Patient Stories

“I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Luke hoping to get an adjustment that would hopefully help with some back pain, and be on my way. But he went above and beyond that, spending a good amount of time helping me figure out why I had the back pain in the first place. And he gave me resources to help me prevent it from coming back. It was obvious in that first appointment that he genuinely cares about the well being of his patients and his goal is to help you, and not have to see you again. I highly recommend Dr. Luke.”

“Such a wonderful duo! Had my first appointment (scheduled online) and immediately Michelle said you need to see my Husband, she called him and he came right in to see me then! So kind of them to accommodate me.

Dr. Luke was super thorough over my history (allergies) and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I had done some extensive research about my ongoing situation prior and he had even more info I had not yet learned! Highly recommend if you have been seeking some 1:1 care, and attention to detail. Thanks again!”

“Dr. Luke hands down, 100%, Healed our son from debilitating migraines he was having for years. We spent thousands of dollars and way too much time taking him to specialists who kept sending us to different specialists and never helped him. Found Dr Luke and he was healed in a few months! 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 we couldn’t thank him enough! “

“Dr Michelle is amazing! My first pregnancy (without seeing a chiropractor) resulted in my baby being breech and having to get a c-section. I wanted to do whatever I could to have a natural childbirth with my second baby, and started seeing Michelle when I was about 30ish weeks pregnant while the baby was transverse. I truly believe that Michelle’s help and suggestions not only allowed the baby to turn head down, but allowed my labor to progress pretty easily and quickly!! Highly, highly recommend her!”

“Dr. Luke treated each member of our family for nine years. I have never met another healthcare practitioner able to combine all of his skills. He is not your average chiropractor, he is absolutely holistically-minded. We originally sought his help with my nine year-old son who was recovering from surgery resulting from Legg Calve Perthes Disease. He helped eliminate my son’s pain when other doctors and surgeons had thrown up their hands. He subsequently treated me for lower back pain and shoulder and ankle sports-related injuries. His nutritional analysis resolved an allergic reaction when other docs prescribed steroids.”

Dr. Luke Pietrantone has been nothing short of miraculous. I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain, digestive problems and my right elbow has been in pain since I was in 9th grade (1999: a long time ago lol). I didn’t come to him for my elbow. I came in for my digestive system and lower back. It took 6 weeks for my digestive system to be normalized and gave me so much more energy, hope and just quality of life was that much better. Then he saw that every time I would come in I would be massaging my right forearm because of my elbow issue. I have been to so many doctors that would just send me to physical therapy, give me stretches and pain medicine. I gave up on my elbow but Dr. Pietrantone was up for the challenge and started working on that right away. From start to finish it was around 4 months and I can say now that I am pain free in my elbow and lower back and my digestive system is amazing and It wasn’t pain medicine that fixed me! I can’t stress enough how everyone that reads this needs to give him a chance and if you do the work (and honestly do the things he says to do) outside of the visits I believe you will see tremendous results!

“I was told to see Dr. Michelle by my prenatal fitness instructor, and then by my OB, on separate occasions, due to some hip and joint pain (I was 38 weeks pregnant). I’m SO HAPPY I listened to them! Dr. Michelle has been incredible, and after my first visit I felt so much better. I’ve also begun to notice that I’m sleeping right through the night, which has been amazing and wasn’t even something I mentioned as an issue because I figured it was a normal late-pregnancy thing that I would just have to deal with. Before I started seeing her I would be waking up at various hours of the night, often in pain and a lot of discomfort, and would end up getting up for the day by 4:00 or 5:00am. It’s only been a week, and my hip pain is mostly gone, I’m sleeping better, and I generally FEEL so much better. My only regret is that I didn’t start seeing her sooner. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Michelle!”

“Dr. Luke and Michelle Pietrantone have helped my family in so many ways over 5 years I can’t recommend them highly enough! My husband had neck and back pain for over 10 years and had seen many different chiropractors and physical therapists and still had no relief. He saw Dr. Luke for a month and he tested my husband for food sensitivities and asked him to stop eating nightshades and within 3 days the pain was gone. I knew at that point Dr. Luke was different from other chiropractors not only because he was actually able to help, but after a month rather than asking him to come in 2 times a week instead of 1 he told my husband that after a month he shouldn’t be in his office anymore so he knew there was an underlying problem. He found the problem and resolved it!”

“It was by chance that my life, as well as my daughter’s (starting before she was born), was changed by cranial sacral/NET/chiropractic. Dr. Luke and Dr. Michelle introduced me to an unknown world of healing and wellness that I haven’t looked back from! Their patience and care for ALL of their patients can’t go unnoticed. The depth of knowledge about total body wellness (mind, body and spirit) is incredible. It’s refreshing to know that there are still doctors out there who care to find the root of the problem and help your body heal naturally. However, isn’t that the way it should be? I can’t say enough good things and I HIGHLY recommend them for your entire family.”

“As the mother of four children, ages 6 and under, there are no two doctors whose advice and care mean more to me than Dr.Luke and Dr. Michelle. Whether I was seeing Dr. Luke for my own personal aches and pains or visiting Dr. Michelle during my multiple pregnancies, they were always a wealth of knowledge (and a huge source of comfort in those tiresome days of life with a newborn). One of my daughters was sick for months and months. She was not developing and after dozens of aggravating, and wasted, trips to the pediatrician, I made an appointment to see Dr. Luke. It took him one session to figure out the problem with our daughter. After making the necessary changes to her diet he suggested, she began to develop like a “normal” 18 month old. We rarely missed a monthly follow-up appointment with her for the next year and a half.”

“Dr. Michelle has magic hands. She truly has a gift. I saw her during my third pregnancy, regularly, and she kept me feeling great. She works to get babies in perfect alignment for smooth birthing. I had about 30 minutes of active labor! My easiest birth of all for my little 8lb 8oz baby! Dr. Michelle is very well known in the Northern Virginia area by pregnant mothers and babies. An asset to our community!

Dr. Luke is likewise amazing. He helped clear up my mastitis using percussion, ultrasound and supplements. I only saw him once for care, but have heard wonderful stories about his use of muscle testing and applied kinesiology. These two are a great pair.”

“My journey with Pietrantone Health started back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my second child. Drs. Michelle and Luke have been constants in my life and my family’s life ever since, and most recently with neurofeedback brain training. Coming out of the pandemic with four young children left me feeling depleted and with extremely high anxiety. Dr. Luke suggested I give brain training a try and I jumped in with both feet, willing and excited to make a positive shift, as even daily tasks around the house were a challenge. I diligently trained and my sessions became a lifeline. With Dr. Luke and Becca’s collaborative efforts, blurry edges were defined and I found I could function as a mom/wife/human again. I became goal-oriented once more, a willing multitasker, less overwhelmed by daunting household tasks – the present moment felt agreeable and not so overwhelming, and I was less likely to fly off the handle. In short, life became livable again and so much so that I accepted a position has a long term substitute teacher – something I never would have been able to do pre-brain training. I cannot recommend neurofeedback enough. We are so fortunate to have Pietrantone Health in Buffalo – this practice is improving lives and the health of so many in WNY, myself and my family included.”

“Before brain training, I lived in a fog. I battled disorders, heavy depression, constant anxiety, and overwhelming mental exhaustion. Academically, I struggled immensely as far back as I can remember. Retaining information was a constant uphill battle, and simple tasks felt impossible. At least once a week, I would sleep for 16 hours straight because my body and brain could barely function properly and I would shut down. Nearly every morning, it felt like I was dragging myself out of cement just to get out of bed. It wasn’t just “being tired.” It was my brain screaming for help.

As someone who had been through just about every kind of therapy, support system, and wellness treatment you could think of, I didn’t have huge expectations with brain training. I figured it would be just another appointment I’d have to go to. But it didn’t take me long to realize brain training wasn’t just another appointment, but an answer to my prayers.

Through this process, I’ve experienced healing in ways I never imagined possible. The fog lifted. My anxiety calmed. Depression no longer ruled my days. I’m now able to focus, process, and retain information like never before. I have energy—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. For the first time in my life, I don’t crash and sleep for 16 hours. For the first time in my life, I can get up early and feel good while doing so. For the first time in my life, I don’t depend on an IEP plan to barely pass school and have become an honor roll student all in my own power. For the first time in my life, I can use my emotions in positive ways instead of letting them control me. I no longer dread the day ahead—I actually look forward to it.

I can honestly say brain training has changed my life. The results have been nothing short of unbelievable. It’s not just a tool. It’s a gift—one I wish everyone struggling could experience. If you’re on the fence about trying it, let me be the one to say: Do it. You will not regret it.

To those who guided me through it—thank you for helping me find myself.”
