MultiCare Chiropractic

Dr. Guo is not a chiropractor in the traditional sense. She is so much more! She practices a holistic healing that corrects the root of symptoms and improves your overall long-​term health. I travel from downtown to Downers Grove (an hour) to see her because I have not found anyone else like her.
I have had backache for many years. Dr. Guo has been the only doctor to make a true difference without invasive or expensive procedures. She is able to find all my pain spots, including ones I had previously been unaware of. I feel immediate relief after every session, and over time, my condition has improved dramatically. I would highly recommend Dr. Guo to any friends or family.

I was in a car accident last week where somebody «rear-​ended» my car (which was stopped at a red light) going about 30 mph. Needless to say there was some back and neck tenderness and pain. I was trying to «man-​up» and take the pain so as not to appear greedy and money-​grubbing on his insurance but after a week my lower back was still sore and just about every person I’ve seen since the accident has told me some horror story about how their back never hurt but they went to the chiropractor and had damage to their spine.
So I decided maybe I should just bite the bullet and see a chiropractor. I honestly just googled «chiropractor» and «Downers Grove,» Dr. Guo was the only one to pop up with 5 positive reviews. I called her and she scheduled me in that day– bonus points for her! Her office is out of her house which actually makes it seem way less scary and way more comfortable than going to an office. She looked at pictures of my car and my car itself to get an idea of the damage done and then got right to checking out my spine. I didn’t tell her too much detail in terms of what hurt, what kind of pain, and where it was located but she found ALL the areas that had had pain since the incident and asked described the pain she thought I was feeling. Dead on! I thought that was awesome!
Anyway, she decided to get an X-​Ray before doing too much work because my neck and back are pretty badly out of alignment. She got the X-​Ray facility on the phone and tried to get them to schedule me immediately; unfortunately they were closing for the night. So I have an appointment for Friday with them and Dr. Guo said just to stop by on my back and she’d have a closer look and do more work. Then she offered to start a little bit of work on my back so I wasn’t in pain until Friday. I was there for over an hour and she made me feel like my welfare was important to her. She is great and myself (and my back) can’t wait to see her again!

I’ve had headache problems for as long as I can remember. When the pain hits, it is difficult to perform any tasks because I would not be able to concentrate. The pain used to occur two to three times per week. I had never bothered to see a doctor about it because my mother also has headache problems, so I thought it was merely a genetic issue. I used to try to sleep it off. Being a naturalist, I reserve painkillers as a last resort, but then the pain started to worsen that I could not fall asleep with it anymore, and I had to reach for the bottles in the nightstand frequently.
So a friend recommended Dr. Guo. During the first session, she told me that a slight dislocation of several vertebrae on my spine have contributed to the problem. She focused her treatment on my head, neck, and the top half of my spine. It was an extremely painful hour, which almost made me hesitate to go back, but that following night I’d slept and woken up feeling much much better. I could not feel the pressure that used to be on the top of my head and tie up muscles on my neck anymore. I had gone back for more treatments, and occasionally Dr. Guo would also pass on exercise and massaging tips for me to work on myself at home. My headache has not been completely subsided, but it only visits once every one or two months now, which is a drastic decrease considering the non-​functional days I used to have, and I am so grateful.
So thank you, Dr. Guo, for giving me so many pain-​free days to enjoy. Not to mention, thank you also for your patient and caring personality, peaceful treatment room environment, the music, and your amazing handwork that make every visit (and the days following it) so pleasant!
(Oh and I also love the heating pads put on my back at the end of every treatment session! :))

I’m an international humanitarian photographer and was diagnosed with an extremely rare type of leukemia (chronic eosinophilic) in 2007 from which many complications arose, namely the death and collapse of bone tissue in my left hip (avascular necrosis). I couldn’t walk without pain and had to rely on crutches which affected my work because, well, it’d be difficult to get to remote mountain villages in Afghanistan with a bad hip. That all changed when I met Dr. Guo, though.
Over the following months, Dr. Guo painstakingly reworked all the muscles that had become grossly misaligned from the sudden shortening of my left leg. It was an EXTREMELY painful process but definitely worthwhile because I am now able to walk again without intense, debilitating pain.
Once I «got my leg back,» I went back out into the field and have since worked in Cambodia, India and Egypt. I still see Dr. Guo regularly when I’m back home in Chicago and she is tirelessly working to keep my condition in check so I can go back out there again.
Thank you, Dr. Guo!
