Review from Macaire D.

My husband and I are new patients, but it's pretty obvious why Aligned has consistent five star reviews.
After two adjustments, I'm feeling great. Not only are their actual adjustments better than previous doctors I've seen, but the tools they use in treatment are superior to what I've seen before. Their treatment plans are also very reasonable and include massage therapy, pilates and yoga!
Their office staff is great and their office is nice and spacious. They also don't have a fear based approach and aren't pushy about their treatment, which is rare for a chiropractor. I also haven't had to wait for my appointments and the doctor has your full attention when they're with you.
Couldn't be happier! -

There is a reason this place gets the most 5 star reviews. In a word, the place is awesome. Everything about it is just impeccable. Went here today due to a fall down a flight of stairs last week. Dr. Bonsol explained everything step by step as I had never been to a chiropractor before. Brian, at the desk, was awesome, and Jeremy took me around and showed me the place.
I had been here before for a massage that was wonderful and for an art opening as well. I love that they support events for the community.
I'm so excited to go back on Thursday for my follow-up. I can't recommend this place more. I also had just called yesterday when they were closed and the got me in today. The pain is fading thanks to them. Not sure how much I could have withstood if I had opted to wait for an appointment elsewhere. Thanks everyone at Aligned Modern Health! -

I love Aligned Modern Health! I came to them in the fall with some persistent back and neck trouble, and I am so happy to say that they have made me feel so much better.
They really listen to me about my concerns and make sure to give me the treatment that would help me the most, as well as explain to me exactly what is going on with my body. They also recommended massages to me when they thought it would help (and who am I to turn down a massage recommendation?), and the massage therapist works wonders!
They also were extremely helpful and understanding during some insurance drama that happened a few months into my treatment, which just goes to show that they really do care about you, not just trying to get you in and out of their office so they can see the next patient.
Highly, highly recommended! -

I love this place and everything it stands for.
One of my best friends was the massage therapist here when it first opened so I came for one of their promotions of a cheap consultation/adjustment and 30 minute massage. That massage therapist is long gone and I haven't gone back for any chiropractic since.
What I have come back for-time and time again-is the yoga. Free yoga Monday and Wednesday nights? For the best yoga practices I've had in my life? Yes please! My only regret is that I don't go often enough.
But it's not only the yoga that keeps me coming back. It's the atmosphere here. You walk in and instantly feel relaxed. Everyone behind the desk is smiling, and everyone walking out looks even happier. There's always incredible new artwork on the walls. In addition to yoga, there are other fitness classes offered here, all free (I think). They also have workshops on different aspects of "modern health". The one I attended impacted my life so immensely I tell people that AMH has changed my life.
What a great space. I always feel inspired after I leave here. -

I have never had severe back or head issues (knock on wood) but my family believes in overall health and well being so I have gone to a Chiropractor since I was 13. When I moved to Chicago from Wisconsin I went about 4 years without finding a Chiropractor in Chicago and continued (when I was in WI) to go to my former doctor. Then we moved to Lakeview and on a random partnership with work, I found Aligned Modern Health and Dr. "Joel" (I'll call him Dr. Joel because I don't know his last name since I was only ever introduced to him as Joel); what a blessing! This is not just a "go get an adjustment and be on your way type of place!" They have a refreshing take on what I grew up with; overall health and well being! They offer FREE Yoga classes, Pilates, Kettle Ball Classes and I am sure more I can't think of (like fresh to your 'door' farmers produce)! They do massage and of course Chiropractic care. But here is the kicker that keeps me coming back! I have never, in all of my years of Chiropractic care as a patient (and I am in my 30's) had a doctor sit down and give me exercises to do outside of the office AND explain WHY! My initial visit I was shown everything that they took images of and explained WHERE I needed the most attention. This is not a dictatorship feeling office where you walk in and someone tells you what to do and you leave, it feels like a partnership where you are both (you and the dr.) committed to and involved in the process of your health. I cannot give Aligned Modern Health enough credit for what they do and what they believe in!

This review is long overdue. I have been a patient of Aligned Modern Health since March 2011. Having suffered from severe lower back pain for nearly ten years and not interested in risky surgeries or persistent medication, I was eager to try something new to address the issue.
After searching on Yelp for chiropractors in my neighborhood, I decided to check out Aligned Modern Health. My initial consultation was with Dr. Jeremy who put me at ease right away. He developed a treatment plan to address my specific back issues. After just a few visits, I was already feeling significant pain relief. My mobility and flexibility also improved dramatically.
While the frequency of my visits has decreased (in response to the positive results so far), I continue to visit Aligned for adjustments and therapeutic massage every month or so. In addition to Dr. Jeremy, I have also seen Dr. Joel for adjustments as well as Jerimie, Dana, and Marcia for massage. Andrew, who manages the office, has been extremely helpful with appointment scheduling and coordinating my insurance benefits.
Seeing the benefits of my visits, my husband is also a patient now and has also experienced very positive results in relation to general muscle/joint pain and fatigue.
Everyone I have encountered at Aligned has been extremely professional, helpful, caring, and engaging. The staff goes out of their way to ensure your individual comfort and has created a very inviting space. Aligned Modern Health is truly a neighborhood asset. -

I am pleased to rave about my first good experience at a chiropractor. I called in the morning in a significant amount of pain, and Dr. Bonsol was able to fit me in within an hour. I felt like I was being pampered and indulgent, in spite of the fact that I was there for a legitimate medical reason. The massage was incredibly relaxing and useful, and the oils, music, and really nice masseuse helped further improve the experience.
When I walked in, my hips were significantly out of alignment. When I walked out, my entire body was back where it should have been, including my neck and head. I instantly felt better. Throughout the process, Dr. Bonsol was nice and patient with me. He explained everything clearly, and it really helped me feel at ease.
Finally, I am perhaps most thrilled that Aligned Modern Health is the first chiropractor I have been to that did not try to make me a patient for life. I am used to results taking several appointments, expensive costs, and long speeches about treatment plans taking several months. Dr. Bonsol fixed my problem and told me to come back if it ever happens again. He found the cheapest payment method for me, saving me a significant amount of money, and told me about the free classes at Aligned that might help prevent the problem.
Thanks! -

I have seen a chiropractor from time to time over the years, although never regularly. I was quite, and pleasantly, surprised about the variety of services offered at Aligned Modern. Talk about well rounded health mindedness, these guys do it all! I am a big fan of the free yoga classes that they offer from time to time... and I am picky about yoga classes. (I used to be a professional ballet dancer so I like a thorough class) The massage ain't too shabby either.
I met with Dr. Joel and was very pleased with his manner. Indeed I felt great the next day, and I have struggled with some chronic pain since leaving dance.
I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, if not for a manipulation then at least for a yoga class or massage. Everyone was quite friendly, even the guy working the front desk. -

Marcia's therapeutic massage was awesome. Her active release technique profoundly improved my well-being following my injury. I wish I could go every week.

Congratulations on your opening, Aligned Modern Health. The space is incredible and beautifully designed. I can't wait to try the massage and Chiropractor services. I've heard wonderful compliments about Dr. Jeremy and Dr. Joel's professionalism.
Practicing (and guiding) yoga here was amazing! Thank you for the opportunity, and I personally look forward to exploring more of your complimentary fitness and health classes, especially Tai Chi! -

I found Aligned Modern Health through an http://active.com Swaggle deal for a spinal exam and massage this past July. I am a triathlete and I have Spondylolthesis. It began bothering me again this summer during heavy training and racing and normal massage was not helping. I also had other symptoms of spinal stress like sinus congestion.
I completed Ironman St. George in May, 2011 and several half Ironman races before coming to Aligned for help with my back. Dr. Bonsol laid out a course of 2 x weekly adjustment and massage therapy. After the first 2 adjustments my sinus congestion was gone. One month after beginning treatment at Aligned I raced a half Ironman triathlon and posted my fastest bike and run times at the distance by significant margins.
The big race came a month later at Ironman Wisconsin. Dr. Joel Maloof was also competing in this race, so it was great to be able to swap stories about training and racing Ironman with the staff at Aligned. Having this mutual athletic pursuit means that the doctors know how to treat the ailments that come with heavy training for multisport racing and are not just the traditional chiropractic care, though they excel there too.
The outcome for me at Ironman Wisconsin was awesome. I posted my fastest time by over an hour in the 3 Ironmans I have completed. There is no doubt that the chiropractic treatment I received at Aligned in the 2 months leading up to that race played a large part in helping me maximize my performance. I got off the bike after swimming 2.4 miles and riding 112 miles feeling great and ready to put in a solid 26.2 mile run. Where once there was always pain in my lower back after a long ride like that there was none and I was able to run a good marathon.
My hereditary spinal condition will never completely go away, but through adjustment and core strengthening it can be minimized and managed to allow me to train and race at a high level.
Aligned Modern Health is now part of my team to get me to the finish line faster than ever. -

I really like this place. I had some pretty severe back trouble recently and decided to give these guys a try. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and Dr. Joel. They fixed me up in only a few sessions. I highly recommend Dr. Joel. He is one of the best chiropractors I have ever been to.

Went to the facility for a special yoga class. It was a nice space. The environment seemed calming and clean. Also, the equipment seemed to be new or in very good shape. If ever I have a need for a cleanse or chiropractic care, I would definitely check this place out.

Free Zumba and Yoga classes in the neighborhood? Can you really ask for more? I have only experiences the fitness classes at Aligned, but all I can say is I am completely impressed with them. Everyone at Aligned is super friendly and welcoming! There's just a really positive vibe going on there...I'll continue to hang out at Aligned!

I had thought about going to a chiropractor for a long time because I have back problems sometimes. I finally decided to go because Aligned Modern Health was offering a special for a $25 30 minute massage plus wellness check. I didn't know what to expect from the wellness check (some telling me to diet and exercise maybe?), but the massage sounded good. First, the space is beautiful and I got a tour. They have space for their fitness classes, plus rooms for exams and massages. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.
First they did the wellness check, which turned out to be a chiropractic exam. This was SO MUCH MORE than I could have expected!!! Dr. Jeremy talked me through the whole idea of chiropractic services- how it is not just about your back (like I had previously thought)- it is about your whole nervous system. He explained the many benefits that can come from chiropractic services because your nervous system, obviously, affects your entire body. My frequent headaches and sinus tension, for example, could be helped by chiropractic services. He did an exam and found areas of tension immediately. He explained everything he was doing. It was so nice to have someone actually take the time to listen and explain things rather than just try to shove you out the door- which is my usual experience at my regular doctor's office. I didn't feel rushed or hurried; it felt easy and calm.
Oh, but then onto the massage- which was wonderful. I felt so great afterwards- relaxed and peaceful. Such a nice feeling! I have only had one other massage in my life, so I cannot really compare to other places, but this was a really enjoyable experience.
I will definitely go back for both chiropractic services and more massages (I may be hooked)...and this is from someone who was hesitant to go in the first place. -

At the time I came upon Aligned at a health fair where Dr. Jeremy Bonsol gave me an amazing 10 minute chair massage, my back needed a lot of work and I was suffering from winter-long sinus issues; I was convinced that a visit to Aligned would help me. I didn't realize how much it would! When I came in for my visit, congestion was so bad that I could barely open one of my eyes. By the time I left from seeing Dr. Bonsol for chiropractic and a 60 minute massage (I can't remember the masseuse's name), I was a new person. I only wish I wasn't temporarily staying in Chicago - I would always be at the studio!! If you're interested in holistic medicine or even just want a massage or to take a zumba class, Aligned is a Chicago gem.

I am so glad this office opened near me. The space is calming and Dr. Bonsol is amazing! He talks you through everything he is doing and is very thorough in his exams and treatment. I have also visited two of their massage therapists and they were both fantastic! I look forward to my appointments and feel better than ever!

This is also my first yelp review, and I've been meaning to write it for the past month, regarding Aligned Modern Health--specifically Dana, one of the massage therapists there.
I am making an appointment for my third massage with Dana, in the past six weeks. I usually only treat myself to a massage a few times a year, but since finding Dana, and Aligned Modern Health, I've made some exceptions!
She gives AMAZING deep tissue massages! I exercise regularly and really enjoy getting a massage to relax my muscles/work out any knots, however, I have a hard time finding someone who finds all the trigger points and applies deep enough pressure to really work any tension out of my back (I like massages that are almost to the point of pain in trouble areas).
Dana is really great and very personable, however I'd like to also say that everyone I've met there (Dr. Bonsol, Andy--at the front desk) are very friendly and accommodating as well. The space is beautiful--great relaxing music and very clean.
I would highly recommend this place--and especially Dana, if you're for an amazing massage!! -

I have not had chiropractic services here, but I did take a wonderful yoga class with Elizabeth, so I can comment on that. The class was great. Elizabeth provided good and caring instruction, guiding us through an excellent stretching and strengthening practice. It was a comfortable environment and the new facilities are very nice.
