Hi, I am Dr. Alex Swauger. Growing up in Waynesburg, PA, I have always enjoyed playing sports including baseball, basketball, golf, and skiing. I went on to play baseball at Fairmont State University, where I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science. From there, I attended chiropractic school at Life University outside Atlanta, GA. Growing up struggling with autoimmune disease, I have found hope and healing by living out a chiropractic lifestyle that includes incorporating the 5 essentials. I live in Brookline and am excited to start my chiropractic career here in the South Hills! In my free time I enjoy working out, cooking healthy meals, and spending time with my family who lives in the area, including my two beautiful nieces.

Jena and Dr Alex's mission has been to transform the community's health through Chiropractic. After gaining hands-on experience in MaxLiving offices in Denver and Chicago, she and Dr. Alex opened their own MaxLiving Clinic in 2011. Since then, Jena has passionately served the Pittsburgh region, exemplifying true health and healing by delivering the 5 Essentials. When she is not working with MaxLiving Corporate as a Regional Manager and running City of Bridges Chiropractic, she is in her favorite role as mom to her four children, who give her the reason to keep spreading the message of what true health is.

Working behind the scenes at City of Bridges Chiropractic, Megan helps keep the practice running smoothly while supporting the team’s mission to make the South Hills healthier, one adjustment at a time. She loves being part of the COBC family, whose unmatched passion and commitment to patient care inspires her every day.

When she’s not at the office, Megan enjoys spending time with her husband, two adventurous daughters, and extended family and friends. She has a soft spot for scary movies, playing games, and exploring Pittsburgh’s amazing local restaurants.

Hi, I’m Shannon. I grew up in little Washington, PA playing softball avidly during my grade school years and enjoying life with my family and friends. After high school I went on to work as a caregiver for an aging services, then earned my CNA certification. I have a son whose smile lights up my darkest room and is medically compromised. Upon learning his diagnosis of epilepsy and autoimmune disease, I knew in my heart that implementing a natural living and healing lifestyle was what I needed to do for him. I live in the Pleasant Hills area, and I am very excited to plant my roots with the City Of Bridges Chiropractic family.
