Russeau Team HealthCare

I went to Dr. Russeau for back pain. From the first phone call and talking with the office staff to the exercise and massage therapists I was totally impressed. Every person I’ve spoken to or interacted with was completely professional, knowledgable, warm and friendly. Dr Russeau is awesome too. He is caring and helpful, very interested in getting my pain issues resolved in a fast amount of time. I would highly recommend Dr Russeau and his office for any chiropractic needs!

My doctor from DuPage Medical Group recommended Russeau Team HealthCare. I was a bit surprised that a medical doctor was so enthusiastic about a chiropractor, but she explained the success Dr. Russeau was having with some of her patients and was quite complimentary of his methods.
I have been having hip/​low back issues (stenosis, etc.) for several years. Been to two physical therapy practices, had two epidural injections, numerous hip injections, and a lot of pain medication during this time. I was hopeful, but reserved. I have no issues going to a chiropractor and have gone to several in the past with varying results. However, my pain management specialist requested that I NOT go to a chiropractor, so I didn’t.
Dr. Russeau assessed me verbally and physically. Nothing too intense. He had me try certain movements and give him feedback all the while. He did not adjust me on that first visit, but had me work with Jen, the physical therapist. Jen had me perform various mini-exersices…nothing overly strenuous. She also assessed my pain and range of movement. With Dr. Russeau, she put together a plan for treatment. I left the office feeling pretty good. I was sore the next day, but dutifully completed the exercises the team had put together for me over the next couple days.
Incredibly, I felt relief! I was nervous that it was all in my head, but it was becoming clear that the pain has diminished for real and my mobility was increasing. The only problem I had now was a very painful spot on my back by my ribs. For months, I had lived with this sharp pain. I tried massaging it, heat, cold, etc. Nothing seemed to take the edge off. Of course, I went right to thinking I had lung cancer or a huge kidney stone! LOL On my next visit, I mentioned it to Dr. Russeau. He was not too concerned, saying that he would fix it. He explained that moving differently sometimes exacerbated other issues and not to worry about it. He believed that it was a rib — where it connects to the spine, so he did a quick adjustment. I almost cried in relief! It felt better IMMEDIATELY. What a difference!
I’ve visited the office twice. His goal is to fix what ails you in six visits or less. He made it clear that this was not a lifetime commitment! LOL If he can’t help you in six visits, he will reassess and decide upon a different course of action.
This practice is amazing. I will tell everyone I know about it. I FINALLY got some relief after years of suffering and believing that I had to live in pain. I don’t!
Highly recommended!

within 20 minutes I felt better than I ever had in 10 years. He is constantly learning new techniques. He truly is out to help people get better.

This place is pretty amazing. The experience I had was almost too good to be true. I’ve had lower back pain for over five years — stiffness and aching all the time — and have tried a variety of pain relieving techniques to no avail. I walked in here two days ago and saw Dr. Russeau for about 20 minutes. He gave me a few exercises to do and within an hour my back pain was gone. As I continued with these exercises the pain remained gone and when I went back yesterday he told me we were done. He even gave me a recommendation for someone back in New York (where I live) in case anything returns or I want to check up on it.
Of course I can’t promise the same occurrence to anyone else but what I can promise is a Doctor who is kind, friendly, hyper-​knowledgeable, and very open to trying all that can be tried before something like surgery has to happen. And who knows! You might walk out as I did, rid of years of pain and discomfort with two appointments in two days.

I had a great experience at Dr. Russeau’s office. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I was a little skeptical at my first visit. I had been diagnosed with a herniated disc about 9 months before my first visit. I had received physical therapy from 2 different facilities prior to Dr. Russeau (a total of 5 months of PT) and it had been completely unsuccessful. In fact, it had made my problem much worse.
However, Dr. Russeau told me that he was confident that my problems would be solved in 6 appointments. And without any manual adjustments. This eased my mind because I was nervous about having my back cracked.
Over the next few weeks, I received a massage every time I went and intensive PT. The PT was phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about Tom and Lisa. Tom immediately identified postural problems and taught me ways to improve those. After that, he identified which areas of my body were weak/​tight and gave me exercises and stretches to fix those problems.
I now am virtually pain-​free and I am so much more optimistic about prognosis. I still do the exercises that they gave me, but they are far from time-​consuming and they really help my back feel great. I have 4 strengthening exercises that I do, I use a foam roller for ~10 mins every day, and I have 3 stretches. That’s it! It takes about 30 mins a day to keep my back feeling great. Occasionally my back still bothers me, but I generally just spend a little bit more time stretching or doing the exercises and it feels better the next day.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was fairly sore (not a good sore, a painful sore) after every massage. I didn’t enjoy the massage part at all. But it’s optional luckily.

Started my first visit two weeks ago. I have to say I love this place. From the receptionist, exercise tech, massage therapist, and especially the doctor. This place works miracles!

For my Back pain, I’ve been around the block with Doctors and Surgeons and even Physical Therapists… None have given me as good of results as Doc Russeau and his staff. Everyone in the office is personable and friendly right down to the Nice ladies at the front desk. Doc Knows what he’s talking about and I believe what he says. He’s a fraud investigator, so you know he’s not just out to give you treatments for the sake of extra cash. Never have I had as good an experience.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kevin Russeau and his staff to anyone who has having muscle or joint pain problems.
Russeau Team Health Care is not your traditional chiropractor. Take it from me – a skeptic who had never been to a chiropractor ever — but I had heard good things about them, so I thought I’d give them a try because of my back pain.
Don’t expect to go here and for someone to «crack your back» and then you’re good to go. Over my six visits there, the staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable, with Dr. Russeau clearly explaining his expectations at the beginning during his initial evaluation, checking my progress mid-​way, and then re-​evaluating me at the conclusion of my treatment.
I learned stretches, exercises and tools to change my bad habits that had led to my back pain. No expensive pills, no awkward cracking of joints, none of that. I even ended up buying a small rubber band and foam roller from them so I could continue my exercises at home ($ 3 for the rubber band, $ 25 for the foam roller).
I am now pain free and it feels great! I even got a thank you letter the day after my final appointment. The only thing I think they could improve on is that my trainer got switched twice, which was a surprise, but there was no drop in quality or job knowledge. Depending on your medical plan, my PPO covered everything with $ 30 co-​pays for each visit. I highly recommend you give Dr. Russeau and his team a try.
