Dr. Cress is an awesome chiropractor! I have been to a couple in my life before him and what separates him from the rest is his ability to both communicate what is wrong and how you can fix it. I was surprised ay how much time he spent with me explaining my low back pain, how it was injured ( I work out a lot ) , and how just tweaking my workout plan to incorporate more gluten and hamstrings would offset my low back pain. After only a few visits my low back pain was gone. The best part is Dr. Cress never hounded on me to have a 20 or 30 visit treatment plan. Once I was out of pain , he said if it came back to first try the stretches he showed me, and if that didnt work to give him a call. Very honest doctor. You can tell he is truly loves his job. I started going to Dr. Cress after meeting him on the basketball courts at XSport and then seeing him work out a lot. He has also helped me with upper back pain and headaches. I now live in Texas but whenever I am in town I always call Dr. Cress for an appointment. Even if you feel ok, he is a very funny person, and you always feel better after you leave his office. I am very happy to hear that he is starting his own new practice. He deserves all the success that comes his way. I highly recommend Dr Cress and continue to do so all the way from Texas. How good was he? I drove from Broadview to Arlington Heights to see the doc and that was a 25 min drive. Well worth the drive.

Dr. Cress is a great chiropractor! Ive gone to chiropractors my whole life and his adjustments are very light and effective. I am moving to Chicago soon and am very happy to be his patient full time. Right now I see him once a month when I am in town and only when my neck pain or headaches are bad. His stretches are very effective. I first met Dr. Cress in undergrad when we both were in the same Sports Medicine program. Back then I found him to to be very dedicated to his studies and very knowledgeable about anatomy. When I happened to find him in Chicago while visiting I was amazed at how well he was at explaining anatomy to me on an elementary level. Even with my background in medicine he still was able to explain to me very thoroughly and in a manner that helped me visualize what was wrong and how we can fix it. He took his time and explained every thing and answered every question that I asked him. Dr. Cress explained to me that he taught anatomy at a couple of massage schools and kinesiology at Eastern Illinois University. That explained why he was able to explain things so well. Overall he is a very funny doctor and after a few minutes you can tell he works in a profession that to him is not a job. He clearly demonstrates his love of his profession. I highly recommend Dr. Cress for headaches and migraines and neck pain. If I ever have other aches and pains I will surely call Dr. Cress first.

Found this gem while searching for local chiropractors in the area. After a rough summer with Chemotherapy and several surgeries, I was in desperate need of professional guidance to help suppress some of the side effects. Upon entering ARC Chiropractic, I felt the main sitting area as welcoming and comfortable - getting greeted by Bentley everyday helps set the mood for the day (those that have been, know what Im talking about). On the first visit I was instantly greeted by Dr. Cress, and taken in the back for an evaluation on diagnoses. After the first visit, he was able to provide me with several services to help improve some side effects. Ive been going 3 times a week for 4 weeks and Ive never so comfortable with the environment, the Dr., and services. Acupuncture, massage, stretching, adjustments - were all apart of the services Ive received this month. All improving my side effects and helping with my well-being. Such a laid back guy, and professional individual. Sue was my Massage Therapist and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for one of the most relaxing massages. Coordinating with Dr. Cress, she was able to find out the exact muscles that needed some work on, and Ive never felt so balanced after leaving. Thank you Dr. Cress & Sue for the amazing hospitality and I look forward to future visits at ARC Chiropractic.

I can here for my knee pain and I quickly found out that Dr. Cress is more than a sports chiropractor. He was able to quickly determine that the cause of my knee pain was not the knee but from my running style. After trying to determine when it hurt while running he said they best way is to see how i run over long distances since we could not reproduce the pain in office. The doc came with me for a 5k one afternoon and was able to show me how my running stance changed over the course and without telling him when it started to hurt he was able to tell me. He then worked me going over running stances , developed a workout plan for me, and we did a lot of stretching and physical therapy. I think the office has like a 500st rehab bay which looks bigger. Cant speak highly enough about Dr. Cress. He really went the extra mile I think in trying to determine the cause of my pain. My orthopedic told me to quit running, physical therapy told me to strengthen my core and try swimming, and then my chiropractor isolates the cause and fixes it. Can now run 13 miles pain free. Hes even helped get rid of my wifes migraines. Shes been on medication for as long as I can remember. After 4 visits with Dr. Cress no medication and no migraines. ARC and Dr Cress are as good as advertise. You can tell he has a passion for your well being.

I came because of a Groupon and was blown away with the amount of time the doctor spent with me. Especially since he was not getting full price. You can tell he really cares about his profession. Originally I can in with debilitating headaches and hot flashes. Dr. Cress recommended metagenics for the hotflashes and they worked great! I can finally sleep again. My headaches were a different story. My neurologist had me taking a few different meds and nothing was working. So I thought I would give acupuncture a try. Dr. Cress to my surprise said that would not help. The cause of the headaches to him was muscle in nature and what I was calling migraines/eye headaches was actually referred pain. He did one ART ( I called it massage but he said massages feel good and this does not and he was right! ) session and my headache was gone! I followed that up with acupuncture to help me relax and that week no more headaches. He taught me some stretches and that helps a lot. Since my first visit I have sent bth my children for sports injuries and both are doing much better. I really like how he does not keep you for a long treatment plan. Once you feel better you get released from care. Highly receommend Dr. Cress and ARC to anyone with migraines/headaches or sports injuries.

If youre like me, young 50s, and menopause has crept in and taken you by complete surprise, then you need to schedule an appt. with Dr. Cress; Chiropractor {Yes}, Menopause Guru {For Sure}. I was experiencing achy muscles, weight gain, night sweats, sleepless nights and unbearable hot flashes. I was painting on a happy face each day and trying to make the best of the situation. I talked to my gyno [no, I dont want to take hormones]. I googled alternative remedies and the answer came back to Dr. Cress and "Acupuncture". At the beginning of January I talked to Dr. Cress about what I was experiencing - KEY point here, HE LISTENS TO YOU. With the help of Acupuncture, a Metagenics Supplement that he suggested and Chiropractic adjustments, I am already seeing a HUGE decrease in the hot flashes, I am sleeping thru the night {AMEN} and I am exercising again because of all the ENERGY that I am experiencing which is dropping those unwelcomed extra pounds. Those dark days have turned into a HAPPY NEW YEAR with the help of Dr. Cress and his amazing staff. For any woman experiencing these symptoms and more, I encourage you to schedule an appt. and talk with Dr. Cress. Kick those menopausal symptoms to the curb and get ready for a Healthy, Happy and Energetic YOU.
