We are Open and Treating Patients
Update on COVID-19 (coronavirus) for Our Patients

Orthopedic Physical Therapy Services and River North Physical Therapy are open and will be open for the foreseeable future. As essential workers, we believe it is our duty to take some of the burden off of the hospital systems during these trying times.

We are following the CDC guidelines for the safety of our patients and employees with disinfecting, gloves, masks and social distancing with private treatment rooms.

So please, think about conservative options like Physical Therapy (or Chiropractic Care at our sister clinic - Homer Chiropractic Clinic) instead of using the emergency room. You DO NOT need a prescription or order - Physical Therapy in IL was granted direct access in 2018!

Throw out your neck or back, come to me. Your knee or shoulder surgery has been postponed? We will help you handle the pain!

All the family is here: Drs. Bruce, Helen, Stephanie and Brian. We have been in this community since 1989 and our doors are always open.

Avoid the ER and we can address your musculoskeletal problems. The ER is too dangerous at this time. Call - (708) 301-2255 to schedule an appointment or Virtual Visit.

During this crisis Medicare, Blue Cross, United Health Care, Humana and Aetna and many more insurances have approved Virtual Health Visits through FaceTime for IPhones and Google Now for Android and Gmail accounts as well as Zoom and Go to Meeting and many other digital connections.

We are here to ease the stress and anxiety of shelter in place for those suffering with pain.
