended.
We Help You Participate in Your Progress
When appropriate, we provide exercises, stretches, mobility recommendations and practical changes that can support your progress outside the office.
We Recognize the Limits of Our Care
Not every problem belongs in a chiropractic or wellness practice. We will recommend medical evaluation or another qualified provider when your symptoms require care outside our scope.
We Have Served Raleigh Since 2005
Active Chiropractic has grown from a small practice inside a local gym into a multidisciplinary center serving patients throughout Raleigh.
What Our Raleigh Patients Say
Some Active Chiropractic patients have continued seeing Dr. Molly and her team for nine, ten, thirteen, fifteen and more than twenty years.
Their reviews frequently describe providers who listen, explain their recommendations, personalize each visit and help patients remain involved in their own care.
Patients also mention the calm environment, welcoming staff and convenience of receiving several complementary services within the same practice.
Individual experiences vary. Patient testimonials describe personal experiences and do not guarantee a particular result.

Your First Visit
Your first visit is an opportunity to tell us what has been happening and what you want to change.
We will ask about your symptoms, health history, previous care, daily activities and goals. A provider may perform a focused examination to better understand your movement, joint function, muscle tension and relevant orthopedic or neurological findings.
We will explain what we observe and discuss whether our services appear appropriate.
If we recommend care, you will understand the purpose of the recommendation, available alternatives and any relevant limitations. You will have time to ask questions before deciding how you want to proceed.
Start With a Conversation
You do not need to know which service you need before contacting Active Chiropractic.
Tell us what you are experiencing, what you have already tried and what you want to be able to do again. We will help you determine the most appropriate place to begin.
