Dr. Joe is truly amazing. My husband went to him a few months ago in a lot of pain. My husband suffers from degenerative disc disease and sometimes his hip pops out of place which causes him a ton of pain. He was able to help my husband get back to normal life quickly. Onto me - I threw my back out a few weeks ago and just couldn't get myself out of pain so booked an appointment since I saw how much he helped my husband. Dr. Joe is seriously so kind and caring and is extremely gentle with his adjustments. I've always been a huge advocate for Chiropractors, but some of them I feel try to take advantage of people by trying to tell them they need to come in so often. Dr. Joe does not work like that, thankfully. He teaches you how to heal a lot of your pain on your own which I love. Doing what he taught me in conjunction with my appointments, he was able to get me feeling better extremely fast. I love that he combines various different types of therapy. My old Chiropractor only did adjustments, no massages, or anything else. Hands down Dr. Joe is better than my old Chiropractor by a landslide and combining different types of therapy have helped me so much. I wish I could be a walking billboard for him because he's just that amazing. If you are looking for a new Chiropractor, stop your search and call this place. Nancy, the office manager, is such a gem and so kind as well. read more

Dr Joe and his staff are awesome! I was referred to him by friends who have a long history of competitive running or dancing. We all stay pretty active but as we age it's become more difficult. He's smart and creative, using new techniques to help his patients. I came in complaining of hip pain, he figured out my lower back is causing the issue. Ladies as we age the pelvic floor becomes weak or the abs become distended, especially if you've had kids or hernias or abdominal surgeries. The body is really all a connected unit so if pain is felt in one location the cause could be coming from somewhere else. Dr Joe will figure it out! He recommends exercises for strengthening and stretches for in between appts. After a massage and adjustment I'm good as new. I started a few months ago with appts every week, now I'm down to weekly, hopefully I can get down to monthly soon. My hip and back feel so much relief and I haven't had to reduce my activity level. read more

Dr Joe has seen me for random issues in the past, but this time I had strained my lower back on a long flight. The challenge was I had a Spring break golf trip planned for South Carolina 2 weeks later. I needed to get better quick. He helped me over 3 appointments with heated message and minor adjustments, along with some exercises. Good news! I just finished 36 holes on Kiawah Island!! Thanks Joe. read more

Very responsive, caring and easy to do business with. I would return to them if and when the need arises - recommended.

My doctor from DuPage Medical Group recommended Russeau Team HealthCare. I was a bit surprised that a medical doctor was so enthusiastic about a chiropractor, but she explained the success Dr. Russeau was having with some of her patients and was quite complimentary of his methods. I have been having hip/low back issues (stenosis, etc.) for several years. Been to two physical therapy practices, had two epidural injections, numerous hip injections, and a lot of pain medication during this time. I was hopeful, but reserved. I have no issues going to a chiropractor and have gone to several in the past with varying results. However, my pain management specialist requested that I NOT go to a chiropractor, so I didn't. Dr. Russeau assessed me verbally and physically. Nothing too intense. He had me try certain movements and give him feedback all the while. He did not adjust me on that first visit, but had me work with Jen, the physical therapist. Jen had me perform various mini-exersices...nothing overly strenuous. She also assessed my pain and range of movement. With Dr. Russeau, she put together a plan for treatment. I left the office feeling pretty good. I was sore the next day, but dutifully completed the exercises the team had put together for me over the next couple days. Incredibly, I felt relief! I was nervous that it was all in my head, but it was becoming clear that the pain has diminished for real and my mobility was increasing. The only problem I had now was a very painful spot on my back by my ribs. For months, I had lived with this sharp pain. I tried massaging it, heat, cold, etc. Nothing seemed to take the edge off. Of course, I went right to thinking I had lung cancer or a huge kidney stone! LOL On my next visit, I mentioned it to Dr. Russeau. He was not too concerned, saying that he would fix it. He explained that moving differently sometimes exacerbated other issues and not to worry about it. He believed that it was a rib - where it connects to the spine, so he did a quick adjustment. I almost cried in relief! It felt better IMMEDIATELY. What a difference!! I've visited the office twice. His goal is to fix what ails you in six visits or less. He made it clear that this was not a lifetime commitment! LOL If he can't help you in six visits, he will reassess and decide upon a different course of action. This practice is amazing. I will tell everyone I know about it. I FINALLY got some relief after years of suffering and believing that I had to live in pain. I don't! Highly recommended! read more

Joe is an awesome chiropractor and I cannot say enough good things. He is knowledgeable and precise with his solutions, and he has helped me nearly eliminate my back pain in just a few sessions. Would definitely recommend Joe and Wheaton Healthcare for anyone struggling with back pain. read more

I went to see Dr Joe after a car accident. Had neck and lower back pain and major headaches. My headaches were gone in two days! After the first two sessions and continuing stretches at home, my neck and back pains were already 90% better and continued to improve. Now I am pain free! What I thought would take 6 months or more of treatment only took 6 weeks. The staff and Dr Joe are great people too :) Very happy and I highly recommend them! read more

The only reason I didn't give five stars is because my presenting issue was not resolved (heel pain.) I also had some intermittent back and neck pain, and that feels better, and I learned some good body mechanics that should help me in the future. Staff is wonderful, and Dr. Russeau is very knowledgeable and kind. I did appreciate that he didn't have me continue past 6 sessions. read more

I went to Dr. Russeau for back pain. From the first phone call and talking with the office staff to the exercise and massage therapists I was totally impressed. Every person I've spoken to or interacted with was completely professional, knowledgable, warm and friendly. Dr Russeau is awesome too. He is caring and helpful, very interested in getting my pain issues resolved in a fast amount of time. I would highly recommend Dr Russeau and his office for any chiropractic needs! read more

Started my first visit two weeks ago. I have to say I love this place. From the receptionist, exercise tech, massage therapist, and especially the doctor. This place works miracles! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Kevin Russeau and his staff to anyone who has having muscle or joint pain problems. Russeau Team Health Care is not your traditional chiropractor. Take it from me -- a skeptic who had never been to a chiropractor ever -- but I had heard good things about them, so I thought I'd give them a try because of my back pain. Don't expect to go here and for someone to "crack your back" and then you're good to go. Over my six visits there, the staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable, with Dr. Russeau clearly explaining his expectations at the beginning during his initial evaluation, checking my progress mid-way, and then re-evaluating me at the conclusion of my treatment. I learned stretches, exercises and tools to change my bad habits that had led to my back pain. No expensive pills, no awkward cracking of joints, none of that. I even ended up buying a small rubber band and foam roller from them so I could continue my exercises at home ($3 for the rubber band, $25 for the foam roller). I am now pain free and it feels great! I even got a thank you letter the day after my final appointment. The only thing I think they could improve on is that my trainer got switched twice, which was a surprise, but there was no drop in quality or job knowledge. Depending on your medical plan, my PPO covered everything with $30 co-pays for each visit. I highly recommend you give Dr. Russeau and his team a try. read more

I went to Dr. Russeau because he is trust worthy. He is the first chiropractor practice, where his goal is to get you out of his office in a few visits. Other practices want you to be a patient for years. I went to see Dr. Russeau for a second opinion before having an operation. Usually chiropractors never want you to have a operation. During our first meeting, after reading my films, he confirmed I needed a operation. From there, I trusted him. When I needed some rehab, I went back to Dr. Russeau's practice. My primary doctor from DuPage Medical Group, told me last year that there is only one chiropractor he would ever recommend and that is Dr. Russeau. I asked why. He said he is only chiropractor who gives you exercise to do at home and releases you after a few visits. read more

Came down with severe sciatic nerve pain (level 7-9) over the holidays. Primary care doctor prescribed pain killers and suggested I try chiropractic care. My first experience with it and thrilled with result. Treated by Dr. Joe Papuga at Russeau Team Health. Joe very friendly and professional. Recommended some stretching exercises that enabled complete recovery. Within a few weeks no pain and full range of motion. Highly recommended. Thanks, Joe! read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Russeau and his team. I chose Dr. Russeau, because he was the most highly rated in the area on Yelp, and he's covered by my insurance. I'm recommending him because his treatment has really helped me... I have to say I was pretty skeptical about going to a chiropractor (always thought they were witchdoctors). However, recently a colleague of mine was in a car accident and was suffering from back/neck pain. He too was initially skeptical, but said that he was helped immensely by a chiropractor. Shortly after, I hurt my back (sports related) and decided I would have a chiropractor take a look at it. It was a very different experience than I expected. Before we started, he explained his process and philosophy, which I really appreciated. Basically he strives to educate patients on how to help themselves. He evaluated me and determined that the cause of my pain was muscular. I did not get any back cracking or adjustments or anything like that, but instead over 6 visits after a quick evaluation by the doctor I had physical therapy sessions (thank you Jen and Tom!). We developed a daily regimen of stretches and exercises to help strengthen my muscles that help stabilize or divert stress from the spine. We also talked about and practiced how to maintain good posture throughout the day and avoid harmful movements. After becoming conscious of it I was surprised by how often I contort my back! After those 6 visits, and (mostly) keeping up with my daily routine, I am drastically better. It's amazing what a difference these little things have made. Couldn't be happier with my experience here, and I'm so glad I didn't end up going somewhere that would have cracked my back and sent me on my way. read more

I had a great experience at Dr. Russeau's office. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was a little skeptical at my first visit. I had been diagnosed with a herniated disc about 9 months before my first visit. I had received physical therapy from 2 different facilities prior to Dr. Russeau (a total of 5 months of PT) and it had been completely unsuccessful. In fact, it had made my problem much worse. However, Dr. Russeau told me that he was confident that my problems would be solved in 6 appointments. And without any manual adjustments. This eased my mind because I was nervous about having my back cracked. Over the next few weeks, I received a massage every time I went and intensive PT. The PT was phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about Tom and Lisa. Tom immediately identified postural problems and taught me ways to improve those. After that, he identified which areas of my body were weak/tight and gave me exercises and stretches to fix those problems. I now am virtually pain-free and I am so much more optimistic about prognosis. I still do the exercises that they gave me, but they are far from time-consuming and they really help my back feel great. I have 4 strengthening exercises that I do, I use a foam roller for ~10 mins every day, and I have 3 stretches. That's it! It takes about 30 mins a day to keep my back feeling great. Occasionally my back still bothers me, but I generally just spend a little bit more time stretching or doing the exercises and it feels better the next day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was fairly sore (not a good sore, a painful sore) after every massage. I didn't enjoy the massage part at all. But it's optional luckily. read more

Six visits. $35 for at first visit and $35 at last visit. They work with insurance and our MD referred us to him. Outstanding advice and counsel to my 16-year-old athletic son (who won't listen to me, ha!). Jen did fabulous with the physical therapy. The massage really got to the problem, and yes, he was sore for one day after, just like they told us. My son feels better, but more importantly, learned great skills for posture, exercise, weight lifting that he will carry forward in the future. The front desk - extremely organized and friendly. The office - professional and clean. I would give this ten stars if I could. read more

After dealing with elbow pain for over a year, going through two rounds of cortisone shots, and seeing other doctors/chiropractors, I was losing faith in the medical system. I was even entertaining expensive procedures that were not covered by insurance just to find some relief for the constant pain. Fortunately, I did one last online search for a solution and came across the Russeau website and the McKenzie method. After just one visit, I felt like I had a better understanding of the root of the pain and some practical tools to begin the healing process. After just three weeks of appointments, my pain is nearly gone and I have seen dramatic improvement. The pain is much better and I have a greater range of motion. I would highly recommend the Russeau Team and the McKenzie Method. read more

Absolute regret seeing this doctor. My diagnosis was correct, but my therapy treatment was illegitimate. Don't plan on being adjusted, but having an obscure at home treatment plan that doesn't work. The doctor will have you meet with a "trained" personal trainer that lacks any technical knowledge of the body except for what she read on the internet. Clearly a waste of money and I left in more pain than when I first was diagnosed. read more

I went to see Dr. Joe Papuga after having extremely bad pain in my neck/shoulders and low back due to herniated disc issues. I'd previously tried several other forms of therapy including steroid injections, physical therapy, massage and acupuncture without experiencing any lasting relief. However, after just a few sessions with Dr. Papuga my range of motion has improved significantly and the pain has faded. I've really liked that he does more than just chiropractic adjustments as he also incorporates rehab exercises and massage into each session. Further, he takes the time to make sure that I fully understand all of the exercises and exhibit proper form so that I can go home and continue self care in between which has truly been invaluable. I'm finally feeling better and really just can't say enough good things about this practice and Dr. Papuga! read more

Dr. Russeau focuses on preventing illness as well as finding solution to the root cause of my pain. I was so impressed with the way he explained why I was experiencing the pain on my shoulder and how the exercise he gave me will help. He coached me through it and with just few visits to his office, my pain was gone. No Xray, MRI or pills. I really appreciate what Dr. Russeau and his team do for promoting health and preventing potential future pains through educating me about postures and activities to do. Thank you Dr. Russeau and team. read more

Absolutely incredible doctor who provides expert and compassionate care. Dr. Russeau really knows his stuff and he knows how to explain it to an ordinary client like me. I've been under his care twice--once for upper back pain and three years later for lower back pain. On both occasions his treatment plan started to reduce the pain and discomfort within a day or two. Dr. Russeau's approach is absolutely legitimate, but he will empower you to take charge of your own healing so you don't have to depend on his long-term treatment. Highly recommended! read more

I have had back pain for about 10 years, Kevin Russeau was the 4th Chiropractor, I also had three rounds of PT over the years. I was a little skeptical when I was told that most of my problem stemmed from poor posture, but he said in 6 weeks I would see a difference. Totally true! I still have a few bad posture habits to kick but with practice and exercise I am much more mobile and hurting a lot less. Billing was a little slow but completely accurate. It was great to work with such an ethical Doctor and team. read more
