Mt Lookout Chiropractic & Sports Injury Center

I have never been to a chiropractor every in my life and I’d never really planned to until I injured my back and even the ER had nothing for me.
I put out a request for recommendations in on Facebook and my cousin recommended Mt. Lookout Chiro. I did a little research and called in for an appointment which they were able to give the same day! The staff was very friendly.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the doc that I was seen by but he made sure that I was comfortable and understanding what he would be doing. He checked the X-​rays I’d had done in the ER and explained exactly what was going on with my back. He even gave me a pair of shorts to change into so that he could stretch me out better than in my jeans. He adjusted my back and sent me in for some kind of ultrasound therapy on my back which had me walking upright the same day! It was some kind of miracle.
He advised that I come back 3 more times that week but after visits and adjustments coupled with recommended exercises I was doing just fine. I will say this place is pretty legit. They have Saturday hours and are easy to schedule with. God forbid I have another crazy injury like that but if I do, I will be returning to Mt. Lookout.

I had to find a new chiropractor after mine turned out to be fairly prejudiced, which made appointments pretty awkward. (Personal opinions on things like that have no place in doctors appointments). Anyway, I took a chance and made an appointment with Dr. Placeway. I had been having migraines that would start as a pain under my right shoulder blade and eventually shoot up my neck and into the back of my head, eventually causing a horrible headache that would last for a while. I’m unable to take NSAIDS, so the pain got old fast. My old chiropractor would just adjust me every so often and send me on my way without telling me why I was having these issues. Dr. Placeway and the massage team pinpointed exactly why I was having these issues. After a few visits, I was fixed up and I had advice on how to prevent this in the future.
This past week, I started having insane amounts of jaw pain. I thought I was having some sort of dental issue, but an emergency trip to the dentist didn’t help anything. He couldn’t see anything on the X-​rays and suggested I see a root canal specialist (uh what??). I woke up in excruciating pain early Wednesday morning and called the Mount Lookout Chiropractors office. I was unsure of what kind of doctor I even see for jaw pain. Luckily, they’re there fairy early. The receptionist was super nice and informed me that they do a lot of work with TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), which I was pretty sure I had, and was able to get me in later that day.
Dr. Placeway told me TMJ is one of his specialties. He checked my jaw, it’s movement, the clicking, and listened to the issues I was having with it. He gave me exercises to do (I look dumb, but they’re working!) and had me make a couple more appointments for the following weeks to fix me up.
I’m honestly relieved. You’d think a dentist would have noticed this earlier and saved me the insane amount of pain, but I’m sooo lucky that I have an awesome chiropractor.
The receptionists are super nice and I’m always taken on time with minimal waiting.
The massage therapists are really great, too. They’re always really helpful.

Dont go

I went today to see Dr. Eric W. Eiselt, D.C. I’ve never in my life seen a chiropractor but I’ve had some persistent lower back pain for the last week and had to do something about it. I’m glad I did. After just a few adjustments I felt sooooooooo much better. Go see Dr. E, he’s great, super nice and wonderful. He even lets you borrow shorts if you come in from work in a dress :). This place has great hours, good staff and free parking. Couldn’t be better. I called the morning of and they got me in within an hour. Can’t say enough good things.

My father in law is an MD. He asked me about the treatment and conversations I was having with these chiropractors and was impressed with the answers I was giving. I think that’s quite a compliment.
I had never been to a chiropractor other than the one I grew up with in Chicago, but have been very pleased with Dr. Eiselt. The couple of times he wasn’t available, other chiropractors filled in seamlessly.
They do seem to start running behind schedule later in the day, so I always try to schedule early.

I am a long distance runner & always have a ache here & there! Dr. Steve is great with adjustments & gets me back out on the road!

I went to five different chiropractors in four years before discovering Mt. Lookout Chiropractic. I’ve been a patient there for two decades. I expected and received the kind of treatment and results I expect for my lower back. What I’ve experienced for my hands after over-​practicing on saxophone has bordered on the miraculous.

With my back in such bad shape last fall, I started seeing a new chiropractor (my third, who turned out to be, indeed, a charm!) Dr. Jason Placeway of Mt. Lookout Chiropractic got me to a point where I could at least function, with a tolerable amount of pain.
Then he sent me down the hall to physical therapy with Dave. He looks like a drill sergeant, but he’s actually quite mild and patient. No-​nonsense, though. Over the course of about eight weeks, I spent a few hours there each week, strengthening my badly neglected, flabulous body — particularly my core to help support my back.
I got stronger, had a few chiro adjustments along the way, and «graduated» from PT. My back still felt fragile, but still better than since I’d given birth to my son in 2009.
Now I go back for occasional chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Placeway. My back is in great shape after years of pain.

Dr. Eiselt was recommended to me when I was having leg problems while running. I had been to so many doctors by this point that was completely deflated and thought i would need to stop running. I was extremely optimistic after my first visit and finally had some real answers! I’m so happy to have found a chiropractor that is attentive to my needs, personable and helps me feel and live better. I would recommend this group and Dr. Eiselt to anyone in need of chiropractic care.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, on the phone and in person. The doctors are compassionate and on time (I rarely had to wait during any of my appointments). and the treatments worked perfectly. So, based on my experience, the 5-​star «as good as it gets» rating is fully warranted.

I’m not even sure how to write this review because I don’t think I got a fair chance to try out their services. I had an appointment last week after work at 6:00. I made sure to give myself plenty of time for traffic and to find it since it had moved since the last time I had been there and arrived a few minutes before 6. I didn’t get back to see the doctor until after 6:30 which was pretty annoying since I had made sure I was there on time… but I liked the doctor and was hoping what he was going to do was going to help me so I made another appt for Saturday at 10am.
I just walked out of there at 10:45. One of my biggest pet peeves in life is people not keeping their appointment times. You are running 10, 15 even 20 minutes late? Fine… but 45+ .If I make a point to show up on time you should make a point to keep your appointment. Stop cramming everyone that calls in and try to keep the appointments you have. I have no idea how much longer I would have had to wait as people were still there who were already there when I had arrived.
The secretaries were rushing in and out of the waiting room constantly but no one ever stopped to give an explanation as to why we were waiting for so long. When it finally got to be 10:45, I walked up to the desk and said they could cancel my appointment because I had been waiting for 45 minutes and couldn’t wait any longer and she said «ok!»
So while I can’t even rate their actual services I am very disappointed in my experience here.
