Patient Stories

Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Patient Testimonial

Gayle has been suffering from severe sciatica and lower back pain off and on for over 50 yrs from mild pain to almost unbearable pain. Gayle says “when I leave after treatments my back feels wonderful, with time, I’m hoping it will stay that way. I couldn’t be happier with every person there. How so many capable and just plain nice people got together, I don’t know; but I sure am glad they did-and I found them. I heard about 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic from my son who was in worse pain then I was. He is now at zero pain. He had tried everything for relief and nothing worked until he came to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. His success helped me come over my misgivings. I’m glad I did.”

Forearm Pain Patient Testimonial

Karen’s initial reason for coming to 21st Century was constant moderate pain in her right forearm. Karen says “the pain appeared gradually over a 6-month period. It prevented me from sleeping at night and it was necessary to take prescription medication to get relief. Approximately three years ago I had surgery and immediately after the surgery, I began experiencing muscle aches and joint stiffness throughout my body. No other Doctor could figure out what was wrong. Since coming to 21st Century for treatment on my forearm for about 6 weeks-much to my surprise the body pain is also improving. This was totally unexpected for me. The pain in my forearm reduced by approximately 75%.

Arm Pain Patient Testimonial

Aysegul was unable to use her left arm. She was told by her previous chiropractor she needed lots of exercise to heal her arm. Aysegul says “I was in a great deal of pain. I was unable to do my studies, couldn’t do any homework, couldn’t study for more then 15 minutes at a time, etc. For about 10 weeks my left arm was totally disabled from the shoulder. I had developed a form of frozen shoulder due to some nerve injuries. I started my therapy at Dr. Helwig’s office on Dec. 12, 2008 and by Jan. 16, 2009 I was 90% pain free, my life turned back to normal, my shoulder range of motion improved greatly. The doctors and the physical therapist teamed up to coordinate a unique therapy for my shoulder that made a huge difference. The office is very impressive they have the latest technology. Everybody on staff participates in a conflict-free, highly efficient & productive teamwork, and to top it off they are all good and decent people giving 110% care and attention to make a difference.

Scoliosis Patient Testimonial

Alice was referred to our office from an existing patient at 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. She has been to another chiropractor several years ago who only offered massage, no DTS or EMS. Alice says “the scoliosis was bothering me more, more pain, hard to stand straight.” She tried water aerobics but didn’t feel much difference. She says “the pain interfered in some degree. I find myself sitting in between routines. I noticed improvement fairly soon after receiving treatment from 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. I know there is no cure for scoliosis, but I feel good coming here and I feel good when I leave. I could definitely tolerate doing my daily routines without sitting as much in between. It all feels wonderful. The adjustment, DTS, massage plus the staff is friendly. I also feel like walking is a little easier. I would absolutely recommend anyone to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic.

Back Pain Patient Testimonial

Algis was referred to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic from his dad who is a patient at 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. He has never been to a chiropractor. He came to the office because he couldn’t walk due to back pain. Algis tried massage therapy before coming into the office. The pain was so bad that it would interfere with his job. After receiving treatment from 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic Algis felt better within the first 2 treatments. He was able to walk, take care of laundry and do dishes. Algis says “everyone at the office is personable and attentive. I would refer friends and family members to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic because they take x-rays and go over patient history where other places would manipulate without knowing exactly what’s going on."

Leg and Feet Pain Patient Testimonial

Before coming to 21st Century she tried pain killers, x-rays, and regular medical doctor visits. After receiving just 6 treatments from 21st Century she noticed an improvement.

Back Pain and Diabetic Neuropathy Patient Testimonial

Edward was referred to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic from a friend of his that was also a patient here. He had been to another chiropractic office. Edward says “the other office had 1/10th of the machines that we have. 21st does more work on patients than the other office did.” Edward had low back pain and diabetic neuropathy on the left side. He would take medicine and pain killers to help the pain. Edward says “I still had to do the errands that had to get done, so I walked with a cane. After receiving treatment I can try on shoes, dress more quickly, and I am able to walk without a cane. I have already and will continue to refer people to 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. Many people feel that the chiropractor doesn’t have what they need to get better. Many chiropractors only have the adjustment, not all the therapies that 21st Century has to offer. I feel that people will never know until they come in and see for themselves.”

Back Pain Patient Testimonial

Selma heard about 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic from her husband. She has been to different chiropractors before she heard about 21st Century Oak Lawn Chiropractic. She said the other chiropractic office was much different than 21st Century. The didn’t have all the equipment, and no physical therapy. Because of her back problems she tried chiropractic and pills. “Selma says the back pain interfered with her daily routine.” After receiving treatment from 21st Century for about a week and a half she started to feel better. She can sit and walk for longer periods of time and she can carry heavy things again. Selma says what she enjoys most is the friendly staff and she is getting the care she needs. She feels better overall and is not as tired as she used to be. She would recommend 21st Century to friends and family.
