Dr. Douglas Krebs - Chicago Spine + Sports

12/06/2007 Posted by lisaram

I was recently in an accident where a truck hauling a trailer with 65 canoes rear ended me without much of a stop. I was sore instantly, but figured it would go away quickly. By Monday, something had to be done! A friend referred me to Dr. Krebs, and I can't thank him enough. Having never been to a chiropractor before this, I didn't know what to expect and was a little scared at having my back "cracked". I mentioned this to Dr. Krebs, and he quickly put me at ease. After explaining what happened and assessing my back, he gave me a thorough medical explanation of what was wrong and how it needed to be corrected. After he completed his adjustments, he showed me some very simple excercises to do at home to help with the healing process. I woke up the next day feeling 100% better. I would highly recommend Dr. Krebs to anyone, and he is so great, I will be bringing my mom in for his expertise!!!

Pros: Easy scheduling and none to little wait time

I've been using Advantage health & Wellness on and off over the past 3 years to help with various sports and weight lifting injuries, and have healed quickly by the due care I received. Dr. Krebs listens to you carefully as you describe what pain you're in and/or how you injured yourself and quickly is able to diagnose the problem and makes you feel better after the first visit. The scheduling is very flexible and if you can't get in to see Dr. krebs, he shares offices with Dr. Donahue, who I feel very confortable with as well, and operates very similiarly to Dr. krebs, so either doctor can hep you out.

Pros: service, knowledge, flexible schedule

I've been to chiropractors before and you usually feel like cattle being herded around until you finally get "popped" and kicked out the door. Dr. Krebs actually spent the time needed to understand my condition and had the knowledge to truly fix my problem. He did this in just a few visits and now I feel great and he gave me to tools on how to control it myself. He is a great doctor and has a great office. I can't say enough about how grateful I am and how lucky I was to find him.

Pros: Not Rushed, Smart Doc, Great Results

Cons: None

Due to frequent heavy lifting and the physically demanding nature of my job, I've injured my back in the past by doing things incorrectly. Through monthly visits with Dr. Krebs and the daily excercise "homework", I'm now in better condition to handle whatever my job throws at me. I've done construction for 8 years and have seen 3 other chiropractors, 2 in town, but these are by far the best results I've had. I no longer have to miss work, request "light duty" assignments, or use pain pills. Probably the greatest benefit of his style of treatment is that he has taught me how to maintain myself in order to avoid injury- and it has worked.

Pros: scheduling is easy, flexible, convenient, knowledgeable doctor with integrity, gets results

Cons: parking can be tricky at certain times of day- easier after 6pm (open till 7)

I finally found someone who identified and cure my problem. I was having knee and low back pain for all of last triathlon season. No one seemed to be able to help me. I tried several other chiropractors and massage therapists. None of which helped me at all. Then i was referred to Dr. Krebs by my Family Doctor. Dr. Krebs took the time to explain what was going on with me and he let me know that what my options were. I choose to start treatment with him and his staff and i have never felt better. Thank you!!

Pros: Very Friendly and Helpful Staff.

Cons: i can't use my pain as an excuse anymore

Dr Krebs has worked miracles on my back. My basketball career would have ended years ago without his help. He is very flexible when it comes to scheduling - if your back hurts he will find time to get you in. He will identify your problem quicky and offer exercises to help correct it. His beautiful receptionist is very friendly, always remembers your name, and is helpful when the doctor is busy with other patients. The location makes office visits easy - plenty of parking on Diversey and close to the L.

Pros: Location, always on schedule

Cons: None

Dr. Krebs took the time to educate me about the source of my pain, and ways to prevent it. It was nice to work with a Dr. who did not make me feel rushed, or like a number. Not to mention, his location is outstanidng! Very convenient.

Dr Krebs spent quality time with me during my visits to ensure he found the root of my problem. I've been having chronic pain from carrying my laptop on my right shoulder - daily. With his help - the pain is gone. I continue to go for treatment to prevent further issues. He is caring and patient and has often stayed late so I can make it in after work. I highly reccomend his services.

Pros: Late Hours, Quality Care, Good Results
