About the Business

Welcome to Ascent Functional Wellness, a premier health clinic in Pittsburgh, PA, specializing in innovative chiropractic care and functional medicine. Located at 9200 Old Perry Hwy, our clinic stands out as one of the few in the region to offer the renowned Activator Methods Technique. This technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held instrument called an Activator to deliver gentle, precise adjustments, eliminating the need for twisting, thrusting, or popping, thereby reducing stress on the body and accelerating recovery.
Our chiropractors utilize specific patient motions to accurately identify the bones, joints, or muscles that require adjustment and determine the precise direction needed. This method ensures that there is no guessing when it comes to your health. The Activator Methods Technique is highly favored for its gentle approach and its effectiveness in treating various areas, including cranial bones, TMJ, extremities, and sinuses.

Reviews
"I got in so quickly with back pain during my pregnancy and had immediate relief. Dr. Lucas and Dr. Kelly are so knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this practice for chiropractic care!"
"Dr Lucas is a colleague of mine and has done some recent extensive training in the functional wellness space that includes gut and blood testing. I reached out for some personal recent health challenges that I wanted gain a deeper understanding in cause. Dr Lucas did not disappoint! He ordered two tests that I was easily able to complete on my own at home. The instructions were very straightforward for both stool and blood test. Once the results came back in, Dr Lucas takes the time to create a video that discusses his interpretation of your results. This is very helpful for anyone with a full personal and professional schedule. Also, great for personally documenting and referring back to results when we inevitably forget something that was discussed at a doctor appointment. Now I have a more clear understanding of why some of my health challenges popped up and the path forward for healing. I recommend Ascent Functional Wellness for anyone not happy with the answers they are getting from traditional medicine and looking to improve their health, energy, digestion, and mental clarity. Thank you Dr Lucas!"
"I moved to PA a year ago. Ever since I left my chiropractor in another state, I have been having severe lower back pain. I have tried several offices around town and got some relief but not like this! I am so thankful to have been referred to this office. Within a few visits I was feeling so much better!!! Dr Lucas and Dr Kelly really listen and take the time to focus on what the issue is and provide the best care possible. They provide such a welcoming and happy environment. I would 100% recommend this office. Please listen, follow their care advice, and you will be a better you for doing so! Your health and the health of your family is worth it!"
"Since the day I stepped into Amorose Family Chiropractic, I knew this was not going to be your average chiropractor visit. Drs. Kelly & Lucas welcomed me with a smile and used state of the art technology to acquire the data to figure out what was going on with my spine. After spending a few minutes in their office, it is clear they actually care about the overall well being of their patients. After just a week of adjustments, I no longer have neck pain, I'm sleeping regularly, and just overall feel better. I look forward to visiting the office each week because I know they're going to make me feel great. If you're looking for a great chiropractic practice, it doesnt get any better than Amorose!"
"I cannot stress enough, go, go, go and see Kelly and Lucas! The Amoroses are fantastic chiropractors and I have been so fortunate to know the two of them on a professional and personal level. They have kind hearts and big smiles which can put anyone in a good mood. They are incredibly bright individuals and are able to explain chiropractic care so clearly. I have been adjusted by both numerous times and have always had a great experience. Their gentle but adept way of adjusting leaves you feeling ten times better than when you first saw them. I have been adjusted by many chiropractors and, by far, Kelly and Lucas are my favorite. Both are professional in how they conduct business yet they also fill the rooms they enter with their amazing personalities. I am so jealous that the Pittsburgh area will now be blessed with these two individuals. I am definitely going to have to make the journey to their new office to see these two! The Amorose family is one that you will want to join as they will bring you joy and happiness. Truly special chiropractors."
