I've been seeing Dr. Michalowski for about 6 years. He has worked on my back pain, hip pain, and issues with chronic urinary tract infections, he has helped me to feel me again! Not only has he treated my physical pain, but he is truly one of the most caring doctors who will listen to you, honestly listen. He is a doctor who wants to get to know his patients in order to help them; he will try beyond his best to make his patients feel great again.

I am pleased to say that Dr. Michalowski's care was exceptional! Not only did he help alleviate my pain, but cared for my total health. I couldn't recommend a finer Chiropractic Physician!

Our Testimonial;
"Thank you, Dr. Gary for giving some quality life back to my husband! Our story begins on good Friday 2002 which will forever marked our lives, it was on this day that the phantom of tragedy decided to make a visit in our lives. Javier a soccer player, mountain biker, marathon runner was diagnosed with double pneumonia of which he soon had to be comatose for a period of 6 months in which he was legally declared brain dead, while in a coma he suffered 2 strokes, septic emboli to the brain amongst other critical problems. It was only when he come out of the comatose state that we became aware of the strokes and the septic emboli, as a result he has right side paralysis, speech and vision impediments. It has been a very long road to recovery, after being in numerous hospitals and rehabilitation centers and treatments we continue to fight for a way to recovery. After having to drive long distances for over 6 years I decided to take him for treatments locally it was then that we found Dr. Gary, he has been an Angel sent from heaven, his experience, compassion, sincerity and love for his field of work has made incredible impact in our lives. We had visited numerous chiropractors in the past and no one had taken the interest, patience and time to work through our problems. Javier is in constant pain due to the spasticity in his arms and legs, being his full time caregiver I have issues of my own. Since we have been treated by Dr Gary I must proclaim that the relief that my husband and I feel after the treatments helps us to continue on. Dr. Gary treatments consist of E-stem, Heat, Chiropractic maneuvers as well as a manual decompression machine which provides the most wonderful relief for our spine. After the treatments we feel fully renewed and free of pain. Thanks to Dr Gary our Quality of Life has improved and I can honestly say we are on a road to better life.
I am most grateful to Dr Gary and his approach to correcting skeletal problems, without the debilitating side effects of surgery, prescription medicine and drugs. We have not lost hope we have many dreams in the horizon that still need to be conquered.
Best Regards,
Javier and Bertha M.
I have been associated with Dr. Gary Michalowski for almost thirty years. My mother is the office manager and co-worker of Gary. This has been an amazing gift and convenience for me. Throughout my life, Gary has helped me tremendously, not only as a family friend and someone I have looked up to, but also with my health and well-being. From torn knee ligaments in football to back pain from construction, Dr. Gary has always been there for me. I have seen him for just about every body ache I have suffered throughout my life with positive results. Not only has he helped me personally but I have seen him work miracles in the lives of many, many people with debilitating conditions. His big heart and calm demeanor are very comforting and relaxing in the treatment room. His rates are reasonable, most insurance policies cover treatments, and he is always willing to work out payment plans and discounts for those who are less fortunate. It is definitely not about financial profit but only health, well-being, and healing with this man. I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Gary Michalowksi for any chiropractic need. I am forever grateful to have him in my life.

Dear Dr. Gary,
I am writing this letter to show my appreciation for your wonderful work correcting the pain that I had in my back and hips. When I think back to how long I suffered with this pain and now, finally, how wonderful I feel, I realized that I must let you know.
I had looked up chiropractors in our local phone book and found your name. After having a couple of treatments, the pain was nearly gone. Now, after a short period of follow-ups treatments I can happily tell you that I feel great.
Your honesty, friendly, caring manner and of course your professional skill are the best! You and your assistant, Jan always made me feel very relaxed and "in good hands". I have and will continue to recommend your Chiropractic Office.
Thank you.

I had chronic plantar fasciitis in my right foot and had been seeing a podiatrist for over a year. None of the remedies he tried alleviated the pain. As a last resort, he recommended a cortisone injection, of which I didn’t want, as I believe it temporarily masks the problem rather than cure it.
I thought I would try a chiropractor and made an appointment to see Dr. Gary. Dr. Gary is very knowledgeable and always makes sure you are comfortable with any and all treatments before they are given. After seeing Dr. Gary for several months the pain in my right foot finally went away. I still continue to see him for maintenance on my foot.
I appreciate his knowledge and personal care. He makes it convenient to schedule appointments that fit your time frame.
I highly recommend giving good chiropractic care a serious try before other options.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gary for over five years. I really appreciate the way he treats his patients. He is genuinely concerned about your total wellbeing, and your treatment is totally private so you feel free to ask questions. You never feel rushed when you are there, and he does not pressure you into coming 5 times a week, or buy an extended “contract” for services, like some other chiropractors. I consider Dr. Gary a key part of my pain management team and have recommended him to my friends.

I've found Dr. Gary to not only be very knowledgeable and helpful, but truly concerned about his patients. It's refreshing to find a doctor who treats you as a person, not a "paycheck".

I had severe back pain and experienced difficulty walking. A surgeon told me that I have ruptured discs and required surgery. A friend recommended that I first consult Dr. Gary Michalowski and he saw me immediately. Dr. Michalowski evaluated my condition gently made adjustments, applied heat therapy, and guided me through some exercises. By the third treatment session I could notice a difference. I was able to move better with less pain.
I still continue with the exercises, heat therapy and regular maintenance adjustments. I’m pain free and back to jogging three miles a day, 5 days a week. I Haven’t experienced back pain or difficulty walking for over a year.
I certainly recommend Dr. Michalowski.

I have been a patient of Dr. Michalowski for the past several years. He began treating me when I was having pain from a compressed disc. While I eventually needed surgery to repair this disc, the months beforehand were made endurable because of Dr. Michalowski’s care. He always patiently explained to me the reasons I was feeling the pain and what he was dong to try to alleviate the pain. Throughout this ordeal, I always felt assured that Dr. Michalowski was understanding of the physical condition and was capable to help me find relief. Fortunately, the surgery did correct the problem. I now see Dr. Michalowski more for “maintenance” to keep my back in good condition and relatively pain free. I honestly believe that Dr. Michalowski’s care made an incredible difference in how I was able to deal with my pain. I would recommend Dr. Michalowski to anyone needing chiropractic services.

The therapy I receive is complimented by a very patient and calm professional that really listens...Dr. Gary gives you his undivided attention and never makes you feel rushed...the adjustment and therapy applied is comforting and lasts with a relatively quick remedy. Thank you Dr. Gary for your time and respect!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gary at Lemont Chiropractic Center for many years with different back, neck and wrist conditions. His treatments have always been very helpful, and therapeutic, and I always end up being pain free.
I broke my wrists when I was younger, and they would lock up preventing me from using my hands. Every doctor I saw just gave me braces and time off work, not solving the problem, and severely limiting my everyday life. My parents made me an appointment with Dr. Gary, and his treatments prevent my wrists from locking up.
I am a truck driver and this involves heavy lifting, pushing and pulling, and on several occasions my back has given out. With the care Dr. Gary has provided, I recover quickly, and do not need pain medications which would prevent me from doing my job.
I have recommended Dr. Gary too many friends and relatives, and I recommend him to anyone who has problems, aches or pains in their muscles, bones or joints. I am now pregnant and plan to see Dr. Gary through my pregnancy.
I have been very grateful for Dr. Gary, he has helped me and many other people stay healthy and walking straight. I hope he stays around for many more years to come. Take it from me, before trying a pain specialist, or surgery, try Dr. Gary, who will listen and try different therapies to keep you from the knife.

I suppose saying that Dr. Michalowski has treated me on and off since I was 17, might sound like a bad thing. I assure you, it is not. My treatments began during High School when an over-zealous softball coach, that I did not want to disappoint, suggested joining a batting league pre-season. My lower back did not take kindly to all the swinging, nor practices running up and down concrete stairs and throwing from the outfield to home base. Dr. Michalowski was able to work out the kinks and get me feeling fine for my Senior season.
I have been involved in several accidents, the first when I was 18, which resulted in affecting my neck. Dr. Michalowski has been able to work with me on trying different techniques, exercises and pillows, to correct my stubborn neck. Currently, I’m sort of on a ‘monthly maintenance’ visit.
Dr. Michalowski is easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say. In 2003, I shared with him that I was having difficulty trying to conceive, he suggested adding acupressure to my course of treatment. The pressure points addressed were specifically to assist in fertility. My first child, a daughter, was born in December, 2004. I truly believe that adding the acupressure, along with my chiropractic treatment assisted in my conceiving.
My opinion of Dr. Michalowski is that he is professional, but laid back enough to make anyone feel comfortable. I love his type of treatment. I am not just thrown on a machine, manipulated and ‘pushed’ out the door. Time and care is taken with each visit. I think what I like most about his type of treatment provided, is that machines don’t work out the muscles for him. He’s hands on and can feel where you are tight or kinked, or miserable and work it out manually. I have never hesitated to recommend Dr. Michalowski to anyone who is in need of chiropractic services.
