I had an appointment with Dr. Chala to look at knee pain I've been having for 6 weeks. He did a thorough exam, and ordered an MRI which I got done within 45 min just down the hall. Then I saw him right after the MRI to diagnose the problem and he proceeded to order a cortisone shot and physical therapy. I got the shot before I left the office.

Hard to say "I look forward to going back" when it comes to a doctor's office but in this case I think it's fair to say!

My back has never been the same since Amy dry needled it…read more Amy dry needled the femoral nerve in my back per her suggestion and got an extreme reaction on my left but not on my right side which created a noticeable imbalance in tension and muscle density that I brought up to her during our next session which she did not address or remedy. Since then my back has never felt the same and the imbalance caused a serious injury that has forced me to retire as a competitive athlete in a sport that was my whole life. My back will likely never be the same and I will require surgery in the future. If I could go back in time I would have never let Amy dry needle me, it is one of the biggest regrets of my life and will haunt me forever. If they offer to dry needle you here please think twice as the effects can be life altering and permanent

The facility is clean and welcoming. There's plenty of room for several people to be receiving services at the same time. The equipment is state of the art and well-maintained. I have been at TheraCORE as a PT patient as well as receiving therapeutic massages. I was extremely satisfied with the people at TheraCORE as well as the services that I received. They not only provide excellent treatment to you, but they can also support you with merchandise that will help you practice your exercises at home so that you can progress faster. The office staff is also at the top of their game. They are friendly and helpful. Did I mention that they also have a sense of humor? When you walk in you are greeted with a smile and you know that people are happy to be there. Well, the staff is happy to be there. If you are going in for a massage, you are also probably happy to be there. I know I am! However, if you are there for physical therapy, you may feel hesitant and dread going, because you know that the "physical terrorist" will put you through the paces. I have been there. I know exactly what that feeling is like. My experience at TheraCORE is that the physical therapist will guide you along your journey to recovery within a very systematic program. They know what they're doing and you will progress in logical increments according to your level of competence. They are also very good at listening to you and are respectful of your privacy as well as your feelings. They are sensitive to your needs and want to work with you as a partner for your optimal health. Follow TheraCORE on social media. They have posted exercises and suggestions for everyday activities as well as classes, like yoga. They also have promotions throughout the year for products and massages.

I scheduled a free 30-minute intro session at the Western Springs location hoping to see if this…read morecould help with overall health and wellness. I am not tight overall, rather hypermobile in most joints; however, I have been seeing PTs and massage therapists for targeted work on the few muscles that are over-worked due to due my hypermobility. I like that Stretch Zone is a drop-in option for days I might be having more pain, so I went to see if I might add this to my treatment options. My stretch-practitioner introduced himself by name and asked if I had an area of the body that I wanted to focus on, so I explained I had neck and left arm/hand pain and wished to focus there. He didn't given his qualifications, but mentioned he'd worked previously in a gym. I had read on-line that the practitioners complete a week-long training and are encouraged to have certifications in personal training and/or massage, but I am not sure if he did. Oddly, there was no medical history taken, which may have been helpful as I have both Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (joint hypermobility) and cancer, but I do not have cancer in my arm/neck, which is where we focused. The stretches were for the most part very basic and performed laying on my back or sitting up on the table. They were not like the targeted stretches provided by my PT or the massage therapists that I see, where they locate and work on the smaller muscles that are in spasm. Mostly he provided general stretches like "upper trap", "bicep" and "tricep". The trunk stretch felt good. Each stretch was performed 3 times, held for a certain amount of time. As my larger muscles are not tight, he was able to bring me to end-range in all joints, so I didn't experience a "stretch" but more of assisted movement, which was fine. Our session started late and the final minutes were used to explain the packages available for purchase- so I only received about 15-16 minutes of stretching, which was enough actually. I was hoping it was going to be more like a Thai massage, which I love, but it was more like just being moved through typical ranges of motion by someone very nice and attentive, but the work was not as precise as I was hoping for. The facility is clean. Free parking. Scheduling on-line was easy. I think if you are really tight and like having someone stretch you, this could be an option for you, but at $85 for a 30-minute session it may make more sense to book a PT or a massage therapist. My practitioner reminded me to hydrate and he recommended that I return weekly for stretch sessions. I will continue instead with my PT and massage therapists, which are more targeted and more cost-effective.

I live in LaGrange and I went to PT Solutions in La Grange. Samir was my Physical Therapist there. The quality of care that I received was outstanding. Last month I had my left knee replaced. I knew that I wanted to return to PT Solutions for my PT. When scheduling my appointments, I found out that Samir had moved to the Downer's Grove facility. Although the La Grange location was much more convenient for me, I knew that what was most important was working with Samir again. So now I am driving an extra 20 minutes to my appointments to do that. My recovery after surgery has been amazing. Samir is so thorough and listens to my concerns. He answers all my questions and is more that willing to adjust my therapy appointment based on my physical ability on any given day. I so appreciate his knowledge, dedication, and willingness to help. The staff at the Downer's Grove facility is also very helpful and friendly.
