Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2015 -- Active Health, a leading physiotherapy and chiropractic clinic, will now offer free consultations by phone. Headed by Dr. Dan Migliarese, a practitioner with over 27 years of experience treating everyone from active NHL hockey players to children and the elderly, Active Health provides a wide variety of safe, gentle services that can help with everything from recovery from injuries to improved flexibility and range of motion. The new phone consultation option will make it even easier than before for prospective patients to determine whether the services at Active Health might be of benefit to them.

"Whether for treatment of acute problems or regular maintenance for chronic ones, our services can be of great help to a wide range of people," Dr. Migliarese stated, "Now that we are offering phone consultations to anyone who might need help, we think that many more people are going to find out just how effective our chiropractic, active release therapy, acupuncture, and other options can be."

Across much of the developed world, prescription painkillers are dispensed far more frequently than in the past. One of the most pointed downsides of this development is that abuse of such drugs and the corresponding side effects have risen in lockstep with their ubiquity; prescription drug overdoses in the United States, for example, have more than tripled in the last twenty-five years, according to the American CDC.

A less frequently remarked-upon effect has been that more people than ever before suffer with lingering injuries for longer periods of time, covering up their pains and discomfort with drugs instead of seeking out effective treatment. Since the clinic's founding, Active Health has been one of Calgary's leaders at showing those who deal with such problems that there are other, better options.

With a range of services directed at providing relief from pain and discomfort, improving mobility, and otherwise restoring the human body to proper function, Active Health regularly assists everyone from professional athletes to far less active patients. In more than 27 years of practice, Active Health Clinic Director Dr. Migliarese has helped members of NHL teams including the Calgary Flames, the Edmonton Oilers, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Montreal Canadiens address the root causes of the pain and discomfort they suffered from. He has also helped many athletes from the Canadian Olympic Team obtain real, lasting relief, along with countless other patients of all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles.

In determining which treatment is most appropriate for a given patient, Active Health experts have access to a wide range of potent techniques. These might include basic physiotherapy, such as stretching and foam rolling, chiropractic, acupuncture, orthotics, or active release therapy, all delivered by highly trained and certified practitioners. The proven Active Health approach, detailed at http://www.activehealthcalgary.com/physiotherapy and elsewhere on the clinic's website, aims at delivering lasting relief that targets the underlying problems that cause pain, discomfort, and stiffness, freeing patients to live their lives as they wish.

By offering free phone consultations, Active Health will be able to provide this satisfying, valuable help to even more people. Those interested in the services offered by the clinic can call (403) 517-1421 today or sign up for a consultation at http://www.activehealthcalgary.com/.
