Dr. Huffman is a LIFESAVER! I decided to turn to chiropractic care late last year for neck pain and some other aches and pains that accumulate after years of working at a desk in front of a computer.
Dr. Huffman was very thorough in explaining her treatment plan for my symptoms, and she made me feel very comfortable. This was important to me because this was my first experience with chiropractic treatment.
Her quality of care is amazing and I started noticing a difference after the first visit. She also taught me stretches I could do at home, which helped a lot to keep the pain away. I also learned

I see Dr. Huffman every week for whole body health. Chiropractic treatment is not just walking in and getting "cracked " in 15 minutes.
Dr. Huffman actually has a discussion with you to find out exactly what you need to feel better. And she gives you "homework" - exercises to help you get through each day. Mine consisted of stretches and balances, which I love.
She is very kind and also hilariously funny. Her personality makes me look forward to my weekly appointments.

After caring for ill loved ones, the strain from lifting dead weight on my arms, shoulders, and back--that I didn't realize at the time--caused multiple injuries. Not only did Dr. Huffman make accurate diagnoses, she impressively applied the right solutions that helped me avoid surgery. Her diligence, unwavering commitment, and expertise using various combinations made a profound impact on my well-being. I'm especially grateful to Dr. Huffman for being instrumental in helping me control chronic pain from debilitating fibromyalgia and arthritis. Significant time was spent educating and helping me

Dr. Huffman is THE BEST chiropractor I have ever been to!!!
I should have written this a long time ago but I'm pretty lazy about writing reviews... I know I should do it more often but....

I was referred to Dr. Huffman by one of my doctors (I forget) because I was having issues with my legs and feet. I came in and within a few visits, she was able to help me with my pain in not only my legs and feet but also my back, shoulders, and neck.

Dr. Huffman has been my chiropractor for a number of years. I began seeing Dr. Huffman when I was living out of state and periodically in Chicago. I began to see her routinely when I relocated to Chicago full-time. She has been a godsend. I have seen chiropractors in the past and with their help I received some temporary relief with my neck and back pain. Dr. Huffman has really helped me sustain that relief and make actual progress towards a pain free life. She is extremely knowledgeable about the practice of chiropractic and has advised me on a number of exercises and regimes to follow to

I can't even count how many times I have recommended Dr. Huffman to friends and co-workers over the past decade I have been seeing her. She is even the unofficial "team doctor" for a running team I manage and we have had athletes go to see her with a variety of hip, knee and back issues.

- She truly (truly) cares about her patients and getting them better.
- She takes her time with the diagnosis. When you go in with a new issue she has you run through a series of tests to narrow down the cause.

Our entire family has loved ChiroMedica for over 9 years. We used to live within walking distance of the office, but now drive in from Naperville to continue monthly visits. I've never felt rushed and she makes sure to give ideas for stretching and other methods of stress relief. She is great with kids and adults with a wide variety of ailments. She works hard to get to the root of a problem, but realistic on what may or may not be necessary to correct a condition. She also is highly regarded by her medical peers and gives great recommendations and referrals for issues that she is unable to

I've been seeing Dr Huffman on and off for care for six years. Her service is unparalleled and it's so welcome to have a physician actually feel like they care these days.
She is so thorough with her care - listens to patient concerns and adjusts her treatment plan based on needs.
I refer Dr Huffman to anyone who needs such services. I won't see anyone else for chiropractic treatment again.

I hate going to doctors, but after months of experiencing pain from a tight lower back and tight hips I decided to do my research to find a good chiropractor. Dr. Huffman spent a lot of time listening to me explain what was hurting and what it felt like. She asked a lot of questions to understand my past injuries and health issues. She is very knowledgeable and hands on and after a few sessions with her I felt like a new person! I would walk out of our sessions feeling inches taller and with increased mobility. Cut to a few months later, I experienced a sports injury and Dr. Huffman spent over

Dr. Mary Huffman has been my chiropractor for the past 5 years. She is one of the best doctors I know and I feel so fortunate to have her as my doctor. She is extremely intelligent, compassionate, and respectful. She has been able to help me with all of my problems ranging from headaches to neck pain to leg pain. Without Dr. Huffman, I would be in so much pain. She truly cares for each of her patients and tries her very best to provide each of us good quality care.

I have been visiting Dr. Huffman for over 10 years with chronic shoulder and back pain. She is by far the most thoughtful, intelligent, thorough doctor I have been to for treatment. She is now helping me after shoulder surgery and has been the quintessential source for my therapy.
I came here ( to Yelp) to provide an unsolicited review and I have noticed another review at this site, stating that she injured her during treatment and was not even apologetic. Not possible ! Clearly ( from the 750 word rant) this person has an axe to grind and somehow trying to play off of Dr. Huffman's incredible

Dr. Huffman is not only the best Chiropractor I have ever been under the care of, but hands down the best and most kind doctor, period. I was amazed during my very first visit at how much time she took to assess the pain and dig down on what the cause/solution to the problem would be. I had lived under the impression that a visit to the Chiro was a 10 minute deal. The level of care, time and attention that Dr. Huffman gives to every session is unparalleled.
I have had two major injuries (left and right knee) and I can undoubtedly say that in both occasions Dr. Huffman saved me from surgery.

Dr. Huffman is a very kind and compassionate chiropractor. At my initial consultation, I voiced my concerns about it being my first experience with a chiropractor and how I was nervous. She immediately made me feel comfortable, at ease, and that she understood the cause of my concern and discomfort. Dr. Huffman is very thorough and provides education on healthy strategies that I am able to use between appointments to improve my overall well being and strength. Since I have been working with her, I have noticed a significant reduction in the symptoms I was experiencing before I started working

I did not have a good experience with Dr Huffman. She knew my care was part of an ongoing personal injury lawsuit, and she refused to charge my insurance so she could wait and get paid more through the lawsuit. Each week I would ask her about charging my insurance, because I wasn't getting any EOBs, she would shrug and say "that's weird I submitted it!" She was lying. When I finally pinned her down about it, MONTHS into treatment without any EOBs from my insurance, she rolled her eyes and said my insurance only pays $60 an hour (or whatever it was). That was the last time I

*Since writing about my experience in a review, two of Dr Huffmans patients have written her 5 star reviews. Both sent harassing messages saying "how dare you write this about a sweet lady." This has nothing to do with personality and everything to do with the injuries sustained in her care.
FYI When Mrs Huffman read my Xray, she was certain that my pain was from arthritis. Arthritis doesn't all of a sudden activate or cause the knee to buckle after a chiropractic session, unless that chiropractor injured the patients knee and hip.

I've been seeing Dr. Huffman for a year and a half now, and have had nothing but a positive experience both at every appointment and with my overall experience. I'm incredibly picky when it comes to chiropractors as I'm sensitive with my back. Dr. Huffman is gentle and makes sure that I am okay with every adjustment. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her practice, while also caring about you as the patient. She's the absolute sweetest! I've seen improvement both short term and long term, and will continue to see Dr. Huffman for as long as I'm in the Chicago

Dr. Huffman is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She truly cares about her patient's well-being and it shows. She is not the type of doctor that does an "adjustment" and sends you on your way.
She has always taken the time to evaluate what is going on with me and has helped me tremendously. I had severe neck pain and didn't know what was going on. She treated me and also helped me get to the bottom of it...x-rays, MRI physical therapy and eventually epidural steroid shots which helped!

Repeating my review written on the Yelp page for Dr. Huffman's old location:
Dr. Huffman is by far the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I've ever seen. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars because she's that good at what she does.
I had a mysterious pain in my upper left abdomen for about two years, and in that time I saw a LOT of doctors to try and determine a cause. I had a colonoscopy, an endoscopy, a CT scan, an ultrasound, blood tests... just about everything. But when results came back normal, every doctor told me I was fine and I never saw them again. About a year

Dr. Huffman.IS.AMAZING. I don't dole out compliments loosely and I have high standards, and I was genuinely giddy when I walked out of my massage today. I felt so good and I was so happy to have finally found a med practice that did massage, chiro treatments, etc that are covered by my insurance and where they know what they're doing. She's knowledgeable, she is nice, down to earth, humble (how many docs do you know that fit that description?), and she is flexible with times. I have seen a number of other chiros and massage therapists and she is among the best. Many other chiros

I was always hesitant to see a chiropractor after some horror stories. But after getting a doctor recommendation to Dr Huffman I now see the value of regular adjustments. I saw a marked improvement in my mobility and in one instance I had my neck stuck at an angle and after an adjustment I was able to move it with greater range of motion.
My coworker, my friend, her husband and even her sister are now regular clients and I would recommend her to everyone I could.

Dr. Huffman is someone I met over ten years ago, and have referred at least a dozen people her way. She is incredibly thoughtful in her treatment, a great listener, and completely committed to my health & well being. She has cured me of chronic pains on a number of occasions and always suggests healthy ways to treat my body (Physical therapy & exercise) upon my departure. This is a top notch, honest healthcare provider who will go out of her way to make herself available to her patients.
