Dr. Stoxen is for real. Honestly, I was skeptical. His accolades seemed too good to be true. But, I have suffered from numerous health issues and seen a neurologist and most recently a vascular surgeon due to having Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I've been to chiropractors, an acupuncturist and Chinese Herbologist. The latest recommendation from my medical team was for three months of physical therapy and if that didn't work: surgery. We decided that it was worth a shot. What could be worse than a vascular surgeon taking out a rib or cutting a muscle in my neck? All of this seems so extreme, but I lost my voice, my arms go numb when I sleep, and I'm always in spasms. Sometimes I feel like I can't take in a proper breath. Dr. Stoxen spent three solid days treating me. I could not understand what could take hours and hours. The fact is that undoing the mess in my body can't be done in a 45 minute visit, even if it was multiple times a week for months. As soon as you feel improved, everything spasms right back up. Dr. Stoxen's approach is for the long haul. The massage machine he uses (and invented, and used on his many fascinating past clients) is like an inflammation power washer, driving all the junk out of your muscles and tissues. I feel better. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a major change in my health. I'm tired of doctor appointments and pain. read more

Dr Stoxen is perhaps the most qualified person in his field. Read his books! World renowned and sought after speaker worldwide. His knowledge of the body is well beyond anyone in the area and can diagnose issues most chiro totally ignore. He has treated me for several issues over a ten year period. Saved me from going under the knife for a shoulder issue. Went above and beyond to work with me after hours. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Team Doctors when I was living in Chicago at the Pulaski location, and Dr. James Stoxen and his team does an amazing job! They go above and beyond to make sure your injuries are strengthened and healed!!! Very important, as healing without the strength is useless because it will get injured again!! Have to share my experience as I hope someone that needs proper healing and strength training will experience the same results. Started training for the Golden gloves in 04 and my hyper extended right elbow from the high school days of wrestling started to bother me to a point where I could not fully extend it and having pain after practice daily. Was referred to Doctor Stoxen from my coach and went there the very next day after practice, to keep it short my elbow was fully functional along with the strength training that I received from Doc to go on and win the Chicago Golden Gloves my first year in boxing. I highly recommend Team Doctors and will come visit when in town!! Thank you Team Doctors for everything you have done for me as the treatment and experienced I have received far exceeds what I paid!!!! read more

Thank you so much Dr Stoxen!!! A week ago I fell in a parking lot and my knee gave out. I thought it would take me six months to recover and I wouldn't be able to skate. Thank goodness I called you and a week later I can run around like I normally do and I skated three times last week. Your The Man!!!! Thank you for getting me back to all of my activities even while in treatment. read more

The Team Doctors location is right off the highway so I get off on Ohio, go a few blocks to Lasalle, a few lefts and Im in one of the two free parking lots they have with valet parking from 9 am - 10 pm. After treatment, valet brings my car, I get in, go down Ontario and Im on 94 heading home fast. It's a perfect in and out for my chiropractic tune ups. When I walked in I did not feel like I was in a doctors office but more like a top shelf health club. He has every piece of training equipment a health club has and free weights. The gym has to be about 25 feet by 40 feet or more with high ceilings and plenty of sunlight. I I went there because I had a sore neck and back. He saw my muscles were tight, gave me this incredible 30 - 45 minute full body massage with the Massage Assist he invented and at the end my pain was gone. I felt like I just did a great workout, the blood was rushing through me and my skin was red and warm. My legs felt lighter and I felt I got the spring back in my step. Through the entire time he applied the therapy he explained the science of inflammation which was causing my aches and pains and how it has an accelerated aging effect on all the other bodies systems like the brain, circulation system, moods, and my skin. When I was done, he asked me how I felt and I told him I felt great. He told me that was because that treatment flushed out the inflammation and stimulated my circulation. I got that. There is no way a hands on massage can duplicate what this of this massage device does. No way You know chiropractors and other therapists try to sell you the package and all that. He just told me that I should consider regular treatments to keep inflammation from aging me and just to to come back anytime when I needed it. I went back one more time and I was good to go. Two treatments. No package. No long treatment regime. He is my chiropractor for life. read more

Dr. Stoxen is very unique in the healthcare industry. He actually CARES about his patients, not just cashing your check! Combining his decades of experience, the amazing MassageAssist he designed, and his very strong hands, he worked wonders on me. I have thoracic outlet, a chronic pain condition, and my symptoms are nearly resolved after seeing him. I only wish I lived in Chicago so I could see him several times a week for a few months. I'm confident he could completely eliminate my symptoms if given enough time. read more

Without having to write a novel long review, I figured I would just get straight to the point. I had long feared chiropractors due to a bad experience with one during a whiplash recovery. But one day having done some heavy construction work recently (which is out of my normal scope), I had somehow injured myself and was in terrible pain. I couldn't use my left arm without feeling like a spear was being thrusted into my shoulder blade. For the first time in my life, I had to leave work and get professional help... It was THAT bad! This had brought me to come to Team Doctors and seek treatment by Dr. James Stoxen. When I arrived for my first visit and began to explain what I was dealing with, I figured that had a problem in one specific area of my body. Dr. Stoxen was adamant about educating me on something I never would have thought about that may have been another cause to the reason why I was there. He is very thorough and passionate about what he does. He made me feel comfortable with being there and showed urgency with treating me; however, didn't begin treatment until he did a little test first. That was to record my walk. Upon closer viewing of the way I walk, we discovered that I was walking improperly. Which after being shown this, I was astounded! Who would have known?? After this discovery and the approach for treatment, I had been relieved of about 60% of my pain within the first visit!! This is amazing!! Dr. Stoxen is an innovator in his industry, wielding a device that he created to assist him in his treatments. This device is nothing short of amazing. Visit after visit, I became increasing better and having far less pain. I am still being treated by the good doctor and each time I return, I have a smile on my face knowing that I am in good hands. Bottom line is, you have the best doctor in his field at your disposal, all you have to do is contact Dr. Stoxen and bring yourself closer to living pain free, all the while learning something about yourself and your body that you probably never knew! Thank you, Dr. Stoxen!! read more

Feeling brand new! Dr. Stoxen's Chiropractic treatment and pinpoint deep tissue has allowed me to gain full range of motion and mobility that I thought I'd never have again. read more

Dr Stoxen knows his business.... Your Body! He fully understands how the human body was intended to function and has proven it over and over again. He may come off straightforward, but I realize its for my good. I appreciate it, because I know he cares and I'm tired of "doctors" who "guess" and leave me more confused than when I arrived. His staff is very kind and a great balance for the experience. If you want results, then Team Doctors is where you need to go. read more

Complete waste of time and money. Dr proclaims he has the answers for lower back pain and has seen similar cases thousands of times and can assure help. Desperate for help as I was I wasted over two months before noticing that although my legs were lighter, that my lower back felt ZERO relief. He points to his pictures of boxers on the wall, and tries to sell his service this way that he knows what he is doing. He advises every patient that I saw come through the office into buying shoes he is partnered with which are ugly and don't do a thing. He has no staff so he double books appointments and wastes patients time. Sorry to have wasted all the time and out of pocket money I did for no relief. read more

Dr. Stoxen is a world class chiropractor. He looks at your health in whole and decides the best treatment. I have been to several chiropractors in my life and he is without a doubt, the best. Instead of putting you on obnoxious stimulators, you receive a deep tissue massage. Dr. Stoxen will talk to you to try to find out what caused the pain in the first place and gives you tools on how to avoid the problem again. He has worked with world class sports stars and musicians, he has lectured around the world and we get to have him in Chicago! I highly recommend Team Doctors and Dr. Stoxen himself for rapid, natural pain relief! read more

First you need to know that Dr. Stoxen can come off as an arrogant jerk. If you can get past that you are in for some good care. Some of the others who work with the doctor are very friendly and provide good care (some better than others), and hopefully training has improved some in terms of the consistency. The doctor is thorough, and actually does care about his patients and getting them to be as healthy as possible. If you have foot problems skip the podiatrist and come here. read more
