Full Function continues service in new city location

Full Function Chiropractic is looking to add even more functions to its practice on West Third Street following a relocation into Williamsport earlier this spring.

That expansion of services includes offering classes on yoga, stretching and reiki therapy on a new empty second floor of the building it purchased, according to Samantha Davis, co-owner of the practice.

“We are a chiropractic office that focuses on treating sports injuries, pregnancy and pediatric stresses,” Bower said. “We do that with plans customized toward patients.”

Full Function Chiropractic, owned by Seth Bower and Samantha Davis, specializes in a tailored, variable approach to chiropractic care that focuses on individual health.

“We look at the whole person instead of the symptom and tailor our treatment to the specific patient. It’s not a one-size fits all approach,” Davis said.

Full Function moved to a new location in May and is in the process of expanding its services to include classes on the second floor of its building, as well as using the upstairs as a rentable venue.

Seth Bower founded the chiropractic in 2014 by himself in a practice in Mill Hall, before Davis joined him in 2018 in a space on Westminster Drive in Loyalsock Township.

This past year, however, the two packed their bags and moved into the new space in the old Veterans of Foreign Wars building on 1260 W. Third St. that had not been occupied in two years.

The building provided a blank slate for the two to be able to renovate and tailor the building–like their treatments to patients–to the needs of the business. The two, with the help of Bower’s father and two brothers, completely renovated the interior of the building on their own, and only relied on contractors for electrical and HVAC needs.

According to Bower, the two hung 150 sheets of drywall, laid the flooring, framed the walls, inserted the drop ceiling and even made a rustic-looking desk from pallets from October or November of 2020 to May of 2021.

Bower and Davis met at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida, where they graduated in 2010. The two have been married since 2012. They started out at the same office, then Bower left to found Full Function. In 2019, they two joined forces from a business standpoint and they have worked together since.

The office currently has a staff of two in addition to Bower and Davis.

Chiropractic care is non-invasive, hands-on healthcare that focuses on the nervous and muscular systems. It helps rectify back, neck, shoulder and hip pain, while also alleviating headaches, tingling and numbness in one’s limbs, sprains and strains and muscle spasms.

Home recovery is an important aspect that chiropractors help foster. At Full Function Chiropractic, doctors equip patients with basic “home management tools” to make recovery more efficient and decrease dependence on chiropractic care should future pain arise.

One technique Full Function Chiropractic’s doctors offer is chiropractic manipulation; where a doctor massages joints into proper, healthy movement. This, in turn, results in reduced pain, dissipated inflammation and the restoration of muscle function.

Full Function also offers “cold laser” therapy, which employs low-level light that penetrates the skin to increase circulation; decrease pain, inflammation, and swelling; accelerate tissue repair and enhance immune response.

This technique joins many such as sequential compression boots, ultrasound therapy, kinesio taping, custom orthotics, electrical stimulation and soft tissue mobilization.
