Dr. Luke was fantastic. I started going to him for a recurring shoulder pain and within just a few sessions it was completely gone and hasn't come back in over a year! He continued working to help me with back issues and have given me so much great advice to improve my posture and comfortability in my day to day life. Such a friendly environment, I would highly recommend!

I've been treated by Dr. Luke several times. He is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend him. I recently went to see Dr. Luke for a back strain and felt better walking out of the office. Dr. Luke also gave me instructions on what to do at home in order to improve and alleviate stress on my back. Thanks so much Dr. Luke!

Love Dr. Luke, love Sarah at the front, love that massage chair in the waiting area. My constant ache in my neck and hip are relieved and Dr. Luke also walks me through exercises out of the office I can do to truly help better me. The staff here are so kind and Total Balance is such an incredible part of this community!

I have previously had terrible experiences with chiropractors and Dr. Luke alleviated not only my worries and stresses about going to a chiropractor, but all of my PAIN! I've had terrible back pain for years and Dr. Luke has finally been able to resolve it for me. I send everyone I know to him. Also, he is so personable and funny that it makes my trips in much more enjoyable. Thank you, Dr. Luke!

Dr. Luke is kind, thorough, and does an excellent job individualizing your concerns. His office is clean and modern. I have dealt with a frustrating problem for months and Dr. Luke (no pun!) adjusted his approach until a solution was in place. Scheduling is simple with his app, and his office staff are always smiling and helpful.

Dr. Andrea is saving my life, one adjustment at a time, I could not be more grateful for her, seriously thank you! I was referred to her by my neighbors who have been seeing her for many many years, I've never immediately walked into see a doctor and felt as comfortable as I do with her. She is so knowledgeable and such a comforting force, if she could treat every medical issues under the sun, I would choose her for them all.

At 33 I have a bulging disk and arthritis in my lower back and have been in so much pain I hadn't even sat in a chair for months, she's taken my pain from a 10/10, I want to rip my spine out on a daily basis to a 1-3/10 in just 3 months and now I am even starting to have pain free days, I forgot what it felt like to not be in so much misery, but thanks to Dr. Andrea, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not a train.

I even mentioned to her elbow pain and troubles I had been having with tennis elbow recently and in two adjustments she did on my elbow that resolved immediately, she goes above and beyond, No words are enough to describe my gratitude for her!

Dr Andrea is the very best. I have gone to 5 diff chiropractors and no one could help me until I went to Dr Andrea at Total Balance. The entire team there is wonderful and they become like family. They continue to enhance how they support their patients as well!

We love Dr Luke and have been seeing him since he took over the practice! He has also been wonderful with our newborn's care (and he's now 3). From headaches, to tension, and even the odd tweaks in my knees/joints, he can fix it all :)

Love Dr. Luke, always fixes me right up every time I see him. He was the only Doctor who was able to help me after being diagnosed with posterior tibial tendinitis. After month of seeing doctors, specialist (podiatrist) and in an air cast boot. Dr. Luke performed dry needling on my leg and within days started feeling better to eventually fully recovered after a few sessions. Highly recommend him as a chiropractor to everyone.

Dr. Luke works with my entire family. His feel for what is happening in our bodies is remarkable. His bedside with our young kids developed instant trust with them. We highly recommend Dr. Luke at Total Balance.

I have been seeing Dr. Shavitz for a few years now for ongoing treatment for Stenosis. Dr. Shavitz quickly diagnosed my issue and in addition to providing treatment, she recommended stretching exercises that I could do on my own. In addition to being very knowledgeable, Dr. Shavitz is also very personable. The office staff is also great at responding to my appointment requests on a timely basis and quickly rescheduling my appointments when needed. I highly recommended Total Balance!

We moved to the Chicago area from the West Coast. And we were looking for a chiropractor that was like our California one. When we found Total Balance Chiropractic we didn't need to look any further. Not exactly like him, but they do their Best, and we are Extremely Happy with Our Experiences here.

I been to few Chiropractors for back pains but never had professional help that completely elevated and remedied my pain, tilI I received treatment from Dr. Luke. He's very experienced and knowledgeable and won't give you the broad cookie cutter treatment that my previous chiropractors did but will actually give you treatment that works for you. He also taught me preventive measures such as exercises and stretches so I don't end up having less of these pains to begin with. I highly recommend anyone to visit Total Balance Chiropractic and receive amazing service from Dr. Luke.

I have been coming here for about 2 years they are great! Scheduling is very fast and convenient and Dr. Luke is awesome. I've had chronic back pain most of my life; especially after my college football career and I now visit Dr Luke monthly and I feel great.

Been going for a couple weeks now and I have definitely felt the difference with a knee injury that has been lasting months. Would recommend seeing either Dr. Luke or Dr. Andrea. Can't go wrong! I plan to be here until I'm completely healed. It's nice knowing I have a better option now!

I've had back challenges for as long as I can remember. Being a teacher of Cosmetology and a stylist, I stand on cement floors for hours on end. Dr. Luke from total body has helped with the pain and stiffness that comes from being on your feet for countless hours. His guidance and willingness to listen has helped me to stay productive as both a teacher and stylist. Thank you Dr luke. I greatly appreciate you and your efforts. Glad I found you and your incredible staff of trained Professionals

Dr. Luke has been my chiropractor since he began at Total Balance chiropractic and he is the best! He is really great at recommending/demonstrating stretches and exercises to help me between appointments. He's kind and gentle and really helps me "stay in balance" with caring adjustments! The entire staff at Total Balance is excellent!
