Doctors Joe and John are top of the line. I was referred to IPM Joliet by a friend when I got tired of dealing with my chronic low back pain. Where other chiropractors suggested an eternal treatment regimen of never-ending adjustment and homeopathic supplements, Dr. Joe had the stones to suggest that perhaps my problem was my sedentary lifestyle and my awful physical health. Fair enough. The man was right. I had gone to IPM to get chiropractic adjustments and ended up with a physical therapy regimen that has changed me forever. Rather than treating flare-ups, I am doing daily stretches and exercises that are preventative and have considerably strengthened my core. My back still bothers me every once in a while, but now it lasts less than a day instead of a week or more. The staff at IPM Joliet are terrific. Every single one of them is friendly and helpful. Lauren and Angie at the front desk are always smiling and I was always greeted warmly by Tori, Jamie, Nichole, Arianna (whom I called Agnes because thats just too many syllables when Im exercising), and Jack the Intern. They are always willing to provide any service you need and are extremely flexible with scheduling. After several weeks my treatment plan was completed and I parted ways with Doctors Joe and John, knowing full-well that I can return should i ever require their terrific services again. One last thing: These guys are cool. On my last day, Dr. John agreed to let me pump my own tunes during my therapy session - a strangle and wonderful Japanese heavy metal band called BABYMETAL! Although Arianna expressed her lack of love for the band, John is a man of his word and I finished with flair. You will never find a more friendly, more professional, more dedicated group of people than the team at IPM Joliet. Tell them I sent you, and mention BABYMETAL to Arianna. :-)

Ive been to IPM of Joliet for two different issues, and both times I was incredibly impressed by my entire experience. The front-of-office staff are friendly and extremely professional. Every interaction with them was positive, and I felt like I was important to them. I got their full attention, and they were compassionate and kind. Nothing bothers me more than walking into an office and being turned off by the attitude of the folks making the first impression. At IPM of Joliet, the first impression is first rate! In regards to medical treatment, for both issues, from initial consultation to final visit, I felt like every step along the way was customized to me. Thats how physical therapy and chiropractic care should feel, but I have experienced enough mediocre, cookie-cutter care to know what it feels like to have doctors and physical therapists pay attention to your unique needs. I was always aggressively pushed to maximize my time, but I also knew that, if I was having an off day or in pain for any reason, they would know how to adjust the pace and intensity of my program. While I was cared for primarily by Dr. Joe, Dr. John, Kelsey, and Dani all took part as needs required. The entire staff are so in-sync with one another that any one of them could have taken care of me, and I would have felt like my program would have remained on track. The few times when it did happen, my progress was never negatively impacted. I cannot recommend IPM of Joliet more strongly.

I had been having a worsening condition in my lower back for almost 2 years. My doctor recommended getting the problem evaluated and doing physical therapy as a first step. I chose Integrated Physical Medicine Joliet after an extensive search on line and contacted them. One nice perk immediately, was the ability to download and fill out all the forms I would need for beginning the evaluation process and treatment plan before I got to their office. The X-ray of my lower back revealed some arthritis and dislocation. Dr. Joe was the staff member who took my case. He believed he could help me and set up a physical therapy program for my back. After seeing my X-rays, I was skeptical to say the least! However, it turns out I was wrong and Dr. Joe was correct. My physical therapy, spine adjustments and stimulation were expertly designed and administered. We started out slowly and added weight and exercise routines gradually throughout the entire process. I was AMAZED that I went from having a lot of pain and much difficulty to even move, especially in the morning, to hardly any pain and much improved mobility. Going to Integrated Physical Medicine was the right thing for me. The entire staff is very professional and nice. Their concern for the patient throughout the entire treatment plan was obvious. The facility is clean, well equipped and welcoming. Im sure I will continue my association with them for a long, long time. Robert Mitzel

My experience with IPM of Joliet was great! I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Joe and the staff that supports him and the other doctors. The fact is that I came in to IPM with a shoulder injury that was preventing me from doing CrossFit. I had pain in my shoulder, specifically in my rotator cuff that was limiting my range of motion, my stability, and my overall strength with overhead lifts. I struggled with this issue becoming progressively worse for about 2 months before i went in for my consultation. Dr. Joe was able to diagnose the very likely issues with my shoulder within a day and began treatment and therapy immediately. The second day that I arrived at IPM, my options were presented to me regarding the extent of treatment I would like to approach and the associated costs. Following my decision to proceed with treatment and physical therapy, Dr. Joe was willing to start that moment. I was told that most likely I would be done with my treatment in 8-12 sessions. I was released following my 10th session after a closeout discussion I had with Dr. Joe. The main focus for this review is to express to others who are considering Physical Therapy that Dr. Joe and the IPM staff are focused on their patients, very detail oriented, and honest about the progress and status of the treatment. It was very comforting being a patient at IPM and I would recommend it to anyone!

I have been going to IPM for so long, its like visiting family. I have had chronic pain and discomfort in my hand and wrist since 2005. I have been through a number of doctors and physical therapy centers. Nowhere has come close to the experience with Dr. John and Dr. Joe and their staff. I have seen measurable strengthening and pain reduction in the care plans I have completed. Physical therapy is one-on-one and they keep you on your toes. Dr. John will push you, and he will tell you that straight up. If you put in the work and follow his plan, it pays off. You want to keep coming back because of the results and the respected treatment you get. Appointments are flexible with still working a full day and are great with a friendly reminder of your appointment. I have nothing but wonderful praises for them and have recommended anyone with something bothering them. For me, this has been a natural way to fight my pain with getting stronger, not hiding the pain where it could just increase. The front girls are great and Kelsy is great at PT. I have to mention the talented massage staff. I feel bad when people say they have never had a massage. I couldnt go without now. Working it hard and complimenting it with massage is going to keep me working while keeping my pain level manageable.
