I was dealing with neuropathy which led to a sharp sting in my arm multiple times per day…he cured me! The last “sting “ I had was the first appointment in his office. Highest recommendations!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr. Ruzila once and was pain free. He is gentle, thorough and extremely passionate about his craft. He explains what he is doing every step of the way and answers all of my questions. He doesn't pretend that something will work if he doesn't believe it will and he doesn't sell false hope. His template for wellness is truly unique and has encouraged me to reframe how I look at healing. I'm looking forward to my continued health journey with Dr. Ruzila - the results speak for themselves!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ruzila gave me my life back! I am a 71 year old female that was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and scoliosis. Over the last 5 years it's been getting worse. Standing for 10 minutes hurt. Walking hurt. I was in constant pain all day. The only comfortable position was lying down taking any pressure off my back. I was scared of not being able to work. Of being bedridden. Not being able to handle the ordeal of an airport to see my 2 out of state sons. I saw a traditional back doctor last month who took X rays and did an MRI. He told me physical therapy would not help and that surgery might be the only thing that would help and he wasn't sure if they could even do that. I left his office crying. I did considerable research and found Dr. Ruzila. After my first visit I felt better. He gave me hope. After my second visit I felt alot better. He put me on an anti-inflammatory diet including taking turmeric. Why no doctor before has never talked to me about diet before I don't know. He is big on the right nutrition. I see Dr. Ruzila twice a week and in a month's time the results are phenomenal. No pain No Ibuprofen No, I can't walk a mile or stand for an hour but I can function again. And he accepts Medicare! As I said, he gave me my life back So happy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second time coming to see Dr. Ruzila and it won’t be the last. Since I had my baby I’ve been experiencing lower back and neck pains. I’m glad I listened to the reviews. He is great at what he does, and is very knowledgeable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recommend Dr. Ruzila for a genuine care and a holistic approach to your care. My son had a knee injury from sports a few months ago and throughout the recovery process and prevention stages, Dr. Ruzila worked with us to understand the nature of the injury and provide only the necessary and effective treatments for my son’s knee to regain its strength to its maximum function and stability.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ruzila has helped my younger athletes in ways that traditional approaches do not.  He helps them with their whole body instead of just focusing on problem area in isolation.  This approach has benefited them with quicker return from injury and overall body wellness. I highly recommend him for athletes with an injury or just looking for injury prevention.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Dr. Ruzilla for feet related issues, and he was able to treat the cause of the issues, not just the issue itself. His knowledge of how the body works, the cause and reactions of certain muscles and movements, it incredible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work Dr. Ruzila has done with my jaw has felt miraculous. I suffer from severe, debilitating & complex head/jaw pain for years. I have tried everything from various injections, medications, holistic modalities, treatments, numerous specialties, etc. to alleviate the pain & nothing has worked. It’s been a discouraging, exhaustive process. I have spent thousands on emergency room visits alone because of the agony. Surgery has been recommended to me for my jaw. And then came Dr. Ruzila. I’ve now seen Dr. Ruzila for about two months & the jaw pain is completely gone. I consider Dr. Ruzila to be far advanced in his expertise via health/healing as well as so thorough, precise, skilled beyond what I’ve ever seen in a chiropractor and professional. I have told friends/family his work feels like a miracle. I’m so grateful to him & I enjoy taking the Metra into Lake Forest, IL from the city of Chicago. I highly recommend him!
