Dr. Mark Wogahn

Feel Your Best at Active Care Chiropractic

While chiropractic is remarkably effective for pain relief, it does so much more. Chiropractic can allow you to enjoy improved function, better overall health and a higher quality of life. At Active Care Chiropractic, we love to see patients of all ages and with all conditions be the best they can be. Dr. Mark Wogahn has more than three decades of experience, and provides safe, gentle and effective care at his two locations—Tarzana and Westlake Village.

Providing Extremities Adjusting

In addition to offering exceptional spinal work, Dr. Wogahn also provides extremities adjusting. He is one of only a few chiropractors in the region who perform extremities adjusting. This form of chiropractic is effective for numerous conditions such as ankle pain, hip pain, swollen knees, shoulder sprains and carpal tunnel syndrome.

As a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP), Dr. Wogahn has gotten incredible results for his patients, many of whom travel from outside the area to see him. One of his patients suffered from longtime ankle pain. After Dr. Wogahn adjusted his ankles, this former cross country runner went on to run several LA Marathons.

Some of the Unexpected Benefits of Chiropractic

Many people don’t know all that chiropractic can do for them. “I find out what a patient is looking for, meet them where they are and all of a sudden their life improves,” says Dr. Wogahn. He finds it fulfilling to see people change their mindset about what chiropractic can do.

Every day at the practice, he helps patients in remarkable ways. Here are a few of the many success stories we see:

  • A woman who had chest pain for three weeks no longer has shallow breaths or has to hold her chest when she coughs
  • A man who wanted to use his arm to bowl but couldn’t, as his elbow was out of alignment, was able to return to bowling after being adjusted

Get to Know Dr. Wogahn

The first introduction Dr. Wogahn had to chiropractic was as a child when he witnessed how it helped his mother get relief from her neck pain. He also experienced firsthand the effectiveness of chiropractic on his headaches.

Dr. Wogahn takes the time to listen to his patients, ask good questions, provide a thorough exam and give gentle care that gets results.
