Our Philosophy

Conservative care
that actually works.

We believe most musculoskeletal problems can be resolved without drugs or surgery. Our goal is simple: get you out of pain quickly, keep you out of pain for good, and do it in a way that fits your life. No unnecessary visits, no upsells — just honest, personalised chiropractic care.

What We Treat

Relief for the pain
holding you back

From sudden injury to chronic discomfort, Dr. Costello and Dr. Scott have helped Erie patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Lower Back Pain

Disc issues, muscle strain, sciatica, and postural imbalances — the most common reason patients see Dr. Costello.

Neck Pain

Cervical stiffness, tech neck, whiplash injuries, and tension headaches originating at the cervical spine.

Hip Pain

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, hip flexor tightness, and referred pain from lumbar misalignments.

Muscle & Joint Pain

Shoulder tension, mid-back stiffness, and joint restrictions that limit your daily movement and comfort.

Sciatica

Shooting pain, numbness, or tingling from the lower back down the leg — often responding well to conservative adjustments.

Sports & Work Injuries

Acute strains from athletic activity or repetitive workplace stress — treated with targeted spinal and soft-tissue therapy.

Our Approach

Hands-on care,
properly done

Every treatment plan is built around you — your history, your goals, and your pace. No two patients leave with the same protocol.

Spinal manipulation technique

Core Treatment

Spinal Manipulation

The cornerstone of chiropractic care — precise, controlled adjustments to restore proper joint mechanics, reduce nerve irritation, and relieve pain. Dr. Costello has performed thousands of adjustments over three decades, reading each patient's spine individually.

Manual manipulation is combined with evaluation of your posture, gait, and movement patterns to address root causes, not just symptoms.

Chiropractic therapy treatment

Supportive Care

Therapeutic Modalities

Adjustments are often complemented by supporting therapies to reduce inflammation, relax surrounding soft tissue, and accelerate recovery — tailored to your specific presentation and goals.

The aim is always to use the minimum effective intervention: enough to get you better, never more than necessary.

“Get you out of pain quickly, conservatively, and without unnecessary surgery.”

— The mission at Costello Chiropractic, since the early 1990s

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed. You can call us directly at (814) 835-9020 and schedule an appointment as a new patient without a physician referral.
Will chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable and often feel immediate relief. Some experience mild soreness the following day — similar to after a workout — which typically resolves within 24 hours.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition, history, and response to care. After your first evaluation, Dr. Costello or Dr. Scott will give you a realistic estimate. We don’t push unnecessary visits.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care?
We accept most major plans including Medicare, UPMC, Blue Shield, Aetna, Humana, and more. Call us before your visit so we can verify your specific coverage and co-pay.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your insurance card and a photo ID. If you have recent X-rays or MRI reports related to your condition, those are helpful but not required — we can arrange imaging if needed.
Do you offer same-week appointments?
Yes — we try to accommodate new patients as quickly as possible. Call (814) 835-9020 and we’ll do our best to find you a same-week slot.
