In January 2013 I was in so much pain I couldn't stand it! Finally I decided to get help. After searching the internet for the BEST chiropractor in the Loop I was lead to Advanced Care for Chiropractic, Acupuncture, & Nutrition "The Complete Chiropractic Wellness Center". I am very picky and expect the most advanced sophisticated care when choosing a provider. Unfortunately, in my experience, finding the best comes from trial and error. Visiting partitioners and being disappointed before moving on. Not only is the process of finding an amazing practitioner frustrating and time consuming, it's expensive!!! After reading the amazing reviews about Dr. Luban and his staff on yelp I thought it was worth the risk and scheduled my appointment. I cannot emphasize enough how quickly my request for information was met. The connivence of online appointment requests is unmatched! I sent an email on a Wednesday requesting a appointment for that Friday. DONE! Not only did they meet my window for the appointment time I requested, Dr. Luban personally responded to my emails and made the time frame I requested work. Dr. Luban also took the time (including multiple back and forth emails) to answer all of my questions and address all of my concerns. I walked into my initial appointment suffering from sleep disturbance, awful headaches, and daily pain with honestly low expectations. After all, I have been in and out of chiropractors offices for many years with mediocre results, so a quick fix to just get by is all I really hoped for. I had no idea that I could have such lasting concurrent relief from my pain, sleep disturbance and headaches! After 3 or 4 sessions with Dr. Luban and Shelly (the best therapeutic massage therapist ever) I was no longer having daily headaches or waking up in the night due to pain in my neck and back. If is sounds unbelievable I understand!!! It seemed unbelievable to me and I was living it!! Now I go in as needed with the intense pain relieved I can space out my appointments. I cannot express the freedom and wellbeing I have experienced since my first appointment! I am very interested and excited to start using the other services offered at Advanced Care for Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Nutrition. Specifically Acupuncture to aid in hormonal balance. I no longer have "low expectations" I have results that speak loudly! I am not just getting by.... I am getting well!!! I cannot recommend more highly Dr. Luban! He is a magician with the body and makes pain go away... far far away. If I wasn't living it I wouldn't believe it! I cannot recommend more highly Shelly the Therapeutic Massage Therapist-Healer. She is suburb in aiding your muscles to release and align to their optimal place in your body. I cannot recommend more highly RN/Office Manger Nancy who know's your health insurance benefits better than you can ever hope to. Her knowledge, smile, openness and charismatic personality is unbeatable! 5 stars are not enough. This is the place if you are searching for freedom from pain, overall wellness and a true road map to health! read more

I have been going to this Chiropractic Office on and off for 11 years now; I first started when I was working in the downtown area; I would go on my lunch break once a week for Dr Luban; now I go once a month for Dr Luban, I used to do twice a week for Shelley (30 min & 1hr session) now every week for Shelly (Massage Therapy, 1 hr) & now once a week for Michael (Physical Therapy, 1hr). I have low back, hip and neck pain; I am still experiencing pain, but it is partially due to my lack of daily exercise; discouraged that I didn't see or feel any results, Dr Luban suggested I see The Massage Therapist regularly before coming to him; that was one of the best decisions I ever made! I have been seeing Shelly six years now & I call her "Gifted Hands"! Still a little frustrated with my health, Shelly suggested I see Micheal; the new addition to the group was the missing link for my journey to recovery!!! These guys all work hand in hand; some patients need just one, while others may need two or three of The Staff; I think this Practice has a wonderful working team! Dr Luban, Shelly & Michael; This team genuinely cares about it's client's health and welfare; giving advice and suggestions based upon individual needs; and the Office Manager (Nancy) keeps everyone on their toes & keeps everything in order! I am truly blessed to have such wonderful Health Care Providers at this Office and in my life. read more

Dr. Lubin and his team are fantastic! I started coming here at the beginning of my second trimester of pregnancy - i was having terrible back pain and nothing was helping. I hadn't even realized it was safe to see a chiropractor while pregnant until I started doing some research. Their office is really low-key, but conveniently located in the loop, and Dr. Lubin, Shelly (the amazing massage therapist) and Nancy are so kind and friendly. After a few weeks of visits with Shelly and Dr. Lubin, my backpain disappeared completely and I felt great through the rest of my second and third trimester. I missed about a month of treatments because I felt so good, and just started going again with about a month left till my due date since my hips and legs have been bothering me. The massages have been especially amazing at this point, and just getting realigned. My baby has also been perfectly positioned and I've carried really well, and I attribute a lot of that to Dr. Lubin and Shelly making sure there's enough space for baby to move and get comfortable. Highly recommend for pregnancy!! read more

Dr. Luban is simply amazing at his work. I was in chronic back pain for about four months due to overstraining myself while doing squats on the machine. I didn't even feel pain during the exercise so I didn't stop but the next morning when I woke up I was in extreme pain - like a 9/10 where 10 is the worst. I simply couldn't move and just laid in bed. After many sessions of numbing the pain with ice I eventually made it out to see a different chiropractor. This guy was nice but he didn't have a clue what he was doing so I stopped seeing him and lost hope. Months later I heard about Dr. Luban and decided to go visit him. Literally after two visits I could already feel the pain going away. The manual adjustment with his hands and the Pro-Adjuster machine did the trick. Just before this point I had forgotten what it felt like to be without pain. The relief is amazing and I am so grateful for chiropractic care and especially for Dr. Luban. I would say that if your back is misaligned and you are experiencing pain, you must go see him. You will be very happy that you did. read more

I am a male 42 year old that has a family history of back problems. I have had severe sciatica pain for around 2 years and have visited other Chiropractic doctors over the last 5 years. My MRI shows that I have problems with my L4 and L5 disks. I am "simply put" terrified of needles so have been reluctant to try acupuncture. After some research and finding other reviews here on Yelp, I decided to make an appointment with Dr Luban. My symptoms have been pain in the lower back going to my left side down my hip, down the hamstring area, down my calf into my foot and toes. Burning and tingling sensations for years. After my first treatment with Dr Luban, I was not only able to get over the needle fear very quickly, but my pain was reduced by 80% when I left the office on Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning, I was amazed how I could bend over freely with NO PAIN!!! Don't let yourself suffer with pain any longer, make an appointment with Dr Luban for a profession, proven pain relief procedure. Thank you Dr Luban!! Carlos Diaz read more

Dr. Luban is an awesome chiropractor. I saw big improvements with my back in just 2 visits. I had alot of burning and pain in the middle of my back and shoulder and neck pain as well due to long periods of sitting at my computer at work. I feel much better. I usually take 500 mg of aspirin a day, I haven't had to take any since I've been coming to Dr. Luban. I appreciate he and his staff professionalism and going the extra mile to explain things to me about the insurance end of the business and unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. Also, I enjoyed the therapeutic massages tremendously by Shelly. Little different than what I'm use to getting but the results were fantastic. Shelly was able to work alot of pain and tension I had built up in my shoulders and neck from sitting. Shelly does an excellent job.Thanks guys! for your patience and kindness toward me. Much Appreciated:-) read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Luban. Everything about my experience at his office was excellent, from his ability and willingness to squeeze me into an already busy schedule, to his friendly receptionist, to the convenient location - it was all great. But what really impressed me was his quick and accurate assessment of my injury and then his patience and expertise in treating it. I went to Dr. Luban unable to run at all. He treated my hamstring pull with deep tissue massage and ultrasound therapy and I literally ran the Miami Half Marathon a few days later. (I had been training for months and was devastated that I might not be able to participate.) A friend had recommended him, and given my condition, I was in no position to question her suggestion. I'm so glad I didn't. Dr. Luban saved the day! read more

I have seen Dr. Luban through 2 of my 3 pregnancies. With both, seeing Dr. Luban regularly helped immensely with back pain and pelvic alignment. Dr. Luban also helped me go into labor. With both pregnancies I saw Dr. Luban the day I went into labor. The first time my waters broke right after my adjustment and the second time I started having contractions on my way home from his office. Both labors and deliveries were relatively short and easy. I truly believe that Dr. Luban helped my body prepare for birth and delivery. He helped my pelvis relax and helped my babies get into the best positions possible. I highly recommend Dr. Luban for anyone expecting a baby who wants to gently and effectively prepare their body and their baby for a smooth delivery. read more

I sat down to write about an amazing, healing, energy receiving and purging massage I received from Shelly at Dr. Luban's office and saw the description for the 5 star review. It reads "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" I have been "dealing" (suffering) from lower back and hip pain for 22 years since I delivered mail. Shelly explained to me how my body and muscles were working (straining) against each other as a result of being out of symmetry from years of being off kilter a well as years of long commutes. THEN SHE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I have been getting chiropractic and massage for decades and have never once had a massage as healing as the one given by Shelly. Woohoo! Shelly is As Good as it gets! I am so thankful for your help!! read more

I brought my 11 yr old daughter to Dr. Luban to treat her for her huge list of food sensitivities with his BAX 3000 system. We didn't know if it would work or how well it would work but after ONLY 3 (of the 6) allergy treatments she is already able to eat all of the foods she's had to avoid for the past 5 years!!! She is so excited to finally be able to eat "normal" foods. She's also, now, not as sensitive to fragrances - which is awesome. I'll be bringing her back in for the last 3 sessions when she's not in school. Now I want to bring my 7 yr old son in for the treatments since he's now exhibiting similar food sensitivities. Thank you Dr. Luban! read more

I can't thank Dr Luban enough for relieving me from my years old back pain(that I had been wrongly crediting to weakness or my bad posture) in just a couple of adjustments. He took his time figuring out the cause of the pain which was the soreness caused by one of my back joints. I walked out feeling instantly better and returned for my next adjustment the second day with 90% improvement. I like the fact that he treats the problems and not the symptoms unlike my past treatments where I had my X-rays done that didn't show any issues and thus I was put on pain killers. Dr Luban is a very competent professional and I would highly recommend him. read more

Suffering from muscle spasms in my lower back, I was recommended to see Dr. Luban by my university's health center. I saw Dr. Luban weekly for about two months + and am leaving this semester without pain or discomfort, as well as more awareness of my spine/posture and the negative impacts of daily life. I have been to chiropractors before, and so the procedures (spine adjustment, rolling table, etc.) weren't anything new to me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable I felt and how much Dr. Luban and his staff cared about my well being! Dr. Luban and his staff are professional and kind. read more

Dr Luban has really help me get some of my movement back in my shoulder, I have a small tear in my rotator cuff, bursitis and tendinitis all in one shoulder also a pinched nerve in my neck so it was really hard for me to do normal every day things I could lift or reach above my head. I had problems getting a good night sleep due to the pain, not to mention the pain was in my left shoulder and I'm left handed. I have been going to physical therapy twice a week for three weeks with very little results but after just 2 visits with Dr Luban I was able to reach over my head and get some restful sleep. read more

This was my first time seeing a chiropractor. I had been experiencing headaches for years and was not having any luck finding a solution. After my first visit with Dr. Luban, my headaches became less frequent. After a few weeks, I became headache free. From the very first visit, Dr. Luban does a great job of understanding your issues, explaining what is causing them and coming up with a solution. In a short amount of time, I went from almost daily headaches to no headaches at all. I wish I would have gone to Dr. Luban sooner than I did, because I would have avoided a lot of headaches. read more

When I came in the first time, I felt horrible. My neck hurt really bad; my back had been very achy... Just aches and pains all over. But this is an excellent staff to work with. Dr. Luban really listens to everything I say to pinpoint where my problem comes from and what to do to help solve it. Shelly is amazing with the therapeutic massage. You put both together and you feel great altogether. And Nancy always greets you with a great smile every time :) I will be coming here for as long as I can because I feel great! I definitely recommend visiting Dr. Luban's office. You won't regret it! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Luban, but hadn't been in for an appointment for quite some time. I came in the office about 2 weeks ago, just as things started opening up, with severe back and shoulder issues from the past 3 months of being in the house. Everything was clean and masked donned for my appointment. Dr. Luban assessment my current conditions and got to work. Fast forward, yesterday had my 6th appointment and I'm feeling so much better. Pain is subsiding, stiffness almost gone and mobility I incredibly improved. Thank you Dr. Luban for getting me back to normal! read more

After researching my insurance for an acupuncture chiropractic clinic, I was quite impressed with the website and reviews. Impressed became a reality when I met the professionals, Dr. Michael, SHelly, the massage therapist and Nancy in reception. My appointments have been successful in the arrest of a prior ankle break, recurring inflammation. I felt immediate relief and am receiving both therapeutic massage and treatment. THe entire staff is delightful and I could not be more satisfied. Try them, you will LIKE them. read more

Dr. Luban is a very knowledgeable and caring chiropractor. As a marathon runner, it's important to me to keep my body in the best shape possible. With monthly visits to Dr. Luban, I am able to keep my running routine. He is an amazing listener and addresses my concerns. I am a firm believer that if you take care of your body, your body takes care of you. I take care of my body by seeing Dr. Luban for adjustments. He is a top notch medical professional who truly cares about his patients. read more

Dr. Michael Luban gave me my first chiropratic adjustment today after yrs and yrs of back injury, soreness, knots, and my back being locked up. I hurt myself lifting a couple heavy boxes at work and the next thing I knew my neck was out of wack and I couldn't feel my fingers. Needless to say I was very concerned. I will definitely be back for further adjusting. I have never felt so much relief at once! Go to the pedway at 25 E Washington and see Dr. Luban for all your chiropratic needs! read more
