Lifetime Health and Wellness Clinic

The staff is very personable and professional. Both Doctors are outstanding. They really care about their patients and do everything possible to help lessen your pain. Very knowledgable about the best and newest treatments for ailments

Very friendly staff. Hadn’t been to chiropractor before but they made me feel at ease and comfortable. Very clean office and professional

«I was recommended to this office by my dance coach after having pain in my lower back from years of dancing. Dr. Schening and Dr. Oswald have been really great in helping me with all the options for my health. I’ve been feeling better and have even scheduled a massage as well. Their staff is all really nice and great to talk to while you are there.»

I injured my back while working on my yard. And being the stubborn SOB I am, I delayed going to a chiropractor. But a friend told me about Lifetime Health and Wellness. And I’m glad they did. Dr. Oswald was my doctor and he was great — talked me through everything he was doing and going to do. I felt very at ease throughout my appointment. After my session I left feeling so much better and could actually twist and turn my back again. He suggested taking it easy for a few days which I totally did.
The clinic itself was very nice and clean. And their hours are very accommodating. I’ll definitely be going back.

This place is amazing. I started coming here when my mom recommended it for my sports injuries, as she had been coming here for awhile already. I had heard sketchy things about chiropractors in general so I wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first. I’m so glad I stuck with it. The building was not hard to find and they have their own parking lot so you don’t have to deal with street parking. The receptionists Julie and Maria are amazing and energetic and are a pleasure to talk to while waiting for the doctors.
Once a week, I come in for massages. I’ve had massages from both Teneia and Chelly. They both apply the perfect amount of pressure and are very knowledgable when it comes to massage therapy.
I work primarily with Dr. Oswald, who has helped me get rid of a lot of pain I’ve been experiencing for the past few years. Dr. O also had a lot of patience with me while I was still participating in sports, as I wasn’t ready to stop playing. He always knows what to do to make things feel better; including giving me a back brace that I believe has played a huge part in relieving pain in my lower back. I also just got my orthotics that he had made for me, and so far so good! Now that I have been done with collegiate sports for about six months, I can now focus on getting myself better and there’s no other place I’d rather do that at.
Overall, Dr. Schening’s staff is amazing and very professional! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is experiencing pain.

Full disclosure: this was my first time ever getting a full body massage.
I purchased a Groupon (priced at 30 but received it for 20 thanks to a deal). Take advantage of the Groupon deals!
I was a little discouraged from coming here because of the negative reviews here but I’m glad I stuck through. The place was actually pretty easy to find. It’s labeled as a chiropractic office so it doesn’t say «Lifetime Wellness Clinic». There is a parking lot so that’s definitely convenient. The clinic was actually pretty nice. I did feel like I was at some cheap motel when I got in the private room but the massage was excellent. Natia is your go-​to girl. She was very friendly and knew exactly what she was doing.
It helps to come in at least 15 mins early to fill out paper work and get the whole hours worth of the massage. Be as relaxed as possible during your massage!
All in all I definitely recommend coming here.

Ok– massage was really good, Tania was a sweetheart and the pressure was fantastic, I feel great. I just feel sad that this talented massage therapist who lives in Gurnee is traveling to this shit hole of an office in Arlington Heights. Let me explain.
Primarily, scheduling was pretty annoying, but I finally got my massage scheduled after playing phone tag for quite some time. I was told the terms and conditions, and boy are there a lot. They told me it was acutally going to be a 50 minute massage, deducting 10– 5 to undress, 5 to dress. Takes me all but 30 seconds to take off/​put on my clothes. Moving on…
Get a call around 3:15 PM saying that my 4 PM apt was changed to a 4:30. Alright, I’m flexible, and I work 2 minutes away from this place. Moving on…
This place is hard to find, even if it was 2 minutes away. And holy shit, is it in the shadiest little nook of the richest and nicest areas of Arlington Heights. I could not find this place for the life of me, as there was NO SIGN THAT SAID LIFETIME CLINIC. Makes for a very confusing experience to find this place. FYI, it is to the left of a Century 21 office and to the right of the scariest, shadiest Bates Motel looking place I’ve seen. I find the place, and look around, and the Bates Motel place was probably an extension of this place, because it was a very sad, depressing little clinic. There was 70’s exercise ball ads, a bunch of bottles of pills that said they cured everything from sexual problems to high blood pressure, and random food mixes for pudding and salsa. Ok.
The massage room is equally depressing. I ended up having to stare at a random bottle of febreeze for 20 minutes of the massage, then a tiny air duct for another 20 min.
Tania did a great job. Lovely lady, sweet, and much, much, much better than this place.
I walk out after my massage, and look to my left. There is a open room full of old broken computers and binders. I look ahead of me to see a nasty, what appeared to be a broken down toilet in a bathroom so small it looks like it used to be a closet.
To think medical care and half naked people being rubbed down happens here on a daily basis… is concerning.
I walk out to the young chiropractor who wants to do an evaluation. Its about 5:45 now and I need to go home. He mumbles that I should call back because I have a lot of issues with my back, according to Tania. What?! Back it up… I ended my massage 30 seconds ago, and just walked up to you… how do you know that?
Overrall, Tania is great, but this place is shady as all fuck.

I was given a massage through Amazon Local. The instructions were to call the 800 number, they will call back to schedule. It took them a full week to call back (I called twice) and when I tried to schedule, they refused to honor the voucher on the weekends. The voucher had stipulations but «no weekends» was not one of them. They offered an afternoon appointment but they are only open until 6 pm. So, people who have jobs-​your out of luck… based on the customer service, I will never step foot in this place.

My massage was fabulous, but the over all experience and ambience of the place was lacking. I would not return for that reason. It seemed kind of dirty.

** Massage Review ** for Arlington Heights
From an Amazon Locals deal, scheduled 3 appointments for massage… fabulous savings so I wanted to give this place a try. The scheduling, BIG lag and convoluted process of leaving massages and getting call backs. UGH. Not a fan, and there were a couple snafus.
Lose a point… and don’t tell me you are going to charge me $ 10 for rescheduling within in 24 hours when you guys have an answering service, and can’t even answer the phone to make an appointment initially… or mess up appointments (witnessed it while sitting in the waiting area — double booked me and another person apparently).
The area is congested with traffic and it is awkward to get to the building — which is difficult to find even with GPS — because signage is seriously nowhere near the street. I had to be in the next lot to even see it… building is small, tan brick and circa 1980… next to what looks to be a motel-​like building from the same era.
Exterior and entry aside, the interior is standard. Massage area was okay, massage was passable but not anything I would pay for, even at a 50% discount from standard chiro massage… which is this place’s normal price. I honestly have gotten better shiatsu /​deep tissue (my preference) from ‘nonprofessional’ sessions… and my cat.
Generally massage therapists ask ‘how’s the pressure?” Didn’t get that, so I asked what level she was at… (response was 60% — to warm up), I asked if she could bump it to 100%+ and I could let her know to dial it down. Not much change even later. Pressure seemed weaker at back (asked for that to be focus) and stronger at neck (asked her to address it — no change). Soooo dissatisfied.
If Swedish is more your style, you might like it though…
Afterward, normally water is offered — I had to ask. Never had a massage before where water was not offered… again, like the lack of ‘Pressure OK?’ check, a flag that this was not the best trained massage person… hmm.
Me — decided not worth coming back, so I ‘goodbye’ tipped 30% (she seemed surprised), paid for just the one at regular price with the Chiro guy at the desk (explanation given), and had Amazon refund the purchase.
Didn’t net /​save that much, but didn’t see a point in coming back 2x times to walk away with essentially no change from when I walked in… well maybe a little oilier.

I bought a Groupon to this place because it’s close to my house. Making the appointment was somewhat of a hassle because everyone and their mothers bought a Groupon so they were fully booked. When I called, I received a voicemail that basically said they were booked due to the Groupon deal. I left a message and they called me back the next morning.
I came here after work and boy was it difficult to find. The Groupon states it’s for a massage at Lifetime Health and Wellness Clinic, so I’m expecting to see a sign or storefront with that name. I see nada, and I drove past the building and had to back track. The construction around that area doesn’t help much. Apparently, Lifetime Health and Wellness is located inside a chiropractic clinic.
I parked half a block away from the building so not too far. I just pulled into the first side street I saw. I’m looking for the address and saw the chiropractic clinic matched, but there was no sign of this place. I’m about to open the door and see that there’s a sign telling me to «use the next door.» The next door I saw was a brown one and it was locked so I walk around to the next available door and saw a tiny, private lot. The door was wide open. I stepped inside and saw a client as well as the receptionist. She was not paying attention at all. I’m not even sure what she was doing. I waited for her to turn around and finally I said, «Excuse me.» I ask if this is the so called place and she said yeah. She handed me a clip board to fill out a form and then asked for my Groupon. Did not give me a pen at all. How the hell am I supposed to fill this form without a pen? So I just took the sign in sheet pen.
I sit down and take a look at the room. The outside of the building looks pretty crappy and shabby. The inside looks just the same maybe a bit more decent. When I walked in, I first thought of the interior of Las Asadas, that delicious Mexican joint in Des Plaines. There were about 6 or so rooms with curtains, I’m guessing for the chiropractor. I hoped they weren’t used for the massages. I noticed the chiropractor wanted to sell people any and everything including Swiss balls, orthotics, pillows, pills to manage pain and PMS cramps, etc. It was very gimmicky and tacky in my opinion. There is a bathroom which is well kept.
So I finish my paperwork with a few minutes to spare. My appointment is was at 4 and it was 4, but my massage therapist did not come get me even though I saw her walking about. About 7 minutes later, she (Nicole) came to get me and showed me to my room, which was luckily one with a door. She had looked at my form and then reiterated what I wanted her to work on, which was my back, shoulders, and neck.
The room is nice with a bright dull lamp, which is an oxymoron, but it’s the only way to describe it. Music is playing in the background, but so are voices from the outside which defeats the relaxation aspect of the massage, but I could live. So I change, she knocks, and we get the party started.
The massage itself was good. Nicole’s techniques were great as well as the pressure, but I was hoping she’d work around the muscles of my shoulder bones. It seemed like she danced around my problem areas and didn’t wanna cause me pain, but I do like the pain that comes with massages. I guess I should’ve mentioned to her that I wanted her to work on my scapular muscles, but I did say shoulder as my problem area. She had no problem using maximal pressure on my quads or calves, which felt good. She did ask me if the pressure was good and I said «yes» although I could’ve tolerated more on my back and shoulders. Even though my massage started late, she made sure to go the full hour. Overall, it was a good massage.
I would’ve given it 3.5 stars had the place been easier to find or they could’ve mentioned it was located in a chiropractic clinic.

I highly recommend Dr. Oswald. He is professional yet friendly. While waiting for my (Groupon) massage (which I highly recommend) I read the info on Chiropractors (something I had not tried before) and thought why not, nothing in the past has worked for me. My lower back and my neck/​shoulders (headaches) needed some relief. I can now honestly say that Dr. Oswald has helped me with the adjustments to my lower back and neck. He also suggested that I try wearing a back brace for a few hours a day, now it feels much better and I rarely need it (but just in case, I’m glad I have it, it has come in handy). As for my neck/​shoulder (headaches) this has been a chronic problem. I used to get headaches that would last 4 – 5 days before I started seeing Dr. Oswald. Receiving treatments from him on a regular basis has made my headaches (neck/​shoulder aches) diminish significantly (I didn’t think it was possible, no other doctor or any amount of physical therapy had helped in the past). So, thank you Dr. Oswald.

Through Groupon, the 3 massages I received were decently effective. However, the establishment itself is shabby and run down. After my last massage I was coaxed into a fee consultation with the chiropractor. All i wanted was some information about my adrenal glands and how they pertain to my fatigue. Well, after a 30 minute physical and 2 X-​rays the chiropractor is trying to get me out the door with a back brace stating «the insurance will cover it» Dr. Timothy Schening is a fast-​talking swindler! He uses scare tactics to get you thinking you need extraneous testing, equipment and supplements. DO NOT TRUST Dr. TIMOTHY SCHENING OR THIS FACILITY!!!
