I have been coming here for the past 2 months and what a difference I have felt. Dr. Edginton is great. On top of being very friendly and never feeling rushed....it makes for a great experience at the American Back Center. Definitely A+ service. read more

Fantastic visit today with Dr Edginton. Have been to a number of chiropractors and naprapaths over the years and one of my sons is a chiropractor in another state but Dr Edginton is the best in the field. read more

They're super patient and nice to help me release the pressure from study and that really matter!

I sought chiropractic treatment for about 3 months at American Back Center after I was injured in a car accident. During that time, I received various services including spinal adjustments, spinal manipulations, electrical stimulation therapy, and massage therapy. I am glad I made the decision to go to American Back Center after my car accident. My condition significantly improved thanks to the treatments I received from Dr. Chris Edginton, Dr. Andrea Medina and American Back Center's massage therapist Stella Mayer. The doctors of American Back Center crafted a customized plan to treat my car accident injuries. Dr. E. and Dr. M. factored in the events that occurred in my life before they saw me at my appointments. I felt personally cared for as a patient at American Back Center. I never felt like another number in their medical-files. One of my favorite aspects of American Back Center is that it provides patients with supplementary PT and massage therapy. I received massage therapy from Stella. I was amazed by the sustainability of my benefits. My benefits were maintained after my massage therapy sessions were over. You could also maintain the benefits Stella gives to you after you walk out of American Back Center! American Back Center is staffed with great secretaries. I was impressed with how quickly Adrianna scheduled my appointments and sent reminders to my e-mail address! I plan to continue meeting with Dr. E, Dr. M and Stella at American Back Center to maintain the progress I made after my car accident. I strongly recommend American Back Center to every injured person that suffers from pain. read more

Came to the American Back Center because my back hurts and the things I did before didn't work. Everyone was professional and friendly. I'm excited to work with these people because it's not the same old treatment with the same old results. I was given an exam the doctor talked to me and explained my condition. Nothing rushed first visit np pressure just homework. I will fill you in later if indeed it's working for me. read more

I have nothing but praise for the Rosenthal Clinic. I first visited nearly ten years ago due to a back injury/disc problem. While I was unable to go through their revolutionary Vax-D treatment, the chiropractor was able to manually put the disc back in place, and to this day I have no disc back pain! Other doctors recomennded surgery ... these folks are great! With regard to their testing and diet recommendations - I, too, was a nonbeliever. I've come to learn that much of what we eat, from processed foods to plain old wheat, is really bad for many of us. By following the (sometimes rigid) diet protocols I have come to live a happier and healthier life. I will say that their billing system is pretty fraught with errors. You'll have to audit your bills, but isn't that the standard these days with all health care providers? If you have ANY health issues, it's worth a visit to their wellness clinic. You might be amazed at what you learn. read more

I have felt comfortable in this office since my very first visit. The staff takes a really caring approach to chiropractic care. Their focus is on holistic and nutritious methods. I seem to learn something new each time I walk through their doors. Dr. Gomez is a particularly warm chiropractor. She pays close attention to ensure she understands all of your pain issues before each treatment. I feel safe in her hands which is important because my back and neck might come in handy down the road, so I want to take good care of them. This clinic even organizes fun events for it's clients. I have enjoyed complimentary services on several occasions and I think that's pretty cool! read more

A small, yet full service office that accommodates a wide array of needs in a holistic way. It's health care with a personal touch! I followed Dr. Chris to this new location which happens to be near my job. Bonus for me. I've also done massages, nutrition counseling and physical therapy. All excellent experiences. AND, the best of all, they schedule well. No waiting!!!!!! read more

When I injured my back this summer the pain was so intense that I almost checked into the emergency room. I couldn't sleep, was popping pain pills every two hours for days, called in sick to work (almost considered short term leave) and couldn't complete basic tasks like tying my shoes, brushing my teeth or even sleeping in my preferred position. I called my general physician and he told me he didn't know enough about back issues to provide me with a proper diagnosis. I researched through my insurance company's website and couldn't find any back specialists. As a last resort I went to Yelp and thankfully I did because I came upon The American Back Center. I had never been to a chiropractor before because I never experienced back pain so I wasn't sure what to expect. From the second I called to make an appointment I was put at ease by the professionalism and warmness of the receptionist. She scheduled a consultation for me to visit with Dr. Chris and they made time for me right away. Dr. Chris was extremely professional, knowledgeable, funny and helped me FULLY understand exactly what was happening and what his recommendations were for a plan. My MRI showed that I had a herniated disc (disc bulging) which freaked me out because I didn't know what this meant in terms of recovery. Dr. Chris was there again with his staff to ease my anxiety and lay out a comprehensive plan that involved light physical therapy and Vax-D treatments. Almost all of the staff that work there have experienced severe back problems at some point in their life so they are the first to share their experiences and are walking examples that the treatment works. After several weeks of working with the recommended treatments I can proudly say that I'm healed!!! ;-) I couldn't be happier and never thought I would heal as quickly as I did from a major back issue. If you have back pain and think you've tried everything, you haven't tried The American Back Center!!! You won't regret it. Thank you Dr. Chris and staff! read more

I started going to Dr. Calderello shortly after moving to Chicago in 2001, and I have always been very happy with her as my chiropractor. She honestly cares for her patients, and has always done great by me. There's a lot of "pushing" by the other staff to purchase other services, which I find rather bothersome, so that costs them a star as a clinic, but Dr. C gets 5 for herself :) read more

I've been getting regular adjustments from Dr. Chris for nearly a year and he's been a life saver! I've always had issues with my back and his adjustments are imperative for keeping me healthy. I tried several other chiropractors in Chicago before I found him--no one else was able to provide the kind of care I needed. If you're considering working with a chiropractor or are thinking about finding a better fit, you should definitely consider Dr. Chris! read more

If you're looking for a health professional to get you out of pain long term, you are in the right place. Dr. Chris will provide you with his expertise to assist you in getting out of pain and teach you how to live a pain-free life style. From somebody who has been on the roller coast of low back pain from a herniated disk for 3 lingering years, Dr. Chris showed me a way that no other doctors have before, which helped tremendously. I have also worked with Nicole, the licensed acupuncturist on site for quite some time who is also a book of knowledge. These two professionals combined have made a huge impact on my life, getting me out of pain and getting me back to doing things I enjoy doing, the right way. read more

I've been wanting to go back to a chiropractor ever since getting bad backaches. I came here on a recommendation from a coworker. Bonus points off the bat for the fantastic location: the floor below where I work! Dr. Chris is great. He's very friendly and immediately puts his patients at ease. I've been going to him about 3x a week and already have felt the results. I have not had any back pains and I feel a lot healthier and more energetic. Having my back cracked and massaged has been the best way to start my morning. read more

I got back ache about a year, it was keep bothering me but I didn't know what really caused it and how to deal with it. Tried back strap but it just released the pain a little bit when I wore it, it didn't get my situation better. The first time I went to the clinic, Chris was very patient and guided me to walk thru all what I did, and explained to me very clearly why the back pain happened. He drafted a plan for me, and it worked out really fast, after the first week, I can already feel the reduce of the pain, and by end of the 4th week, I almost barely feel the pain. Scheduling was also great, always on time, finished quick on every session, but still very kind talk, and what's most important is, it worked! I don't need to wear the back strap (nor does Chris recommend it), and I barely feel the pain. Probably after the 4 weeks intense cure, still will need some maintenance, but for sure I will follow Chris's instruction. Highly recommended for everyone who's experiencing back numb and back pain. read more

I originally started coming to American Back Center for nutrition assistance with Danielle. This experience was enjoyable and proved life changing. She provided constant guidance and helped me make lifestyle changes which, months later, have improved my overall health. I later started seeing Dr. Chris after a long backpacking trip through South America. Dr. Chris is extremely knowledgable and has a great manner with his patients. I have already started seeing improvements after just 2 visits! All members of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful with whatever service you need! Highly recommend. read more

I've been a patient for over five years and have sought treatment for back pain and a locked up shoulder. The attention that the staff has shown me was very thorough and professional, while also demonstrating friendliness. Dr. Dever has been invaluable in taking care of the routine pains I experience in getting older. Additionally, the functional medicine practice has taught me about proper dietary choices that have helped me to lose approximately 25 pounds and keep it off for over four years. read more

GO!!! GO!!! GO!!! I have been a patient for about 6-8 months now and I have been feeling so much better. Dr. Devers is an excellent chiropractor and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I went to this place about a year ago for a "free consultation." First, they will run all sorts of "cool" tests on you. Then they go in for the kill and make you think that you are practically on your death bed. They will show you charts that say that you are an old bat, and that you need to take action immediately -- when your regular doctor has not even brought up an issue. Let me tell you, I am an average person, and not obese by any means, yet they make you feel like that. Then they will try to lock you in to a series of appointments and have you buy all these expensive supplements. Save your money, time, and worry. There is a huge price to pay for "free" stuff. read more

Dr Edginton is my go-to PT/chiropractor. I have come in over the years for neck, back, elbow, TMJ issues. He and his friendly staff can always help me. With their help, I completed my 1st triathlon last week! Thank you, everyone at American Back Center! read more

Dr. Chris and his co workers are all amazing miracle workers. Loved working with all of them. Great people!

Dr Chris and the staff at American Back Center are the best! I had hip replacement surgery and they came up with a comprehensive therapy program fir me to get my mobility and strength back. Kevin is a great physical therapist and provided a sense of humor while pushing me through exercises. Dr Chris is one of the few ART chiropractors in the city and it's a great alternative to regular chiropractic care-better results. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Rosenthal and the staff in 2008. My experience was great. I went in on the verge of being a diabetic and having some other health issues. Within 6 months of making gradual changes to my diet, using the supplements and incorporating daily walking for exercise I was vastly improved. Later on the chiropractor (Dr. Dever) got me aligned. The supplements are expensive but worth it..think of it as having a great meal/night on the town but your body will be better for it. I greatly appreciated that I was allowed to choose what I would and would not do/buy. read more

I have never felt better and more educated regarding my health. I know that this is the right fit for meeting my nutritional and long term health needs. Very thankful for DAVE and the wonderful staff at the American Back Center. read more

Dr. Chris is a super down to earth doctor. He explained everything to me so I understood why my body was the way it was. He is very thorough and gives you exercises to do on your own so you can help your treatment. I recommend him to anyone experiencing back pain. He is genuinely a great doctor and one I look forward to seeing. The office in general is very relaxed and Adrianna makes you feel very welcome..Kudos to the whole team. read more

Dr. Chris and his staff have been extremely helpful in healing my back issues. They are very kind and understanding. I would recommend coming here to anyone looking to improve their overall well being. read more

I was experiencing major pain in my forearm and was on the phone calling a doctor when a coworker overheard me and interrupted the phone call to tell me how good the american back center is. I hung up the phone and he handed me DR. Chris's card. To my surprise I got an appointment for the same day and they accepted my insurance as well. When I first walked in kaylee set me up to discuss insurance and was ready from our discussion on the phone earlier. I got right in with Dr. Chris for diagnosis and testing. He was extremely thorough and even showed me a bunch of websites and encouraged me to read up on my diagnosis (tennis elbow - lateral epicondylitis ) before the next visit. Physical therapy with pt Chris and Andery have pushed me to get the right muscles working and give me the tools, exercises and knowledge to help speed the recovery from my injury. I'm not a big fan of chiropractic adjustments but Dr. Chris makes it easy. He relaxes your muscles first and stretches you before the adjustment. I have also had a couple of massages that were part of my recovery, that were a pleasant surprise and helped out with the pain. I have been more than satisfied with the staff, cleanliness, hours, equipment, tests and results from this establishment. I highly recommended Dr. Chris and his staff. read more

The service I receive at American Back center is fantastic. It all starts with a warm and friendly greeting y Adriana the receptionist, followed by a great Chiropractic adjustment,wonderful massage, and great nutritional information. I love Dr. Chris's personality and the fact that he remembers personal things about each of his patients makes the experience that much more special. I highly recommend American Back Center. read more

I have had a recurring back pain for a while and I decided to have it checked. I made a call and I had an appointment for next day, whiting a week I was already under treatment for my issue. Every one is very friendly and make it very easy to schedule appointments. Dr Edgintin was very friendly and explained everything in great detail. I highly recommend The American Back Institute. read more

The entire staff is really great, extremely helpful, and friendly. This is an excellent alternative to surgery! Thanks!

Thanks for fixing my back!!! I cannot say enough good things about ABC! I've been a chiro and physical therapy patient off and on since I got hurt at work in 2009. They have recently added personal training into their multi-pronged approach to healthcare and total wellness. The doctors, trainers, therapists and staff are knowledgable, friendly and will treat you like family! They really care. Whether you visit ABC/Millennium Park Spa for a bone or joint issue, a waxing, nutrition advice, personal training, or other service, you will NOT be sorry that you did. They are the creme of the crop in their field. read more

I heard the buzz about Midwest Chiropractic & American Back Center and decided to give it a try since they offered a no-obligation free consultation. I couldn't remember what I had for breakfast and was feeling generally unhealthy and figured I had nothing to lose. I met with a specialist who went over all aspects of my lifestyle and really helped me get on the right track. A natural cleanse got all the garbage out of my system and has me feeling energetic and healthy and some Cognisure has improved my memory to no end. They didn't give me a hard sell or scare me into anything, as I've found at some chiropractic clinics, and I have the peace of mind that the remedies were all natural. And now they've opened up a spa so nothing can keep me away from this place! Thank you to everyone there and their friendly staff for helping me feel great again! read more

I really love this place and the staff. I started treatment here after hearing several glowing recommendations from my coworkers and I have never had better chiropractic care. The stretches and strengthening exercises make a huge difference in my chiropractic treatment and keeping me pain-free. The location is perfect for anyone working downtown and the staff is really friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. If you are looking for chiropractic, physical therapy, massage...you should definitely check out American Back Center! read more

The company is very knowledgeable, and has great service. They pride themselves on a "family" atmosphere. A little pushy to purchase more visits, but otherwise they're really good. read more

This place is a Miracle. I had severe back and neck pains for well over ten years. The pain was chonic and numbing. A 10 on the pain scale. I have been to many doctors who all had theories as to what was wrong with me. None of the procedures they applied ever worked. I've been attending appointments for only a few weeks now, and I am in less pain than I have been, in about 7 years. The recovery that I have experienced has been so rapid that I have complete confidence that by the end of the treatments, I will have completely alleviated 100% of the pain. Dr. Rafie at The American Back Center, and Rebecca, Katie, Carol, Dr. Swanson, ,Callie, Purvi, Ed and Allison who are just a hand full, of a fantastic team of absolute professionals. Their ability to correctly diagnose the issues at hand and treat them are nothing short of genius. They use methods of healing unlike any I have ever encountered. My recovery is expected to be permanent. Which is an ideal I had completely dismissed. I never thought I would be living without at least some discomfort and pain again. But it is clear now that, that, is not the case anymore. I owe my life to these people. And I thank them from the bottom of my heart. read more

This was my first visit. The staff at The American Back Center made me feel very comfortable. The doctor took her time explaining my condition and what treatments were available for me. I'm very pleased with the Center. read more

I initially came here for severe neck pain, which Dr. Chris help diagnose as an actual neck sprain through X-rays and such. We were put on physical therapy plan for 3 times a week for 3 weeks and I can fortunately say that it worked successfully! Dr. Chris does safe adjustments and then physical therapy equipment accelerated the process a lot faster. Dr. Chris also threw in like 4 massages with their massage therapist, Erin who is awesome at taking out in knots in the least painful way possible. The staff is extremely friendly and personable and the location is great. It's just a 15 min walk on my lunch break and they are very flexible with their schedule. I would definitely recommend this clinic. read more

Since I work in a office and I'm constantly sitting down at my desk most of my shift using my computer, I've tend to have bad posture with some serious shoulder/neck/back pain. One day, the pain was just too much. I'm in my mid-20s and already experiencing such pains. So, I had to do something. I've heard about Dr Chris and this place from my coworkers since they go to him plus they're a floor from the same building as us. So, I've decided to go to him. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE. The whole staff, especially Dr. Chris, are amazing. He provided me a detailed treatment plan and he have explained everything to me. I've started seeing him late April and I'm still seeing him once a month. The horrible pains and super tensed shoulders I had back on late April are gone. I do tend to have minor pains, but hey I work a office job and that's why he suggested seeing him monthly so I won't go back to those horrible pains I've felt in late April. I SUPER RECOMMEND GOING TO THIS PLACE. read more

I am a new patient and I must say the customer service is outstanding wait time is minimal!!! Dr. Chris and his staff is amazing. The wealth of information that is provided empowers me to make better decisions . read more

I initially went to ABC because I was having pain in my shoulder such that I couldn't sleep, and had difficulty dressing and using my arm. My primary care physician gave me a choice for either PT or chiropractic services and I chose ABC because it is very close to my office and they offered both types of services. I am very pleased. After a course of physical therapy sessions and adjustments with the chiropractor I am doing great. Dr. Chris and the rest of the staff are very professional, friendly and always ready for me when I arrive which is important because I have serious time constraints. They provide a digital confirmation of my appointment which I really like. They also work together very well so that no matter who I am seeing on a particular day, there is continuity and it is clear that they had spoken with each other about my case and are working on a common plan to address my problem. I also started working with Danielle for nutrition and I am very satisfied with the results. Under her direction/supervision I have adopted a much healthier diet that has had a very positive effect on my health. My internist reduced the medication I am taking for hpt after the first month working with Danielle and I haven't taken Claritin or other drugs for sinus stuff for months. I highly recommend ABC. read more

I am having a great experience at the American Back Center. Dr. Gomez does an awesome job of getting to the root of the problem and doesnt just cover it up with adjustments and such. The staff is great as well. I think one of the best aspects of this clinic is they have thier own Physical Therapy team. This allows the chiropractor (dr gomez) to work very closely with the PT (her name is purvi) vice versa. The PT staff is top notch as well- the are the most knowledgeable i've ever worked with and do a great job of evolving and staying current with new techniques. All in all one of the best Chiropractor/PT office in Chicago. read more
