One of the best Chiropractor – I have gone to many chiropractors over the years for headaches. Dr. Schalow is the first one to give me true relief. The process he uses has helped to relieve my pain, and bring a sense of true wellness.

Gentle but effective – Dr. Schalow introduced my family to NUCCA chiropractic years ago, and we've found it to be far more helpful than any other chiropractic technique. It's incredibly gentle, yet you walk away knowing that something big has happened. His understanding of what's going on in the body is truly a gift from God!

His treatment for me was nothing short of a miracle! – I have spent the last 3 years with 4 disc problems ranging from ruptured to bulging. I basically lost at least 2 years of my life not being able to do anything that required standing or sitting. Dressing was even difficult. I've been advised by the doctors that surgery was my only option for the pain and my "disc degeneration" was something I would have to live with. I tried traditional chiropractic (I'm scared to death of them!), VAX-D, Osteopathic treatments, massage t... read more

THe best doctor in Rockford – This doctor really cares about his patients health. When I was punched in the head, he fixed the subluxation that I had and he put the ones in my head back in place. Thanks for being awesome, Dad!

I Feel Great Now! – I was in a car crash over 18 years ago. since then I have seen countless doctors to alleviate the neck and should pain I developed. I tried most forms of therapy and none of them brought me any sustainable relief. Dr. Schalow knew what to do and put me on a schedule of NUCCA treatments. It has been two months and I am virtually pain free. NUCCA worked for me, it may work for you as well.

All I can say is WOW! – About 15 yrs ago I was in a car accident, since then I have had neck and shoulder pain. In the last few yrs I started noticing other pain..... hip, hands, migrains. A few yrs ago someone told me about the NUCCA method and I just blew it off. I had been to sooooo many chiropractors that I just didnt want to try another one. Well, I went to our local fair where they had a booth and decided to give it a try. I am soooooo happy I did because after going there just once I had relief in the muscles on my sh... read more

NUCCA technique – I must say that I am partial due to an uncle who practiced this techique and treated all the family when he was living. My first adjustment was at 3-4 years of age. This technique has always given me the results without having to constantly be treated with weekly or more often visits. Progress is noticed in increments. Sometimes subtile. It is well worth giving it a chance to increase your overall well being.

Cured from Sclerosis – I have been to several chiropractors prior to seeing Dr. Schallow with no improvement on my sclerosis symptoms. Now I am in complete health and healed! This physician really gives you 120% and will help you every step of the way to recovery. I now cannot imagine not having him as part of my medical treatment individual care plan. Just see him!!!!

I drive 3 hours to get here – unique and effective upper cervical emphasis. So different from traditional chiropractic. You have to try it to believe it.
