Chiropractic FAQ’s

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a science based on the philosophy that good health depends, in part, on a normally functioning nervous system (especially the brain, spinal cord, & spinal nerves linking all parts of the body). “Chiropractic” comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos, meaning “effective treatment by hand.” Chiropractic is the science of locating the nerve or interference that is affecting the body’s ability to adapt to its environment. This is achieved through gentle, safe, precise chiropractic adjustments and not through the use of harsh drugs.

What conditions benefit from Chiropractic care?

Chiropractic is most used to relieve low back pain; however, several studies have documented the effectiveness of Chiropractic for a variety of conditions. These include, but are not limited to: migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, high blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic. We have helped patients in the Chicago area with a number of symptoms, reach out to see if we can be of help to you.

Does Chiropractic hurt?

No. Under normal circumstances, chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. Some patients may experience a minor amount of discomfort during an adjustment which lasts only moments.

Is Chiropractic safe?

Chiropractic adjustments, or manipulations, are extremely safe. Chiropractic takes a conservative approach while avoiding invasive procedures and/ or potentially dangerous drugs. In fact newborns as well as seniors can benefit from chiropractic treatment.

Is Chiropractic covered by insurance?

Most insurance companies offer some sort of chiropractic coverage. The best option to confirm coverage, is to call our office at (312) 642-1138 and speak with one of the staff members about the costs based on your coverage.

What type of education do Chiropractors receive?

Chiropractic education requires anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, radiography, spinal adjusting techniques, and other related subjects with an emphases on neuromuscular diagnosis and treatment.

To graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, each candidate must pass their National Board of examinations, along with the licensing boards in their own state. A Chiropractor’s education never ends. The state of Illinois requires 50 hours per year of post graduate education for license renewal.

Are all chiropractic adjustments the same?

No. Each patient’s spinal problem and course of treatments is unique. Age, occupation and health goals will influence your course of treatment. Every patient presents with their own spinal pattern, and therefore will be treated and adjusted accordingly.

Each of your precise, individual chiropractic treatments builds on the one before. While visits may seem similar or repetitive, they are the necessary building blocks, forming the foundation of health and wellness.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

-Anonymous

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
