Laser Therapy, or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970’s. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States.

Faye Z.

It is really professional and high quality.

I had a good visit today. My treatment went very well. I was relaxed and felt good about it. I really like when I am given the final treatment of the day. It is very relaxing and feels really good.

Knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff

While training for s half marathon I experienced sharp pain in my hip. I felt that it was the joint alignment and after 3 intense sessions My hip finally loosened up to adjust! I screamed with joy as as soon as I heard it I knew that is what it needed! Great Doc, dedicated to healing his patients, great and friendly staff throughout!

The sonogram treatment gave me the relief that I needed.

Great relief from overused muscles

Jeff is a great doctor and very in tune with what hurts on my body. He takes time to find why things hurt and then readjusts things to help my body work the way it is supposed to work.

Dr. Ruscitto is the best!!

Stephanie K.

Amazing Results

Please know that Dr.'s Ruscitto and Benedetti are the only licensed chiropractors in this area who can give you pain-free results in as little as one appointment. I am relieved of my back and neck pain after EVERY visit. And EVERY visit includes comprehensive exam and treatment. I highly recommend for pain-specific treatment and maintenance of a healthy spine.

Response from Lifeforce Chiropractic: Thanks Stephanie for the kind words, very much appreciated!!

Been coming to Lifeforce a long time. I love the care and treatment and refer people there all the time.

Enzo Ruscitto

High Ankle Sprain- I suffered a high ankle sprain during football season and was told that I would be out of commission for 4-6 weeks. With the use of the K-Laser and high volt galvanic stim the swelling and bruising was gone by the third day. At two weeks I was able to tape my ankles and get back to competition, fully two or more weeks earlier than was projected.

Jen Roland

I'm a recent patient at Lifeforce and I have to say I'd highly recommend them to anyone seeking a chiropractor in the Pittsburgh area. The staff is friendly and the doctor very informative and is evidently concerned about each of his patient's care.

Alyssa Brianne

great chiropractor! highly reccommended :)

Judy C.

Answer to my prayers!!!!
I was faced with the possibility of a series of steroid injections to my back to relieve chronic pain. I came to Lifeforce instead and after traction, adjustment, and fitting for orthotics I went from a pain level of 6-8 down to 1. Dr. Jeff and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. With their help my quality of life has improved immensely.

Jeff O.
