Dr. Jeff Schwan, DC., CCSP, received his education at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL, where he graduated Valedictorian. I began my journey to becoming a Sports Chiropractor when I was a kid. I was always active and played just about every sport I could; soccer, baseball, track, tennis, wrestling and skiing to name a few.

Active Release is the gold standard for tissue care. It is a patented massage based technique that is extremely effective in treating a myriad of conditions, from chronic overuse injuries to nerve entrapment. It decreases pain and spasm to restore balance and proper bio mechanical motion to a joint.
I cannot say enough great things about ProActive Sport & Spine and Dr. Jeff Schwan. For over five years, I'd had issues with me left elbow. I'd seen every specialist you can imagine, and no one was able to provide me with any relief. Within a few sessions, Dr. Schwan was able to identify what was causing my issue and quickly resolved it.

I've been visiting Proactive Sport & Spine (PSS from here on) for the last 2 years. It started out with a visit for golfer's elbow, and since treating it successfully, I've consulted Dr Schwan on a number of other niggles and injuries here and there.
In my experience, there is no chiropractor better qualified than Dr Schwan. He's a magic worker who takes the time to listen to your history with injuries and goes about working on them in a holistic manner. I went through a few chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons for my elbow before I found Dr Schwan and his approach to treatment felt unique, refreshing

Dr. Schawn is phenomenal! He really spends the time and does a lot more than a quick adjustment. He takes his time to do 20-30 minutes of different therapy, such as manual and massage, before the adjustment; I also believe he does dry needling. Unlike several other chiropractors I've been to, he truly and wholeheartedly cares for his patient's wellbeing. Calling him just a chiropractor is a major understatement because he's knowledgeable in so many other areas as well. He has also helped me with anxiety, PT exercises, and much more. If you're looking for a excellent chiro, look no further as HE

I have had numerous surgeries and procedures done to my back since I was a child. Now that I'm 62 most doctors are afraid to go near me. Not only did Jeff want to see me, but he reviewed my numerous MRI's and developed a plan. He worked in conjunction with my pain doctor and got me back on my feet.
I've seen a lot of specialists over the years, but have been most impressed with Dr. Jeff's diagnostic and therapeutic skills. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him to anyone.

After visiting numerous chiropractors over the years, I went to see Jeff Schwann about a few nagging problems. Within 4 visits, he helped me with 3 different issues, including balance, golfer's elbow (left arm) and tennis elbow (right arm). I had problems with my elbows for years and the pain kept me from doing the things that I wanted to do. Jeff did not approach the treatment like any other chiropractor that I have been to. The other chiropractors treated the problem, while Jeff figured out the cause and began treatment from that perspective. I can't say enough about the results (no more pain

I have dealt with low back pain for many, many years, and after multiple doctors and physical therapists, Dr. Jeff was the first person to walk me through why I was in pain along with a plan to fix it. He thoroughly explained the treatment he was providing along with how I should expect it to work. I'm finally pain free, and when I have questions, Dr. Jeff is always available to answer questions via phone or email. I will always go to Dr. Jeff with issues, and I would recommend him to anyone! I trust his professional opinion, and I know that he wants me feeling better as quickly as possible.

Dr. Jeff and Dana Fine (acupuncture) are both wonderful! They have been of tremendous assistance in helping relieve my lower back pain and I have learned a lot from both of them about my body and how it functions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
