Dr. Patrick Eley

Dr. Eley is an excellent provider and I absolutely recommend him to anyone. I woke up one day with lower back pain, which manifested out of the blue. As each day passed, the pain increased while my mobility decreased. After a week or so, the pain was intense and constant — it hurt to sit or lie down, and I was limping. This greatly hindered my ability to work since I’m a litigator and I had to navigate several courtrooms everyday. Dr. Eley treated my husband successfully, so I made an appointment with him. Dr. Eley assessed me and diagnosed the problem. He treated me, which itself took less than two minutes, and informed me that I probably wouldn’t see any improvement until the next day. He was right. When I woke up the next morning, I sat up in bed and was amazed. The pain hadn’t just decreased — the pain was GONE. I was totally and completely healed. It felt like a miracle. Before seeing him, I had no idea what was wrong, and I anxiously wondered if I had accidentally done permanent damage to my body. Getting through the day was excruciating. Dr. Eley was very focused when he treated me, and he zoned in on the problem immediately. He fixed me. I completely trust Dr. Eley and would not hesitate to see him again.

Dr. Patrick Eley is an amazing chiropractor! I went to 2 other chiropractors in the city and a thousand dollars later I still had terrible back pain from a soccer injury. Dr Patrick Eley has a very holistic approach to healthcare and I felt very comfortable with the adjustments. I think what sets his work apart from the rest is he develops a program with you to help keep the pain away and strengthen your body to promote healing.
Patrick Eley is very knowledgeable about sports injuries and understands the importance of getting back in the game. I can’t say enough good things about him. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Eley is a stand up person. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida with Dr. Eley in 2009. While attending chiropractic college with him, he worked tirelessly to fully understand human anatomy and physiology. He was dedicated to his studies as well as to his own health routines. It has been some time since I have seen him, however I have received chiropractic care from him in the past and was helped by his adjustments. Additionally, as a colleague, I have consulted with him on several patient cases in which his knowledge and insight have been very valuable. All in all, he is humble and kind man and a caring and compassionate physician.

I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Eley for over a year now. His passion for health and wellness is vibrant and inspiring. Dr. Eley has personally seen to my chronic back pain and has been a vital piece of my recovery following a major motor vehicle accident. He and the FANTASTIC team at Elite Healthcare have been nothing short of phenomenal and are a major contributing factor to my everyday wellness. Dr. Eley is one of the hardest working and compassionate professionals I have ever met. He listens and works to understand his clients as individuals and tailors his treatment plans to fit each person. I have recommended him to anyone seeking Chiropractic and/​or nutrition services. Overall, i am incredibly thankful for Dr. Eley for all of the support and care he has given me in the past and how much dedication and continued support and care i am confident he will provide me in the future.

I highly recommend Dr Eley. I have been seeing him for the past year, and I’m very satisfied with the results. I never imagined my life could be pain free. After years of accepting limited mobility in my neck, I’m gaining the flexibility and motion I had when I was a young whipper-​snapper. Dr Eley is not only brilliant at diagnose where I can benefit from an adjustment, he also is a good teacher who has taught me how I can do simple stretches and exercises to maintain the gains made during my appointments. Top notch guy, good person, and passionate about making his patients lives better. Highly recommended.

Not only can I say without equivocation that Dr. Eley is the best of the 20+ chiropractic and nutrition doctor’s I’ve ever visited. I can also say that the review below that states that he is not a doctor is completely false. It took me less than 3 minutes to go to
and verify the dates of his licensure.
My only hesitation in not recommending everyone see Dr. Eley is that I am selfish and don’t want any trouble securing an appointment.
Seriously…go see him, if you have any back, shoulder, or other physical concerns. He is the best both personally and professionally.

Unfortunately this is not a fake review. I have many bills and receipts that show my appointments. Dr E. can’t own up to his faults. Ask him for his certificate, he won’t be able to show you it because he never finished Chiro school, from what he told me. Also I am very upset that he is having his friends email me through Unilocal,begging me to take down my review.

Dr. Eley has been amazing at getting my body back on track! I went to see him originally, because I could no longer sleep on my shoulder without being in pain. In the mean time I also tore my MCL and dislocated my patella in one knee in my MMA class. He helped my shoulder first, while my knee healed some, by rebuilding the muscles in my shoulder. I can now sleep without any pain! I’m thrilled with the strength and range of motion he has helped me regain with my knee! I thought it would take me much longer than what it did. My latest visit with Dr. Eley was him teaching me what exercises I can do on my own to continue to strengthen my body. He has also, helped me with nutritional advice. He helped me look at food in a new way. I have been able to make a few simple changes so far that have made a huge difference in my daily life. It has been nice working with someone who cares more about you than the money they can make by keeping you around longer. You can tell that he is one of the lucky ones that made it to the profession they love. Thank you for everything!

I have always struggled with my weight and nutrition. I had tried just about every diet on the market at one point or another with no results. I started working with Dr. Eley the start of 2014 and I have already seen a 4% drop in body fat. The difference with Dr. Eley is that he is not pitching a new «diet» or super restrictive eating plan. After a review of eating habits we started making small changes after each weekly meeting. Before I knew it I had changed out many of my unhealthy foods for much better choices. Dr. Eley broke down each benefit why we eliminated or added a food into easy to understand reasons. We even spent time talking about vitamins and supplements on the market today (both good and bad)
At every step of my process Dr. Eley has been there to show me what I did right and what I could improve. Always encouraging, he gave me that extra drive to push harder.
No matter the athletic ability I would recommend Dr. Eley 100%. I have never worked with a doctor that made me so comfortable and relaxed.

After I hurt my back I remember thinking, will I ever be able to move freely again? I am 22 and that wasn’t an option. My recovery process didn’t really take place until I met Dr. Eley. He put me on a diet plan that works wonderfully for inflammation (plus I’ve lost 15 pounds of body fat). He is CHALLENGING me in the gym and I feel stronger every day. Last week I was doing deep squats with a 40lb ball and jumping up on to 4 step boxes. Dr. Eley is a phenomenal Chiropractor, Physical Therapist and Nutritionist. He is the best and I highly recommend him!!!

I recently had back surgery and have been seeing Dr. Eley throughout my recovery. Anyone who’s dealt with back pain understands it’s not easy. Dr. Eley has a sense of what my body needs as well as my mind, and creates that balance in my treatment. His wealth of knowledge about the body and nutrition is astounding. He combines this in a comprehensive approach using exercise, adjustments, nutrition, and positive mental attitude, tailor made for my needs. Every week I am amazed at what I’ve accomplished, and look forward to overcoming the next challenge with the confidence I have gained. I can’t recommend him highly enough as his service & expertise are invaluable.

Dr. Eley had me laughing from the moment I walked into the office. I don’t want a trip to the Chiropractor to be overly serious or a string of lectures about what I’m doing wrong. I wanted a Chiro who would be a mentor and (expert) adviser. Definitely found that with Dr. Eley. He’ll adjust your back — and then leave you in stitches!

Dr. Eley was the first chiropractor I ever went to. I didn’t know what to expect, but let me tell you I have learned so much from Dr. Eley. I initially came in because I had been having chronic back pains. Through a couple visits that pain lessened. However, chiropractic work wasn’t the only reason I kept returning to Dr. Eley, he helped me immensely with nutrition and personal training. I enjoy eating healthy, but through Dr. Eley I learned a whole new level of eating healthy. I learned what it really means. Prior to our personal training sessions I always felt like I wasn’t athletic or strong, and lets face it, I wasn’t! After a couple months of training with Dr. Eley I grew confidence and strength. He pushed me but encouraged beyond what I thought I was capable. He is a great chiropractor because he doesn’t just treat the back, rather the whole person!

Well my friends always laugh at me because I say Dr Eley changed my life. It is so true, I can’t say enough good things about him. When my daughter was 4 we were told she had ADHD and a severe sensory issue. she couldn’t stand any socks or anything with a waistband. Then I got a referral to go see Dr Eley, and I saw immediate changes with her for the better. I really used to think to myself I am never going to be able to help her, she just had no control of this sensory thing. I could go on and on about it but I won’t. I also started to get adjustments. I suffer from headaches 3 – 4 times a week. When I started getting adjusted I would be headache free for 2 – 3 weeks. We both saw him regularly until he moved to Chicago. We have not been able to find anyone even close to as good, knowledgable or understanding as him. My daughter is 7 now and says at least once a week I love and miss Dr Eley. So if you are in the Chicago area or anywhere close you need to go see him. I would give 100 stars to rate him if I could.

I have been seeing Dr. Eley since 2008. I was in college then and having a strange issue with my arm– my entire right bicep area was going numb for days at a time and would have random burning. I went to a few doctors. Each of them told me that I would need surgery in the location to fix it. I couldn’t believe it.
A friend recommended that I, at least, get checked out at the chiropractic clinic. I went in to just see what they thought. I got paired up with Dr. Eley. He asked me just a few questions and was able to predict which movements caused pain and burning. I had only planned on getting an opinion, but his knowledge of my situation gave me the confidence to let me get my first chiropractic adjustment. He explained everything that he was doing and how each adjustment he did that day would help me. Before I left his office, I began regaining feeling in my bicep. It was like standing up after your foot fell asleep from sitting in a hard chair. By the next morning, my arm was completely back to normal. I was amazed. He may have had me come in another time that month; then told me to come back if it started back up. I didn’t have to go back for months.
I’m very active in jiu jitsu and a few months later I was feeling tight. I went once; he adjusted me and, again, told me to come back if I hurt at all. I would go to Dr. Eley only a few times per year for adjustments because that’s all I needed. There was never pressure to come in often or set up long treatment plans.
I was with Dr. Eley from 2008 – 2012, when I moved out of FL, I searched for a chiropractor and couldn’t find anyone that was as thorough as Dr. Eley. I even stopped by Chicago, on a long layover, during my Christmas travels for an adjustment because I knew his adjustment would last.
I agree, Chicago, you’re lucky to have him. 100% recommend.

I’ve had back and neck pain since I was 15… I’ve had doctors treat me incredibly well— on a short-​term basis. What I mean by that is they treated the problem I was experiencing with continuous treatment. Yes I felt better, but was always in the office! That got costly! Not until I came out to Chicago and discovered Dr. Eley did I know that anything else was possible. Dr. Eley created a plan for me that did not stop at adjustments but included incredible changes in my diet and take home exercises –which improved my strength and flexibility! Where as normal chiropractors want to keep you being a repeat customer — His plan helped my neck and back improve in a matter of weeks! Glad you’re finally on Unilocal so people can see how well you help !!
I recommend Dr. Eley to anyone who is looking for overall care!

When I suffered a leg injury from running, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Eley based on the recommendation from a lot of my friends (atheltes and non-​athletes alike). It was my first time visiting with a chiropractor ever, and it couldn’t have gone better. Dr. Eley is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and wellness in general, and he is genuinely passionate about his work. He really took the time to explain everything clearly to me, and his adjusments made my leg feel better immediately. I never really appreciated how interconnected the human body is, and how important it is to incorporate wellness into overall health maintenance. I have to give credit to Dr. Eley for that. He’s a chiropractor first and forememost (and a great one at that), but his expertise and skill set extend far beyond that.

Let me start off by saying I’m not a believer in the current state of chiropractic, which in my opinion is a minefield of misinformation, veiled intentions, and longterm repeat visits. Dr. Eley is the only chiropractor I’ve been able to trust wholeheartedly. He is as much a coach and confidant as he is able to adjust, and he’s got considerable adjustment skills. I’m about as skeptic as people can get, there is a neurologist in my family with an massive contempt for even the average chiropractor. Trust me when I say Dr. Eley will treat you with the utmost respect and care. I saw him for some lingering hip and lower back issues. Where other chiropractors prescribed a long series of visits, Dr. Eley reassessed each visit, until he told me only to come back if I was hurting. I haven’t hurt yet, which is good because he’s not in Florida (which sucks). You’re lucky you’ve got this guy, Chicago.
