It is amazing to me how well I feel after getting adjustments. Dr. Stern is just amazing at what he does, but what stands out the most was when I was having some ringing in my ear that was very annoying and uncomfortable after a trip to my primary care doctor and was told "it will eventually go away", I saw Dr. Stern the next day and after getting adjusted the ringing in my ear disappeared less than 24 hours later! Talk about a very happy woman! :) My son is hockey player and with regular adjustments he is at

Dr. Stern's care for our son was extremely helpful with our son who is a high level competitive gymnast. Practicing 4 hours a day, 6 days a week puts a lot of stress on his body and we feel Dr. Sterns care was instrumental in keeping him in top form throughout a grueling season. Nagging complaints can turn into serious injuries, and we felt our visits to Dr. Sterns were a great proactive approach to keeping our son healthy and maximizing his level of performance.

I originally came to Dr. Stern after a back injury really limited my mobility and had me in constant pain. Through regular visits my back improved and my mobility and overall health/flexibility also.

He is able to give me suggestions for stretching or recommend articles related to issues that come up. I continue with maintenance chiropractic and feel that this has really contributed in a boost to my general health and well being. My daughter is a competitive ice skater and also

Today I am fortunate to say that I have been pain free for a year. I see Dr. Stern on a regular 3-week interval to keep my body and life in balance.

I first began to experience lower back pain in 1989 when I hurt my back lifting weights. I felt both numbness and tingling in my legs. It hurt to stand up and it hurt to sit down. I started seeing a chiropractor shortly after that and my back felt much better after a short amount of time. I have maintained chiropractic care ever since as a sort of preventative measure. I moved to Buffalo Grove in 1999 and out of loyalty traveled to the south suburbs for chiropractic care until that office closed down. After that I was referred to

I am a 23 year old female. I worked at a fairly physical job until Elisabeth JohnsonDecember of 2003, when I tore the cartilage behind my right kneecap.

My physical therapist suggested to me that I try acupuncture as a means of lessening my, more or less, constant pain. I researched online to find an acupuncturist in my area, and chose to contact Dr. Stern for my acupuncture needs.

I have noticed several benefits of chiropractic care throughout my treatment, which began about 4 months ago. The reason I first came in was because I pulled my back playing volleyball. I had considered coming before that because of the good things my wife had to say about it, but unfortunately the injury happened before I started coming. The first stage of my care was to heal the back injury. This method appealed to me because it is the body’s natural way of healing as opposed to taking drugs. During this stage of treatment, my back gradually became better and

Here is a little comparison we made last year: 8 months 15 trips to the emergency room 3 surgeries 4 teams of doctors 65 pounds $130,000 in medical bills VS 1 Chiropractor Yes, that is what we compared last year before we found our answer. And as you may guess, our answer was the 1 chiropractor, Dr. Gregg Stern. Here is our story. It began on Valentine’s Day, 2005. After what seems like a rather uneventful day, I started feeling a bit nauseous and by the middle of the night, I was in the emergency room, dehydrated from hours of

Dr. Stern, Just wanted to update you. We got really good news that our tests were positive. I will still have to go back to FCI next week for additional tests but I will contact you about appointments. as soon as everything is confirmed and looks good. I honestly believe that my appointments with you have had a significant positive impact on this round of IVF. Everything at the transfer went so smoothly this time and it never has before. I think the fact that most of the tension in that area has been treated was a large contributing factor.

Having experienced severe sciatica and extreme muscle tension in my shoulders for a number of years, I was having trouble finding treatment that really helped. Having met Dr. Stern at a networking meeting, I thought I would try yet another option for treatment. However, this time I’d actually found more than a temporary “fix.” Relief was immediate — and longer lasting than I’d ever experienced. In addition to Dr. Stern’s adjustments and some suggestions for exercises I could do on my own, the deep tissue and trigger point treatments provided with the therapeutic massages provided by Eugene, Dr. Stern’s massage

I just wanted to let you know what I heard on a recent news report. The news report stated that the consumption of Fish Oils dramatically reduced the chances of asthma attacks of asthmatics. Just an interesting point since my son has not had an asthma attack since early March. Thank you for putting my son on fish oils.

Oh my gosh, it was the CUTEST thing! Erica and Lainie couldn’t stop talking about you on the way home.  Erica was so impressed with your article she wanted to show her dad.  She said she wants to be as smart as you when she grows up and Lainie wants to be a chiropractor!  She said because you can help people be healthy without having to open them up!  She also told my husband that we’ve been poisoning her, all these years with stupid vaccinations.

Lainie says her periods are soooooo much lighter since going to the chiropractor!!!!  I’ve heard of this happening, but didn’t believe it could be true.
