Welcome to Live Well: Upstate Center for Natural Health, in Elmira, New York!

At Live Well: Upstate Center for Natural Health, we make your health and comfort the first priority. What we treat is YOU, by going to the root cause of your disease or pain. Our medicine is gentle and effective with several positive side-effects. Natural medicine is functional medicine, helping the body to regulate its mechanisms in a wholesome and effective manner. At the end of the day, it is your own body that does the healing; the practitioners at Live Well are essential guides (and instigators!) to your healing process.

Natural medicine uses several therapies simultaneously, and may include nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, lifestyle counseling and acupuncture. We have many tools in our skill set. For example, massage therapy is useful for more than stress and achy muscles, and our expert therapists can help you move forward.

- pain and discomfort of all kinds
- musculoskeletal trauma, immobility and structural problems
