Meet our patient Andrea! She is now walking, moving, exercising!

Andrea: Hi. My name is Andrea. I’ve been coming to Strelcheck’s office for about six, seven months now, I think. Dr. Pete’s my doctor. He’s helped me a lot. I came in pain, couldn’t even walk, keeling over. Now, I’m walking, moving, exercising, doing everything I needed to do before. Everyone in the office is great. Everyone’s very friendly. They all remember your name when you walk in, even if it hasn’t been a while since you’ve been here. We love everybody. We’re happy here. I will definitely keep coming back and refer Dr. Pete to everybody.

Lower Back Pain Treatment

Lower Back Pain Treatment, Transforming Your Health for Life Hi, my name is Mike Mitchell. I am the owner of Ridgefield Hardwood Floors in Crystal Lake. Due to the nature of my job and an accident that left me with 3 fused vertebrae, I have had lower back pain and nerve pain in both legs and from time to time pain in my left arm & shoulder. I had gone to other chiropractors, but only got relief for short periods of time. I knew things were getting really bad when I could hardly pull my car door closed and I had to hold my ribs whenever I sneezed or coughed. My lower back pain was constant. I was taking 6 to 10 pain pills a day and spending hours in hot tubs. I could hardly sleep and was not much fun to be around. During this time, Dr. Daniel and his wife were building a house and we met in our showroom. Dr. Daniel took one look at the way I was walking and suggested that I come to his office for an evaluation. I felt so bad, that I decided to give a go. The next day I went in for the evaluation and was greeted by two professional receptionists and within minutes I was being x-rayed by another professional. During my report, Dr. Daniel came up with a plan to get rid of my lower back pain and promised me that within a prescribed amount of time, treatments and massages, that my lower back pain would be gone. This sounded too good to be true. I can tell you that after two weeks of treatments my back pain began to subside and was getting less severe. After one month, I was playing golf without pain. After six weeks, I have no lower back pain, my ribs do not hurt when I sneeze, I once again have power in my arm, and I don’t take pain pills anymore. I have a better lifestyle and I’m back to my old self. Thank you Dr. Daniel and staff

Patient of the Month, Jenn L.

Daniel: Hi, I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck with Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic. Welcome to our patient of the month Jenn Lachel. Jenn: Hi, I am Jenn Lachel. I have unfortunately been dealing with severe headaches, migraines, upper neck pain, shoulder pain for most of my adult life. It has not only affected me physically but emotionally as well. And I heard through word-of-mouth a friend of mine recommended me Dr. Daniel and I started seeing him last summer and I was well skeptical at first and I could not be happier with the decision I made to start seeing Dr. Daniel. Since last summer my headaches and migraines have reduced significantly. My upper neck pain and shoulder pain has also reduced significantly. I honestly feel great and it sounds kind of cheesy but my emotional state has also changed enormously. My daily attitude is 10 times better than it was and so I owe a huge thank you to Dr. Daniel and the whole office; the massage therapist and the great staff for just taking the time to help me. Thank you very much! Daniel: For a healthy and happy life, I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck. Jenn: And I am Jenn Lachel.

Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic Patient, Maria, Crystal Lake IL

My name is Maria Mitchum and I started coming here around mid-April because for the last five years I have been having really bad pains in my right leg. I was having lower back pains, headaches and neck aches. I had seen a doctor for all of this and I was diagnosed with a condition. He wanted to start me on a regiment of steroids, a treatment with steroids. Along with the steroids there were other medications to counteract the effects and I really didn’t want to do that. At the time I was taking care of my father and this one, she’s just two, she was just born and I read about the side effects of steroids and mood swings, I wasn’t going to deal with that. My son was already seeing Dr. Strelcheck and he kept telling me: “You have to see a chiropractor.” He didn’t want me to take this medication and I didn’t want to do it either. I dealt with my problems taking Advil at night so I could sleep because I was having a really hard time sleeping at night with the pain. Finally I decided I am going to do it, I’m going to come see the doctor. I never saw a chiropractor, I was seeing my rheumatologist and he is the one… He’s a great doctor don’t get me wrong at Northwestern but when he said this is what I needed to do in order to get my condition under control, I really didn’t want to go that route and when my son recommended this doctor, I said why not? Let me give it a shot. The treatments have been helping tremendously. I used to go up and down the stairs like a baby almost; one foot then the next, one foot then the next and now I can even run up and down the stairs. It’s amazing!
