As a personal injury defense attorney, I am naturally apprehensive when it comes to chiropractors. I see many offices take on patients in and out like a conveyer belt, rarely changing daily notes, not spending time to actually see how the progression is, merely ringing up charges. I have seen one chiropractor in the past and it was a great experience; granted, it was a friend whom I trusted (and he did a great job!). Luckily, that made me less apprehensive about seeing a chiropractor again and when I moved out of the city, I needed to find a closer office to visit. I've always had tension in my shoulders/neck area, pain and tightness in my lower back, and after a stint in the hospital for esophogeal problems, tightness and pain in my middle back. I avoided it for months, but when the pain got bad enough, I bit the bullet, checked yelp, and made an appointment. I am very glad I did! All three doctors at the practice are not only professional, but very nice. Each visit, they ask how all of the patients are doing. The set- up may seem unconventional to some, with tables out in the open, but its actually very helpful. Some patients have questions, and the others get the benefit of hearing the answer. Ofcourse, if you ever felt uncomfortable and wanted a private room to be seen, there are areas for that. They do anything to make you comfortable. I felt a great benefit from treatment and I will continue to see them on a regular basis for continued maintenance. One thing I always disliked about people who have sought chiropractic care and did not see the benefits, is that more usually than not, they went once or twice. There is no magic cure when something is really wrong. If you have something really wrong, its going to take more than one or two quick adjustments to right a lifetime of wrong (and they can help if you allow them to do so!). But if you had a quick tweak, its a great idea, too. You don't have to go through a whole long treatment process. See them a few times, or multiple times a week for months... depending what is wrong, they can help. And if there is not anything wrong, maintaining proper adjustments has also shown to be very beneficial! So, for someone that is against many chiropractic offices, I give 5 stars to this one. You will receive treatment from all three of the doctors throughout your time here, and all are friendly, professional and effective. If you are on YELP! looking for a chiropractor, you are already questioning it, so you may as well just give it a try! read more

Received great care from the office. Scheduling was very simple and was seen within same week. The front desk staff was extremely kind when checking me in and out for the appointment and they explained everything my insurance would or would not cover before proceeding with care so I had no suprises. Between the care both Dr. Boyd and Dr. Bertke provided helped my neck and upper back feel relief finally. Having quality of life is so important and this doctors office helped me obtain that. I highly recommend this office if your feeling any discomfort or if your just curious how your body is lining up. Thanks everyone who works there read more

I started going to Illinois Spinal Care in the beginning of the year, after some ongoing lower back issues started flaring up again. I had a situation going on that impacted when/how often I could go in, and the doctors were more than willing to be flexible and work with me on scheduling. At first, I wasn't so sure how I felt about the open-concept/layout of the facility, but that feeling was quickly put to rest with just the overall warmth of the office staff/team and both Dr. Boyd's and Dr. Scott's professional, enthusiastic, and friendly approach to treating patients. If one is not there, the other one will see you and they each have their unique and helpful approaches to treating your issue(s) - and both make an amazing difference! After completing all the sessions of my treatment plan, I am now on a maintenance plan with them. My physical and general well-being are so much better, and I will continue to see them as long as I am in the area. I highly recommend Illinois Spinal Care for your spinal care needs! read more

I love this place! I came in here with a crazy amount of discomfort and tightness to the point I could barely move my neck. You know when you sleep badly and wake up having to move your whole neck to turn, like a robot? Yeah, that was me. I can now move my shoulders and I am feeling overall so much better and sleeping better. The holidays have been stressful and at times I could not make it in, but the office staff worked their magic and found a way to fit me in so I could stay on track. The office lay out is an open office concept which I've never seen before at a chiropractor's office, but I like it. It has a good vibe, everyone is easy going and has a smile on their face. The moment I knew I was at the right place was when I saw one of the Doctors adjusting a baby! Yes, a baby! And this baby was laughing, not even scared or worried. Completely trusting. I've never seen anything like it. And I guess that's the neat thing of the open office concept you get to see the magic happen. I'll def keep coming back! read more

Illinois Spinal Care - After care with the stimulator on my neck upper back! Melting in a good way - Chiropractors Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

I was injured at a hospital during a bed transfer one hour after a major abdominal surgery. My neck and back pain were horrible from the bed transfer debacle. I started with physical therapy, but didn't feel much improvement. My physical therapist suggested chiropractic care. Dr. Boyd and the entire team have helped relieve my nerve and neck pain from the injury. They are positive and you can tell they really care about their patients and want them them to get better. I have hope for continued improvement and am very thankful I found Illinois Spinal Care. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Redinger and Dr. Bertke for 4 years now and they have restored my ability to do even the simplest things without pain. But the MOST AMAZING thing they have done was help my 4 month old baby girl with her stomach troubles. I took her in to see Dr. Redinger for some constipation and gas troubles and by the time I got home from her appointment she had a great bowel movement and I could tell she felt so much better! Nothing I've tried so far has helped like this has. As a first time mom, it's such a relief to know she feels better. read more

100% Recommended! the staff and the doctors are all super nice and friendly. this place is amazing. and the doctors are very good at all issues you have and they are always there to help however they can! my back is amazing! and it even helped my foot pain! read more

I came back to Illinois Spinal Care because upper beck and neck pains. Dr. Bertke took time to listen to my story and took time to formulate best treatment plan. Now couple months later I'm pain free and have walked away with wellness program that fits my time and schedule. I'm highly recommending ILSC read more

I've had lower back pain for almost two years straight and couldn't take it anymore. My husband recommended that I should see a chiropractor here but I was very hesitant. I thought this was all mumbo jumbo but I felt like my body was going to break in half so I caved in and went. Illinois Spinal Care is just absolutely amazing. They took xrays of my back and neck to find the issue. Not only was my back out of whack but so was my neck! The doctors and staff there are so awesome, friendly, and they all actually remember your name! If you have back pain this is the place to go. I have felt so good in years and I wish I saw ISC sooner! read more

The staff are all so friendly and they really provide you with the help you need to combat any back pain!

Been going here since 2015 and they are very accommodating and great at education about chiropractic care. All the staff is friendly, personable and always welcoming! read more

I really can't say enough about the quality of service and the atmosphere that Illinois Spinal Care provides to its patients. I came to them with serious back pain from an accident and they took x-rays, showed me where they believed the problem was and set out a course of action that, within a short period of time, had me back to normal and pain free. Great clinic, great doctors, great staff and great results! read more

This review is long overdue but I need to write about how much Illinois Spinal Care has improved my quality of life. I am an average active person but about a year ago, I noticed I was hurting when I walked. My gait was out of alignment. I was kind of limping. I first went to PT for 2.5 months and it helped a bit but I still had issues with sitting, sleeping and just plain walking. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was nervous. On a friend's recommendation, I went to Illinois Spinal Care. I am so glad that I did. I was thoroughly evaluated at my first visit and it turns out my spine was out of proper alignment and had disc issues in three places. I worked with Dr. Boyd and Dr. Redinger for several months to get my back into shape again. Dr. Redinger was super supportive and always worked to problem solve what was going on with my back and figure out how best to get it to stay in proper alignment. It was definitely a journey and my back's needs changed each time it improved so it helped that he was so persistent. He always explained what he was doing and why. I really felt like my concerns were always addressed and respected. Today, I am 100% better. I am now again able to kayak, do yoga and walk long trails again without pain. Without the help of Dr. Boyd and Dr. Redinger cheering me on and patiently working with me and my back issues, I can enjoy an active lifestyle again. I even referred my husband and he has resolved his back issues as well. What a great caring team at Illinois Spinal Care! read more

I work in healthcare and I am a trained practitioner in internal medicine locally.. to be honest, I don't recommend chiropractors much due to poor experiences... BUT, from first hand experience and seeing my husband's recovery, I would HIGHLY recommend the Drs here. My husband is 28 and was complaining of some lower back pain and sciatica symptoms for a few months. Mostly from basketball and previous injury. He doesn't take pain meds (only an occasional advil here and there) but he just couldn't take the pain anymore. He would get out of bed and had to stand for 5 min to catch himself before moving on. He wouldn't be able to easily get out of the car... it hurt him pretty badly. After reading these yelp reviews, I sent him to see Illinois Spinal Care. After the first 3 weeks of sessions, he already felt better. His entire therapy lasted about 3-4 months (the sessions tapered off toward the end since he felt better). We are about 1.5 years out now... and knock on wood... he is normal. No complaints. No pain. When I ask him how his back is (he still plays active basketball and works out regularly), he says "Nothing. Perfect". When you see this kind of a result, you can't help but write a positive review. These guys know what they're doing. They won't push pills or narcotics which is what I admired from the very beginning. They really try to come to the root of the problem. Thanks guys! read more

Great doctors and great staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable people. I feel way better after my treatment!

These are, hands down, the best chiropractors around. These doctors are extremely competent and know how to make you feel better much quicker than other doctors I've visited, and while they encourage monthly maintenance visits (which are definitely worthwhile) their treatment plans are not long, drawn, expensive plans that do little to help. After coming here, I truly understand the benefits of chiropractic medicine. There is such a positive vibe there too, that you can't help walking out feeling really great, just because everyone there a great attitude. read more

I just got done with 3 months of care from Dr. Mendoza and the entire team at Illinois Spinal Care. I am not one to leave reviews but these guys rock! I feel a lot better, my back and neck pain is gone and my posture is so much better! These guys are honest, caring, and really go out of their way to be friendly and get to know you and your life through the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks! read more

The entire team here cares about you and strives to make every visit better than the last. I can't say enough good things about Drs Redinger and Bertke, they are the best!! read more

I can not say enough nice things about them. We started taking my son at 2 months old because we were having issues with him screaming in the car seat which sounded like a painful cry. They took amazing care of him and continue to take amazing care. Being a new mom during Covid I was hesitant to go anywhere but they have been kind, caring, and clean. I know we're safe when go. We have seen such amazing results with our son that my husband and I started going. The staff is friendly and professional from the moment you walk in until you leave. read more

Love love love this place!! Treatment is phenomenal and the doctors are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It's a breath of fresh air when you walk in there. I highly recommend them!! read more

This Christmas, one of the things that I am most grateful for is Illinois Spinal Care and their amazing doctors! I struggle with significant back issues and these fantastic doctors have kept me out of surgery for the last six or seven years! Their services have been the only thing that I have seen to improve my back pain (no success with physical therapy, medications, or cortisone injections). I did not believe in chiropractic services before I started with them and only went to them years ago as a last ditch effort before spinal fusion surgery. Best decision I've ever made! A side bonus is that the docs and their staff are all wonderfully compassionate, kind people who go the extra mile to help their patients. Thank you to all of the staff for making it possible for me to wrap presents, enjoy my little family, and even just walk to see lights this Christmas! read more

I love ISC! I was going there for almot a year in 2010 and I am definitely going back after I have my baby to get my spine in shape again. Initial exrays showed that one of my legs is shorter and I just needed to wear a special shoe insert to correct the problem. I felt 200% better instantly from my lower back! I could not believe that I had to wait 15 years in pain to finally meet doctors that know what they are talking about! I LOVED my massages with Tunisia. She is absolutely wonderful and did miracles with my lower back and overworked arm muscles and tendants. I recommend this place to everyone I meet that is in pain. I am definitely going back starting next year and I will be taking both my kids with me. read more

Excellent specialists with a clean and professional facility. I recommend them to anyone looking for a more warm and professional spinal adjustment and chiropractic experience. read more

"No Pain No Gain" does not apply here! I came in basically hunched over and could not turn my neck. I felt amazing after one adjustment, but being an athlete I knew I could not just go in for one treatment. I listened to what the Doc had to say and basically trust the process. After just a couple months of visits I am back in the gym and feeling better than ever. Some of the nicest people I have ever met and it's not just the chiropractors, it's everyone in the office. The place is clean, friendly, and they know what they are doing to take care of you. That is their number one goal. I can't wait to go back. read more

I was seeing a neurologist and then was referred to a neurosurgeon because I was living with excruciating back pain that had taken over my life. I had problems walking and doing simple chores. Even swimming was difficult. I started gaining wait due to inactivity. I used to be a long distance runner and swimmer. Then, it was recommended to use pain management in terms of using ibuprofen, hydrocodone, and once monthly cortisone injections through IV done by the neurologist in outpatient. Yes, there was some relief and I could move around somewhat. I was able to walk down the aisle at my daughter's wedding. However, I had also gained 30 MORE lbs and appeared like the Pilsbury Dough Girl. Plus, being a Type I diabetic, my blood glucose levels had been rising.I was falling apart and in poor health to say the least. The neurosurgeon decided one last ditch effort before surgery would be to go to the recommend Illinois Spinal Care in Elmhurst, go to physical therapy, and concentrate on losing weight. I also went up to Mayo Clinic to consult about the diabetes and my weight. Physical therapy was short lived. It was extremely painful, I ran out of insurance and it cost too much money out of pocket. I started at Illinois Spinal Care in October with desperation and deep skepticism. However, the people were very kind and accepting. Dr. Rettinger, Dr. Bertke, Dr, Mendoza, and their entire staff were very accommodating. Within two weeks, the pain was still there but had lessoned. I managed through the holidays with massage therapy, icing and chiro adjustments 3 X per week. AND NO DRUGS! I thought it was improving. But then, the sciatica kicked in over New Years. OMG. A different kind of pain. I could walk all right but sleeping or sitting or moving on my left side was so inflamed and painful. First week after New years, Dr. Bertke said I had to come every day and no massage until the inflammation had calmed down. Constant icing. Within three weeks, it had calmed down. At this writing, the first week in February, the pain has changed from lower back type pain to sharp shooting pain on my left side, which is sciatica. It also was traveling up my left arm and I was weakened. I had regressed backwards. This week in February, the sciatica has calmed down but, every wrong movement reminds me that it is still there so I will be in adjustments and more massage therapy for a while. I have lost 30 lbs since November 1st and will continue and this also will improve my back with less pressure from the weight. My advice: You cannot say anything until you go see these wonderful guys. Like I said, I was a complete skeptic of chiropractors until a neurosurgeon sent me to seek one. If you also have any form of bad posture or scoliosis, it will also help you. I am hooked! When I leave, I feel oh so much better. Good luck! read more

I definitely need to give Dr Mendoza and his staff in the Palatine office a HUGE shout out! It started from my first new patient phone Augustine was so kind ,caring ,and sincere he got me in the schedule asap ( I was in severe pain) and now Dr Mendoza is helping me recover from my back issues . Thanku to the entire staff its always a pleasure to come into the office! read more

Great bedside manner, easy to get in for appointments and they have helped my lower back pain and significantly improved my range of motion!

If there was an option for 10 stars, that would be my rating for them. I started coming here in 2007 and the difference it has made in my life is substantial. I have learned so much about health and wellness. The doctors are so knowledgeable and they take great care of me and my family. I have converted my entire family and they all come here. This includes my parents, sisters, brother, aunt, grandparents, father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and my husband. My son who is almost 2 comes in as well. He had a lot of colic when he was a few months old and after a couple of visits, he is the happiest baby. I am truly grateful to have these guys be my chiropractic team. read more

Years ago, I was in a bad accident - I was off of work for over a month - couldn't even bend my head down to my chest, or turn my head to the right - I was MISERABLE. After going to my doctor, and being on all of the pain medicines possible - I decided to try some chiropractic care at Illinois Spinal Care, which my sister had recommended. I have to honestly say - they gave me my life back! Not only did they treat me in the offices, they gave me exercises to do at home to speed up the recovery process. I was so impressed with the work they did, as well as the individual care they provide for each patient. And... I was COMPLETELY pain free after going through my treatment plan. I regained all of the movement in my neck - the tingling and shooting pains all went away. It was miraculous. I just recently re injured myself (ugh!) But I am on the road to recovery with the help of Illinois Spinal Care again. They are so accommodating, flexible and as easy going as possible. They have a beautiful, relaxing office and a wonderful staff. I had forgotten just how fun they actually make it to go to the doctor! Looking forward to feeling better again - and it wouldn't be possible without these guys! Can't say enough good things, or thank them enough for what they do! I would get an adjustment everyday if i could! And Tunisia gives THE BEST massages in the world. read more

I was a little skeptical about going to a chiropractor. My fiancee goes here and speaks very highly of it. I decided to try it and I received my x-rays today and got my first adjustment from Dr. Mendoza. I am a changed person. I really enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone with or without back pain. read more

LOVE this place!!!! I've been coming here forever and I will NEVER go any where else. Everyone here is truly amazing, so friendly and helpful. They are practically family, I trust them with my life. I've had back problems for a few years now and they have helped me through each time & every time I come out feeling way better then I ever did before!!! I've never liked going to the doctor but these guys are different!! They make getting better fun read more

Back in May I came to ISC in elmhurst in a world of pain. Thank goodness they were open on a Saturday!! I saw Dr. Mendoza and now after treatment I am feeling great. After the first visit, I was feeling so much better. After a month I was back to running. Everyone at the office is so nice. If you need chiro care, ISC is the place to go! read more

This place is absolutely amazing. At first I was tentative, because it's so different from other chiropractic offices I've been to. Equipment & tables out in the open, which surprised me. But they took me to private rooms as a new patient, and we're incredibly thorough and welcoming. I am from out of state, and had an emergency type situation, and they took great time & care with me. They even helped me out a bit with the price, since my insurance company doesn't cover the out of state visit. I could not recommend these doctors or this office more highly. Thank you!!!! read more

After 5 weeks, I am a very happy girl! By sticking with their schedule and allowing them to direct my care, I am finding mobility in my back, legs and shoulder that I didn't think I would get back. And, the atmospere is warm and friendly with good conversation. I can recommend this clinic and these doctors to all of my friends with confidence that they will receive excellent, affordable service. The special rates for Medicare are TRULY appreciated! read more

From my experiences with Chiropractors, this is a unique and wonderful healing practice. Truly, everyone involved is very caring, competent, and enthusiastic about what they do for their clients. From the receptionists to the doctors, the atmosphere is friendly and educational. At first, I was put off by the treatment tables in the center of the room. But you truly are the focus of care from everyone. And everyone is committed to the best possible care of each client. So as my treatment has been very successful and I move to the maintainence phase, I have only positive and grateful feelings for this practice. read more

Omg! I wish I could give 10 stars!!!! I went to Illinois Spinal Care suffering from severe back pain. After going from Dr. to Dr., I thought my case was hopeless and that I'd be one of the millions of Americans doomed to live a life in pain. Not so at Illinois Spinal Care. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with smiles so bright, I'm sure they made the Angels blush. I knew at that moment, I was in the right place. My consultation with Dr. Bertke was so informative. He laid out a plan to get me back on track and if followed carefully, would have me living a full life with little to no pain at all...and it worked. I have been a patient for about 8 months and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I continue to go back for monthly maintenance and can pretty much do things that I haven't been able to do in years. Thank you soooooo much Illinois Spinal Care. Dr. Bertke, Dr. Redenger, Dr. Mendoza are all in my opinion, the best in their fields. Chely, Sandra, Mirtha and Cyndi make visiting the office a joy. The combination of Drs and staff create an environment of excellence and fun. Even if I wasn't a patient, I'd want to go once a month just to "hang out". If your suffering from back pain PLEASE do your body a favor and go see these miracle workers. I promise you won't regret it. 10 stars! read more

Hands down the most friendliest staff! I've been going to Illinois Spinal Care for a little over a year, and it's been an awesome experience. After you receive a consultation, you'll get a treatment plan that's specifically designed to whatever your needs may be. I've been working in an office for awhile where I'm sitting most of the time. Dr. Bertke gave me a list of core/abdominal exercises that will help with back ache from sitting for eight hours a day. This proves the doctors will go out of their way to help you in any way. I strongly recommend! read more
