Before coming to see Dr. Hovig, I could hardly sit because my back felt so bad.
I would finish watching a movie standing up in the aisle due to the pain. I was a little skeptical in the beginning to see a chiropractor, but once seeing Dr. Hovig, I realized this remarkable difference. The difference in the quality of my life before I met him compared to now is like night and day.

Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, North Suburban Physicians Group emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
Chiropractors believe that proper alignment of the spine is the fix for many physical pain symptoms. In essence, your joint pain can be alleviated when your spine is adjusted and returned to correct alignment. Think of chiropractic treatment as a form of alternative medicine. It uses a natural holistic approach to pain.
Myofascial Release Therapy is used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, which is a chronic condition. The therapy focuses on improving skeletal muscle immobility and reducing pain by stimulating your muscles, particularly the stretch reflex that is found in your muscles. This manipulation will relax muscles and improve blood flow and help the lymphatic system balance fluid better.

I came here for chiropractic treatment when I was having terrible pain in my neck. I wish I'd come here years before. Everybody was beyond friendly, and Dr. Shannon Burke was nothing but nice. I had the best time chatting with her! I enjoyed every treatment I had there and thought the staff were wonderful. Would highly recommend this place to anybody.

Dr. Hovig Vartanian is the most knowledgable health professional that I have ever worked with. In addition to his use of chiropractics to treat my back issues, he has also shown exercises for me to do at home that have been very beneficial. He is expert with diet issues as well. My wife has also benefited greatly with her work with him over the years.

Literally got up and walked out of here just now. Whoever they have working the front desk is rude and unprofessional. I came to get an alignment with my husband and as my husband got out of the car he fell on Ice and really hurt his knee. When we walked in I let her know they needed to put some salt down because my husband just fell. Instead of apologizing and asking if he was ok, her response was "well we rent so...." I said so then you need to let whoever you rent from know that my husband just fell. Never asked my husband if he was ok, rolled her eyes and walked away with a total

I couldn't be happier with my experience today. After a comprehensive discussion of symptoms and history, and a thorough examination and identification of problem areas, the treatment I received was the most professional and effective I have had in years of going to other chiropractors. I finally have found a place where I feel confident my back issues will be resolved in a professional and effective manner. I have never had a better adjustment.

I woke up this morning with awful TMJ pain and was unable to close my mouth fully because of jaw spasms. They found time for me to see Dr Hovig within an hour. He did an assessment and began treatment to relieve the pain and release my jaw muscles. Now, just 6 hours later the pain is reduced by about 90% and my jaw movement is almost back to normal. Dr Hovig is amazing with this and more people should know he's an excellent resource for TMJ pain. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. H and all of your wonderful staff!

I've had hip troubles this past few months and I finally got the time (courage) to call Dr Vartanian to schedule an appointment. I travel a lot and wanted to address my issue before the next 4 weeks of travels started. I was not expecting the amazing accommodations but they were able to squeeze me in 3 times which also worked around my unusual travel schedule. Besides the pleasant accommodations, their professional service and care was great. Dr Hovig assessed the situation and assured me that things will be much better within 3 week. I was a little skeptical but boy was I wrong. THANK YOU DOC

Top notch service: really knowledgeable professionals. Dr. Hovig is a miracle worker and they are very easy on your wallet. Extremely professional treatment. Came in for an Xray due to severe foot pain. I didn't make an appointment and I was seen within 5 minutes of arrival!!! Best part: foot already feels better and I just left.

Before I started to see dr Burke for lower back and neck pain 10 yrs ago, I was 35 years old and walking hunched over from pain. Yes, I had to see her multiple times a week initially. I was not convinced chiropractic was going to help but I'd already tried physical therapy with very little, if any, benefit. Within a short period of time I began feeling better, and walking better. 10 years later, I can say without reservation that dr Burke is one of the best Chiros out there (I have to believe there's another awesome Chiro out there...somewhere, just haven't found them yet!).

I've seen Dr. Shannon for back and knee issues throughout the years and she is a wonderful doctor. I never feel rushed and she explains what my issues are, what she is doing, and what my options are. She knows her stuff and fixes me up quickly, with as few appointments as possible. She and the staff in the office are super-friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Shannon!!!

Went to see Dr Shannon Burke for chronic neck pain that I have been having for quite some time. With in 2 appointments my neck pain was much better and it was the first time in 4 months that I feel ready to go back to Brazilian jiu- jitsu. I have had Epi Durals, physical therapy in the past but nothing helped me like my 2 appointments with DR Shannon.

I have been going to Dr. Hovig for treatments for different issues over many years. He takes the time to listen so he understands what you are feeling and then he does his examination to understand what is going on with your body. He treatments provide short-term relief and long-term correction of the issue. He is very good at what he does.
I have also seem Dr. Elana and Dr. Shannon at various times and they bring the same dedication to their work as Dr. Hovig.

I've been seeing Dr. Hovig for 10 years. He takes a holistic approach to health, and factors in nutrition, physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation with common sense. His nutrition counseling is also amazing!
People are always seeking a quick cure or pill for their ailments. Dr. Hovig explains to you why it's important to to receive treatments and why personal responsibility is needed to improve your physical well being.
Couple the chiropractic care with nutrition knowledge and a medical doctor makes for a well-rounded practice. They are even involved in testing for food allergies

I have been coming here for years for everything ranging from nutritional issues, to all the physical ailments associated with being a weekend warrier. I have had cricks in my neck that barely let me turn my head, shoulder problems, lower back problems and even issues with tight hamstrings. Dr. Hov takes a holistic approatch, and is always sure to treat more than just the basic symptoms. He tries to make sure he gets to the root of the cause of the problem, while encouraging self treatment and prevention. Simple advice like icing and proper stretching are often recommended and recovery is typically

I'm not impressed.
I went in about a year ago for some chiropractic issues and immediately felt like a cash cow for them. They wanted to milk my insurance for everything they could. As per the typical chiropractic treatment, they wanted me to come in 3 or more times a week for something that has resolved on its own a couple of months later. I just felt like a source of income for them, my problem really didnt get addressed to my satisfaction.

I have to say, despite being open to non-traditional medicine, I do tend towards skepticism. I'm usually of the "gimme a pill or sew it up" mindset. That said, Dr. Shannon Burke has won me over to the wonderful world of chiropractics! She is extremely knowledgeable. You will notice that straight-away. I have a finely tuned bull sh*t meter, and I detected none from Dr. Burke. I went in today for the first time for on-going neck pain/stiffness which I directly attribute to all the stupid people in the world I come across on a daily basis. Dr. Burke did a very thorough job examining

Dr. Shannon is REALLY good.
I have fibro and a pinched nerve and she has been getting me back on my feet very quickly.
She is very open to what you have to say and responds well with a vast pool of knowledge. She listens and gives good advice even when she might not be able to help you , she lets you know what to go ask your regular doctor about.
The clinic is integrative meaning they are open to different ideas and they include physical therapy with your chiro appointment. A huge key for true healing.
