Looking to lose weight?

Gerber Family Chiropractic & Wellness Center, based in Queensbury, has opened a new office on Church Street in Saratoga Springs.

Dr. Jonathan Gerber said the second office was opened in response to interest from patients and would-be patients in Saratoga and to the south.

“The need for wellness is overwhelming beyond belief,” Gerber told me when we chatted on Tuesday.

The center’s wellness and weight-loss program, called LiveWell ADK, promotes health from all angles, Gerber said, addressing nutrition, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux and diabetes.

Treatment methods include chiropractics, aqua detox, massage and the LiveWell protein diet.

“We do make people thinner, but we have all these exciting (things) happening in our office as well,” Gerber said.

In addition to weight loss, one of the main goals of the program is to wean people off their medicines.

Between the two locations, LiveWell ADK serves hundreds of patients and takes referrals from primary care physicians, Gerber said.

As a measure of the program’s success, he cited the total amount of fat his clients have lost to date — 40,000 pounds.

The office is located 78 Church St. across from Blue Sky Bicycles.
