It's the easiest way to find out if S-Wave is right for you. For $55, you'll sit down with our team, experience the S-Wave instrument firsthand, and we'll map your body to identify every area that could benefit. You'll leave with a clear, personalized recommendation...no pressure and no obligation to continue.
Most patients find it comfortable and easy. Each treatment takes 15 minutes or less, and many people notice improved range of motion almost immediately after a session.

A typical course is 4 sessions over 6 weeks, with full healing continuing for up to 3 months. Your exact plan depends on the area and severity, which is exactly what we'll determine during your Mapping Session.

In most cases, yes. Especially when combined with corrective chiropractic care, results are long-lasting and often permanent, as long as the area isn't reinjured. For neuropathy or autoimmune conditions, results may not be permanent, but S-Wave can dramatically improve symptoms and quality of life.

S-Wave is a clinically proven therapy, but it is not covered by insurance. We've worked to keep it accessible, and the $55 Mapping Session lets you explore it affordably before making any larger commitment.

There are only three contraindications: pregnancy, active cancer, and a cortisone shot within the last 6 weeks. During your Mapping Session, we'll review your health history to make sure S-Wave is a safe and appropriate option for you.

Absolutely! And we recommend it. S-Wave helps your body heal past damage and injury, which means your chiropractic adjustments hold better and your body adapts and resists future stress more effectively. The two work powerfully together.

Book your $55 S-Wave Mapping Session online, or call us at (814) 624-0606. It's the simplest way to find out if S-Wave is the answer you've been looking for.
Most patients feel little to nothing during a session, just deep relaxation. Many people find it so calming they fall asleep. There are no needles, no medication, and no discomfort.
Think of PEMF as a battery charger for your cells. When your cells lose their charge, they can't heal or function properly. PEMF sends gentle magnetic pulses that re-energize your cells, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and help your body get back to healing the way it's designed to.

PEMF is offered as a complete three-month program rather than one-off sessions, because the benefits build as your cells recharge over time, consistency is what makes it work. We'll map out your program around your goals at your first visit.

It varies. Some patients notice better sleep or more energy within the first few sessions, while deeper or longer-standing issues take more time. We'll track your progress along the way.
PEMF is one of the safest natural therapies available. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and has been used safely in Europe for over 75 years. There's no downtime, you can return to your normal day immediately.

PEMF is not recommended for patients with electronic implants such as pacemakers, or during pregnancy. At your consultation, we'll review your health history to make sure PEMF is safe and appropriate for you.

Absolutely! And most of our patients do. PEMF reduces inflammation and recharges your cells, which helps your adjustments hold better and your body heal faster. They work beautifully together as part of our Total Body Wellness approach.

PEMF is generally not covered by insurance. We've worked to keep it accessible because we believe everyone deserves access to natural, drug-free healing. We'll go over the details with you at your consultation.

Call us at (814) 624-0606 or book a free consultation online. We'll talk through your health goals and let you know if PEMF is the right fit for you.
Most patients feel very little. Sometimes a gentle, soothing warmth in the treatment area. There are no needles, no incisions, and no discomfort. Many people find sessions surprisingly relaxing.
Sessions typically run 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your specific condition. You can usually be in and out during a lunch break.
That depends on what we're treating and how long you've been dealing with it. Newer injuries often respond in just a few sessions, while chronic conditions like long-standing arthritis or neuropathy usually need a longer series. After your consultation and exam, we'll give you a clear recommendation and a plan...no guessing.
Some patients feel a difference after their very first session, especially with acute injuries. Chronic conditions typically take several sessions before you notice steady improvement. We track your progress at every visit so you can see your gains in real time.
Yes. We use laser regularly with kids, including for ear infections, certain skin conditions, and minor injuries. It's gentle, painless, and one of the safest natural therapies available for little ones. Many parents are relieved to find an option that doesn't involve another round of antibiotics or another waiting room.
Absolutely! And most of our patients do. Laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair, which means your adjustments hold better and your body responds faster overall. The two work beautifully together as part of our Total Body Wellness approach.
A full six-week initial laser care plan is just a few hundred dollars...typically under $500 total. When you consider that a single cortisone injection, one MRI, or a few months of prescription pain medication can cost several times that, laser therapy is one of the most affordable paths to real, lasting relief available. Because results build over a series of sessions, we offer plan-based pricing so you're not paying full price per visit, and cost never has to be the reason you stop short of getting better. We'll walk you through your specific plan options during your free consultation.
 
Insurance generally does not cover low-level laser therapy. That's actually part of why we've kept our pricing so accessible, we want patients to be able to choose this care without fighting an insurance company to do it.
Side effects are rare and mild! Occasionally a brief warming sensation or temporary tingling at the treatment site. You can return to work, exercise, errands, and normal daily activities immediately after.
Call us at (814) 624-0606 or book a consultation online. We'll review your situation, answer any remaining questions, and tell you honestly whether laser therapy is the right fit. If it's not, we'll point you toward what is.
It's a relaxed, no-pressure conversation with our team. You share what you've been dealing with and what you're hoping to improve, and we'll let you know honestly whether functional nutrition is a good fit for you. There's no cost and no obligation to continue.

Your doctor is trained to find and treat disease. Functional nutrition looks at why your body is struggling in the first place, even when your labs come back "normal." We focus on root causes like gut health, hormones, blood sugar, deficiencies, and toxic load, and we use nutrition and lifestyle to help your body heal rather than just managing symptoms with medication.

No. Functional nutrition partners with your existing care. It doesn't replace it. We work alongside your other providers, and we never advise you to change prescriptions on your own. Any medication decisions stay between you and your prescribing doctor

It depends on your situation. Testing may include bloodwork, food sensitivity testing, gut mapping, or hormonal panels. We can also review and interpret bloodwork or results from other providers to spot imbalances that may have been missed.
No. This isn't a fad diet or a rigid one-size-fits-all program. Your plan is built around your body, your life, and changes you can realistically sustain. Many clients say having a simple, clear plan is what finally made the difference.

Everyone is different. Some clients notice improvements in energy, sleep, or digestion within the first few weeks, while deeper or longer-standing issues take more time. Because we address root causes, the goal is lasting change...not a quick fix that fades.

Never. You'll have guidance and support every step of the way. We adjust your plan as your body responds and walk alongside you with practical steps and encouragement.

The first step is a free 15-minute discovery call. Call our Wellness Desk at (814) 624-0606 or book online, and take your first step toward real answers.

Children go through a lot of physical stress as they grow. Birth, learning to lift the head, crawling, walking, falls, sports, posture, backpacks, and screen time can all place stress on the spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on helping the body move and function as well as possible.
Pediatric adjustments are very gentle and are adapted to the child’s age, size, and stage of development. The amount of pressure used with an infant is very light, often similar to checking the ripeness of a tomato. Our doctors always explain what they are doing and make sure parents feel comfortable.

Most children tolerate care very well. Babies may fuss because they are hungry, tired, or being positioned in a new way, but the adjustment itself is gentle. Many parents notice their child relaxes during or after the visit.

We care for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, athletes, and teenagers. The visit is always adapted to the child’s age and comfort level.

Parents often schedule a visit if they notice:

  • Trouble turning the head equally both ways
  • Preference for nursing or bottle-feeding on one side
  • Flat spots or head positioning concerns
  • Frequent falls or clumsiness
  • Poor posture or tech neck
  • Complaints of back, neck, or headaches
  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain
  • Discomfort after a fall, accident, or rough play

Yes, chiropractic care can be helpful for young athletes by supporting better mobility, alignment, recovery, and body mechanics. Sports place repetitive stress on the spine and joints, so regular checkups can help identify movement restrictions before they become bigger problems.

At Live Well, we focus on whole-family wellness. Our goal is not just to chase symptoms, but to help children grow, move, and function well. We take time to educate parents, keep care gentle, and create a comfortable experience for both children and families.

The best first step is a consultation and gentle evaluation. We will listen to your concerns, assess your child, explain what we find, and let you know whether chiropractic care may be a good fit.
