Editorial review from Citysearch 4/2/2013

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! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/17/2012

Before starting with Dr. Licata, I was in horrible condition. I was 20 years old, living with chronic Asthma most of my life, chronic joint pains all over my body, and very much over weight at 232lbs. I couldn't workout or do normal activities due to my pains and asthma. All my life I have tried every kind of medicine and many kinds of treatments and nothing ever seemed to work for me. After speaking with Dr. Licata, he said that for my body to heal, it will take time and my dedication to get better, but I will get better. So I decided to give it one more shot. \r \r Just after the first adjustment, I felt different, a good different, and it was uphill from there. Now it has been almost two years, and I have no pains whatsoever, and my asthma is well controlled. I workout out 6 times week, 4 hours a days and im 185lbs now. My life has improved and changed drastically. I couldn't be happier. \r \r Everything about Licata Chiropractic is amazing. The staff is incredible. They are very nice organized and actually care about every patient there. And words can't describe Dr. Licata. He is one of the most genuine people I have met. He wants to help you get better and cares about your wellbeing. He is very educated and loves what he does. What else could you ask for. I definitely recommend Licata Chiropractic. more

Dr. Licata truly changed my life! 4/3/2012

The first time I visited Dr. Licata's offices I had been suffering from continuous twitching in the right side of my neck. ?After my initial visit I noticed a tremendous difference in my neck. Today, the pain has entirely disappeared and I have not felt this great in a very long time. 

Dr. Licata was very professional, honest, and trustworthy. ?He is not only a great doctor, but a great person. ?I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends. more

FINALLY A NORMAL LIFE AGAIN..!! 4/2/2012

8 years ago I began to suffer from severe pain in my right hip, knee and leg, could not walk properly and could not go up or down stairs. I was fortunate to meet a friend who told me about Dr. Licata and treatment she received with great success. I went to his clinic and I started treatment immediately. With much surprise the next morning after the first session, I could get out of bed without any problems. After three sessions, I had to take a trip where I did tourism, walk long distances, and above all I could go up and down stairs without any pain or difficulty. After a year of treatment and maintenance with Dr. Licata, my life has changed dramatically. Thanks Dr. Licata because today I can live a normal life. Aida Betancourt more

Dr. Licata was the only one that was able to help me get relief 3/28/2012

I have been to a number of chiropractors over the years and Dr. Licata was the only one that was able to help me get relief from the chronic pain I have lived with for over 20 years. He is very patient, kind, and compassionate and truly cares about his patients and their overall well-being. more

At the worst times I had migraines five out of seven days per week 3/21/2012

I am 32 years old and have experienced chronic migraine headaches since I was about six years old. At the worst times I had migraines five out of seven days per week. Blinding, incapacitating pain; Through Kaiser, I had gone through migraine clinics and been prescribed many different pain medications and muscle relaxers over the years, none of which worked for long; I started coming into this practice over a year ago and haven't had a migraine since. I can't thank Dr. Licata enough. more

Dr Licata has been working with our kids 3/13/2012

Dr Licata has been working with our kids (ages 3 and 5) for the past year and has truly aided in their health and development. As young boys, they frequently fall and injure themselves, and because of Dr. Licata's work, they have been able to be in alignment and at their best. Before being treated, our sons had frequent colds, ear infections, allergies, and now I cannot remember the lsat time they were sick. Our youngest son also had a difficult time developing his language abilities and after a few appointments was speaking much more frequently and clearly. We are profoundly grateful for Dr. Licata's work and who he is, as a very genuine, caring physician. more

I came here looking for alternative care to drugs and surgery 3/6/2012

I came here looking for alternative care to drugs and surgery for my wrist and shoulder pain. I've been seeing Dr. Licata for about 3 months now and have noticed significant improvement in those areas and an overall improvement in my well being. Dr. Licata is genuinely concerned about his patients and gives everyone 110%. He'll tell you straight out if he can help you or not. The only con I can think of is the cost. As of now he doesn't accept insurance, but as long as your insurance covers chiropractic care you can submit it yourself. more

Thank you Dr. Licata! 2/27/2012

Dr. Licata, who practices upper cervical chiropractic has produced results that I have not seen from any other chiropractor. I have seen benefits with regards to my stiff neck and shoulders. I have also experienced reduced lower back pain.

Skip regular chiropractors who keep cracking you, and go see an upper cervical chiropractor like Dr. Licata to start seeing improvements with your physical ailments. Dr. Licata also takes x-rays before and after treatment which also helps you see the changes.

His care treats the root cause of the problem unlike regular chiropractors who never treat the root problem with such precision. So before you head out to get your neck or back cracked, I recommend you pay Dr. Licata a visit, you will be glad you did. more

I talk about this to people every chance I get. 2/20/2012

I would recommend Dr. Licata without hesitation! 2/14/2012

I was experiencing severe pain in my hip area and my buttocks on the left side. The condition had reared it s ugly head three years ago, but a year ago had become so painful I finally went to a general chiropractor. The general chiropractor treated it with heat and moisture to no avail. I am now experiencing an almost pain-free day. I have noticed improvements in my eyes and my memory as well. (Because of my older age, I m learning it takes time to completely heal). Great staff! I have been treated wonderfully! The staff is very professional and personable and I feel I have made two new friendships. I would recommend Dr. Licata without hesitation! more

I had severe neck pain and I couldn t sleep 2/8/2012

The reason I came to see Dr. Licata was because I had severe neck pain and I couldn t sleep. I have lived with this condition most of my life, have been treated for depression, and I have had two nose surgeries. Coming to see Dr. Licata has been life changing for me! I now sleep a full seven hours. I feel like I am in my 20 s again! As a result of feeling better and sleeping better, I have lost weight and feel great! I love the staff here. They are excellent! They actually care and listen. Edie is the best - it wouldn t be the same without her! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Licata to anyone who needs to have their life changed for the better! more

My friends and family have all noticed the changes 1/30/2012

First visit to Dr. Licata I was limping, hunched over, in constant pain and not able to do a lot of things. My body was in horrible condition and being in constant pain made me very irritable. I have been to a chiropractor before that bends and cracks and did get relief but never got to the point where I would have to return maybe once or twice a year, kind of like maintenance on an automobile (a tune up twice a year). With following Dr. Licata's recommendations for my treatments with the exception of missing one adjustment and a small set-back due to a trip that involved sitting on an airplane, taxis, and bus tours, I am no longer limping, hunched over, nor in constant pain. My body is stronger and I am able to do more things and I am feeling so much better. I even walk and stand straighter. My friends and family have all noticed the changes and I share my experience and recommend Dr. Licata as often as I get a chance. more

significant relief in my back pain 1/23/2012

I have had problems with low back pain/sacral discomfort and scoliosis for the last twelve years. Since coming to Dr. Licata, I have had significant relief in my back pain and I have a better sleeping pattern. I have noticed increased flexibility. It is easier to stand and walk for longer periods of time. The staff has been very professional and I would definitely recommend Dr. Licata. I have already explained or attempted to refer others. I know those I refer would benefit. more

I came to see Dr. Licata because I had chronic neck pain 1/16/2012

I came to see Dr. Licata because I had chronic neck pain, trouble turning my head, numbness in my left hand, and migraines with regularity. I had these symptoms for YEARS! Before coming to see Dr. Licata, I went to see an orthopedic doctor and he said I was fine. I took Advil regularly and tried exercises. After I started care here at the Licata Clinic, the numbness in my hand was fixed after the first visit. I could turn my neck further after the first visit. Migraines have been few and far between. I have also noticed that have fewer mood swings, less frequent issues. Edie is awesome!! Dr. Licata is the best doctor around because he actually focuses and listens to your issues and gives great advice for treatment! Without a doubt, everybody should know about this and Dr. Licata! more

I came to see Dr Licata for my shoulder pain 1/10/2012

I came to see Dr Licata for my shoulder pain. I could hardly move my left shoulder and I was also getting pains in my neck, back and waist. Dr Licata is someone who listens to his patients. He is patient, respectful, and dedicated to helping you find a solution to your needs. He always saw me as a human being who needed to heal, and not just as a number. And that is why I think he is called to be a doctor. At the beginning of care, I worried that I wasn't getting better fast enough. Of course, all patients want to get better immediately! But with the doctor's help, I learned that healing is a process that takes time, and does not happen by magic! My pain has improved 85%! My movement has improved 90%! I have much less difficulty performing my work, or doing things around the house. Thank you for helping me with my health. more

Dr. Licata found scoliosis, which no other did. 12/5/2011

Years of doctor visits regarding my sore back resulted in little progress. Dr. Licata found scoliosis, which no other did. Relieving stress on my neck has resulted in related improvements in my hips and hamstrings. more

I will also look forward to getting better. 12/4/2011

I think Dr. Licata is very nice and Marline is so sweet. I will always share the great info and tell other people to come. I will continue to look forward to coming to this nice place. I will also look forward to getting better. more

I am also much better and handling stress. 12/2/2011

After about 2 1/2 months of treatment I have noticed significant improvement in several areas. Severe head and neck pain are completely gone. Nerve sensations down arms and tingling fingers have stopped. Sleep is much better on a regular basis, and digestion is improved. I have seen some improvement in chronic allergies especially during change in weather pressure and have rarely had to use asthma medicine since starting treatment. I am also much better and handling stress. All these changes are making me feel very positive about my future. more
