Dr. Tom Gustafson is a chiropractor who practices at Active Healing Center for Wellness in Colts Neck, New Jersey and Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties. Dr. Gustafson became interested in chiropractic as a result of an injury while playing baseball in his teens. Advised by a local orthopedic surgeon to sit out a season after a shoulder injury, Dr. Gustafson sought advice and care from two local chiropractors. A month later he was playing baseball again. As his interest in health and the body's functions grew, he decided to go into the field of chiropractic. After graduation from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, he entered Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia, from which he graduated in 1997. Dr. Tom Gustafson is specially trained in the Pettibon System for spinal rehabilitation, posture and scoliosis correction, and x-ray motion study. These techniques do not just treat your back or neck pain- they restore function to your entire nervous system and correct the actual cause of your problem. In addition to chiropractic care, Active Healing Center for Wellness offers nutritional counseling and weight loss, functional fitness training to build strength and flexibility, and massage therapy. His program, 8 Weeks to Wellness, is just one example of his commitment to achieving optimum health for all his patients. Dr. Gustafson believes that when the body works at its proper level, the result is an active, healthy life.
