What our patients are saying....

“I've known Dr. Bobik for a long time and I can say without a doubt that she has a passion for quality chiropractic care beyond any chiro I've ever been to or met. She is honest and cares about each individual case she sees. The facility is updated and large, overall very comfortable to be seen at. I'd recommend Dr. Bobik to anyone seeking great chiropractic care or modern acupuncture treatments.” ~ Kevin D.

“I had months of physical therapy to rehabilitate my left shoulder after having a decompression/manipulation done to release a frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tear. I was still experiencing some degree of pain and limited movement, so I decided to try an “alternative” – acupuncture! I started seeing results immediately. I found that with each treatment, not only was my shoulder improving but I began feeling better overall with more energy!”  ~ Joan

“As a result of cancer surgery, June 22, 2010, I was left with nerve damage on the right side of my face. I looked like a stroke victim. After 3 treatments by Dr. Bobik, I could actually see an improvement. I began treatment on August 4th and as of this date, I look like myself again! Dr. Bobik is amazingly skilled. She has truly impacted my life in a positive way.”  ~ Gayle (Sept. 17, 2010)

“Dr. Bobik has treated me with Acupuncture for a sinus infection and allergies. During the treatment, I could feel the pressure from my sinuses releasing and draining. Acupuncture made my recovery less painful and much faster.”   ~ Kellie J.

“Dr. Bobik is fabulous, not only with me, but also with my young daughter. You may be surprised to know that chiropractic is actually very good for young children and actually works better when used for an entire lifetime. She is actually the second chiropractor that my daughter has visited and is infinitely more comfortable with Dr. Bobik than she was with the previous one. She actually took the time to try to make friends with her first and explain things as she went so that she would not be frightened and now she loves to go see " ~ Dr. Kristen."

“Are you in pain?  Then you need to see Dr. Kristen Bobik.  She is a chiropractor that also offers acupuncture (for health and cosmetic concerns) .  I had never had acupuncture until I say Dr. Bobik.  It was a very painless experience.  She is very knowledgeable and can also help with your food sensitivity issues.  A very pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend Balance Chiropractic and Wellness”~ Kathleen R.

As for myself, Dr. Bobik has been providing me with excellent rehabilitative care following a car accident and through conversation; she realized that I may be suffering from some acute food sensitivities. The test she performed has completely changed my life. No longer am I fatigued or feeling ill all the time as I was prior to it. The food allergies were affecting my weight, skin, inflaming my joints and all of those issues are now on the mend. Two words: LOVE. HER.”  ~ Simeren

“This is the first and only doctor that has been able to cure my migraine headaches and neck pain. My medical doctors just give me medication but the problems just kept coming back. After getting acupuncture and chiropractic treatments I can now say that I am completely pain free. The office is really nice and I felt at home there. She knows so much about how the body works and I felt like she really cared. They do x-rays in the office and I think they even do blood work and orthotics for your feet.  If you are looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Bobik is the best they come! I really love this place!!”  ~ Angela

“My job working in an office requires me to spend my day seated at the computer. I tend to be hunched, looking down at the desk. After a while, I was leaving work stiff and sore, with headaches and pain in my neck/shoulders. Dr. Bobik helped realign my neck and upper back and used the Activator technique to gently release trigger points (which I consider my tension knots). Ultimately this relieved my stiffness, increased mobility in my neck and shoulders, and I no longer suffer from tension headaches.  The Activator technique is gentle and effective, and I leave the office feeling relief.”  ~ Kelly B.

“Dr. Bobik is the best chiropractor I've ever been to.  After a car accident and horrible neck issue after that accident, she really helped get my neck mobile again.  Her low force approach really was the turning point for me.  I suffered from migraines most of my life and after seeing Dr. Bobik; I haven't had a migraine since.  She is very attentive to her patients and really takes the time to get to know each person individually and how best to approach their case.  I've been a loyal patient for a year now and I will continue to be a loyal patient.  I've even recommended some of my athletes to Dr. Bobik, and they have become loyal patients as well!  I will continue to recommend Dr. Bobik for anyone looking for a solution to any unresolved medical issue!”  ~ Kristen

“I was in a lot of pain and none of the doctors I went to could figure it out. After speaking with several of my friends, one of my friends suggested Dr. Kristen Bobik. She is not only an amazing doctor but also a wonderful individual. I am in great shape now. I'm not hurting anymore. I can play with my kids again and not have to quit before they do. Sure wish I had gone to her first! The office is clean and staff takes good care of the patients. I never had to pay more than what i was told a head of time. It is wonderful to find a doctor that cares about my health and looks at each case differently than the other. She was very thorough with what she was going to do and what to expect out of care. She really took the time to create my initial report so it's not difficult for me to understand the care plan. All my answers were well answered and now I am in great shape in every way. I highly recommend Dr. Bobik for any kind of health problem.”  ~ Hira M

"I totally agree with these stats. I am firm believer having been going to see internal medicine doctors for my headaches, lower back, upper back problems. They haven’t really helped me. I went to see a Naprapath year ago for a pinched nerve in my lower back. With alternative medicine, Naprapath helped. They believe in balance and wellness. I did go through a drastic life change moving back to my childhood home a year ago. I was very active living in Gurnee, IL. The move took a toll on me physically as well as mentally. I went through something that I thought was an angina attack last November. Went to the ER. They found nothing wrong. All muscle related. This past August I decided to exercise. I started out slow riding a bike around the block. A high school friend told me about Balance Chiropractic and Wellness. I went to their work shop. It’s everything I believed in. I got x-rays and they found abnormalities in my spine. I’m now going to therapy and it has been helping me immensely, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I would suggest everyone to put chiropractic therapy, Balance Chiropractic and Wellness into their lives and consider alternative medicine as a form of treatment.“  ~ Karen R.

“I was referred to Dr. Bobik for my foot/heel pain. For two weeks prior to my first visit, I was in severe pain that made every day walking very difficult. Upon her diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs, I began a four week therapy and treatment regimen. I can honestly say that after just two treatments, my foot/heel was feeling better. After four weeks, I am now back to normal and walking without pain. Thank you, Dr. Bobik!”  ~ Rosanne

“For many years I have had major back pain, I hide it well due to thinking this is how it should be. If you work hard, your body should let you know how hard you have been working. Well for me I pushed and pushed and pushed until I was consuming about 1600mg of Motrin two times a day just to get out of bed the next morning. How did I let it go so far you are probably asking, well… I created a wall for pain, I know its not good, but I had to make sure my daily routine did not get interrupted by a ridiculous back pain. I am thirty-one years old, married since 2005, run a business at home, have a daughter born in 2008; work a full time job outside of home as a store manager and have a part time job at a children’s boutique. I am on the go from the time I get up till the moment my head hits the pillow. Asking how this all got started is sort of a long story, I don’t know how long it has been but if I had to guess my pain problems started in 1997 when I was in a motorcycle accident, landed face first into the pavement and hurt my neck, couple stitches in the chin, but walked away. Physical therapy only helped with the movement, but only lasted twelve weeks before I was released from the therapy. Over the years I noticed that my back was getting tighter, that my belly button was not lining up with the button on my pants. That standing up was more comfortable then sitting down, its not the sitting part it the process of starting to sit. I say delivering my daughter was the icing on the cake for my back. I went from 6cm to baby born in fifteen minutes, two pushed. Yup, you read that correctly, two pushed. She is my first, and I have had major spine issues since delivery. I went through sixteen weeks of physical therapy due to the pain and numbness down my legs to my toes. I was feeling better but not 100%, but again once the program is over you are released, no follow up needed. Feeling pain and discomfort for a couple years I knew the only way to get my back better is to find someone who understood the spine, understood the amount of pain I was in, someone who could help correct the problem not just mask it with medications. I met Dr. Bobik at am Elmhurst Chamber function, sort of ironic how we met but I believe in fate. I was leaving the event and went back into the room to introduce myself to her. I asked for her card and that I would be calling the girls at the office that day. I saw her on a Monday, worked out a plan for treatment, a combination of chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture is what my plan has for now. I know that we are planning on adding orthotic inserts and correcting my diet soon. Chiropractic I knew, had it when I was in the motorcycle accident, it worked but there was no working plan, no x-rays, nothing of what I am looking to get out of the treatment. With Balance Chiropractic from the moment I walked into the office I felt welcomed, that this was my chance to get my problem spine corrected, making what I have work and fix what needs to be fixed. We talked about what my issues were, where my pain level was and what I am looking to get out of the treatment. The first week was rough, my schedule was Monday, Wednesday, Friday adjustments and combo if acupuncture on Wednesday. The first time Dr. Bobik touched my lower back, I was in tears but I knew that she was feeling what was wrong and slowly started the work that needed to be done. My acupuncture appointments were to so calming, almost a full half hour of alone time, needing that time to unwind, and no thoughts of the outside just calming sounds and my aroma oil for the day. We are on week five and I no longer need any Motrin to function on a daily basis. I can stand, sit and walk for hours without pain. I know I am not 100% yet, but my progress has been amazing. My adjustments and combination of acupuncture are making me a better person. I am not as crabby as I was, I sleep better, I have a better digestive system, I remember to drink water threw out the day – that was one huge improvement. I know that combining a life style change along with my chiropractic and acupuncture care that I am receiving from Balance Chiropractic is improving my life.” ~ Elizabeth K. (May 2011)

“I started seeing a chiropractor at the age of 14 for a sports injury and continued to see a chiropractor throughout the past 13 years for various ailments ranging from knee and shoulder problems to headaches. I started seeing Dr. Bobik shortly after she opened the doors to Balance Chiropractic and Wellness. I have not had any headaches since seeking regular chiropractic care again with Dr. Bobik. I have recommended chiropractic care to many family members and friends. I am a high school coach and have recommended chiropractic care for many of my athletes, not only for their spines but for other joint injuries. I will continue to recommend chiropractic care to everyone, as anyone can benefit from care regardless of injury or symptoms. Prevention and proper alignment are the keys to good health. “ ~ Kristen T.

“ I have an autoimmune disease that has put my physical body through a lot.  By chance I stopped in to see what chiropractor care could do for me.  I was very skeptical but was up for trying anything.  After a mere week I was blown away at how my body began to feel.  I continued sessions and within 3 weeks I felt like a different person.  Then Dr. Bobik mentioned a food sensitivity test, which I was on the fence about what it would really do for me, I found out I was sensitive to many things, but mainly gluten.  Dr. Bobik was very supportive and encouraging about trying it just for a few weeks to see.  Well last Thursday was a full month; I will never eat gluten foods again.  I have lost 10 pounds without more exercise, and my lab tests show my body's inflammation went down.  I can't describe the overall feeling of better health that I now have.  So in total I have been under their care for 7 weeks and I encourage anyone reading this to at least try 2 sessions and evaluate the experience for yourself but I would bet you won't believe what a difference you can feel when your body is in alignment.” ~ Elizabeth P. (June 2011)

“After a month of seeing Dr. Bobik, I have felt tremendous improvement. My mind and body together feel healthier than they have in a long time. I began care as an alternative to taking thyroid medication for the rest of my life. In treating that problem, I seem to be free of frequent headaches as well. My energy level is so much better! I feel many changes have begun to take place both mentally and physically. In my opinion, people would be better served if they were examined by a chiropractor before they seek treatment from a medical doctor.”  ~ Jeanne

“Prior to my visit with Dr. Bobik, I’d had two bad falls and after some physical therapy I felt pretty good. I resigned myself to the fact that I was getting older and therefore of course I’d be somewhat uncomfortable. Then I met Dr. Bobik. She takes time to answer and encourage any questions. She is thorough. I feel better and am now much more educated as to the how and why of the science of chiropractic health. I like knowing I have a choice and responsibility in the maintenance of my general health.”    ~ Helene P (age 60)
