I have never been happier to leave a review for a place! I came in and met with Dr. Vaid and I was in tremendous pain. I had to go to the emergency room before I met Dr. Vaid because the pain was so bad I could not sit well, sleep well or even stand for a long period of time. After the very first visit I was feeling better. Now 3 weeks in and I’m moving so much better. I still have some way to go but I am so happy with the services and Dr. Vaid is just wonderful!

After having multiple back surgeries, a friend recommended Chiropractor Dr. John Zerlak from East Bank Club health.
After only two visits so far, he was able to tell me more about my back pain and back pain management then any of my back surgeon's.
Dr. Zerlak explained the source of my back and my neck.
His plans sounds logical, and with his help and my cooperation I believe there will be great improvement in the weeks to come.

I went in for my fussy 2 month old daughter. She just seemed to bit latch as often and would wiggle and cry. They adjusted her back, neck, and hips. She didn't cry once! She was calm and even smiling, she has been pretty mellow the entire day. Not only did they help, but they were extremely knowledgeable about a number of things including vitamins for my wife to take to help with my daughters dry skin.

I'm very impressed with the overall care at East Bank. It's my first time visiting a chiropractor and I came in with acute pain due to a thrown out back. Dr. Vaid carefully listened to my symptoms, was patient when walking me through his suggestions for proper care, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the adjustment. I appreciate the holistic approach that the office takes and the detail and attentiveness I received as I've visited. Would highly recommend if you're looking to talk to a trusted team of advisors and are looking for personal care and 1:1 time.

Sustaining an injury when you're far from home and your normal resources is always challenging. That's why I was so gratified to find that East Bank Chiropractic was able to take me without an appointment. Knowing my predicament, Sam fit me into a very busy schedule so that they could relieve my pain and I could continue to enjoy my trip to Chicago.
Samantha and Dr. Crawford went above and beyond in helping me relieve my pain. Their compassion apparently comes from having experience with back pain as Samantha said everyone in the office has the empathy needed to deal with people in pain. I would

Dr. Z. is a baby flipping master and the entire East Bank Chiropractic team is all-star! I highly recommend this practice for both regular chiropractic adjustments and especially for Webster-certified chiropractor support. At 36 weeks pregnant, I found out that my son was breech. In an effort to help the baby turn head down on his own - and ultimately to prevent a scheduled C-section delivery - my OBGYN recommended I see a chiropractor who is certified in the Webster technique.
With a week to get the job done, I immediately took to the internet to research Webster-certified practitioners located

Great staff here. Honest, efficient and helpful healers all around. They have your back ;)
If they can’t fix you with their hands they quickly direct you to someone who can. It feels hood to have your time and your body values as much as you value it yourself. Every client I met here had glowing reviews and made me feel like I was in the right place. There is a warm wave of kindness that welcomes you and stays with you the entire time you’re at this place of healing. Great job team. Keep it up. I appreciate you, your hard work, and your communication! Great way to run a business that betters

I have been going to East Bank Chiropractic for over eight years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else! The staff is super friendly, they are very accommodating, especially during the pandemic, and I always feel like I am walking on air after a visit with Dr. Z! After one of my bicycle accidents, Dr Z came up with a regimen to help prevent any long term damage to my shoulder and quickly fixed the misalignment. Now I have my husband joining me on visits and both of us really appreciate the word he puts into the adjustments, especially since both of our jobs require heavy lifting and being on our feet

Dr. Zrelak is so caring and smart! He is an excellent chiropractor with great, strong hands and you will absolutely love him! He took his time to review the X-rays and came up with a plan to get my spine fixed. Only after few visits I can feel the difference in my posture. I am so grateful to have found him. The office staff is amazing, always helpful and the atmosphere in the office very pleasant. Bottom line is this is a great office and Dr. Z is by far the best chiropractor!

I was referred to Doctor Z by a colleague after throwing out my back from a workout and having severe pain. I got in within hours. The receptionist was extremely personable and warm and sincerely cared about my services. She showed me pricing, educated me that many health insurance companies (BCBS) include this in coverage, and came over to me to discuss since I was in pain. Everyone insisted I do not carry my bags around out of care. I received several long and short term services that made me feel physically and mentally relieved. I now have a plan to prevent this from happening. Dr Z even followed

I went to East Bank Chiropractic last week. The doctor performed some manipulation aligning my pelvis. My walking has improved. I was very happy with the results. Everyone in the office was very professional, friendly and attentive. The doctor had a good bedside manner. I plan to return tomorrow for my second appointment. I look forward to further improvement.

First off let me say that doctors are amazing. However their office staff is just the opposite. They will randomly charge you figures that make no sense and then if you question the charger will come up with random explanations. Please dont go here. Or if you do make sure to check your bills like a hawk cause they will scam you.

Dr. Zrelak and Dr Curry are the best, I wish I could give 10 stars. I felt I needed to write this review to get their name out there and help others in the same situation. They are excellent and will help you.
My husband had an injury of herniated discs to his back. On a scale of 1-10 pain, he was a 10. He couldn't walk, eat, sleep etc. Every MD; spine specialist, surgeon, Pain specialist we went to for 7 grueling months couldn't find the solution or fix his pain, nor did they care. Dr Zrelak and Dr Curry gave us hope, they understood what we were going through and really care to find

I've been in the health care industry for a while and never seen such bad service. It so bad, that I'm still debating whether to refer to State Medical Review Board.
I injured my back and like most people, waited a couple of days before going in. So by the time I get to the office, it really killing me now.
I was able to do the inpatient paperwork from home, via their online portal. Which is a plus given the pain I'm in and need to see Doctor asap. When I arrive, I'm pretty much told to wait about 10min then I see Dr Zrelak. Goes over the medical questionnaire and give me

I have never been to a chiropractor but after 26 years, I decided whyyyy not. I have *awesome* health insurance that even covers chiropractic treatments. So that might have triggered me to make an appointment.
Anywhoots- I first walked into what seemed to be a small office but it's a decent size once you get past the reception area. Then, you wait again in a different waiting area, closer to all the doctors office. This is where you blankly stare at all the Chicago athletes and actors that Dr. Zrelak have as patients. I really didnt know who i was going to see but..lucky me.. I met with

I was really happy to find a chiropractic office so close to work, and so highly praised by fellow yelpers. But unfortunately, I can't bring myself to sing their praises. Having gone to chiropracters around the country (moved a lot), I think I have a fairly good idea of what a good chiropracter is, and East Bank is good. But they aren't great.
They have fantastic technology, but sometimes it feels like they rely on it too much. Additionally, having a large staff is great but treatment might be better if the same doctor that examined you also adjusted you.
