Gritty Gritty Princess

Just had my first appointment at Great Life and it was also my first time EVER at a chiropractor and the experience was better than I had imagined. For so many years, friends and family would always tell me that with my constant back and neck issues, I should consider going to a chiropractor but I was always either just too busy or too lazy! Dr. Loos was very kind and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. He didn't judge when I had mentioned my bad posture. Instead, he reassured me that I am not the only one and showed me some warm ups I can do before anything strenuous. I will definitely be returning soon as well as recommending Great Life to friends and family!

I’ve gone to Ted’s practice for several years. He is always friendly, and his office staff fits me in for an appointment as quick as possible. He excels as a healer and usually gets my lower back pain/stiffness under control in very few visits. I have recommended him to friends and loved ones in the past, and he has always helped them out. I would recommend his chiropractic expertise highly; especially for people that do physical work for a living.

Jules Gall

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Loos for chiropractic care! After several severe neck/back injuries & a decade of care in another state, I was terrified to go to a new Chiropractor after moving to Philly. I put it off as long as possible, but seeking treatment from Great Life Chiropractic was the best choice I could’ve made! Coleen is always very welcoming & makes the scheduling/payment process so easy. Ted is personable, supportive & has the tools/ ability to get me back on track every time I visit. The office feels very comfortable and homey. It is ALWAYS clean! Dr. Loos only sees patients Monday-Thursday, so make sure you plan ahead & get in early!

Lauren Sciarra

After getting whiplash from a car accident, I was treated by Dr. Ted for whiplash and pain in my neck and back. I have been a patient for a total of 6 years now and although Dr. Ted helped me with getting back to normal and eased the intense pain, I still continue to schedule adjustments and massages for regular maintenance. Dr. Ted has a very laid back approach to his practice and is so easy going and really gets to know all of his patients and you feel like a person instead of a number. I also highly recommend massage therapy in addition to regular chiropractic visits at Great Life Chiropractic to keep your body healthy and flexible. The staff has been amazing with customer service, including the massage therapist, Stephanie, and the office manager, Colleen, who always makes helps accommodate my schedule as a busy, working Mom! I would recommend Great Life Chiropractic to anyone looking for a new chiropractor or massage therapist in the area especially if you want an stress-free experience where you actually feel results on each visit! I always walk out feeling like I’m walking on clouds!

Judi Palmer

I have been to several chiropractors in the area and none compare to Great Life. Dr. Ted will take care of you with his magic hands and friendly demeanor. It is a laid back atmosphere where you will feel immediately comfortable and welcomed. You will not be disappointed with how you feel when you leave. The massage therapists they have are wonderful as well! Give them a try!

Kristin O'Connor

I can't say enough good things about Great Life Chiropractic - for both chiropractic and massage. I've been going to Dr. Ted for years now — he first came highly recommended by a co-worker and friend of mine. Most recently, however, I was experiencing raging sciatica associated with a bulging disc in my lower back. I was limping, I was in pain, I was miserable and I was desperate for relief. After the first adjustment I felt relief, the second, more relief, and after the third I was walking without a limp and the pain was down to more than a manageable annoyance. It was exactly what I needed to get me back on track. Dr. Ted cares, he listens and treats each issue and person in a very unique way. And as far as the team of massage therapists at Great Life, they are also top notch - literally the best massages around — each therapist is extremely knowledgable and caring. You're absolutely in great hands with Great Life Chiropractic!

Lindsey Offner

I've been to many chiropractors before, but none have helped me like Dr. Ted! He takes the time to get to know you and your problem areas. My back immediately felt better after my first visit, and I have been back many times since. The staff is so nice and friendly and Dr. Ted makes you laugh the whole time! I would recommend him to anyone, he's the best!

Victoria Ward

Dr. Ted is amazing! I started seeing him a few years ago for postpartum lower back pain. He's so good that I kept seeing him throughout my latest pregnancy, and my postpartum back pain was largely mitigated this time around thanks to Dr. Ted's regimen. He's a genuine guy who cares about his clients. Have to give a shout out to Colleen who makes scheduling a breeze and always makes for great lobby chat. Love this crew.

Casey Heilig

I've been seeing chiropractors for 15 years. Ted's background in personal training sets him apart from the rest. He gives great adjustments, but he also focuses on easing your pain by showing you ways to increase your physical strength, which will give you the long lasting results you're looking for. Don't be intimidated - the exercises are always simple and no gym/equipment is required. It's just a nice aspect of his approach, so when you're feeling pain and maybe don't have time to get to his office, you're able to address it yourself. I'd highly recommend him.

Tara Finder

I have been going to Dr. Ted for the past month. Before my first visit, I was in INTENSE pain do to shoulder/neck issues. I sit all day at a desk and these issues were intensified by my repetitive position all day. Dr. Ted is hands down the best chiropractor in the area ( and I have been to a few). He was genuinely interested in helping me not remain in pain. After doing some muscle stimulation and doing an adjustment on my first visit, Ted also showed me stretches that would help me at home. On a scale of 1-10 (10 highest) my pain was an 8 or 9... now 2 or 3... much better! I am so glad I found this place - my neck and shoulders are TOO! :)

matthew curtin

After suffering from lower back pain for several years I finally decided to try a chiropractor. Dr. Ted was recommended to me by several people and his reputation was will deserved. Any apprehension I had in those early visits was put to ease by Ted's ability to talk me through the process. It was definitely the best decision I made for my back issues.

Colleen Bracken

I've been under Dr. Ted's care for 5 years now, and I rely on him completely to keep my middle-aged body healthy and strong. I've been to many chiropractors, shopping for someone who is skilled, knowledgeable, and not weird! (I find a lot of chiropractors to be sort of odd. Anyone else?) He and his staff are the perfect combination of professional but also warm and personable.

Prakash Radhakrishnan

I had visited Great Life Chiropractic for the treatment of my unendurable Shoulder pain. Moment after my first session with Dr. Ted loos, i realized i had picked the right and the best place. Earlier i used to wake up with lot of pain in middle of my sleep and also stopped going to gym. But now i am feeling much better and in fact i am back to the gym again. My shoulder feels great !! Highly recommend Dr.Ted loos and Great Life Chiro!!

Maggie Guterl

Where do I begin? Dr. Ted has worked miracles for me. When I first came to him I had a horrible back injury from weightlifting. I could barely stand without pain, let alone run. Ten days later I ran the marathon I had planned in Florida, pain free and fast! Since then I have come to him with ankle and foot issues. These popped up conveniently before a 100 miler and I ended up running that pain free as well and ran a personal record at the time. Being an accomplished athlete himself, Ted understands the importance of being able to perform at your best. Ultra running is hard on the body which is why I now go to Dr. Ted regularly. He never tells me I'm crazy and not to do what I love. I also see two of his massage therapists regularly. I searched high and low for a good massage and once I found Niva and Kris my searched stopped. The listen to me and what I want and they really know their stuff. Plus it is so affordable. In my opinion you would be nuts not to go Great Life Chiropractic and see Dr. Ted, especially if you are an endurance athlete. Insider Tip: When you do go, check out the Wall of Fame. That could be you one day ;)

Andrea Griffith

I went to see Dr. Ted after having chronic hip and neck pain that came as a result of training. I was training for my first Ironman and other endurance events, and a friend recommended Ted as a great chiropractor for athletes. Ted helped me work through my injuries and get rid of my pain. Ted is great at understanding injuries/aches and pains that come as a result of training, and continues to help me make adjustments as needed as I train for my races. I highly recommend Ted as a chiropractor, especially for any athlete looking to correct issues and increase the level they hope to compete at.

Deborah DiPinto

Always a refresh!! Professional and personable!! An important part of my wellness routine now for 10 + years. A wise decision to visit Dr Ted @ Great Life Chiropractic.

Steven Giordano

Dr. Ted is an excellent chiropractor. Everything about Great Life's office experience is customer-friendly. Dr. Ted's active lifestyle makes you feel comfortable that he understands and can relate to any sports-related issues that you are experiencing.

Adrienne Mauro

Dr. Ted was recommended to me by several of my friends and now I understand why. He has taken the time to understand my level of activity and to really help me work toward my goals. He has gone above and beyond to help me feel my best. I also think it's pretty amazing that the most he charges per session is $45. My copay through my insurance is $50 and he still only charged me $50. Dr. Ted really believes in what he's doing, loves it, and wants to share the benefits with everyone.

pat beck

Been seeing Dr. Loos for awhile now. When I was diagnosed with Runners Knee, I quickly made an appointment. Not only Dr. Loos adjust my knee and set it back right but he showed me exercises to help with running. Great Life will keep you active, not side lined.

Timothy Gill

Fabulous experience. Ted really knows what he is doing and he cares about why you're there. I am training for triathlons, so not only did I get an adjustment that made me feel back to normal, but we talked about training plans and specific strength, stretching routines to help out. I always feel great after a session and have been impressed by the excellent work of the entire staff.

Krista Michalowski

If it weren't for Ted and the amazing staff at Great Life Chiropractic my marathon training would have stopped before it really began. I began training for the Philadelphia Marathon a 3 months after having my first child. I ran for fun, did yoga and did spinning prior to having my son so I didn't think it would be that hard to get back into it. I learned pretty quickly I would need some help. Throughout my training, Ted, and the most amazing massage therapist, Niva, helped me with SI pain, IT pain, and a seriously painful pulled back/right shoulder trigger point issue. Never once did he make me feel like I should quit, in fact he encouraged me in my marathon training, and kept me healthy and safe at the same time. His stretches and instructions were easy to stick to on my own, he followed up with me for updates throughout training, and he saw me this week (the week of the marathon) on his own time to show me how to tape my leg for race day. His appointments always ran on schedule, his staff was professional, fun and make you comfortable during visits. Without them, this Sunday's marathon, my FIRST marathon, would not be happening and I could not be more grateful.

David Pickles

I was involved in a rear-end auto collision and experienced back soreness and stiffness as a result. I've been to Great Life Chiropractic two times in the past 6 weeks and I should've gone sooner. First time to a chiropractor and Niva was the staff member who worked on my upper back and neck area. The first visit identified multiple trouble spots and the techniques used to release the tightness were effective. Went in for a followup and was pleased with the result. I have regained flexibility in my neck and back area. My wife recommended this place to me and I endorse Great Life too.

Gary Brown

I've been going to Great life for years now. I not only value the work Ted does but also his perspective on getting better. As someone who has been a competitor in one of the toughest sports on the planet he has experienced alot of the injuries he sees. And don't get me started on the office atmosphere. This practice is top notch and I cant say enough good things about all the folks at Great Life!

Lauren Counterman

Everyone at Great Life will make your day instantly better! I have been a patient at Great Life for 2+ years. Dr. Ted and his staff have helped me through the ringer of a chronic injury and have helped me be a stronger, healthier athlete. From the time you walk in the door to Colleen’s smiling face, to easing muscle aches and tensions with Niva or Aleyah’s massages, to Dr. Ted’s thorough time to understand you and your body’s needs, to the actual adjustments needed for the day, there is no doubt you will be well taken care of here! And they have evening hours so you do not have to worry about rushing home from work!

Susan Flynn

You are in good hands with Dr. Ted. He takes his time to learn about you and what brought you to him. He is an accomplished athlete with deep knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and his athlete's goals. Patients are provided with targeted exercises to improve strength and flexibility in between adjustments. For a real treat, book a massage before your appointment with Dr. Ted!

kareem adham

Over the course of my military career, I developed a lower back problem. One morning, I woke up and could hardly stand. I went to Google trying to find some help. I found Great Life Chiropractor and took a chance. I mean I really needed help. The receptionist gave me emergency appointment. When I came in I could barely stand. When I left, I could walk again. The doctor is amazing, I absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of care. The staff us very courteous and he is a magician.

Rachael Balascak

Great Life is amazing. I primarily get massages by Steph (who is the best) but I threw neck out one morning and Dr. Ted scheduled me within hours and helped me tremendously. Excellent customer service by Colleen who always knows when I need to schedule. Oh and I love that you can schedule via MindBody app or even by text! Couldn’t recommend more.

José Centurión

I am a LMT student and I have a BS in Exercise Science. Dr. Ted Loos is an amazing Chiropractor. He doesn't attempt to sell you on a X-amount of weeks treatment package (since you can't guarantee such treatment results anyway). He knows his stuff and with his size/frame and mechanics he has the strength/ability to work on every size and shape. Stop reading this review and GO SEE THE MAN!

Nick Vertlieb

Dr Ted has gotten me from sitting on my couch, with constant pain in my back and neck, feeling sorry for myself, to becoming a pain-free 2x marathoner. Dr. Ted has relieved me of my pain and given me that push and motivation. I highly recommend him to other Veterans and first responders.

Sue Stolzer Haswell

I went to Dr. Loos for some neck and shoulder pain. Not only did he help alleviate the pain, he also taught me how to manage my pain through stretching and exercise. My visits are few and far between now as a result of the great care I received from Dr. Loos and his Massage Therapists. Follow Up: I have been seeing the Massage Therapist(s) and Dr. Loos regularly for the past 3 months and I have seen tremendous results. I am now back in the training mode after taking quite a few months due to muscle and back pain. Thanks!

Alyssa Cogill

I went to Ted during pregnancy to help relieve lower back/sciatica pain. Weekly visits allowed me to maintain my workout routine during pregnancy. I recommend him to local moms-to-be because I think chiropractic care is very helpful during pregnancy.

beth blei

If I could give these guys 6 stars I would! All of the staff members are friendly and courteous. Dr. Ted helped treat my painful plantar factitious and completely alleviated pain I was having in my shoulder. The massage therapists are second to none! I always leave their office feeling better!

Colleen Joy Hall

I get adjusted regularly, about twice a month, and I noticed a lot of changes in my daily activities. I think a lot of it has to do with improved sleep, as I don't toss and turn trying to get comfortable in bed. I've had a couple massage appointments with Niva as well, who is quite possibly heaven sent. She's successfully worked out the knot that was under my left shoulder for about 2 years.

Beth Eisenberg

Dr Loos has quite literally changed my life. I have had lower back pain for years with minor bouts of relief from a combination of inconsistent solutions. It was not until I was about a month from a 10 mile run to run with the inability to stand upright that I was recommended Dr Loos. The referral came from an ultra-marathoner who also swore by him. After three sessions I was not only in relief but felt stronger than ever, sat upright for the first time with no pain in about 6 months. My race went well and I recovered in HALF THE TIME! I absolutely hold Dr Loos accountable for that as my body. back, IT bands, hams and quads were all very much adjusted for the race. I run, bike, swim, tri-train, play basketball and strength train. Dr. Loos is now a part of my training program. If you have back pain of any kind, or you are in any kind of race training regimen I highly recommend Dr Loos. Regular chiropractic is ideal for overall health and I have never found a better doctor in all my days. Fantastic office environment to boot!

Joshua Balascak

I've gone for 2 massages at Great Life. It's a clean, comfortable, and safe space to get a massage. The upstairs room is very relaxing and both masseuses were great. They asked a lot of questions on what areas i'd like to focus on. I've had a major knee injury and they catered the massage to work my legs while being careful not to overdo it. A+

Rhonda Cohen

Dr. Ted and Great Life Chiropractic is fantastic. Not only have I gone there for years, I brought my son to Dr.Ted as he was suffering from a bad case of Tuba Shoulder. That's right! Months of marching in the University of Pittsburgh Marching Band with the sousaphone caused much pain. Thanks Dr. Ted for fixing our family.

RunningMom

I went to Dr. Ted when I threw my back out. I limped in there virtually in tears. His demeanor was so reassuring and calm I knew I was in good hands. He worked on me over several sessions and the pain was gone. When I started running I went back to get treated for tendonitis and piriformis syndrome. He hooked me right up and I was back to my training in no time. The dude works miracles. I always know where to go when I need a quick tune up. Also, he's just an all around cool guy. Dr. Ted is the man!!

Jamie McMenamin

Dr. Loos is exceptional! Firstly, everyone in the office is friendly, helpful & caring. Dr. Loos is an expert. He has helped me for a few years now & done everything from adjustments to helping me deal with and treat a severe herniated disk. I am an athlete, and it is great to know he will always be there when pain comes up, but there is never pressure to have consistent treatment when things are going well. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!

Val Bergman

Dr. Ted has helped me get through many triathlons and marathons. He is a caring guy and develops a program that is manageable with a busy schedule! I recommend him highly!!

Chad Hoover

I can't say enough about Dr. Ted!! I have a very physically demanding job. Ted keeps me on the job rather than at home on the couch. The massage therapists are also very knowledgeable and professional as well.

Seth Grasso

Excellent. I had a consistent headache for 2 months among other symptoms. After several blood tests and no results I visited Dr. Loo. After the first visit I felt 70% better. By the next week after the 2nd visit I felt 90% better. The headaches are practically gone and I am back in the gym. The Doctors I was seeing for the blood tests were amazed by the turn around I made in just 2 weeks after feeling terrible for 2 months. Great chiropractor.

Joseph Smogard

Dr. Ted is fantastic. I needed weekly treatment for my back pain and now only need a monthly check up to maintain my issue back and rib issues. He has improved my health and quality of life.

Jeremy Deiter

Dr Ted and Stephanie are absolutely amazing. They take the time to know you and know your body in order to give you the best treatment possible! As a runnner and crossfitter, I appreciate their experience with athletes and in sports themselve.

Tyesha McCottry

Dr. Ted and his staff are awesome. The staff is professional and courteous. The massage therapist did an excellent job and made me feel comfortable.

Scott O'Brien

I'm a little afraid of Dr. T. He's so strong he could crush me if I said the wrong thing to him :) With that said, he's so tuned into any muscle, tendon or ligament tightness, or any misalignment, that I immediately felt at ease with him. He can be as gentle or as firm as you need. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Either way you will get relief.

anne mitchell

I am a personal trainer, spin director and compete duathlons at the national and world level. Dr Ted listens and knows what to do when and how each visit to improve and promote my athletic wellness - his staff and he are like family - cheers "Annie"

Charlie Darney

As fellow a fellow triathlete, Dr Ted knows how to help because he has the same pain points. Helped me adjust to my new bike fit and I haven't looked back since

Ryan Yurewicz

very detailed approach. You can tell he cares about his patients and takes an interest in their lives. Also best my back has felt in years.

Sarthi Dalal

Dr. Ted is awesome, listens to your concerns and targets his therapy with appropriate but firm pressure.

Dianne D.

I was not getting any relief for my neck pain until Dr. Loos treated me. I also enjoyed the friendly staff.

Robert Caruso

Best is the city, feel great every time, total pro, great staff......not a half bad rugby player, heard he played for Life University
