When massage therapist, Sue Ashton, and her husband, Dr. Andrew Ashton, a chiropractor, purchased A Therapeutic Effect in 2007, they had no idea how quickly their vision for becoming the premier wellness center in the greater Lancaster area would be realized. Within a year of revamping A Therapeutic Effect's services to focus on wellness, they acquired another local business with similar services.

I'm always happy to recommend Dr Andrew to my friends, family and clients. His adjustments have helped my body handle the demands of a physically demanding profession. His staff are professional and hard working.

Great Service in a pleasant atmosphere. I saw Dr Andrew for chiropractic care during my third trimester and had an easier than expected birth.

The staff here were very nice and professional. I was able to get an appointment with a short notice. Everything is thoroughly explained without any trace of doubt and concern. I'd most definitely come back if I get another chance to.

My husband and I had our first couples massage at A Therapeutic Effect and we had a wonderful time. The massage therapists really knew what they were doing and made us feel very comfortable.

I had several massages at ATE. The treatment rooms are very peaceful, clean and relaxing. The therapists were professional and tailored the treatment to my areas of concern. I am a repeat customer because I truly enjoy everything about ATE.

Love the staff and work they do for an ailing body. Always feel better after visiting them either for a massage or a chiropractic appointment. I've recommended them to several friends and family members and will continue to do so. Not to mention their student discount is significant and allows me to come back often.
