Peter McManus, DC

If I could rate 10 stars, I would! Peter is the best! He is caring, incredibly knowledgeable and gets to the root of the issue immediately in order to get you feeling great with minimal sessions. He takes his time with each patient and thoroughly explains everything he’s doing. You walk out feeling much better physically as well as emotionally knowing that the only thing Peter cares about is getting you better as quickly as possible. I have an old herniated disc injury that would flare up pretty consistently. Since starting to see Peter, it has pretty much been at bay. I now look forward to my monthly maintenance sessions and as long as I’m in Chicago will always incorporate him into my wellness plan!

Excellent practitioner — knowledgable and honest. Restores faith in the profession. I Definitely recommend him.

Great chiropractor! Woke up one morning with loss of mobility in my back. With only a few sessions with Dr McManus, I’m feeling almost 100% again.
My sister had a terrible experience with a chiropractor a few years back — appts. 3 times a week for infinity, X-​rays and other tests constantly, little to no face to face time with the chiropractor…
My experience couldn’t be further from hers — he spends time actually evaluating my issues & gives me exercises to further improve my results.

I hadn’t been to a chiropractor before, but I decided to go because I was having some back issues that seemed to be getting worse. It was a great experience and I am feeling much better as a result. I love that he does not overdo treatment and I had just the number of sessions that were needed. Good, personable guy as well.

I’ve been to LOTS of chiropractors in my 30-​some years, and Peter is the best I’ve seen, hands down. I’ve had mixed experiences with a lot of chiros who have required expensive and unnecessary x-​rays and tests, said I needed to come in twice a week for months, or seem to believe that chiropractic care is all you need. Even if I felt better physically, I often left feeling used or manipulated (and not in the way you want to feel manipulated by a chiropractor).
Peter is not only a warm and sincere person, he genuinely has his clients’ best interests in mind. I see him only as needed (no pressure to make appointments), he usually gives me exercises to do help my problem areas (no expensive tests or physical therapy evaluations), and he always checks in about my general wellbeing and encourages self-​care. He clearly has a great understanding of general wellness and all the systems in the body and educates his patients about how they work together and interact… something that is sorely missing in a lot of practices.
I always look forward to seeing Peter, and it’s been pretty easy to schedule an appointment because he’s so flexible. Even though I changed insurance plans and he’s no longer in network, I still see him because I don’t want to see anyone else! If you’re looking for a new chiropractor, or if you’re nervous because you’ve never been and aren’t sure what to expect, Peter’s your guy!

I have been looking for a chiropractor for quite some time. I’m glad I was recommended to Dr. McManus. He lays down not only what he will perform but also what is the origin of the physical problem. He also explains few exercises which can be easily done at home on a daily routine. Will definitely keep him in mind for my family needs, and would recommend him to friends.

Best Chiropractor in Chicago!
He’s not one of those chiropractors looking to make money off you by scheduling unnecessary appointments, he just wants what’s in your best interest.
Not only does he adjust you, he will go over exercises to keep your bones in place and explains the science behind it all. I’m really lucky to have found him!

What an excellent chiropractor. He speaks to you without speaking down to you. He also does what’s in YOUR best interest. Very nice and polite, too. He’s new to Chicago so if you’re needing a new chiropractor — he’s the one you need to see!

I’ve been a patient of Peter’s for over eight years now and couldn’t be happier! Instead of waiting for my body to get cricked and busted, I just have a monthly appointment and find that I always need it.
Peter is professional, personable, knowledgeable, and caring. He’s got great insight to how your daily routines/​activities may be causing the problems in your body. For instance, I started snoring about a year ago, much to my dismay. In passing, I told Peter and he suggested an easy adjustment to my pillow and voila, no more snore! Hubby is thrilled :)

My visit to Dr. McManus was my first visit to a chiropractor. Dr. McManus was very good about explaining all about my injury and the manipulations that he was going to perform. After just one visit, combined with my routine of physical therapy, I was feeling much better. I would recommend Dr. McManus. Also, his office is very convenient, right in Copley Sqaure. One caveat, though: he does not accept credit cards so bring cash for your co-​pay.

Awesome guy, fixed my back and gave great advice. Highly recommended.

If you need a good chiropractor in Boston, this is the guy you want to see. He does not typically see patients on Mondays (though he squeezed me in once in the morning when I had a pinched nerve that kept me from walking straight), but he does offer evening appointments at least one day per week. He typically can take me within a day or two of me calling (sometimes even same day if I call in the morning or if there’s a cancellation). His German Shephard, Bear, will typically be there to greet you. If you’re allergic or don’t like dogs, however, he has a separate room which is dog and incense free.
Compared to my other chiropractor in the suburbs, Dr. McManus offers a very unique approach to chiropractic care. He is friendly, intelligent, and diligent in his care. He only sees one patient at a time, spending at least 20 minutes with you on a typical visit, more if needed. Instead of trying to push you to buy a whole bunch of vitamins, orthodics, or other unnecessary products, Dr. McManus offers sound advice and treatment. I can’t recommend him enough for his sound, logical explanations, excellent advice on how to prevent future injuries, and amazing treatment.
