I came to Dr. Dan with some neck pain I had been experiencing on/off for about a year. I am glad I found him! He quickly identified the issue and started me on a personalized non-invasive treatment plan which included stretching, adjustments, massage therapy, and traction.The pain quickly subsided over the first week, and he was able to get my lower and thoracic spine aligned within a month! We are still working on getting the neck alignment back to square, but I can feel it is on the right path, and have already gotten back to lifting and running pain-free.To top it off, once I moved from Chicago to NYC, he even referred me to a similarly highly regarded chiropractor in NYC so I could continue with my treatment plan.Just want to thank him and his wonderful staff for all the hard work, and would recommend them to anyone feeling any sort of neck/back discomfort!

PhyxMe Physical Therapy has been a sanctuary for me since mid September when I came in with a pain in my left shoulder so bad that it was literally debilitating. Dr. Dan and the whole gang here (Martin squared, Christian, Amy) are not just professional but also extremely warm and welcoming. I was dreading the thought of physical therapy before I started my program here and what I had imagined this to be was so far from reality. I would refer anyone and everyone I know to this spot- over and over and over again. Im very much looking forward to seeing the after results and can imagine the progress to be great! Highly recommend anyone questioning this spot to give it a shot. Give it a month and see what happens- I can guarantee zero disappointment!

Im incredibly happy with the service and advice I have received from Dan and phyxMe Physical Therapy. Their integrative and functional approach to healing has offered tremendous help to me and my family. Thank you so much for focusing on the WHOLE body to maintain health.

Phyxme physical therapy provides the best service in the city. I have known Dr. Dan for years and there is no one that I trust more with my body. Great bedside manner and really cares for his patients.

This Dr has improved my life! I suffer from degenerative disc disease and tremendous nerve pain. With his skill and education I have been able to cut back on pain meds and my activities of daily living have improved greatly! I have depression too and being in less pain and more mobile I am much more happier. Thank you Dr!

I have been seeing Dr. Dan for quite some time due to herniated disc issues, sciatica, and general disc degeneration discomfort. His knowledge, care, and professionalism are unparalleled. My issues have vastly improved and I continue to visit regularly for continued maintenance on my back. Dr Dan and his staff are great to be around, and I can honestly say I look forward to my bi-monthly visits in to see them. I recommend him and his team highly!

Very knowledgeable and I have been very pleased with the progress I’ve made. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

I had been experiencing severe neck pain and headaches off and on for years and had been to several different doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists. Some provided relief, some none at all, my neck pain and headaches just would NOT go away. I finally decided to go to phyxMe Physical Therapy after being recommended to me by a friend. I am SO happy I decided to go because after an incredibly thorough evaluation where Dr. Dan took the time to LISTEN and completely review my personal history and take me through an intensive evaluation process. I FINALLY learned what was causing my headaches. Dr. Dan specializes in treating problems like mine and it showed. I am now pain-free and have learned what I need to do to keep myself pain-free and functioning well. If you are looking for a doctor who truly cares and KNOWS HIS STUFF, this is the place for you! You wont regret it!

Ive been visiting Dr. Dan on and off for many years, mostly for mid-low back and neck pain. Each time, his treatments have always fixed the symptoms and through various therapies, often fixed the original problem. At the start of the Covid situation, I had excruciating mid-low back pain - sitting, standing, laying down provided no relief. I visited his office 3x per week for a number of weeks, seemingly only feeling slightly better, then quite suddenly, after another set of treatments, the pain literally vanished. Zero discomfort, zero stiffness, zero anything - its quite remarkable. Ive recommended Dr. Dan to a number of friends and will continue to do so here. Hes a miracle worker.

PhyxMe was a great choice when I relocated to Chicago. I have had chronic neck and back issues for years due to herniated discs and other spine alignment problems. The team at PhyxMe is very knowledgeable and they combine chiropractic care with thorough physical therapy- which is perfect for me. In addition, they offer flexible scheduling and payment options. Highly recommend.

Dr. Dan and PhyxMe have been a wealth of information for me. Theres no doubt in my mind that his knowledge about chiropractic care and various physical therapy exercises have helped me during my time in Chicago!

There arent enough stars on the scale to give Dr. Dan and his team at phyxMe Physical Therapy. Prior to meeting him, I had seen several physical therapists and chiropractors for my neck issues with little, temporary, or no resolve. So naturally, when a close friend of mine referred me to him (glowingly I might add) for some serious issues with neck mobility and pain, I was skeptical.Its been 7 years since then and I can firmly say that walking into his office that first day was and is still one of the most pivotal and best decisions I ever made for my health. Dr. Dan is easily one of the most knowledgeable, comprehensive, and down to earth health care providers that I have ever been too. Ive continued to see him on and off for a range of issues that have cropped up with my body. He always has an individualized and customized treatment that he develops by taking the time assess my problem thoroughly both directly, and by listening, a quality that is sorely lacking with most clinicians. Treatment is second to none, and has always been incredibly effective.Whats best about Dr. Dan is that he pinpoints the problem and creates a treatment that supplements all the collateral issues contributing to the central dysfunction. Not to mention the fact that hes always willing to share his vast knowledge on health and wellness with respect to other healthy habits to incorporate into ones life.Because of him, my body has changed, as well as my my way of thinking about my health and the habits that come with that, and for that Im most grateful. Him and his team at phyx Me will continue to be the only place that I refer friends and others alike.Grateful for Dr. Dan and his entire team!

I used to suffer from migraine headaches for years! My son suggested I try his chiropractor at Phyxme Physical Therapy and Chiropractic. Dr Dan is a wonderful doctor. He gave me adjustments, physical therapy, and exercises. He goes the extra mile for all of his patients. I no longer get migraines thanks to Dr Dan! He is an amazing person that really cares for you. After a month of therapy, my insurance denied coverage, regardless he continued to help me If you suffer from chronic pain and are tired of drugs that don’t help please try seeing Dr Dan Jacobazzi

Had an excellent experience at PhyxMe Physical Therapy! Great service, inviting atmosphere and most importantly top notch professional care!

I met Dr. Jacobazzi by happen stance and decided to give Phyxme physical therapy a chance, while on vacation in Chicago. During my visit, Dr. Jacobazzi proved to be extremely insightful, friendly, and informed! We discussed An array of things that I will utilize for the rest of my life. I cannot express how absolutely blown away I was with every part of this interaction, This was by far the most informative and life changing doctors visit I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. I appreciate a doctor that expands their horizons , thinks outside of the box in terms of treatment and understanding how the body works and suggestions that arent simply copy and pasted for lack of a better term. I can absolutely whole heartedly say, you will NOT be disappointed. Choose PhyxMe ! My only regret is not being able to visit until my next!

Dr. Dan and his team at PhyxMe Physical Therapy have helped me feel so much better! I initially went for some pain I was feeling in my hip from running, and then again when I had an accident and fractured my rib.Something that made me feel secure with continuing my physical work there was when Dr. Dan showed me my x-rays and pointed out, but also explained, the internal issues that related to my pain. I would have never known what was really going on in my body without his expertise.Throughout the whole time I have worked with them, I have felt their experience and attention. I remember getting frustrated through the first or second month (I am a highly sensitive person, so pain really gets to me...), but once I continued and started feeling better, I learned you may feel some pains because your body is moving and adjusting!When COVID hit, I took a break. But then I had an accident and fell on my right side, fracturing my rib. After it healed I was still in so much pain, and couldn’t even fall asleep some nights. Once I started going back to Dr. Dan and his team, I have truly felt better, and I am sleeping better again. I also feel extremely safe at their facility. This is the right place!!

Dr.Dan is the best Chiropractor/Physical Therapist in Chicagoland Area hands down, I should know cuz I been to a lot of them and no one helped me more with my back pain than my now friend Dr.Dan. He really cares about his patients and wants to get them back to 100 percent. I have recommended Dr.Dan and his Crew at phyxMe to multiple people and will continue to do so.

My daughter plays collegiate golf, but struggles with back issues caused by scoliosis. We live in Grand Rapids, MI but knew Dr. Dan was who we needed to see to help her.He did all the necessary tests to determine what was needed, in a timely and efficient manner. He even emailed us the next day a reminder of how/when to use her back brace, shoe lift, and which exercises she needs to do.She is diligent with all that he has asked of her, and she already feels so much better. We are excited (and relieved) that she does not need surgery, and is on her way to a stronger, healthier back.Thank you so much, Dr. Dan. We will continue to make the trip to Chicago for the necessary follow-up appointments. And, of course, enjoy the city while we’re there.

Dr Dan gave me exercises over a year ago that often made changes in my migraine patterns. He also continued (due to accidental oversight) to charge me after I had paid up in full (over the course of a YEAR) and has spammed my inbox with “Covid Treatments” that have been widely discredited. There is very little personalization, as he seems to have a general plan for everyone, and the PT is run more like a circuit between a number of providers. Total consult time with Dr. Dan per visit after the first one is 5 minutes for an adjustment on the bench.

Phyxme physical therapy is hands down the best physical therapy place to go to help your body. I’ve been going for over a year now and have seen amazing results. Dr Dan takes his time to get to know you and makes it easy for you to understand what is wrong and how to fix it. Consultation is very thorough and X-ray results are given the next day. Highly recommend if you have any type of physical pain!

Dan Jacobazzi has been wonderful. I have had back and neck issues since middle school age. He has helped alleviate any pain. He has also helped me we stretches and counsel as I train for a marathon. He is excellent at explaining the x-rays and diagnosis. He takes the time to work through the exercises and genuinely cares about the people he treats. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. Just a great overall experience.

I had a really great experience at Align Joint & Spine. Having been through physical therapy a few times before for popped-out joints and injuries, Im no stranger to rehab, and the team at Align Joint & Spine not only made this experience so much better than the norm, but they helped get me back on my feet and exercising again faster than I could have ever thought possible. They made an experience thats often incredibly painful into one of positive encouragement, helping me regain my strength.

In full disclosure, I never would have thought I would be treated by a chiropractor. But extreme pain in my arm and hand, stemming from my spine, was seriously interfering with life. I was desperate. Enter Dr. Dan and Team. I called on a Thursday and they were able to get me in that same day - this was not a one-off accommodation, they are always extremely flexible with scheduling and respectful of time. We chatted about my pain, then I was examined and x-rayed. The following day I was given a 12 page detailed report of my particular issue! A treatment plan was put in place that was explained in laymans terms. Dr. Dan is unique in that not only is he a licensed chiropractor, but also a physical therapist. This is important because he truly understands the body and has multiple tools in his toolbox in which to alleviate pain. A one-trick pony he is not.If you are going to be frequenting a place 3X/week for a few months, you better like it and feel comfortable there, and I do. The atmosphere is upbeat, the staff lighthearted, jokes abound among the staff and patients. They play good tunes. You can grab a free snack on the way out the door. Its all good:-)And now Im happy to say that Im good, not 100% yet because Im still in treatment, but about 98% there. After first visiting a well-known Chicago physical therapy center without getting even a modicum of relief, I am so happy I found Align Joint & Spine and am absolutely grateful for Dr. Dans expertise in healing me.

I highly recommend Align Joint & Spine. As someone who has never had a serious injury, I did not know what to expect when coming in for physical therapy. Dr. Jacobazzi is patient and takes the time to explain your diagnosis and recovery plan. You can tell he really enjoys what he does. His staff is great and the atmosphere is enjoyable. People are always laughing and smiling which is a good sign for a place that people go to when in pain. You will not be disappointed.

I originally went in for knee pain I experienced while running. After a few months of treatment, Im able to run without pain and have fixed spine alignment that was unknown to me before. Id recommend Dr. Dan and his staff!

Dr. Dan embodies everything youd want in a physical therapist. He listens to your concerns, creates a program specific to your needs, provides you with honest feedback, & helps you create realistic goals while challenging you to recover in an efficient & healthy manner. His staff is well-trained & attentive to your needs, & his facility is setup so that youre never waiting for treatment. The space is a clean & welcoming environment, and I look forward to continuing my self-care with Dr. Dan!

When I went to Align Joint & Spine for my first visit I could barely walk without having back and leg pain. Through numerous therapy appointments Dr. Dan and his team worked the pain away. The staff is very attentive, they make you feel comfortable from your first visit and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Dan and staff are a cognizant group that are 100% flexible to their patients time and typical schedule. While doctors visits can be intimidating Dr. Dan is able to quickly build a rapport with his patients that is the encouraging. For a working professional with always changing schedule, Dr. Dans office provides the ultimate flexibility within a set of hours that are also geared towards treating individuals that work 9-5 jobs.Regarding the diagnosis and plan, the setup was clearly explained and the benefits and progress were assessed at realistic intervals. 10 weeks into my plan I have seen considerable progress in more than one area.I am now, 1.25 years into our treatment plan, and the impact has been consistent and steady over that time. With an at-home plan established, I am able to have less in-office visits (two times per month) yet see the same kind of progress.In addition to resolving a nerve issue in my foot, the treatment plan has positively impacted my immune system and daily sleep. Since I have seen Dr. Dan, I am sick less and sleep better.I would recommend Dr. Dan and staff for any physical ailment especially those focused in the back and neck area.

Dr. Dan has made a serious impact in my life. I work a job that severely hurts my body and when I went to Dan I could barely stay bent over or kneeling for more than 10 minutes. After a initial exam and straight forward treatment plan, I feel 100% better. Im more flexible and dont have the issue with my back locking up on me. I cant stress enough how amazing Dans services have been in improving my quality of life.

Ive been a loyal patient of Dr. Dans for over 15 years. Over that time, hes helped me conquer back pain and come back from major reconstructive shoulder surgery, among others.I just turned 40 and Im still a competitive athlete and fitness professional thanks to Dr. Dan. If youre interested in high performance, squeezing every last mile out of the chassis, or just plain feeling better and living pain free, you need to work with Dr. Dan!

Can I give 6 stars? I cant express how amazing they are, my life is so much better now. I tweaked my lower back years ago and at different times went to a chiropractor and a PT and didnt get results and was unimpressed. Then the injury caught up to me and I had a severely herniated disk in my lower back. I went to a surgeon at Rush and they told me its just a random injury and I had surgery to fix it, which helped with the acute issues. 6 months later I had a minor re-injury then a month later I had an extreme re-injury, I couldnt leave bed for 2 weeks and was in agonizing pain for 2 more weeks, it was horrible.I knew that the surgeon wasnt treating the underlying issues and they just wanted more surgery, then I found Dr. Dan and his team. He looks at the body as a system, not just at the one place thats hurting right now. He was able to explain what happened and why and showed me the issues via xrays and compared my body to what is normal. He laid out a plan and was honest about the long timeline and explained why and explained what he expected my progression to be like.After 6 weeks, during one of the sessions I literally felt the herniated disc release a bunch of pressure on my nerves, and the pain and muscle cramping went down 75% and I literally cried at the relief. I kept going for months and now my back feels better than it did when I tweaked it, and I know the root cause of the pain so I can avoid bad movements and can do things to help it at home.Seriously, I tell everybody I know about him. If youre having any issues, at least come in and have him take a look and explain it. The only reason you shouldnt is because if I have some other injury I dont want him to be so busy I cant get in. This probably sounds like some shill just hyping him up, but after the hell I went though Im just so happy with where I am and to be able to do activities again. Thanks Dr. Dan and your team!

AMAZING! Dr. Dan was able to ‘phyxMe’ and relieve my pain in exactly the number of visits he predicted! I came into the office barely able to use my hands and even hold a pen to complete the paperwork. Within the first month, the pain was gone and during the next 2 months my posture improved, my strength returned, and I was able to physically do more than normal. I had spent almost 2 years at a pain management clinic prior to coming here and the results I had in 3 months is a testimony to his expertise and knowledge of his approach. The entire staff is warm and friendly and always happy to help. I will be continuing treatment and have already recommended Dr. Dan to all my friends!

What sets hpiChicago apart from the rest is the friendliness of the staff, Dr. Dans openness and willingness to discuss the therapy and why hes doing what hes doing. But most importantly, to me at least, is the xrays used for the initial consult and the follow up to show the actual structural changes and measure the progress of the treatment.On top of all that, the facility is always clean, everything is in good repair, and you can tell that this is a business that he cares about.

Top tier treatment. High level of service and care I have not found in any other physical therapy offering. I cannot recommend their services enough.

I have been going to Dr. Dan for about two years now in an effort to have as little pain as possible.No matter what kind of pain life brings you, Dr. Dan will be there to help. He will educate you and empower you to live the healthiest life you possibly can. Dr. Dan and his team have been treating my pain condition successfully without any surgeries or ongoing medications. I highly recommend Align Joint & Spine to anyone. Also, shoutout to Helen for always being so cool with rescheduling and answering any questions I have. Thank you Dr. Dan and team!

Dr Dan knows whats what with overall wellness. He was very accommodating today and took me right in for a consultation and gave me advice on how to manage my condition.He even sent me off with some new fitness schwag, furthermore, having a gym at your wellness clinic just makes sense.Thanks again,

Definitely a 5. The Doctor listens and has a comprehensive understanding of the body. I had gone to several doctors from neurological to your everyday doctor and no one could tell me what was wrong with me. It was not until Dr. Jacobazzi came along that I finally received a concrete answer and solution, since then I have been able to feel my hands, and finally my sleep is back to normal. You should give him a try.

Always caringAlways making sure all is okCaring and educated staff.

I recently went to Align Joint & Spine for PT for a surgically repaired hip labral tear. The post op called for 3 months of PT, so I went somewhere that I would enjoy being spending a lot of time at.They came up with a rehab plan centered around the recommendation of the surgeon and they knocked it out of the park. The team over their is very friendly and flexible when it comes to scheduling. Dr. Dan is always available to speak and knows his stuff backwards and forwards, as do the trainers.

From the first visit, everything about Align Joint & Spine was great. I always felt that my best interest was put first, and everything is always explained clearly.I always feel like a priority and the doctor always takes the time to answer any questions I have. My issues were addressed and I quickly began making process over the course of my custom-made plan.I highly recommend anyone experiencing back pain, neck pain, or additional injury to take the time to pay Dr. Dan a visit.

Great staff and I’m thankful for the whole team for the rehab help I got for my shoulder. It was easy to fit appointments in with my work schedule and the therapy focused on healing me long term vs just a quick fix. Dr. Dan is great and knows his stuff!

Ive been struggling with knee and lower back pain for several years and live in the neighborhood. After deciding I was way too young to feel like I feel, made an appointment here for an exam to see what they had to say and, more importantly, what my options I had. Dr. Dan performed a comprehensive exam and the following day, got my results ... Wow, Im glad he took x-rays because I never would have believed it if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes. After explaining what I had going on, I was given a few options for treatment and chose the one that made the most sense to me. I like the fact it seems to be a cooperative process instead of someone talking at you. Ive only been under care for about a month but, Im already starting to feel better and look forward to seeing how much progress I will make as I work through my program. Great staff and great program!

Im thankful for the entire staff at AJ&S. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The rehab on my shoulder was relatively painless and took less time than I originally anticipated. I highly recommend them.I cant wait to do something dumb again so I can go back!!

Dr. Dan is extremely knowledgable and has a great bedside manner. His staff and assistants are all friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure they have hours that fit your schedule.

Only clinic I could find near me that would bill through a third party after an auto accident. I was rear-ended on the highway and didnt realize the extent of my injuries until about a month out. Dr. Dan is very personable and easy to trust. He has a background in both chiropractic and PT. His employees are fun to work with as well. Happy to have found a place I like since Im going 3x/week for 12 weeks. Thanks phyxMe Physical Therapy!

Ive seen a few chiropractors over the years in 3 cities and no one has been able to treat my underlying issues like Dan has. Since hes both a PT and Chiropractor, hes uniquely able to diagnose and treat in a very holistic way which is extremely hard to find anywhere else.For example, Ive had chronic back issues for at least a decade, with more recent issues splintering off, and can now workout without restrictions and have even started a martial art.Additionally, Dan provides flexibility to ensure you can handle whatever payment amount you might be responsible for.

After being involved in an auto accident a friend at Northwestern Hospital referred me to Align Joint & Spine and I could not have picked a better place to assist and guide me in the healing process. I sustained injuries to my neck, along with mid and low back. Dr. Dan developed a custom plan to target my injured areas with chiropractic treatment combined with physical therapy and has explained every step of my healing journey clearly and concisely. He explained that the goal of Align Joint and Spine is to help me heal from the accident with a focus on long term health and wellness. Im not 100% but Im on my way and feel like I am in good caring hands. Thanks to Dr Dan and his entire staff for the excellent care Ive received.

HpiChicago is phenomenal. I came in a few years ago with chronic sciatic and back pain. The pain itself quickly faded under the careful chiropractic care and with their recommended exercises and great gym, I was able to complete a personal record in the Chicago marathon. Theres no better physical therapy center or gym in Ravenswood and I fully anticipate being a patron for years.

Great chiropractor and Physical Therapist! Professional and courteous staff. Top of the line technology employed. Dr. Dan is very knowledgeable, detailed, and just an all around great guy to work with. Highly recommend AJS.

Dan and his whole team are great. The combination of physical therapy with chiropractic worked well for me. Severe neck pain after an injury has been cured. In addition to curing the pain, my posture improved. Dan and his team are true professionals. The staff is also very friendly with excellent personalities. They make the treatment definitely more manageable and dare I say at times, it was fun.

To start out I just want to say that I am only 30 and have had 2 major back surgeries, 2 minor back procedures (for pain), about roughly 4-5 rounds of PT, so I am no stranger to back pain or doctor offices. I pretty much have constant pain in my back and at this point I am quite skeptical of any doctors claiming they can treat me. PT in the past has helped with my mobility, but nothing has really helped with the pain so I wanted to take a more aggressive approach to treatment this time around, which lead me to Align Joint and Spine. I found Dr Dan because he had a ton of positive reviews and success stories, so I immediately went in for a consult. He was the first doctor to actually run tests and listen to my experience (not just push medicine on me) at which point he determined my back pain was stemming from my neck, not from my rotator cuff / shoulder blade / everything else doctors have tried treating in the past to get rid of the pain. We immediately got to work and within a month or so, my pain had decreased significantly, I had less degeneration in my neck, and I was able to work out 5+ times a week, compared to my usual 2 times/week max. Everyone at the office is extremely friendly and accommodating, and one of my favorite parts is that they are really good with working around your schedule to ensure you go as often as Dr. Dan suggests to stay on course (for me it was 3 times/week). On that note, I will say that you should not attempt this treatment unless you are prepared to commit, both with your time and your money. It is a lot, but it is worth it if you stick with it. While I realize that this will probably not solve my back problems forever, because I am just blessed with a crooked back full or hardware, I am confident that if/when the pain comes back in the future, I will certainly be going back to this office to be treated.

After throwing my back out at my job, I Google searched a chiropractor, and by total chance Dr. Dan happened to have the soonest available appointment. When I showed up I was in bad shape. I couldnt bend at the waist, I couldnt sit comfortably, and I could barely walk any distance due to the level of pain I was in.The diagnosis wasnt pretty, but expected, since I had been dealing with lower back pain for about 18 years due to a bad car accident, and probably poor life decisions. I wish that one of the many chiropractors I had seen all these years would have told me about the benefits of combining chiropractic adjustmants and physical therapy!Being uninformed all this time, I was determined to work through the steps of the rehabilitation that Dr. Dan planned out with me. Tired of being in pain, I went religiously to his office 3-4 times a week.After a month I noticed I was walking better, bending, and sleeping better then Id slept in years.Dr. Dan and his staff are great! Along with my own will and determination, I can say that my lower back no longer hurts every day! It feels like a miracle, but I know that really it was with information, positive reinforcement, and the help that everyone has provided that I feel better then I have felt in years.People come and go, but really youre stuck with your body, and there is zero reason you should be in pain, if there is a way to fix what is wrong. Even though Ive been cleared of my original aliments, I will continue to work hard, and continue to work with Dr. Dan and his staff, on my journey to be pain free.New year, new you? Visit Dr. Dan! Hell help with you with the best version of you! The pain free version!

Align joint & spine has a great atmosphere,great staff and amazing Doctor. Hes always there to answers any doubts or questions you have. He always take his time on every individual to work with them. Thanks to him and his experience Ive had seen great results in such a short period of time. I use to have pain due to my scoliosis but ever since i started to see Dr.Dan the pain has banished! Ive had an overall great experience coming to align joint & spine. I highly recommend coming here. Hes seriously one of the best if not THE BEST in the chicago land area.

Dr. Dan and the entire staff are wonderful! I have been dealing with chronic pain for years with little relief ... until now. The approach at Align is all about remodeling the spine. It is fascinating to see the improvements in my posture and gait. I cant say enough about Dan and the team; they have helped me so much! Highly recommended!

I visited Align Joint and Spine on the recommendation of a friend, and Im so glad I did! I was having trouble squatting - there wasnt pain, but I noticed I was shifting to one side. After meeting with Dr. Dan and taking some X-Rays, it was confirmed that my hips were out of alignment. A plan was put together, and I started going three days a week to work on corrective exercises.Because of the nature of the exercises, and the time commitment, I wasnt able to go to the gym and lift as much as I liked (honestly, it was about once a week, where before it was three times a week). But even with that limited time, I was able to improve my Clean by 3kg and my Front Squat by 4kg, which is a huge improvement for me! (I usually only added about 1kg every six months or so).The program is definitely working, and Im so glad I took the time to step back from the gym and focus on correcting things. I cant wait to see where my lifting goes once I start back up at the gym!

I went into Align Join & Spine with runners knee pain in my right knee. I was typically having symptoms after 5 miles during a 10 mile run. After which I would experience residual pain that would daunt my day for at least three days after a run. Align Join & Spine was able to take x-rays in house and upon review identify there was a limb length discrepancy. Align Join & Spine provide me with a holistic plan to strengthening my core, stretch my legs, lower-body, and treat the area in pain. The plan developed provided me with a reactive and proactive approach to the issue at hand. Since going through the two month physical therapy plan the results have proven to be fantastic and the pain I was experiencing is no longer an issue. The staff has been very personable and accommodating. I greatly appreciate their expertise as it provided me with a pain free running experience.

Prior to phyxMe, I was going to a chiropractor I really liked. However, after several years I was still getting injured frequently while exercising. I felt I was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. During our initial consult, Dr D related that hed had the same experience as a chiropractor, which led him to further study of physical therapy and Chiropractic Biophysics (sounds made-up, but he gets excited about it).The various torture devices are like [clever simile], but theyve produced measurable results in x-rays I wasnt getting from chiropractic alone. Hes also started treating my carpal-tunnel with wrist adjustments (way better than surgery).Bonus: the front desk and support staff are competent, caring and fun.

Very professional and knowledgeable. I am currently in the middle of my “phyxing,” but results are already evident. Great people and a great atmosphere as well!

Great experience with everyone who works there. They really take things at a good pace and make sure that injuries are properly dealt with. They update you nicely along the way and make the proper adjustments in your road to recovery.

Dr. Dan is a wonderful doctor, He knows what he is doing. His office staff is always polite. I would definitely recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Dan for a few years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. I came in with terrible back pain that limited my active lifestyle, it turns out one of my legs was shorter than the other and this had created many issues in my spine. After a customized treatment plan I am left with little to no pain and am back to doing all the things I love. My spine is realigned and I never needed to use any pain medication! I highly recommend visiting if you are suffering from any pain.On top of the excellent care the staff is awesome, always creating a very positive and fun environment for healing. I always feel welcomed and am never treated like a just another patient.

I dealt with ongoing back pain for years, and it finally got bad enough that I decided to see a specialist. I have been going to phyxMe for a several sessions and my back is already feeling much better than it has in years. Great place!

Ive been a patient of Dr. Dans for nearly three years now. Formally known as HPI Chicago, Align Joint & Spine has really helped me. He has not only aided me in my repeat recoveries for three of my seven knee surgeries, but (and he may not like me saying this) genuinely cares for his patients. Yes, hes there to make money (its his job, after all), but hes also there to make you better than ever before. Dr. Dan attends many training classes and is always in the know with new treatments and techniques. Its true that you may feel like a bit of a guinea pig at times, but hes very gentle (and a bit of a goof ball) -which always puts me at ease. He also kind of does it all... He offers physical therapy and chiropractic work -both of which hes wonderful at. Honestly, I have been to many PT locations here in Chicago and elsewhere; however, none of them come close to the level of detail, dedication, knowledge, and compassion that Dr. Dan clearly has for his patients.I only have one complaint (and this may have changed since I last saw him, so it doesnt impact my rating). I hate how his hours make it impossible to go three times a week (which Im always required to do). When I was last there he was open Monday-Thursday, thats it. So, to get my sessions in, I had to go to days in a row (I did that twice since it was much too painful). I hope this has changed though, otherwise, Ill need to try to find someone else for my next upcoming lengthy recovery.You cannot go wrong with Dr. D.Thank you for everything, Boss.

Dr. Dan and his team are just amazing. They are very caring, welcoming and friendly. Extremely thankful for everyone here and I will highly recommend them to everyone.

I had a hip joint replacement in 2017 after every other treatment option had failed to address an old gym injury. The new hip joint felt great, but the invasive resurfacing surgery left me with a big chunk of scar tissue that inhibited my range of motion and stability. After two years of intensive physical therapy, dry-needling, ultrasound, deep tissue work, acupuncture, stretching, strengthening and still seeing no results, the folks at PhyxMe started a protocol of shock-wave therapy and laser treatment. After just one month of treatment I experienced a profound increase in muscle control and joint stability, AND I’ve even had a palpable reduction in the size and hardness of the scar tissue. I’m so pleased to get back my lost range of motion, feel the stabilizers in my leg properly engage during exercise and even feel more natural when doing mundane household tasks such as loading and unloading the dishwasher. The glute even LOOKS BETTER now that I’m able to properly recruit the muscles during exercise. Im so grateful that Dr. Dan and his team gave this 50 year old guy his hip back! I cant wait to see what they can do for my toe and shoulder which have also been set back by a life-time of wear, over-use and past surgeries.” - Mark McC Jan ‘20

I play basketball pretty regularly, and it’s important to me that I’m in good shape. After hurting my leg last year and tearing my ACL back in college, I needed regular physical therapy. Dan helped me get back to a place where I could play again and not worry about whether or not I’d be in pain. Can’t say enough good things!

Great blend of physical therapy and chirp. Love the focus on long term rehabilitation vs just a quick fix. Helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere and really flexible on appointments.

I initially visited Align Joint & Spine because I was having upper and lower back pain that was preventing me from sleeping through the night.Dr. Dan was extremely helpful in explaining the cause of this pain breaking down medical terminology into words I could understand. He provided me with a recommended treatment plan as well as modified options considering my insurance coverage and personal financial comfort level.Dr. Dan makes it a point to get to know his patients on a personal level and genuinely cares about improving their health. His staff is extremely friendly and accommodating as well. I often need to reschedule appointments the week of because my work schedule fluctuates. The atmosphere is relaxing and a nice break from my otherwise hectic work week.I no longer have any trouble sleeping and my back pain only seems to flare up when I am traveling for an extended period of time which is a huge improvement from the daily pain I was initially experiencing.I highly recommend Align Joint & Spine to anyone seeking chiropractic care.

I have been going to Align for almost three months, and it makes perfect sense that Dr. Dan and his team get so many positive reviews - The treatments are very effective, the staff is professional and friendly, and Dr. Dan is very clear about helping you understand what your condition is and the plan of action to get you better. I started going to Align after a car accident that gave me serious whiplash. My neck was in pain, very stiff, and not getting better on its own. After my first few sessions including exercises and adjustments, I experienced drastic improvements in the mobility of my neck and also much less pain. The improvements continued throughout my sessions and now I can honestly say that the mobility in my neck is back to normal and I feel much better. This is really an excellent place to address your physical therapy and chiropractice needs. Highly recommend!

Doctor Dan is a very knowledgable individual regarding physical therapy and chiropractic methods. His past experiences in sports allows him to understand your viewpoint. Doctor Dan will provide me updated status reports during the rehab process showing my progression. The process may only need months or in my case year(s), but Doctor Dan is accessible and supportive along the whole way. My injury (meniscus tear) was and is a time consuming process to rehab. I personally chose to rehab rather than surgery hoping my body would heal itself. During the rehab process, we also focused on knee exercises and other areas that needed strengthen to minimize, prevent further issues.

I have shin splints and plantar fasciitis, and broke both legs at different times as a teenager which has made running very difficult. I made a physical therapy appointment, went in and talked to Dr. Dan about my problems with my legs and feet and have started feeling better after only a couple of sessions. Physical therapy has allowed me to run and play soccer with friends again without pain. I’m so grateful for Dr. Dan for helping me and I should have done this years ago!

AJS is the place to go to find solutions for better wellness and pain relief. Dr. Dan has a unique and effective curiousity about the body and how it works (or doesnt). He looks for root causes beyond what other practitioners do and then creates a tailored regiment to put you on a path to better health and physical alignment (pun intended)! He is complimented by a competent and friendly staff of professionals.

Dr. Jacobazzi has helped me tremendously with my back pain and scoliosis. For years I had seen different spinal specialists who had given me different exercises to correct the curve in my spine, but nothing seemed to work.I also had a herniated disc that gave me back issues. After meeting with several doctors and physical therapists, they all told me that the only way to correct my curve and herniated disc was with surgery. They told me I would simply have to deal with the issue for the rest of my life.As a collegiate athlete, it was very difficult dealing with the pain and thinking there was no way out of it except with surgery.After meeting with Dr. Jacobazzi just once, I have seen an improvement in my scoliosis curve within 4 weeks, and I have almost zero pain. He has given me very specific exercises to do so that I can continue improving my spinal health and eventually getting 100% recovered. He is the first doctor that has made me feel like I can truly get back to the way I used to feel, and the changes that I feel already make me even more confident that I will be able to do so with his help.Seeing Dr. Jacobazzi was the best decision I have ever made for my physical health. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in pain of any kind.Julia Dean

Dr. Dan Jacobazzi provides high tech, professional, yet passionate and personal care to his patients. Having six family members receive treatment from his Align, Joint and Spine clinic located on Irving Park Road, I can testify to the thorough and in depth care you will receive from Dr. Dan and his staff. In addition to ensuring a perfectly clean and aesthetic environment at his clinic, Dr. Dan hires staff who share his professionalism and passion for physical therapy. He and his staff are highly attentive, patient, thoughtful, warm and approachable with each client, making the pain of traction more endurable. They are also very accommodating in their schedule and were flexible about staying late and letting us in early, a trait that made going there more appealing and relieving. They also created a very social environment that draws in the clients, making friends out of strangers.Our family lives in Bridgeport and the drive could easily be an hour each way, passing by countless physical therapy clinics near our home that are more convenient and have a decent reputation. We chose Dr. Dan’s clinic because we were looking for the most excellent physical therapist for our family’s care. Dr. Dan came highly recommended. He had treated one of my son’s for an old sports injury that was compounded by work related strains of using a computer and a cell phone constantly. Dr. Dan analyzed, treated and monitored his care through different stages and continues to treat him on a regular monthly basis. A more sensational and serious success story was how Dr. Dan correctly analyzed a sports injury that impeded another son’s Division 1 collegiate running career. Various highly reputable therapists nationwide had misdiagnosed his condition nearly leading to him to stop competing altogether. But Dr. Dan using his vast expertise and high tech analysis was able to find the root cause and treat him through various stages until my son could compete faster and stronger than ever before in a post collegiate running career and breaking a four minute mile. He continues to reach out to my son once a month to monitor his condition and provides input fit his care. For this, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Dan!My daughter is in a medical school program and had to take time off from studying due to a car accident. By following Dr. Dan’s treatment vigilantly, she recovered and could return to school. He also provided high quality vitamins and supplements to reduce the post concussion symptoms afflicting her. In another car accident, my teenage son and daughter suffered whiplash. While treating them, Dr. Dan also diagnosed my son’s turtle neck from playing too many video games throughout his childhood and corrected it as well. He also discovered my daughtet’s Scoliosis in her spine which no doctor had found before. She was at an age where it was still treatable without a brace. Dr. Dan corrected her spine and she grew a couple inches as well!Finally, in treating me for back and neck injuries after being t-boned in a car accident, Dr. Dan was very patient and understanding of my needs, especially at age 50. I could not endure much pain and was not as flexible as my children. Also, having to stay home from work for three months and recovering at a snail’s pace, was not only personally discouraging, but stressful, too, as I had to deal with insurance and disability issues. Dr. Dan worked seamlessly with my primary care doctor, neurologist, insurance company and workplace to provide necessary forms and evaluations. This made a very trying time in my life more manageable and less aggravating. Dr. Dan and his staff always made me feel that my recovery was very personal to them and they listened carefully to all my trials with aches and pains until I gradually recovered and became more and more pain free. I still need care, but I am on the mend, can work, sleep and socialize again. I feel like I have my life back.Thus, I recommend Dr. Dan as an invaluable therapist for anyone seeking thorough treatment and highest quality care.

Dr. Dan and his staff are friendly, personable and are very good at what they do. Two years ago I came in with a bad back and neck. The back pain alone would take me down to the floor about once a month. Through a combination of exercise, traction, chiro, etc., the severe back pain is a thing of the past. Were still working on the neck pain, but its getting better. What I really like is the comprehensive approach he takes to making you better. Hes not just a chiropractor or a physical therapist, whatever methods he can employ to make you better, thats what he does. Keep up the good work everyone!

I found Dr. Dan and his staff to be caring and responsive to my individual situation. To any and all who are in pain, this team helped me! I had radiating pain from my neck all the way down my fingers/thumb. My thumb was completely numb. It is now back to normal and feeling just like all of the other fingers after I had been suffering for at least 4 months with the problem. phyxMe physical therapy is my go to and should be yours too.

I started to see Dr. Jacobazzi after a sports injury and knowing that I have always had back issues. I had gone to other physical therapist/chiropractors before, but Dan was the first person to really pay attention to how my body was feeling and did xrays to see where my body is in comparison to where it should be at my age. Based on the xrays, we made a plan to get my body back to healthy. And for the first time in probably 10 years I feel extremely healthy and conscious about my physical health. Not only did we make huge progress in my 3 months there, but I left having the resources, tools, and exercises in my back pocket from Dan to live a fulfilling life. He truly cares about his patients and gave me the right motivation I needed to be healthier.The staff here is also fantastic - everyone is always there to help, are welcoming, and the scheduling is extremely flexible. I would 100% recommend Dr. Dan and this office for any physical therapy and chiropractic needs - you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Jacobozzi and his staff are top notch. Ive been coming to them for about two years now on a regular basis, not only has my condition improved pretty significantly, but I actually enjoy my time there. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and are so quick to help with any questions or modify an exercise based on your needs, or to change your appointment, which was huge for me. I have a weird schedule and needed a PT that didnt punish me for that; if I cancel the staff is quick to find an alternative time that is always in the same week.Dr. Dan maintains a fun and light work space that can sometimes make you forget youre there because you have a body thats causing you physical pain. I also like knowing whats going on, and Dr. Dan takes the time to explain what is going on, but also follows through to make sure I actually understand it. It is not always pleasant getting your body put back into the right place, but your experience while youre fixing it, can be. I would recommend Dr. Dan and his staff to any and everyone in the market for a physical therapist.

Dr. Daniel Jacobazzi is a rare kind! His focus on each individual goes well beyond his incredible knowledge, but also an approachable character that will gladly help you understand anything you need to know. He leads by example and stacked his team with other powerful players in the game. Ive only been a patient of Dr. Jacobazzi for a few months but during that time, I have seen a tremendous transformation in pain relief, posture improvement, and an overall increase in energy!

The service is wonderful and they had me feeling better in no time!

I started coming to see Dr. Dan Jacobazzi three months ago. I delayed seeing a doctor in the first place because my symptoms were manageable, even if they were uncomfortable and sometimes painful. It wasn’t until I threw out my back for the third time doing deadlifts that I finally decided to do something about it.During my initial consultation, I told Dr. Jacobazzi the reason I was coming in and explained my concerns. Dr. Dan spoke openly and honestly about the service he provides and what he recommended. Dr. Dan took my measurements and assessed my alignment. He also took several x-rays.Once the x-Rays were ready to view, I was honestly shocked to see them because they showed how bad my posture had really become. I didn’t realize it until I saw the x-ray. Dr. Dan reviewed the x-rays with me and gave me his assessment. I tend to carry my shoulders forward, hunch my back, and tilt my head forward. Also, I found out have anterior pelvic tilt. After my consultation with Dr. Dan, it all made complete sense why I had been having lower back pain and why I continually threw out my back while lifting weights. And it wasn’t something that was going to fix itself.The Dr. created a treatment plan specific to my needs and my goals. After the first two weeks of treatment, my lower back pain was gone! And I haven’t felt it since!!Not only that, but I’ve also noticed that my posture has improved. I feel an inch or two taller! I have no problem standing for long periods of time and I already feel my shoulders and neck resting in a more normal position.I’ve continued to come for the past three months now. The place runs like a well oiled machine and the assistants and employees are all lovely, kind, and helpful. Dr. Dan knows all his patients by name (and usually calls everyone by their first and last name every time he sees you). The Dr. is seriously always jovial and positive. Coming to PT is a highlight of my week. Every single visit he interacts with you and checks up on your progress and how you’re doing. Apart from the plan he creates for each patient, he gives advice and feedback on things his patients can do outside of the office to progress.Thanks so much, Dr. Dan. I am so glad I came in and am so grateful you’ve helped reduce my pain and help correct my poor posture!- Parker F.

PhyxMe is the only reason I walk, work and live today with NO PAIN. It was my first experience with serious sciatic pain. I was using a lot of medication and thought the 24/7 pain would never leave. I tried 2 well know large PT practices with no change. phyxMe with Dr Dans experience and expertise and the combination therapies worked. Period. Listen to what he says, do the homework/workouts, and follow it through you will see a change.

I had neck and shoulder pain for several years. I saw several doctor with no results. I was skeptic about visiting a chiropractor because you always hear you will have to go for life. I committed to a 12 month plan with Dr. Jacobazzi which is time consuming but worth it. It has been 9 months since my last visit. I have zero pain in my neck and shoulder which improves my posture and sleep. My shoulder range of motion is back to where it was several years ago. Any future injuries I will go back to Dr. Jacobazzi before I see an orthopedist dr again.

Dr. Jacobazzi and his therapist have been a great help. No only did they help with my pain relief, but educate me how to help myself. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobazzi and his staff for any physical pain or challenges.

Im writing this review after 3 months of treatment with Dr Dan and team for a severe pinched nerve (cervical radiculopathy). When I first injured myself I went to an NW Immediate Care center and was diagnosed with a pinched nerve and prescribed high dose ibuprofen. It relieved the pain but two weeks later the problem became even worse. A second trip to the same place resulted in more ibuprofen and a neck brace! They also referred me to an orthopedic doctor, but the earliest appointment was in two weeks time. However, the pain was unbearable and I needed treatment sooner. Im so thankful that my wife suggested calling in at AJS. Dr Dan saw me straight away and provided treatment that immediately gave me some relief. Within 48 hours Id had x-rays, been provided with a diagnosis of the underlying problem, and given a suggested course of treatment. Dr Dan gave me a clear and honest analysis of my neck problem, which is serious (several bulging or herniated discs). But importantly he also gave me the peace of mind of knowing I was in good hands; I felt that way then and I still feel the same way. The treatment has been professional and carried out in a caring and positive environment. Ive gone from intense pain where I could barely sleep or even sit comfortably, to being back functioning normally and 100% pain-free. After three months there has been big improvements in my posture and alignment. Im continuing treatment because the severity of my problem means it will take time to get to a level where I can live without the worry of re-injury.*As a side-note, during my 3 months of treatment I was urged by my family to see an orthopedic doctor, which I did. I had an MRI which confirmed the severity of my problem; Dr Dan had already told me this. But what was significant was how the review of the diagnosis with the doctor made me feel. I left feeling incredibly negative and facing a future of pain and worry about the problem getting progressively worse. Somewhat shamefully the doctor also told me that my treatment at AJS wouldnt help. Because of this I considered stopping my treatment - but after talking to Dr Dan, I was soon back feeling positive and committed to my treatment. I cant thank him enough for this. It is so important when you have injury or illness to feel positive and that you are on the road to recovery. Thats why I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Dan and his fantastic team at Align Joint & Spine. You wont be disappointed!

Quite simply, Dr. Dan and his practice are game changers. After months of neck pain and headaches, he was able to identify and treat muscular and postural issues that had come from years at a computer desk. I had seen every doctor in the book, and been to multiple PT and chiro offices, none of which helped. I wish I had found his office years ago. You can see the issues and results with imaging, and he will help you lock in the fix so you dont need perpetual maintenance. I like the multifaceted approach of PT and Chiro, and they will tailor the treatment to your specific needs. It hurts a lot at first, and you may feel that you are getting worse initially - stick with it! We had to break everything down to ground zero so we could build it back up.

Got health and confidence back!I hurt my lower back deadlifting, ending in severe pain and uneasiness while driving. I reached out to Doctor Dan and after some tests and X-rays found out I had scoliosis and very poor posture which caused this. I have seen tremendous changes and now able to hit gym regularly and back to deadlifting again. My friends and family have also noticed major change in my posture.Doctor Dan and entire staff are super friendly, caring and pay attention to every individual and small details.I never expected to be deadlifting or even being so active so early, Thank you Dr Dan and everyone who made this possible.

Dr Jacobazzi and his staff took great care of me over an 8 week period. My neck, back and knee made significant improvements during my time at Align Joint and Spine and had i been able to afford further treatment, i feel i would have made a complete recovery. The doctor provided a sense of awareness about what was going on in my body, taking continuous x-rays to check my progress and giving me honest feedback and suggestions.On my final visit, i had brought my fiancé with me and she was having pretty intense back problems that day. At no extra charge, Dr Jacobazzi took an x-ray of her back, explained what the problem was and gave her a lift for her shoe. He did not have to go out of his way to do any of that, and that particular gesture showed me that he truly cares about the well-being of his patients and their loved ones. Highly recommend.

I wish I could give them 10 stars but 5 is a good start... i cant thank the staff at phyxMe Physical Therapy for helping me get back to a new normal and BETTER than before ... I dont think anyone wants to be in pain and deal with going pain which requires physical therapy and I was no different. I experienced a freak accident at the gym and ended up completely messing up my low back and was referred to phyxMe by Northwestern Medicine. The location is literally right next to the brown line at Irving Park Road ... the entire staff challenged me on a daily basis because I told them I HAD to get back to the gym and even though it was challenging, it was not unbearable or painful... Doctor Dan actually took the time to understand my goals and worked with me to develop a plan that would help me return to the gym AND be BETTER than before ... I assumed after my injury that my lower back would never be the same ... Ive never been so happy to be wrong in my life! ... to anyone thats been through a rough injury, this healthcare team gives you the support you need on your road to recovery and I was thankful to have met Dr Dan and his team and they worked with me throughout my entire recovery and beyond. I have even set new PRs in the gym and it wouldnt have been possible without Dr. Dan and his Team! Thanks for everything guys!!!

Prior to going to AJS, I was going to a chiropractor I really liked. However, after several years I was still getting injured frequently while exercising. I felt I was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. During our initial consult, Dr D related that hed had the same experience as a chiropractor, which led him to further study of physical therapy and Chiropractic Biophysics (sounds made-up, but he gets excited about it).While the various torture devices he subjects me to arent much fun, seeing the pure childish delight on his face at my suffering is kinda funny. Actually hes the one that taught me the word schadenfreude. But the machines have also produced measurable results in x-rays I wasnt getting from chiropractic alone, correcting the curvature in my neck and lower back.The front desk and support staff are also competent, caring and fun.

When I was a teenager I had surgery for my scoliosis, which left me with a nasty scar and some residual pain. The pain has recurred off and on for more than 20 years and after talking to a ton of different doctors and PT specialists I finally found a place I can trust and helps with the pain. Dr. Dan helped explain why I was having pain and came up with a plan to treat it. I haven’t felt any pain since I started treatment and it has seriously changed my life.

I cannot speak for the physical therapy, but only for the gym membership. I must have been a pain the ass to them. You were suppose to be able to go in there anytime with a key. My key did not work for 10 days, tried going there several times and couldnt get in. I emailed them with no response for quite some time, actually never got a response. My monthly membership ended on the day I signed up, not the day I actually got to start using my key again. So it was a shortened month. I did add some confusion by trying to just pay month to month, so this may not be totally fair. Though I feel I was mostly treated useless as a member. I recommend another gym with better facilities and commitment from their staff.

I have hurt myself a lot over the years (car accidents, bike accidents, roller skating accidents) and each time Dr. Jacobazzi was able to get me back in fighting form and then some. He approaches treatment with your future full-body well-being in mind. Hes not just concerned with fixing you for the right now, but how treatment and maintenance will benefit you 10-20 years down the line. I would and have recommended Dr. Jacobazzi for any and all physical therapy needs.

I had never been to a chiropractor (didnt really believe in them) or physical therapy (never needed it) until last summer. In the spring of 2018 I started to suffer from severe lower back pain and sciatica. After months in constant pain, three visits to my primary care physician and DAILY pain meds (Ibuprofen, Aleve, muscle relaxers, etc.) I was getting pretty desperate and wondered if this was my new normal at age 52. In August I finally started to Google the subject to find a different solution. After reviewing several websites, I came across Align Joint & Spine. All the 5 star reviews caught my attention, but it was Dr. Dans bio (its very extensive but a worthwhile read!) that convinced me to request an initial exam. I figured, who could understand people suffering from excruciating pain better than someone who had been there and who made it into a career to help people alleviate pain for that very reason. It was one of the best decision Ive ever made. From the moment I walked into Align Joint & Spine I felt comfortable and taken care of. After an extensive examination and several X-Rays, Dr. Dan laid out a plan for me to work on all my issues (degenerative disc, scoliosis, the works) and I finally felt like we are addressing the cause of my problems and not just putting a bandaid on a bleeding wound. It was no walk in the park, I committed to treatment (which is exhausting, to say the least) 3 times a week for 12 weeks and then once a week after that. But when you live in constant pain you make it work, and if your pain level gets lower and lower over the weeks, and then, less than three months into the treatment you can finally put down a 0 on pain level - NO lower back pain, NO sciatica, you definitely keep working on it. Its work in progress, but to be pain free for weeks at a time seemed absolutely impossible less than a year ago. If you are reading this, in pain, in the middle of the night like I did, make an appointment! Dr Dan and his entire staff are fantastic and extremely helpful and accommodating. The atmosphere is super friendly and light, there are lots of jokes and laughter, a factor that contributes to your general well being. I couldnt imagine having gone through this rigorous program in a place where patients and staff were not talking and laughing with each other like at AJS. Besides thanking Dr. Dan for getting my life back I also want to thank Lisa who always has a smile ready while accommodating your schedule, and Christian who always has an eye on what you are doing and makes sure you are doing it right.

Dr. Dan and the staff at AJS helped me resolve pain that I had dealt with for 14 months. I was a NCAA Division 1 cross country/track athlete, and I was training and competing at a high level. During the spring of 2016, I injured my left hamstring in competition. The athletic trainers at my university did an evaluation, and they said that it would resolve itself with rest. After several weeks of not running, I showed little/no improvement (still painful to run/walk on), and they referred me to a physical therapist to do strengthening and rehabilitation exercises. I did the exercises religiously, and, after several weeks without improvement, I was advised to treat my injury as an irritated nerve (i.e the varying levels of pain were independent of any actual injury to my muscles). I resumed training, albeit at ~75% of the total volume that I normally ran; additionally, I could no longer do certain workouts (sprints, hills, fartleks). It was a difficult year, but I didn’t want this injury to take that season away.I then came to AJS in July of 2017 after my track season had ended. At that point, I was resolved not to run through my discomfort anymore. Dr. Dan and I talked about the origins of my injury, it’s progression through the past year, and what had helped/aggravated it. He did a chiropractic evaluation on me (testing my range of motion, strength of isolated muscles) as well as took x-rays of my spine. The evaluation showed what had been evident to every other person I’d seen for treatment: my glutes were weak/underactive (despite doing exercises regularly to strengthen them); however, his interpretation of the x-ray revealed why they remained weak: a misalignment in the lumbar region was applying pressure on the neural pathway that controlled glute activation, enough pressure that made signaling difficult. By doing regular adjustments, we could relieve this pressure and begin to strengthen the pathway and muscles, and this would take strain off of my hamstring and allow it to heal. I saw him regularly for about six weeks that summer, until the school year resumed, and I had to move away. I noticed significant improvement in those 6 weeks, and I was able to resume running again; more importantly, I know understand the underlying causes of my injury, and I was able to share Dr. Dan’s insights with the local physical therapist and chiropractor that I began to work with in order to continue making improvements.In the past year, I’ve been able to resume training and competing at my previous levels, and I was able to run personal bests in several events. I’ve also had regular contact with Dr. Dan, whether a monthly phone call or when I’m able visit the office. I’m grateful for the help he’s provided me, and for the new life he gave to my running career; additionally, I’m grateful for his willingness to explain the treatment process to me, so I could better understand my role in my rehabilitation.

Met here with other cyclists to practice on the computrainers, very good workout and encouraging staff. thanks!

Hpi Health Performance Institute has everything you need for health and well-being. Chiropractic care, physical theraphy, massage, and all access gym with personal trainers. Thank you Dr. Dan and Dr. Shawn for caring for me.

Before coming in for my first visit, my arms and shoulders were in intense pain and I had trouble lifting them above my head. After several visits and keeping up with the exercises, Dr. Dan and his team made it so that I can move my arms and shoulders again without pain.

Dr. Jacobazzi is extremely knowledgeable and provides a very wholistic approach to spine and joint care. His staff is friendly and helpful and extremely attentive. The facility is very clean and well organized and provides a conducive atmosphere for the multiple therapies Dr. Jacobazzi provides. In addition to PT, spinal adjustments and traction, I have also taken advantage of the cryogenic chamber Dr. Jacobazzi has. The cryo-therapy has greatly helped the progress of my spinal therapy. Align Joint and Spine offers a tremendously positive place to improve my health. I am very grateful to Dr. Jacobazzi and his staff for changing my life for the better.

Tl;dr: These people get results for their patients and theyre helpful, nice and fun while doing it. The blend of PT and chiropractic care seems unique and really gets the job done. The results you get are based on your commitment, which has to be big.Ive been seeing the team at AJS for a year. I experienced chronic upper back and neck pain that wasnt severe, but was getting worse and really impacted my life satisfaction. After going to a few doctors and being told to sit up straighter and take narcotics for the pain, I decided to investigate PT. The AJS consultation convinced me that they could provide the relief I needed and make sure I wasnt completely doomed to be hunch-backed when Im older. And I had photographic proof or how messed up my neck really was...From that initial consult, Dr. Dan designed a set of exercises for me based on my specific issues symptoms. They track and modify the plan as I go along. They wont push you any harder than your body can handle, but the exercises will challenge you and feel good at the same time. Everyone there is doing something slightly different, so dont pay too much attention to someone elses plan or progress. They also give you exercises at home to increase your progress; DO THEM.The treatments are expensive and my insurance didnt cover it. I dont know if theyre expensive as compared to other PT/chiropractic work, but compared to doing nothing (which wasnt really creating a whole lot of results for me), yeah its expensive. I knew that paying the money would help keep me accountable, and that I spend far more on useless things. It was worth the investment to get my body feeling better every day. They offer payment plans! I get the impression that they really dont want the finances to be the reason you dont seek treatment, but the cost will be prohibitive for some people. I dont blame this on them, I could go on a rant about how supremely fed up our attitude/priorities around medicine and wellness are, but who wants to read that? I consider myself lucky to have been able to afford this, because its made such a difference in my daily life.Something to note: the time commitment is big deal. If you dont go, if you dont commit to the home exercises, you cant blame them.I started going three days per week for three months--this was really hard to commit to. Theyre great about scheduling and flexibility, but its still quite a huge commitment you have to make for yourself. For me, it was 100% worth it. After three months of weekly chiro and PT exercises, I got to see my progress and got a much more relaxed schedule of appointments to keep things going. I have fallen off with my appointments and home exercises recently and really noticed a change in how I feel.Also, the appointment duration is based on how many other patients are present--which you wont have any knowledge of or control over when scheduling. Sometimes appointments would be 30 minutes, sometimes 1 hour, rarely longer. I am very fortunate that I had flexibility with my employer to make this commitment work.
