Introducing Erie's Leading Wellness Chiropractor

Dr. Steven D. Krauza

My name is Steven Krauza and I am a chiropractor.  I have a passion for health promotion that fuels my purpose of helping people realize their God-given potential.  Chiropractic is not a subspecialty of medicine.  It is a separate and distinct healing art that honors the body's ability to heal and self-regulate.

I am a lifelong resident of Erie.  I graduated from McDowell High School in 1996.  My undergraduate studies were at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where I graduated Cum Laude. I attended the Fountainhead of Chiropractic, Palmer College of Chiropractic from 2000 to 2003.

I earned a spot in Pi Tau Delta, a prestigious international chiropractic honor society by graduating Magna Cum Laude and completing over 4,620 classroom hours in 3 1/3 years.

Krauza Family Chiropractic opened in November 2003 in the Township of Lawrence Park.  From the start I have been involved with community groups, activities, and schools. I have served as the president of the Lawrence Park Business Group, board member of the Harborcreek Area Chamber of Commerce, Advisory Board of the Eastside YMCA among other groups. It is important for the community in which I serve to realize that I am dedicated to being a strong and loyal pillar of hope.

The office continues to evolve with the changing healthcare climate.  I am passionate about raising awareness and creating a wellness culture in our community through a chiropractic vision.  If you are in pain, strayed from your health goals, or what to achieve an ultimate state of wellness, I am here to serve you. I encourage you to call or email us at Krauza Family Chiropractic when you are ready to reclaim your life. Please "friend" me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @drkrauza.  It is time you reconnect with yourself.

Heather Hart - A Compassionate Hart Massage Therapy

Heather Hart joined the Krauza Family Chiropractic team in December of 2005 as a Certified Massage Therapist. Graduating in 2003, she started working immediately in various salons around town and at the Hamot Wellness Center. Heather brought with her a wide range of experiences and teamed up with Dr. Krauza to help bring the awareness of the benefits of Massage Therapy to clients that would benefit from it the most.

Heather's expertise in relaxation, deep tissue, neuromuscular techniques, and Reiki have allowed clients to achieve that Mind/Body connection and regain control of their lives. While living more consciously and comfortably within your body, and by being aware of its imbalances, you can take control, and live a more healthy and vitalistic life.

Heather has worked with hospice clients which has proved to be some of the most rewarding work she has ever done.

In May 2010, Heather launched her independent massage business: A Compassionate Hart Massage Therapy.  She operates her business out of Krauza Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Center.  Although her official status as an employee has changed, she remains dedicated and passionate to providing the highest quality of massage services to the people she serves.  Combining massage therapy with chiropractic is a match made in Heaven!
