The Laurel Health Centers are excited to announce local chiropractor Dr. Sarah Taylor has joined the Laurel Health team to expand chiropractic services in Tioga County’s valley area. She sees patients Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Elkland Laurel Health Center on 103 Forestview Drive and sees patients Mondays and Wednesdays at the Mansfield Laurel Health Center on 416 S Main Street.
Dr. Taylor specializes in helping patients manage chronic pain, improve mobility, recover from injury, and maintain their joint health. She is currently accepting new patients of all ages; no referral is needed.
As a Troy native, she is passionate about giving back to and practicing in the same rural communities that supported her growing up and credits her own battle with injuries for drawing her to healthcare.
Dr. Taylor was an active athlete throughout school, and like other young athletes, she experienced many of the common movement injuries chiropractic care seeks to address and prevent.
Her firsthand experience with overcoming injury not only helps her better diagnose and treat injuries, but also helps her fully empathize with what her patients are going through. “I think it means a lot to patients to know their provider has been through this, too—that I’ve been through the same struggles, understand what they’re going through, and that I’m here beside them to help solve it,” adds Dr. Taylor.
Dr. Taylor received her Bachelor of Science in kinesiology from Penn State University in State College, PA and her Doctor of Chiropractic degree (DC) from New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN A CHIROPRACTOR TREAT?
Chiropractors can treat a wide variety of back, neck, muscle, and joint problems, including:
- Chronic pain (back, neck, muscle, joint, and nerve pain)
- Sciatica and fibromyalgia
- Headaches / migraines
- Tingling, numb, or painful extremities
- Inflammation
- Range of motion, posture, and mobility issues
- Carpal tunnel
- Sports or repetitive motion injuries like golfer or tennis elbow
Treatment is customized based on each patient’s personal needs, health, and comfort level.
Backed by science and carefully tailored to each person, Laurel Health’s chiropractic services include a wide variety of therapies appropriate for patients of all ages, including traditional manipulation and non-manual adjustment using innovative equipment like the Sigma Adjuster.
The Sigma Adjuster is ideal for patients who are nervous about undergoing traditional manual adjustments or those who are unable to seek traditional chiropractic care like infants, seniors, and back surgery patients. This pioneering machine measures complex biofeedback and uses this data to precisely calculate and apply the exact pressure needed to painlessly and non-invasively realign skeletal joints.

CONCERNED ABOUT SEEKING CARE DURING COVID-19?
Patient and staff safety, high-quality care, and patient satisfaction are always Laurel Health’s highest priorities, and the centers have been working hard to get patients back to needed services safely.
Some of the many ways Laurel Health is committed to keeping patients safe during their visit include thorough symptom checks, pre-registration to eliminate onsite check-in, rigorous cleaning and disinfecting processes, facility entrance screenings, masking all staff and patients, a parking lot waiting room model where patients wait in their own vehicles then are directly escorted to the exam room, offering telemedicine appointments when appropriate, social distancing, and ongoing patient education.
The Laurel Health Centers are committed to making sure all patients receive the care they need safely—whether that’s acute care, preventive screenings, vaccines, follow-up care, or wellness checks. We’re here for you. Always.
