Aligned Modern Health

I’m a big fan of a more holistic approach when it comes to my health. I’m by no means a natural extremist but I believe in a combination of modern and western medicine when necessary.
After going to a few different places around the city, I found Aligned Modern Health on Division. I love that they’re invested and interested in my overall health and wellbeing. They never force or pressure you into sessions or treatments you don’t need. They listen, spend the time with you and never rush. It’s so nice to be treated like a human instead of just a body.
The entire team is friendly, approachable and most importantly treat you like family. I highly recommend them to all my friends and coworkers in the city.

For months I’ve been experiencing consistent lower back pain, which has gotten progressively better due to the thoughtful care at AMH. Everyone at Aligned Modern Health made my experience truly wonderful. A big thanks to Shera, Aaron, Dr. Kasten and Lisa for all your help these last few months. I couldn’t have asked for better people or better care. You truly are the BEST!

This was my first chiropractor experience and I couldn’t be more happy. The entire staff at Wicker Park AMH is amazing. They’ve worked so hard at resolving the neck issues I’ve been having and they’re always so positive, welcoming, and fun. They’re also extremely flexible and accommodating with my busy schedule. I look forward to returning here for my healthcare and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an awesome chiropractor!

Aligned Modern Health was highly recommended by my coworker last fall of 2015 when I was complaining about some pain in my lower back. About a month later, I sneezed, and an intense, sharp pain shot up my lower back. I could barely walk. I scheduled an appointment immediately with AMH who gladly took me in. Dr. Kasten, Shera, and Aaron were very cool and very accommodating. Not only did I recover completely, but their proactive approach has helped in preventing any future incidents. I now go once a month for preventative measures.
Along with the traditional chiropractic adjustments, they offer massage, electrical muscle stimulation, traction, and personal training. The staff is very friendly, but more importantly, they know what they’re doing.

I have had an amazing experience with Aligned Modern Health. Everyone is super warm, friendly, and helpful. I have received fantastic results from their chiropractic department, and I’m planning on utilizing more of the services they offer. All of my health concerns have improved 100%. Dr. Kasten, Sheera, and Aaron have been awesome in helping me throughout my time there, and I could not be more pleased with the over all experience. This is a truly great group of people and they are very dedicated to the clients they work with. Can’t wait to explore more here!!!

I started going to Align Modern Health in early 2016 after having chronic back pain for years. Dr. Kasten, Sheera, Aaron and the rest of the staff have been incredibly professional and a joy to be around during my visits. Most importantly, my back pain has been reduced and I have found out about new techniques to help keep my posture in good form.
Align Modern Health has become a part of my normal routine and really happy I decided to start treatment. Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to improve their health and lifestyle.

Last fall when I could barely move, Dr. Katsen, Shera, and Aaron took me in and helped me not only relieve my pain but provide me with tools to strengthen my back and core for a long-​term solution to my back issues. They even squeezed me in on a Saturday during an extraordinarily busy time at AMH after I had fallen down some stairs and was in a lot of pain. Aaron is awesome, and has not only helped me do correct stretches, but has given me ways to work on my core strength at home. To be honest, I was originally skeptical that a chiropractor would provide a long-​term solution to my back issues. But Dr. Katsen and her team exceeded any expectations that I had. Shera is also a master of making everything work together. I highly recommend AMH.

I have been going to Aligned Modern Health since December of 2015 and I do not think I can go anywhere else! They offer multiple services and the staff is truly amazing! I have appointments with Dr. Gemelas, Dr. Kasten and Olivia Wagner and they all are extremely supportive and show they genuinely care about their clients! The facility is always clean and the office manger Shera is the
. She makes you feel welcomed right when you walk in and calls your insurance right away to see what coverage you have with any of their services. I have also referred two of my coworkers to Aligned (different location than WP) and they are grateful they can go to a place that will support their healthy lifestyle. Aligned is truly a great place if you are looking to improve your heath or want to make a positive change in your health and lifestyle!

I started going to Align Modern Health in December of 2015. I was having really bad migraines and shoulder tightness. I was tired of taking oral medication and I really wanted to try something new. I wanted to be more proactive about my health. I found Aligned Modern Health by using the app ZocDoc. Sheera called me to confirm my appointment. I was a little weary on what to expect. I had never been to a Chiropractor and to be honest I have only had 2 massages in my entire life. When I walked in for my first appointment, Sheera handed me paperwork that needed to be filled out. I was a little unsure of how to fill it out but she offered me her assistance as well as providing examples. I was then taken to the exam room to be evaluated by Dr. Kasten. She explained to me in great detail what she thought was going on and what my treatment plan would consist of. After my detailed exam, I was adjusted. I am not exaggerating when I say this, but I felt taller after my adjustment. I was also more aware of my posture. After my adjustment, I worked with Aaron on exercises to relieve pressure and tension in my neck and spine. To say Align Modern Health is great would be an understatement. Align Modern Health is an amazing place and I always feel so welcomed every time I come. They treat each patient with respect and always offer support. Align Modern Health has become a part of my weekly routine. It it one of the best decisions I could make for myself and for my health. Keep up the great work guys!

I can’t say enough about Aligned on Division! This team not only knows their stuff, they legitimately care about you and your health. Starting with Shera in the front she is one of the most organized people with an amazing memory and great taste in music :). Dr. Kasten & Aaron tackled my ‘tech neck’ pain and ailments with ease last fall/​winter and I was back again after some hip and leg issues this spring. The team not only knows my health issues but always check in on my life and how things are going which makes my visits feel much more like family trips than a doctor’s office. I have no need to search for any chiropractic/​physical therapy or massage services in Chicago since I’ve found where I will continue to visit as well as sending all my friends!

I have been seeing Dr. Kaston and Aaron on and off for the last 8 months. I had ACL surgery almost 2 years ago and messed up my knee again this past August, which lead to awful back pain. I cannot begin to explain how much seeing Dr. Kaston has helped me. This is one of the friendliest offices I have ever been in. Shera has always been able to fit me in, even with my busy schedule, and when I hadn’t been in for a while she still checked in! The staff is so friendly and fun that it almost feels like you aren’t at the doctor – needless to say, I actually look forward to going to my appointments!

Where do I even start… I love this office! As a first time mom (due in March :)), I have been dealing with horrible back pain since the start of my pregnancy. I also grind my teeth, so I was in definite need of some sort of relief. I knew the pain would only get worse with the baby growing so much. It is a very small staff, & they all work SO hard to make your visit the best it can be!
From the moment you walk in, Shera greets you & always remembers your name. Then you go do some stretching & strengthening with Aaron. As much as I dread doing the work with Aaron, he always encourages me, makes me laugh, & I know the exercises he has me do are specialized for my problem areas. I always feel stronger when I leave!
Dr. Maggie Kaston is the Chiropractor, & she has magic hands! She is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of her field, & she is trained in dealing with all the aches & pains associated with pregnancy. I never feel rushed when I’m with her, she answers ALL my questions & always explains what she is doing in detail. She is truly a ray of sunshine!
Bottom Line: My pregnancy would be pretty miserable if I hadn’t found Aligned Modern Health. I look forward to every appointment, & I always leave not only feeling better, but with a smile on my face! I love Aligned Modern Health!

The staff could not have been more friendly. Everyone was so upbeat and had such a positive energy. I loved the modern relaxing atmosphere that made me feel like I was at a spa. I will 100% recommend to my friends

Absolutely blows my previous chiropractic office out of the water. Office manager is friendly and extremely up-​front about what insurance will cover. Dr. Kasten took her time evaluating my condition and actually did all of the x-​rays and eval questions herself, instead of just popping in for a second to do the adjustment. I was taught a few stretches for next time and I’m feeling looser already, after one visit. Can’t wait to return! Oh, and the minimalist décor is very modern, sanitary and inviting.

After being injured during a race last year, I didn’t have great luck with another treatment plan at a different place last winter. So I tried Aligned without much hope that it would help.
Within my first visit, I felt like I had acquired some real tools to strengthen the areas where I was feeling pain. Dr. Kasten showed me an x-​ray of my back and hips and helped explain what was out of whack, which was actually pretty invaluable for someone who’s a visual learner. It contextualized the problem and demonstrated why I was doing specific exercises. I had never been «adjusted» before and now I look forward to it since it helps loosen everything up. I actually look forward to doing the group of exercises I learned at Aligned after workouts, against all odds.
It also helps that Shera and Dr. Kasten have awesome attitudes and are focused about what’s going on with you and how you’re progressing. I was pretty shocked at how much they remembered about my situation after my first visit and how attentive they were about it. They’re happy to tell you all about what they’re doing and how it’ll help. The office is bright, clean, and smells great-​it definitely doesn’t feel like a hole-​in-​the-​wall where treatments are vague or unexplained, which is how I perceived many other offices before trying Aligned. It also seems like they have frequent public events and welcome people who walk in to find out about their place, which is definitely good for the neighborhood.
If you’re on the fence, just go check it out-​it feels way less like a doctor’s office than a place that’ll help you develop skills to avoid the doctor’s office. Great approach and awesome people.
PS: This really has no bearing on treatment, but Dr. Kasten (who is from WI) gave me a grade-​a recommendation on apple picking places in Wisconsin. Ask her.

I came to the grand opening party in August, and have been getting therapy for my lower back since then with Dr. Kasten. I feel 20 years younger!
You’re greeted when you come in by Shera and her wonderful smile. She makes you feel at home and not at a doctor’s office.
Now that I’m improving and don’t come as frequently, I find myself looking for reasons to come in like COFFEE.
If you have any neck or back issues, stop in to see them. This is definitely a feel good place!
