I was rear-ended at a stop sign by someone going 50mph. He swerved at the last second and hit me at an angle, otherwise I would probably have died. I walked away but for weeks afterwards I was foggy and felt this strange suffocating feeling, even though my airway was fine. I also noticed that my head dropped to one side and it took effort to keep it up straight. I saw a medical doctor but received referrals only for concussion. This was not my problem. On the advice of a friend, I tried Health Horizons. They did an X-ray analysis of my posture and determined that my atlas had become misaligned. (The atlas is a vertebra at the top of the spinal column; as I understand it, it holds up the head the way Atlas held up the world.) They showed me the digital image of my X-ray, with points marked for the center of each vertebrae, and it was obvious: at the atlas point of my spine there was a sharp bend in the line. They scheduled me for an atlas adjustment -- a painless procedure where the doctor has you lie in a precise position and then taps your atlas with an imperceptible instrument. I had to lie still thereafter, and keep my posture aligned for 24 hours with a neck collar. The suffocating feeling was gone. The doctor taught me how a misaligned atlas constricts blood flow to the brain, causing that feeling and the fogginess that naturally follows. Also gone was the tipping of my head. My posture was now perfect, and it was visible on the digital image they did for follow up visits. Without Health Horizons, I believe I would have spent a lifetime with mysterious feelings of suffocation and fogginess, not to mention a tilting head. Or I might have pursued costly and invasive procedures. Instead, my problem was solved painlessly. I am in my 50's and have never been so quickly and painlessly cured of a serious health problem. Health Horizons works miracles. read more

I first started seeing this chiropractor after a car accident. The car insurance company paid for my treatment until approximately a month and a half after starting treatment. At that point, Health Horizons informed me that they will no longer take my insurance, and I need to pay out of pocket per visit ($55 per visit for approximately 2 months, multiple appointments). I agreed to this. Once they started asking me to make multiple appointments on multiple days of the week, I opted to stop treatment. The total length of treatment was approximately 3 months. Following that, I was suddenly informed by Health Horizons that the insurance company opted not to make any payments to Health Horizons, and I owed them $700. When I asked why it took the insurance company months to inform them of non-payment, they told me, "that's how it works". This chiropractor is the reason why this "form of treatment" has such a negative reputation both in the medical field and also among the general public. This office sees every patient not as a human being, but as a dollar sign. When their checks stopped being written, they suddenly had insurance issues, and I needed to pay up or else! The "chiropractor" actually left me threatening voice mail messages. Avoid these bottom-feeder scammers at all costs! In response to below: this insurance is auto related insurance, not health insurance. I know how much insurance I carry and in this case, it was covered by another liable insurance carrier. In office treatment time averages 10-12 minutes per session. The sessions you are saying that are not covered by insurance in a month were about 10. So 10, 12 minute sessions costs $700 out of pocket??? It's sad that businesses like yours exist, taking advantage of people in uncertain times. You reap what you sow... read more

I've been going to Health Horizons for over a month now for pregnancy related aches and pains. Dr. Roth and the entire staff is so incredibly friendly. I really notice a difference after each visit. My baby was breeched but Dr. Roth's methods and at-home advice helped him get turned the right way! They're very accommodating with scheduling too. I definitely will continue being a patient post-baby. They're located in the building next to the Pub at 333 in Oakmont. read more

Haima, Lymphedema terapist is amazing. I never knew I had lymphedema for 7 years from chronic lyme disease. I am receiving lymphedema tx through AHN with leg wraps however Haima treatments are helping to move the lymph fluids that is like sludge. She is great and my legs are less swollen after treatment ! read more

Amazing staff..they don't get the respect they deserve for everyone's hard work. They smile and go above when they offer to caregivers and med techs And help make their work easier during the day. That little bit of help . Makes it a better day!!! read more

Our entire family sees Dr Roth. Her sincere care for our health, the time she takes to really listen and observe, her professionalism and that of the staff is like no other we've come across. The practitioners with Health Horizons approach the body holistically and for this I am grateful. Upon relocating to the west coast we've tried to find a comparable practice. Needless to say I will always make time to visit Health Horizons when visiting Pittsburgh. read more

Dr. Greer is simply amazing! He saw my dad today, who is a brand-new patient to this practice. My dad is 84 and has been experiencing pretty debilitating back pain for the past three weeks. As a current patient of this practice (I see Dr. North, who is also terrific) I knew that the first appointment is usually just one for discussion and x-rays. But, because Dr. Greer truly cares about his patients, he spent two hours with my dad, listening to him, hearing his concerns, and immediately starting his chiropractic care. I can guarantee you won't find this kind of atmosphere of caring at many other places. I feel confident that Dr. Greer will be a huge help to my dad. I also should point out that, prior to seeing Dr. North, I was not, personally, a huge believer in chiropractic care. I am now. Everyone in this office knows your name and they truly care about you as a person. This is a great place and I recommend that everyone give it a try, even if you aren't a believer, you will be. read more

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the healing I received here! I am from Miami, Fl and came up to visit family . The day before I left I pulled my back out and the pain was unspeakable! They took me in without an appointment and the compassionate and professional way they treated me was above and beyond expectations! I really love their gentle approach and the complete body healing pathway! The Dr. addressed all my questions and spoke to me regarding all areas of Total health! I highly recommend Health Horizons from my own personal and positive experience there! read more

Health Horizons has transformed my life! Prior to treatment from this amazing staff I suffered from constant back and leg pain, acute sinusitis, ear infections, headaches and fatigue, and was hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction. Their holistic approach to treating patients has been instrumental to my progress and my health has improved dramatically over the past several months. In addition to relieving my pain, this Wellness Centre is helping me to make healthy, positive changes that have been life altering. Their personalized nutrition and chiropractic plans are exactly what I need, and the massage therapists are a great complement to the care I receive. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have access to such superior health care. Arlene Sparks read more

I have been treating here with chiropractic after an auto accident. It is a very busy office, yet rarely had to wait more than a few minutes to get seen at my scheduled appointment. The staff is very friendly and take great effort to know who you are when you walk in. I've seen mainly Dr. Lacy Smiesko and Dr. Katherine Palombini and have been very happy with the results. Their hours are fantastic with their evening and weekend hours to assist those that work a 9-5p job. Dr. Smiesko is their newest chiropractor and a real sweetheart of a person besides being very knowledgeable in her field. If you are under the age of 35, you may particularly enjoy her as your clinician, although all the staff are great. A shout out also to "Becca" the massage therapist. She is amazing! The busy office is a testament to others also appreciating the high quality of services provided here. read more

Great care by Dr Roth, very gentle , adapts care to your needs. Office staff kind and reaponsive

I have been a patient at Health Horizons for 12 years and I am so thankful for these doctors and this practice! My family of 5 all use the chiropractic services as well as the massage therapy and nutritional evaluations. We have seen all 4 doctors over the years and can say each one of them is truly amazing! The massage therapist Becca is a huge reason why I can still stay active at a high level year round! Whether is it a routine adjustment or a serious injury, I can always count on the best care and exceptional results. The receptionist are friendly, accommodating, patient and understanding. It is always a welcome environment. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for good health and wellness! We love Health Horizons!!!! read more

The Doctors at Health Horizons are nothing short of amazing. Not to bore you, but after a bad fall, weeks of traction, bed rest, 3 milligrams and finally back surgery and months of rehab, I assumed my life would always be painful and with limited mobility. Not so! After seeing many specialists at major institutions, and more surgery recommendations, a friend recommended Health Horizons. I was more than skeptical that chiropractic treatment could alleviate my pain. I now feel great, and if I follow their sound advice am without pain. Amazing! I would be remiss, to not mention that the entire staff is knowledgable, welcoming, friendly, and I often wonder how they can be so upbeat all the time. Probably because they too feel great. My husband and I are most comfortable there and couldn't be without their services. Health Horizons is first class in every way, and it's not easy to impress me. read more

Health Horizons in Oakmont, PA is a one-stop shop, which is very important to me. Have you been in an accident? Have you fallen on the ice while shoveling snow? Have you fallen off a step-stool? Has your weight caused you additional pain in your knees and back, etc.? Have you had problems with your weight? Have you had problems with nutritional issues? If you're anything like me, one of these issues has come up sometime in your lifetime. Well if they have, I highly recommend Health Horizons. I started my relationship with Health Horizons in September 1997. I had suffered for many years with mid-back and lower-back pains (mainly due to being overweight). I had been in a few car accidents (rear-ended, not my fault). I had fallen on the ice a few times, which torqued my whole body out of alignment. Who did I call first? No not Ghost Busters, Health Horizons. I knew that they had the tools to help my body heal, faster than any pills could ever do. Besides the Chiropractic care that they provide, they also provide the services of an awesome Massage Therapy staff. Who doesn't like to treat themselves once in a while to a great massage, even if there's no major body malfunction? I know that I do. In 2002 I was having some emotional issues, and found Health Horizons a place that I could stop just for a moment and talk to one of the Chiropractors to keep me grounded, which was so very helpful during this rough spot in my life. And get a hug or two. Through the years Health Horizons has tried to help me with my poor health, which was a result of being morbidly obese for many, many years. March 6, 2013 found me on my back in an exam room with Dr. Kathy Palombini for a nutritional consultation. She stated that I really needed to do something about my weight, which wasn't unusual, since we always talked about my weight. This time, however, she said that I needed to do something drastic to jump start weight loss. I thought that she was referring to surgery, and I whipped my head around to protest (fortunately I was at the Chiropractor's, which if I had given myself a case of whiplash, which I didn't, they could have fixed me). I told her in no uncertain terms that I wasn't having surgery. She calmed me down and informed me that she had been doing research regarding a program called SHAPE ReClaimed and she felt that I would really benefit from this program. She informed me that it was an all-in or all-out type of program. She gave me the book to take home and read over. I scheduled an appointment for March 13, 2013 and took the book home and read it cover to cover. At my appointment on March 13, 2013, I told her that I was all-in. I started the program on Sunday, March 17, 2013, weighing in at 317.2 (I'm 5'2"), which made me morbidly obese. With a lot of support from Dr. Kathy Palombini and her staff, as of today, April 30, 2014 I have discarded roughly 140+ pounds, have been taken off of some of my prescription medications, reduced many of my numbers (cholesterol, A1C, etc.), lost over 100 inches, gone down many sizes in my clothing, etc. If it wasn't for Dr. Kathy Palombini, I'm not sure that I would be here today to be writing this testimonial. I knew back in March 2013 that if I didn't make a change that it wouldn't be too long before my life would be over. I made the decision to make the necessary changes in my life to get healthy, but Dr. Kathy Palombini has supported me every step of the way. The Lifestyle Education Coordinator's (Andrea Taylor and former employee, Daniele Proch), the other Chiropractors, Dr. Frank Cicirello, Dr. Kathy Roth, and Dr. Michael Greer, the Massage Therapist (especially Becca Heyns), and of course the rest of the staff (Tina Haas, Leslie Imm, Nicole O'Leath, Cherie Scatena, Peggy Schorsch, and Michelle Slater - I'm sorry if I missed anyone) and all of the wonderful patients at Health Horizons that I've met while in the office have also supported me. No matter what, I have felt nothing but unconditional love and understanding from Dr. Kathy Palombini and Dr. Frank Cicirello (and everyone else at Health Horizons) over the past 17 years (except for the two six month periods that I chose to try two other chiropractor's that were in-network with my health plan), but they didn't work out for one reason or another. I came back to Health Horizons and will never leave them. They are the best. Check them out at http://health-horizons.com. Call them at (412) 828-0700. Or stop by and visit them at 609 Allegheny Avenue, Oakmont, PA 15139. Valarie A. Michael read more

these folks offer a good service. i have been there several times. I am very happy with their care as chiros. i especially appreciate the fact that they are NOT "back crackers' and "neck crunchers" the way many chiros are. my one complaint is that during a nutritional counseling using kineseology i was told i had bartonella and babesia ,all tick borne illness, as a result I bought $125 in supplements and remedies, but when after getting medically blood tested, the tests came back negative.. personally, i dont think they know the difference between bartonella and babesia..and shouldnt be handing out diagnosis so hap-hazard, and i spoke to one other person that had this happen as well. it freaks out a person being told they have lyme coinfection and then find out they dont. read more

I was born with an extreme case of scoliosis. Doctors informed my parents at the time that I needed corrective surgery. While the surgery corrected the problem, it did not prevent me from having the pain I now experience from nerve interference. I had a preconceived notion that chiropractic care involved twisting and turning my back. Since my spine is fused together from the surgery, I figured that chiropractic care was out of the question. I heard about the wonderful success rate and techniques used at HEALTH HORIZONS and decided to give them a try. After a few months of adjustments, my pain was gone. AND THAT WAS OVER 20 YEARS AGO! I still continue to have a once a month maintenance visit. Their well trained and courteous staff can answer any questions regarding your health care. They are a full service chiropractic facility that also offers educational classes, body massages and nutritional supplements. My husband, son & I highly recommend Health Horizons to everyone young and old. Give them a try, you won't be sorry! read more
