I've been suffering with back pain and sciatic pain for the better part of two years. I lived in complete agony every day. And every day, I could feel it getting worse. I had to have a microdiscectomy in order to remove some bulging disc from my spine. Not more than two weeks afterward, all my pain had returned and was once more getting worse. I started just sending out some emails to any place that said they did back PT as well as deep-tissue massage and chiropractic work. Dr. Lauren Schneider was the first one to get back to me with a phone call. I liked her right off the bat. She said that she wanted to try a program of PT and some chiropractic work that would either work or not work. She just wanted four weeks to see how it went. She further stated that if she didn't get the expected results, she would turn me loose to seek relief elsewhere. With that in mind, I decided to give it shot and boy am I glad I did! Not only did Dr. Schneider listen to me quote websites and my pitiful online research, she used what I'd read to help me understand what she wanted to do. She was very patient with me, listened to all of my questions and gave me more information than I thought was possible. She humored me by letting me email her a pre-visit "pain log" so that she could know what my day-to-day was like and then discuss what I was going through. This was a very wonderful way for the two of us to be on the same page with each visit. She's tough. Don't mistake her for a pushover. Very early on, I came in several times complaining of muscle soreness due to the PT she had me doing throughout the days and she said "I don't care. We can deal with muscle soreness. Keep doing your PT." At first, I thought this was a very callous response, but I thought to myself "Four weeks. She asked for four weeks, so do your PT." Within two weeks, there was noticeable improvement in my sciatic pain as well as back pain. With the PT she had me doing, the once/week chiropractic adjustments, and the deep tissue massage every other week, I feel like we've almost gotten this taken care of. Laura, who is her massage therapist, is of the same caliber as Dr. Schneider. She has great hands, superb sense of pressure, and also listens just as well as Dr. S. You're definitely in good hands with Laura. I'm so glad I gave these two a shot. After my surgery, and during a follow-up with my surgeon, I reported to him that my pain was back as bad as ever and getting worse. He brought me to tears with his cold, callous responses. I thought that I was going to have to live in pain for the rest of my life. Dr. Schneider & Laura of North Shore Natural Medicine have really changed my day-to-day quality of life and I am eternally grateful for their efforts, patience, and willingness to work with me. read more

This place is great if you're into holistic healthcare. It is a couple who have been practicing chiro for a couple years and they are great. I drive all the way to their office from Chicago and every time I think I'll just find someone closer after my next visit, my visit goes so well I leave convinced to keep making the drive. It's well worth giving this office a try if you're looking for a small warm holistic health home! read more

Dr. Schneider not only helped me resolve my chronic lower back pain but she helped with sleep regression issues we had with our toddlers. Helped me maintain a healthy, nausea free pregnancy with MUCH less aches and pains thanks to acupuncture, massage and chiropractic adjustments. Gave scans on both our children with a comprehensive explanation of the results and a game plan moving forward(included nutritional/dietary changes as well). Very thorough, kind and incredibly talented. Best decision we ever made was coming to see her! read more

Dr. Lauren Is truly amazing. When you walk into the office your immediately feel at home. You are always greeted with a friendly smile. Dr. Lauren is extremely personable and every patient loves her. She takes her time with you and gives you the attention you need. Unlike other providers who leave after 5 minutes she determines the correct treatment plan and informs you of everything you need to do in order to start feeling better. Not only does she do traditional chiropractic treatment she also treats infertility patients. The bond between her and her patients is incredible to watch. I couldn't recommend Dr. Lauren enough!

What can I say.... Dr. Lauren is truly awesome! I went to see her with a back problem and she was so patient and listened to all of my concerns. She treated me with acupuncture and I was feeling better within hours of my visit. She provides a holistic approach to her practice that is unbeatable. I also love visiting her office because of its peaceful and calming atmosphere. Thank you Dr. Lauren! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Schneider for the past few months for lower back pain as well as acupuncture. She is very professional, extremely personable, and the services offered are affordable. I couldn't be happier with the results. I have been to a couple other chiropractors over the years and Dr. Schneider is, by far, the best! I highly recommend going to North Shore Chiropractic! read more

I just moved back to the area and was looking for a local chiropractor. Booking an appointment was super easy online. Dr. Schneider is a great doctor, really takes her time to make sure she understands your issues. She did a really thorough exam and I was able to get massage and treatment on the same day at a very reasonable price. So glad that I found her - she's great! read more

A few days ago I was rear ended while traveling to work. Since then I've had head, neck and lower back pain. I called my primary doctor to schedule an appointment, but they wouldn't take me. So I started doing research as to who I could go see to document these injuries without spending 6 hrs in the emergency room just getting x-rays. I have a few friends that go to NorthShore Natural Medicine and heard good things so I google searched them and called to find out information. They said that they were busy today (Saturday 10/20/12) but could squeeze me in. Now I'm not a fan of people touching and "adjusting" me so I went to NSNM with high levels of anxiety. Once I was there I felt much calmer due to nice atmosphere and impeccable beside manner of the doctors to make me feel more comfortable. At one point both doctors came in to make sure I was doing ok while receiving treatment. The doctors at NorthShore Natural Medicine were extraordinarily knowledgeable and informative,describing each treatment as they proceeded. I was a skeptic at first of chiropractors, but the doctors at NorthShore Natural Medicine healed my body and opened my eyes to this "new" path of modern medicine. They opened their doors when all others were closed. No matter where you live I highly recommend being treated at NorthShore Natural Medicine, they're worth the drive and your body will thank you. THANK YOU to both doctors at NSNM for easing my mind and body! read more
