Tina goes the extra mile to schedule affordable followup sessions so that the necessary breakthroughs for deep healing are facilitated. Her office is in a convenient, Northside location with plenty of parking. The building is professional, clean, safe, quiet and handicap accessible.

I've been treated by Dr. Gold since 11/2019; after an injury that caused excruciating back pain. I…read morecould barely move in bed or walk without severe pain; bending was impossible. Dr. Gold was God sent! She's a highly qualified and professional Naprapath. The initial examination was very thorough. She diagnosed my problem and created custom treatment plan; including stretches to help with pain relief. Dr. Gold is personable, accommodating, and answers my questions timely. She follows extremely strict sanitation practices between each patient; which I appreciate, given the covid pandemic. After nearly one year of virtual learning, decreased activity, gaming, and poor ergonomics, my 16 year old son started complaining of lower back and neck pain. After failed relief with stretching, I knew Dr. Gold would help. She treats pediatric patients and has been very gentle with her approach. My son's back pain continues to improve with each treatment. I'm very thankful our family has put our trust in a highly trained medical professional. My pain has significantly decreased and now I can perform normal activities without pain. Thank you Dr. Gold!

I went for treatment on a hip issue I had been experiencing due to a bad ankle injury I sustained 6…read moreyears ago. After seeing a sports injury Dr. it was recommended that I find a good physical therapist that could target the area and fix the muscle injury and strengthen the area. I could not have found a better place to go for this treatment. My results were great, the effected area is not in pain any longer and I have gained strength and flexibility to support that muscle group. They were always professional and knowledgeable but most importantly they make you feel at home and at ease during treatment. Wonderful and interesting people that obviously truly care, I could not more highly recommend!

I was amazed that the pain went away that same day. I've done acupuncture before but it's never been so effective. She is also helping me work through some of my allergy symptoms through accupunture and cupping. She gave me a wonderful nasal spray that is natural. I feel better overall because of my treatment. Jeanette explains things very well to me. I"ve had a very positive experience. Based on my two times there, I highly recommend going to Shuler Acupuncture.

I started going to Jeanette for back pain and not only has she helped reduce my daily pain…read moreimmensely but she has also helped with my stress, anxiety and slight insomnia at the same time. I experience immediate relief after each appointment and they have become appointments that I look forward to during my week. Although acupuncture is not a "one size fits all" it will surprise you with how much it can help with different day to day struggles. Since I have started treatment with Jeanette, I have felt improvement in my daily moods and my ability to function on a daily basis.

My wife found this clinic for pelvic floor PT after giving birth and I became a patient soon after…read more Everything about my experience has been great. Scheduling is reasonably quick for new patients. I saw Matt and he methodically and holistically worked with me to reduce my hip pain. He helped me change my posture, adjust my sleeping position and do exercises to strengthen my hips and gluts. It was a process, but I steadily got better. I particularly appreciate how he did research to identify new ways of treating me, truly acting with ownership. To finally heal, he realized I needed pelvic floor support and referred me to Deja, who got me to the finish line. The reception team is friendly and easy to schedule with.

He's worked with several of the PTs and said they were all great compared to others he has had in the past. Highly rec!

I am so lucky to have found Meredith and Lakeshore PT. She has helped me for almost 3 months…read morethrough a pretty serious herniated disc in my lower back and the bonuses: sciatica and plantar fasciitis. Not only has she taught me many ways to build back up my strength, but shared a ton of new ideas to strengthen my core, etc. to manage this back injury moving forward. Via in person, emails AND print outs. Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it. I cannot say enough great things - you must go see her. You will not be disappointed and it will be so worth your time and money/insurance co-pay. Joni and Sally are also amazing! They were super communicative, helpful and patient with my insurance paperwork (read: delays) and were always rooting for me to get better. They also proactively helped me schedule my preferred appointment times. Wonderful experience for my first time doing PT!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I came in here a couple of months ago in crippling pain and almost unable to walk. Having had hip…read moreand knee issues in the past, I chalked it up to overuse/weak joints. Meredith, the PT, was efficient and able to see me right away. At one of the sessions, she used an ultrasound machine that I was almost tempted to buy for my own home, it was that good. The exercises were well explained and I like having the emailed video that I can turn to as a refresher. The main draws of this location, at least for me, are proximity (walking/limping distance from my condo) and the relative privacy of the treatment rooms. Postscript: I later found out that the source of my pain was a fractured femoral neck. Hard to believe that I had been walking around on it for almost a month, not to mention doing my assigned exercises faithfully. The PT needed to be tabled in favor of more aggressive treatment (surgery and pinning). Here I will note that Meredith made a point of calling me after my surgery, to see how everything was going. Considering that we had only had a few sessions before I received my diagnosis, I would definitely say that this level of caring and concern went above and beyond. If I need physical therapy in the future, I will definitely be including this place on my short list of options, and do not hesitate to recommend it to either the dedicated athlete or weekend warrior in need of strengthening and rehabilitation.

My mod had frozen shoulder on her right side and was unable to comb her hair. Her doctor suggested my mom to see a physical therapist. While my mom had doubts on how useful PT would be intially, she was able to feel the differences right after one session with Sangeeta. Sangeeta is very knowledgeable and have a nice demeanor. She created a treatment plan specific to my mom. Besides three sessions per week, Sangeeta also taught my mom on the exercises she could do it at home. After 10 sessions, my mom could comb her hair without any problem and she was able to use her right hand/shoulder without much pain at all. I am so grateful for her excellent care provided to my mom and highly recommend her to anyone who may need physical therapies.

I teach Thai massage and related bodywork and went to take a class with a teacher at Chuck's…read moreschool. While I was there I was rather nervous at first as Thai massage can be nearly religious and having never met Chuck, I admit my initial apprehension. Over time I relaxed, Chuck even noted my seeming tension after some discussion of Thai massage politics in the US and we settled into a nice conversation about how we both just don't really care to get overly involved in the politics but want to focus on good bodywork and education. The classes I took at the facility were wonderful and it being spring in Chicago the weather was great. The room had ample breeze with windows open, high wooden ceilings and the decor was relaxed but professional. I'd go study here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for making my short stay so nice Chuck. Appreciate you and your work in the heartland.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of taking a basic Clinical Thai Bodywork course with Chuck and…read moreJennifer. The course was excellent, and really whet my appetite for what is possible through the blending of Thai Bodywork and Clinical Massage Techniques. However, what really blew my mind was how I felt after receiving 60 seconds of bodywork from Chuck (I was being used as a demo). He was demonstrating a spray and stretch technique on my right neck and shoulder. This area of my body had bothered me for as long as I can remember...flared up into headaches on a frequent basis (daily at it's worse, every other week at its best). It also would bother me to the point that I'd toss and turn frequently at night, which made it hard to get a good nights sleep. I am a massage therapist, and have sought out lots of help for myself. I have done much self-massage and seen many other practitioners. But I can honestly say that nothing has been as effective as that 60 seconds from Chuck. I emerged on the other side of it with the muscle feeling softer and more pliable, multiple trigger points released, increased range of motion, improved posture, the list goes on and on. In the days after, not only did I not have any headaches, but there was no sign of a headache brewing. There was no tension!! I could sleep through the night! Really can't recommend Chuck and this type of work enough! I look forward to going back for a full session!!
