Dr. Licata can be very convincing. He begins with several x-rays measuring your alignment and recommends you bring your spouse in with you for the results. He recommends this so that he can have both financial decision makers together to sign off on a months long treatment plan that is in the $2000 range that is only payable all at once, or through a financing company, meaning he gets his money no matter what. He is very convincing with his presentation and ability to help, but does not accept pay as you go, you must sign up for the plan. I was nervous about it and had I not been referred to him by my physical therapist, I would have never signed up. After signing up, he has you come to an orientation with all of his new clients. This was where I really got the snake oil salesman vibe. He asked everyone in attendance to fill out a card referring people they know to him and asked that everyone write a review for him online. This was before any treatments took place. I didn't refer anyone, nor did I write a review. I thought, "I'll write one once I've had several treatments and see what the outcome is". Once I signed up for the plan, as I was leaving the receptionist said, "it's so gentle, you'll think it's fake." After 12 visits, I can confirm that for me, it is fake as I have seen no change from seeing Licata nor has my physical therapist seen any changes after my visits from him. Needless to say, they are no longer referring him clients. I must also say, that after my initial "adjustment" during my subsequent visits he gave no treatment at all and said I was "aligned". The visit was still a part of my treatment plan and yes, it cost $60 of the $2000k to walk in and have him tell me I was aligned that day. I did speak with the receptionist and told her my concerns, let her know I would like to speak with Dr. Licata about receiving a refund for the unused visits and I never got a response. BUYER BEWARE!

I came in with severe neck, back and sciatica pain. I could not straighten my back or walk normally. I couldn't sleep at night because of the pain, I started to see Dr. Licata in May 2011, he told me it would take a while, but I would get better. I have received excellent care. The Lord has given him healing hands. Dr. Licata truly cares about his patients. I tell all of my friends about him! I feel better now and can do so much more! Thank you Dr. Licata, you are GREAT!

I was in an auto accident in May of 2011 and I had seen a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and a physical therapist and the pain persisted for 10 months after. I went to see Dr. Licata with pain in my neck and back. I had trouble sleeping at night and I had very little energy. After seeing Dr. Licata for around 6 months or I no longer live with constant pain in my neck and back, I can sleep through the night and I have more energy than before. There was no cracking or popping, nor are there are any sharp movements. You wouldn't even know something had changed if it weren't for feeling better. :)

I was referred by an old high school friend. She ran into my Mom and recommended Dr. Licata to the fullest. My Mom made me come. I had not been able to walk for a long walk and had gained almost 30 pounds. After regaining the ability to exercise pain free I lost the 30 lbs plus more. I don't have the sever back and neck pain that I had. I could not get out of bed sometimes without being in a lot of pain. Now I can do my regular activities plus more. I want to be able to live a healthy, stress-free life. Sometimes I feel stressed about the illnesses of my family and forget that a year ago I was in so much pain, I had no room or time to stress.

When I came to see Dr. Licata, I had extreme lower back pain to the extent that I could not sit, walk, or stand for more than a couple of minutes at a time. It started about two and a half months ago and lasted a couple of weeks with no relief except for what I could find in over-the-counter pain medication and through stretching exercises. Now, I have more mobility. Walking is easier. Standing is easier. And I can move more freely. Dr. Licata and his staff are polite, courteous, and friendly. I would recommend him to others because of his ability to relate to you personally and make you feel comfortable. He walks you through every step of the way and doesn't assume anything.
