TAMUNING, GUAM · CLASS IV LASER THERAPY
Real pain relief, powered by Class IV laser.
Class IV laser therapy is the core of how we treat pain at Active Life — deep, drug-free, and often felt within a few sessions. We pair it with chiropractic adjustments and guided stretching for a full recovery, not just a quick fix.

A clear focus: get you moving again.
Class IV laser therapy is our primary treatment — the tool we reach for first on most new patients, because it treats inflammation and pain at the source rather than just masking it. We're a chiropractic clinic first, and now home to the Active Life Stretch Clinic too.
Every new patient starts with a real evaluation, not a script. Dr. Steve Arthur builds a plan around what your body actually needs, using laser therapy alongside adjustments, decompression, and rehab technology — so you recover faster and stay that way.
OUR PRIMARY TREATMENT
Class IV Laser Therapy
This is the treatment most of our plans are built around. Class IV laser delivers deep, drug-free light energy straight to inflamed and damaged tissue — reducing pain and swelling while speeding up the body's own repair process. Most patients notice a difference within a handful of sessions.

MORE WAYS WE TREAT YOU
Chiropractic care, backed by real technology.
No guesswork. Every treatment room is equipped the same way it's always been — evaluated, applied, and adjusted by hand.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Hands-on spinal and joint adjustments to correct alignment, relieve pressure on the nervous system, and restore range of motion — the foundation of every visit.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused acoustic pulses are delivered directly to injured tendon and soft tissue, triggering the body's natural repair response and breaking up scar tissue and calcium buildup. Commonly used for plantar fasciitis, tennis and golfer's elbow, and Achilles or shoulder tendinitis that hasn't improved with rest alone. Sessions run in minutes, with no needles and no downtime.
Watch: Shockwave Therapy ExplainedOpens on YouTubeSpinal Decompression
A motorized table gently stretches the spine in slow, controlled cycles, creating negative pressure inside the disc space. That negative pressure can draw bulging or herniated disc material back in and take pressure off pinched nerves, improving circulation and nutrient flow to the area. It's a common option for chronic neck and low back pain, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease before more invasive options are considered.
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic fields pass gently through the body to stimulate cells at the mitochondrial level, supporting the body's own repair and energy processes. Patients typically use it for chronic pain and stiffness, inflammation, slow-healing injuries, and general recovery between chiropractic visits. It's non-invasive and painless — most people simply feel a mild, comfortable pulsing sensation.
MedX Cervical & Lumbar Rehab
Isolated strength-testing and rehab machines for the neck and low back — used to rebuild stability after pain resolves, so it stays gone.
