Dr. Eickert improved my quality of life! I suffered from frequent neck and back pain as well as poor posture and joint stiffness. He took the time to go over my x-rays with me and explain why I was having these issues and how he was going to correct them. Through a combination of physical therapy routines and expert chiropractic adjustments, I felt and saw real, lasting results. As my physical health improved he adjusted my therapy routines to match. This kept the office visits enjoyable as there was always a new goal to reach. Dr. Eickert also has a fun personality, great sense of humor and is genuinely excited to help people live happier, healthier lives. To anyone with chronic pain or seeking chiropractic treatment, you owe it to yourself to see Dr. Eickert. My highest recommendation! Michele Gordon, a licensed massage therapist working at Dr. Eickerts office, is also fantastic! She has a great, fun personality and is very professional. Most importantly, her massages are top notch! I always feel relaxed and energized after one of her massages. Her technique is just the right balance of strong and relaxing, and she will customize each massage based on your feedback and what you are looking for that day. I highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for an outstanding massage therapist!

this could be a long story.... I was in afghanistan back in 2009-2010 (Army) i was injured during a rocket attack in bagram during that time. I have had Chronic Siatica since that time. in december 2016 i went to a virtural golfing place (i loved golf enough to play through the back pain)with some buddies and totally threw my back out. i couldnt sit stand or lay down my pain down my left let was worse then when i had been injured. since 2010 the VA just wanted to give me tramadol and other hard drugs for pain... no treatment whatsoever, actually they wouldnt even really diagnose me... so up until meeting Dr. Eickert all i knew was not to bend over or my left leg would kill me. Dr. Eickert showed me what a healthy spine should look like, took an xray of me and showed me the differences... i was shocked. my spine had almost no natural curve and that curve is what allows the nerves to fit where they are supposed to.... hence the pain. i did his physical therapy program, and i have to admit; after all of these years i was skeptical. but at the end of the day he fixed me, i golfed a 94 on sunday (close to personal best) and the difference this time is my back is fine... i am going once a week now for adjustments only and soon it will be just once a month. THANK YOU Dr. Eickert!!!!!!!!!!

I had been experiencing lower back pain for several years, but attributed it to years of working out and simply getting older. The pain level increased to the point where it was difficult to sit or stand for long periods of time. An MRI revealed bulging discs so I participated in several months of physical therapy through two prominent orthopedic offices. After experiencing no relief, I came across Higgins Physical Medicine and gave Dr. Eickert an opportunity to treat my back. This was the best decision I could have made. Within 2 months, my lower back felt significantly better and I am now able to stand and sit for long periods of time with little to no pain. The x-rays also showed the vast improvement to straightening the vertebrae in my lower back. I have and will continue to tell others to give Dr. Eickert an opportunity if they are experiencing lower back pain. I am a living testimony to his treatment program.

I have been to several Chiropractors since a very bad car accident in 1998, some good some bad and after moving to Illinois I did not know where to find a good one. I threw my lower back out about six weeks ago at work and it literally dropped me to my knees. After making several calls I found Dr. Eckert who was very supportive and was willing to see me that same day. I have been seeing him twice a week and working on strengthening my back and straightening my posture and I will have to say that my back has not had one problem since I started the program. I was skeptical at first but now I know for fact that my back is getting better. Dr. Eckert is also very specific when it comes to manipulation he wont just wrench your neck which I have had happen in the past from other Chiropractors. Dr. Eckert is friendly and a very good Chiropractor. I highly recommend him!

I went to see Dr. Eickert because I was having pain in my shoulder that just wouldnt go away. I wasnt quite sure what the source of my pain was and I didnt know what the treatment would be. Dr. Eickert explained to me the source of my pain and why it hadnt gotten better. The treatment involved more than short term pain relief but a program that would help me get better permanently. I recommend Dr. Eickert to anyone who has chronic pain or needs a chiropractor. He even surprised me a few times with little ailments he could fix. I was having discomfort in my lower chest. I was a little nervous as I thought it might be something internal. I mentioned it during one of my visits and Dr. Eickert checked it out and adjusted my rib. I had no idea that was a thing that could be adjusted but interestingly enough my pain went away.

Hands down, Dr. John Eickert is the only chiropractor I trust in the city to help make sure I am healthy & ready to run! Not only is Dr. Eickert and staff friendly and professional, but I felt that my diagnosis was being explained in a way that I could understand and the treatment plan was easy for me to follow. I have been to other Chiropractors and Physical Therapists in the past, but have not had the results I have seen with Dr. Eickerts help. After a few visits, the pain in my knee (which was so bad I could barely walk up stairs) is gone and I havent had any recurring flare ups thanks to the exercises I was given to strengthen at home. I have been going in for bi-monthly visits just because I love the energy I feel after an adjustment. Couldnt be more thankful to run pain-free again!
