I highly recommend Dr. Alley at Scaffnit Chiropractic. She was excellent in listening to the issues that I was experiencing with my back, and informative about treatment options, especially acupuncture. As I have had disc issues in my back, extremely tight traps, and low back issues from sitting at a desk, in my car for the commute to work, and flying for business, my back is a mess. Constantly tight muscles, aching pain, sharp stabbing pain, pain when I wake up, hunched, rolled shoulders, posture issues, etc. Throughout the years since high school I have had sports injuries, auto accidents, and just the wear and tear of life happen to my back. After years of trying different potential solutions, Dr. Alley completed one session of acupuncture, and I noticed immediate relief. Dr. Alley outlined a treatment plan, and with continued treatment my posture is improving, my back pain is lessening, and I am feeling a lot healthier. Acupuncture is a game-changer in my life and I am recommending it to be consider to all my friends and family. I wanted to make sure that others heard my results, so that if you are not finding relief from other methods, I want to encourage you to just talk to Dr. Alley about what it possibly could do for you. I cant recommend Dr. Alley enough through one review.

7 years ago I had a cervical fusion surgery at the C5-C6 level, due to a herniated disc. The surgery was done correctly, but as a result of the surgery, the muscles in my neck were no longer working properly. Some muscles in my neck were in a constant state of spasm, causing pain. The pain was significant enough that I had to substantially cut down, and in some cases cut out completely, on the physical activities I had been doing for years. This went on for 5 years, until Gretchen, the massage therapist began working on my neck, upper back, and shoulders. At the time, I really didnt think massage was going to work. I was out of doctors and options, so out of desperation I gave it a chance. Initially, the improvements were short in duration, but they were extremely effective. After time, however, the benefits of Gretchens massage therapy had quickly grown in longevity. Slowly I was able to get back to the physical activities I love to participate in. Gretchen is very in tune with what my issues are and how to treat them with massage. With screws and a plate connecting my C5-C6 together, I know my body wont be quite the same, but with regular visits, Gretchen has got me back to a much better place. I highly recommend Gretchen as a massage therapist.

Ive needed chiropractic care many times over the years. I think we all do at some point in our lives. This summer we were going through a moving process and I strained my neck and shoulder area. I was in so much pain, I wanted to cry. After several months of going to a different chiropractor I realized I was not happy with the care I had been receiving. I was desperate and decided to try somewhere different. I read reviews and that is what led me to make an appointment with Schaffnit Chiropractic. I took the first appointment available and saw Dr. Jane Alley. OH MY GOD!!!! Dr. Alley was FABULOUS! Her adjustments are so much more precise and beneficial than any I have received from previous chiropractors. She is super engaging and you can tell that she truly cares about how you feel and knows exactly what it will take to get you to a better place. In one day I was already feeling great relief. In a few weeks I was feeling completely renewed and pain free. I continue to see her monthly to make sure I am on track. I love getting adjusted and feel that its essential to good health and it also really helps my immune system. Go see her today!

Lina is a really great massage therapist and always makes me feel better. I have been seeing her once a month for quite some time now and she is always very good at listening to my concerns and addressing my tense muscles. With the combination of Dr. Blake and Lina I have been able to feel a lot better each month and I have been able to work out or play frisbee 4-5x a week due to their care. I highly recommend Lina as a massage therapist for her attention to detail and her ability to make you feel better each time you go to see her. I have been going to Dr. Blake for a little while now and have really enjoyed the care I have received from him. He is the first chiropractor that I have ever gone to and he has always been very understanding and attentive to my chiropractic care. I started to feel better soon after I saw Dr. Blake for the first time and I highly recommend his office for your chiropractic care. Dr. Blake and his massage therapist Lena are awesome and can definitely make a positive difference in your life, and will help you get on the right path to feeling a lot better physically and mentally!

I separated from the Marine Corps on the 25th of August 2016 and when I moved back to Illinois I was still recovering from injuries I sustained while deployed to Afghanistan. I was dealing with constant severe lower back pain as well as recovering from surgery due to a labral tear. When I realized the VA was not cutting it in terms of proper medical treatment I sought out Dr. Schaffnit. My decision to see Dr. Schaffnit for physical therapy was a well thought out decision and I thank my accelerated recovery to him. When I first met him I was glad to know that he was military friendly and a person accustom to dealing with young athletes as myself. Hes a well educated professional and each session he made sure I understood anatomically why I was doing certain exercises as well as paying close attention to how I performed each exercise. He also, reviewed my MRIs with me and pointed out how other medical personnel could make mistakes on a diagnosis. It was worth every penny to see Dr. Schaffnit and I cannot thank him enough for helping me progress well beyond my expectations for recovery!

Schaffnit Chiropractic is the BEST ! I have been to many and finally found the one person that helped me move my neck and back freely for good. In addition, he is an educator. Dr. Blake wants you to strengthen everything in order to maintain the muscle in order to feel better. The last practice I went to used a Pro adjustor and did nothing but make me feel better for 20 minutes. Dr. Blake gave me the treatment and education I needed to become pain free. He said after 5 treatments I would be moving again, then to maintain I would see him once a month if I needed him. That is exactly what happened. He is the type of doctor that had a plan, educates his patients (like myself) to get to the road of recovery. I highly recommend this full practice to anyone. He has my permission to give out my phone number as a referral.

My wife and I were referred to Dr. Schaffnit by friends of ours that had been seeing him for quite awhile. I had been dealing with recurring lower back pain and had been going to a different chirpractor, that just wasnt really making any difference. Dr. Schaffnit not only adjusted my back to the point of no discomfort after a few visits, but also gave me a detailed exercise plan that has helped tremendously. He reviews where I am with this plan each time I see him and the results so far have been awesome. He also has a massage therapist that does exactly what she is supposed to and makes my muscles feel like a million bucks! I would definitely recommend Dr. Schaffnit to anyone that has not received the results they want from their current chirpractor, as well as any new patient just looking to find a real professional.
