Lifetime Health & Wellness

Most of the reviews on here are from people with chronic pain. I wanted to offer a different perspective. I am an athletic late-​thirties female. I run long distances, bike longer distances on roads and gravel, and spend a great deal of time mountain biking in the woods. In addition, I lift weights and just generally beat up my body on a fairly regular basis. Occasionally I get an acute injury from falling off of my bike, etc. It happens. The care plan the doctors have put together have helped to keep my body healthy and aligned so that it performs all of the tasks I want it to with minimal pain and complications. I have been going to the doctors for 2+ years. The care plan is built into my monthly budget because to me, having a healthy body that performs how I want it to is priceless. Bottom line: the docs and their care plans are great for athletes.

Dr. Doughtery was able to rid me completely of my chronic sciatica. We soon brought our young daughter who has a host of autoimmune issues and chronic inflammation. The change in her was indisputable and impressed all her specialists. Her daily pain greatly reduced, her range of motion increased. Dr. Leonard began treating her using acupuncture and it was a game changer for her life. Her sleeplessness, school work, and other smaller issues normalized. It did take consistent treatment but they are great at treating only when needed and now we go a lot less frequently. My third pregnancy was easier ten years later than my first because Dr. Doughtery was able to keep me more comfortable. It wasn’t long before I was standing in the office nearly crying myself handing over a miserable squalling baby to Dr. Christine Leonard. We walked out that day with a sleeping baby in my arms. There is nothing as precious to me as my child. I entrust my kids to them. In return, they have made a marked improvement on my children’s’ quality of life. I tear up writing this because they may be some of the most impactful people in her life. Her skeptical doctors/​specialists quickly began asking what we are doing because the results were indisputable. Dr. Doughtery & Leonard are warm, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. The massage therapy is pretty outstanding too. Erin & Andy know your family and quite frankly-​truly care. I’ve referred several friends & family to their practice because I know what they do works. I can’t really express how thankful I am for the doctors at LHW nor how highly I think of them. But, I can say I know without a doubt they greatly improved my child’s quality of life beyond what was ever expected. Nothing could mean more to me.

Front office people are great. Office is new and inviting. I’m seeing Dr. Michelle Dougherty. It was the most thorough and professional assessment I’ve ever received from any Dr.

I started chiropractic care when I was midway through my pregnancy. Each and every adjustment was a true blessing and helped me get through carrying another large baby. Even though I was 40 and in my third pregnancy the end was easier than the beginning. Now a year after the birth, I am running 5k’s, something I couldn’t do before starting treatment, due to hip pain. Now my husband and three daughters are adjusted monthly as well. We understand and see the need to take a proactive approach to our health! However the cost is not cheap by any means, they are always patient and make arrangements so that we may continue with our treatments when money gets tight. I am truly grateful to all the staff members for being kind and caring, it makes for a delightful experience for all of us.

I started going to Lifetime Health and Wellness in 2011. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and experiencing chronic headaches and migraines. I was in the 3^rd trimester of my pregnancy and my OBGYN referred me to a chiropractor because of the headaches and migraines. At the time my knowledge on chiropractic care was extremely limited, but I said I’d give it a try because I needed some relief.
I searched for chiropractors and called several but only received a voice mail, I found Lifetime Health and Wellness and finally got a «live» person on the phone, which was able to schedule me the same week for a consultation.
I went in and talked with Dr. Michelle who was eXtremely nice, knowledgeable and personable, I learned a great deal of information and was ready for my first ever adjustment in hopes that it would provide me some level of relief from the headaches and migraines.
I think that first week I saw her 2 – 3 times and by the end of the following week (my consultation was on a Friday I believe); I was feeling relief and started seeing the benefits of adding Chiropractic care to my life. I remember thinking… Wow I wish I would have known about this sooner…
I continued to go throughout my pregnancy… my headaches and migraines did not disappear however I can saw that they were not at all at the level or frequency they were when I first walked in the door. When I walked through the door my daily pain level exceeded a 10, it wasn’t manageable, I felt horrible however with consistent chiropractic care I could rate it between a 4 –5 on a scaled of 1 – 10. I was able to play with my 3 yr. old son, go to the grocery store, and enjoy life and my pregnancy a little better.
Now my whole entire family goes… my husband (he was a hard sell); my 4 yr. old son and my daughter. My daughter has been going since she was an infant. At first it was a little difficult to get my son to get on the table, but now he totally looks forward to it. He has seasonal allergies and Dr. Michelle has given some tips on things to do at home to give him relief.
My husband was a hard sell at first; however he loves going now, every time he goes he says it’s like they take a weight off of his shoulders and feels and looks much better.
My daughter fell down 15 stairs in our home when she turned one because we had an outside contractor in our home and they left the top stairs gate open, because of that we had a claim filed and Andy was great with assisting us in getting things taken care of regarding the claim.
We all continue to go as part of maintenance. I cannot say enough about all of the staff, everyone is so friendly, helpful and professional.

I have been a patient here for nearly a year and I could not be happier with Lifetime Health and Wellness. Everyone there is caring and friendly and very knowledgable. I have learned so much valuable information from the doctors and staff here, and from free educational seminars they offer. Not only do they do chiropractic adjustments but they do acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and offer testing/​treatment for many other issues people may have. I see both doctors here. I see Dr. Christine for my adjustments and acupuncture and Dr. Michelle has worked with me to figure out why I have had certain issues for years. Through testing, that she recommended, we found that I had copper toxicity which most likely was the cause of issues that I have had for years. Before finding Lifetime Health and Wellness I had seen just about every kind of doctor and had every kind of test imaginable with no answers. Before starting chiropractic care I was taking a daily migraine preventative medicine for my frequent headaches. Due to my chiropractic care, not only am I off that daily medicine… I rarely get headaches anymore. Lifetime Health and Wellness offers so much to help people be the healthiest they can be. I would recommend them to anyone and I frequently do! As a matter of fact, our whole family goes here for regular chiropractic care.

I never thought there was solution to chronic pain I was in due to long time arthritic issues and surgeries. Dr. Christine developed a plan of care that worked with my schedule, budget and wellness needs. In just 4 short months I have experienced an increase in range motion and decrease in inflammation and pain. My quality of life is improving bit by bit. The entire staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Their dedication for complete health and wellness of mind, body and spirit is inspiring. From the educational information provided on the members web page to the many free classes and seminars they make available. I am looking forward to the next 4 months and beyond to see where they can take me in my quest for better health and life quality.
T.S.

So, they act all caring and like they are really there to help you, but then they give you this plan where you have come like three times a week for the rest of your life and even with really good insurance coverage, they still charge more for their services. They are only open until 6pm; closed on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. So, basically, they work four days a week until 6pm. It’s no wonder with the prices they charge. Not worth it all.
