Lower Body: Back Pain, Sciatica

*Disclaimer; These reviews testimonials do not guarantee specific results. Health conditions vary by unique history of individuals. This page is intended to promote the awareness of the effects of the atlas misalignment between the head and neck on human health and functions, thus on the systemic health issues.

I was able to bend, squat, lift, and reach in ways I had not been able to for years.

Thank you, Dr. Chung and Dr. Hwang, for helping me get my life back! My last adjustment was October 23, 2019! Soon after that adjustment, I was able to bend, squat, lift, and reach in ways I had not been able to for years. My physical therapy progress immediately skyrocketed! The greatest result was being able to return to classroom teaching after years of being too weak to work. It is incredible to be getting my life back. Thank you for helping me achieve alignment when I came to you in 2019!

Highly recommend this treatment for neck and back pain. It’s the only thing that worked.

Dr Chung and Dr Hwang are very kind and take a lot of time to listen and make sure they are doing everything right. They are also much more affordable than other NUCCA doctors in the area. I am so very happy I found them. They were able to help me when ten other conventional doctors could not. Highly recommend this treatment for neck and back pain. It’s the only thing that worked.

I’ve been to multiple different chiropractors for my hip and no one could figure or even help relieve my tension and pain until i came here.

This place has been life changing for me I’ve been to multiple different chiropractors for my hip and no one could figure or even help relieve my tension and pain until i came here, they are very in depth and thorough with their exams and they were able to help me with my issues. Now i go back every so often for an adjustment to keep everything on track. Highly recommended.

I can only thank Dr. Chung for getting me back on track to achieving symmetry and, ultimately, a more enjoyable life.

Dr. Young Chung is thorough and calculated. I went into this with low hopes after dealing with a neck injury for several years, and Dr. Chung was able to use his methods to allow my body to take its natural shape and heal, alleviating the symptoms that I dreaded for so many years. I still continue to heal and I can only thank Dr. Chung for getting me back on track to achieving symmetry and, ultimately, a more enjoyable life.

In 2001, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc which required surgery

Since then, my back was never properly aligned. I went to a Chiropractor every 3 months or so for an adjustment in order to walk straight and avoid pain. After only 1 adjustment at the NUCCA Wellness Clinic, my back issues have resolved themselves. No more pain or frequent visits to the Chiropractor. I highly recommend going to Dr. Chung if you have any physical issues BEFORE opting for any surgeries.

My sciatic pain subsided 95% within 6 weeks!

A friend of mine has been raving about Dr. Chung for many years. I have been living with back pain for a long time, but then I started to have sciatic nerve pain on my left side and down my left leg. The pain was excruciating and I had hoped that it would go away on it’s own. After two months, it did not and that is when I decided to see if Dr. Chung could help me.

Because he does upper cervical care and align’s bodies from the shoulder’s and neck, I wasn’t sure that this would help the pain in my leg. He gave me X-rays on the first visit and I returned the following week and he treated me. My body was re-aligned after this treatment. He explained to me that when our bodies are aligned, the body will begin to heal itself. The longer that we have had the problem, the longer it will take to heal, but the process begins. At first, I returned every week to see how I was feeling and to make sure that my body held the alignment. My body did hold it, and then I came back every 2 weeks and then 3 weeks. The alignment held and my sciatic pain subsided 95% within 6 weeks. I did get some relief within the first 3 weeks.

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Chung and was able to get relief from the intense pain that I had. Dr. Chung and his staff are very welcoming and explain what they are doing during treatment and why. I highly recommend his practice.

After years of suffering from back pain and two herniated discs,

I found Dr. Chung. He changed my life! After his therapy all my back problems are gone. Of course I don’t abuse my new condition but I have a perfect normal life again.

I noticed my back in pain and I was limping.

Several years ago, I had a knee replacement. I was doing fine, however after a period of time, I noticed my back in pain and I was limping. A friend of mine suggested Dr. Chung. Dr. Chung told me my one leg was longer than the other. My first thought was the doctor who did my knee replacement didn’t measure correctly. Previous to my knee replacement, I had gone to other chiropractors but my relief of shoulder, and back pain was becoming less and less. I was hesitant in trying yet another chiropractor. I recently had a check up appointment and have kept my adjustment for over a year. For me, Dr. Chung has made me feel very good, too bad there is not a cure for old age.

Good Health & Preventative Practices

Dr. Chung is a wonderfully patient Dr of this NUCCA chiropractic specialty practice. My first adjustments of this type were administered by a Dr in Tampa Bay who was trained under Dr Dickholtz and where I called home for many years. Upon returning to the Chicagoland area to be close to family, I knew I would be in good hands at this office. What a blessing that Dr Chung sees me early on Saturday mornings as I commute from near Frankfort, IL to his office on Peterson Av in Chicago. Just last night he even stayed late to allow me travel time so I may get that most important adjustment. It’s been some 16 yrs that I have received these adjustments and the relief I experience is natural and quick and keeps me from needing prescribed drugs that I so dislike. I suggest this “treatment” for one and all, young and old alike to maintain good health as well as preventative medicine!

Ah, no upper or lower back or sciatic nerve pain! This is how I spell RELIEF! Thank you kindly Dr Young Chung.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in high school. It was not bad enough to need surgery, but it was bad enough to limit my life. 

I have seen Dr. Chung about 4 years. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in high school. It was not bad enough to need surgery, but it was bad enough to limit my life. I always have some right shoulder and hip pain and I have not been able to go on walks too long due to the pain. I tried many treatments that various chiropractors recommended. They said they could not make my spine straight they could lower the pain and strengthen my back muscles. I never expected I can live without any pain until I met Dr. Chung at a health conference. He said he specialized in upper cervical chiropractic care and I wanted to try it. Surprisingly, it really worked. It may seem pricey at the beginning from the x-rays, diagnosis, and having weekly sessions, but long run it was totally worth it and can change the rest of your life. I highly recommended him.
