Aligned Modern Health

I really appreciate the staff at Aligned Lincoln Park. I had plantar fasciatis and sprained ankles during half marathon training last summer, and Dr. Raqaq and the PT staff there not only helped me recover and grow stronger, but also taught me how to prevent future injury and better listen to my body in the future.
I’ve needed to adopt new disciplines around how I exercise to prevent future injury, and the Aligned staff have taught me more about exercise and self-​care than other PTs I’ve visited.
Their staff is warm and friendly, and the space is very clean and welcoming. I go back every month or two for maintenance visits, which I’ve found very helpful.

Excellent place, the staff is very professional and delightful, the place is very clean and up to date, my chiropractor Dr. Roc has been great I’ve been suffering severe back pain for the last three months I thought I was my bed so I bought a new one which didn’t solve the problem, after two visits he adjusted my back and stretch it my back pain is gone, he did a great job and I recommend him to all my friends.

I was a gymnast for 10+ years and it definitely did some damage to my body. I have had back pain for years, have been to two different chiropractors before coming to Aligned and for the first time since I can remember I am practically pain-​free which I did not think was even possible. Dr. Alebiosu and his staff are so helpful and kind and I always leave feeling great. With a convenient location, awesome staff and amazing results I could not ask for anything more.

I was referred to Aligned by a friend. My only regret is not having come sooner! It is also brightly lit and inviting. It is conveniently located on Diversey. The staff, especially Angie and Dr. Alebiosu whom I’ve encountered mainly, are so friendly and welcoming. My consultation was super informative. I had been suffering from tension in the neck and upper back due to sitting at work all day. Luckily, Dr. Alebiosu was able to diagnose the issue and prescribe chiropractic treatment. I have since felt more relaxed and less tense in those areas. It has even improved my sleeping. The practice is so caring and holistic. I recently attended an exercise class at Aligned with Tori that was wonderful. I’m excited to start massages there soon. Bottom line is you can tell the staff care and want you to feel your best. They offer a variety of services and prescribe what is right for you. Plus, they take insurance. Lastly, they send email alerts and are flexible to your schedule. I highly recommend Aligned!

Very impressed– the staff is professional, knowledgeable, caring. The facility is clean, modern, and has a comfortable atmosphere. I would highly recommend this location. The chiropractor, PT, and massage therapist exceeded my expectations in terms of care/​therapy provided. My back pain has greatly decreased!

As a pedestrian I was hit by a car 5 years ago went to several doctors, years of physical therapy and did not want to have any further surgeries. I was also on narcotic pain relievers and was terrified of addiction. After seeing Dr Alebioso aka Dr Rock I was pain free for 4 days and was no longer using a walker. After seeing him yesterday I was able to go to Wal-​Mart, pick up and play with my two year old granddaughter and wake up today WITHOUT Pain. I was a sceptic about chiropractic treatment but I am now a believer.

I’ve been going here for several weeks, and I always leave this place happy. The staff is excellent and super friendly, the place is very aesthetically pleasing, and my insurance covers more than I was expecting. I will definitely be checking out their free yoga class as well!

SO impressed by this place. I came in here recently because I had not seen a chiropractor in quite some time and needed a bit of back relief. I made an appt with Dr. Kasten and she was just phenomenal! On my first visit, she spent lots of time with me, assessing what my body could and could not do. She determined that my hips were just a bit out of alignment and that we needed to work on my posture. She put me on a massaging bed that loosens me up before the adjustment. She adjusted me thoroughly and then had me meet with the physical therapist John, who took me through some stretches and exercises for my back, arms and legs. He showed me some cool foam rolling techniques and asked me where I was having pain so we could avoid those areas. He is very skilled and friendly too!
I come in once a week now to get adjusted by Dr. Kasten and get some quick workouts done with John. They have such an awesome staff here! This place is clean and looks brand new. They also offer massages, accupunture and have a nutritionist on staff. I also love the location of this place. It’s right off Diversey and Broadway, just blocks away from my apartment. They also have a great referral program too! They can be a bit busy in the evenings, so making a daytime or Saturday appt would be your best bet. I’m so glad I found such a great place so close to home! I’m so much more relaxed because my body feels great now. Thanks Dr. Kasten! :)

This place is great. I’ve been going to the chiropractor for around 15 years. Not for any major injuries, just to stay aligned. They simply know what they are doing here. Dr. Kasten is excellent. Very friendly staff. All around a quality place.

I was in a car accident in August and about a week after the accident and horrible pain in my neck and back, I went to seek some help. I couldn’t be more thankful to all the help everyone at this location has given me to help get through the pain and recovery process after this rear end accident which resulted in a horrible whiplash and throbbing lower back pain. Aligned Modern Health has developed comprehensive treatments and care that is solely focused on getting the patient better and they have really helped me bounce back from this accident.
I was impressed and happy about the improvement I continued to make over my numerous visits and although I am not completely back to feeling 100% and still have some pain occasionally, I know I can always go there and that they will all be there to help me.
Dr. Maggie Kasten is an amazing doctor who is extremely knowledgable about chiropractic care. She is totally approachable, will listen to what you have to say and answer any questions you have. She truly does care about her patients and it shows in the time she takes to check in on the process and evaluate the progress that has been made. I found her to be so honest, straightforward and she even was so nice to lend me her own personal electronic therapy device to get through the first couple weeks of pain after the accident, which was super helpful on nights that I was in excruciating pain at home it really helped to calm my muscles.
The rest of the employees there help to make your visit an easy process all around from the clinic manager Meredith, the massage therapists, the trainers (Phil & Amanda) and even the finance manager Micha I had to work with for the insurance claims who made going there an easy process and was so helpful in answering questions and helping with my claim.
I always was excited to go there because I knew I would be feeling so much better after my visits. To go through a horrible and painful accident is not easy but the care, kindness and support I received from everyone there just made it so much easier and more bearable. I couldn’t be more thankful to them and the help that they gave me. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is in pain and is looking to get better because that has always been the focus for them.

I cannot tell you what a relief it was to find this place. I originally wanted to find a place close to work (Loop) so I went to ChiroOne on LaSalle St. AWFUL. Worse experience ever (see review). Needless to say I was a little «gun shy» but knew I needed to go again from the constant neck pain. Maggie is so sweet and knowledgeable. The entire staff is awesome and fun to joke around with. They are very respectful of your time and want to make you feel better. I’ve never had to wait to be adjusted, assessed or start therapy. The staff so accommodating with schedules. The late evening hours are so convenient. One day I had to go get adjusted, leave for a couple conference calls and then go back for therapy. I’m going to be sad if I ever move to the ‘burbs’ and have to find a new office.

I am beyond amazed at the benefits I have reaped (physically) from going to Aligned and seeing Dr. Kasten. I have been seriously ill for the past 4 months, seeing multiple doctors and having multiple procedures/​tests at the hospital. While they failed to do more than prescribe me Valium for the symptoms I finally found relief by having my first chiropractor appointment at Aligned two days ago.
Dr. Kasten took her time listening to all of the testing I have been through and adjusting her approach based on my diagnosis of an inner ear issue. I have been so dizzy for four months that I sometimes vomit just from walking. I have missed the entire summer and had to work from home. I have spent thousands in medical bills and gotten nowhere with doctors from Northwestern. And then I randomly walked into Aligned on Diversey yesterday and got an appointment right away.
My vertigo decreased by at least 60% after just one appointment. I went from vomiting at least every 3 hours for 3 days straight to only feeling sick first thing in the morning. I went back tonight and feel even better. Dr. Kasten also took me through my x-​rays which explain all of my symptoms… and even better, provide a plan to fix the route cause of the issues! I am simply astounded at how quickly I felt such immense relief from the dizziness and nausea.
What’s equally amazing is the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Despite knowing that I am moving across the country in 1 week they dove right in and took on the issue. They even actively researched their colleagues in the Bay Area so that I can continue in trusted care upon my move.
In my mother’s words, it’s nothing short of a miracle. In my (perhaps more practical) words, I am dumb-​founded and amazed by the instant relief I am experiencing after four long months of continued illness. I would highly recommend anyone with vertigo/​dizziness/​nausea to visit Aligned on Diversey. They also have a great space!

Excellent practice. Office is clean and welcoming. I met with Dr. Hehmeyer (sp?) for nutritional evaluation, and finally think we discovered the reasons for some ailments that many specialists have not been able to figure out. She always responds to email in a reasonable amount if time. They have several clinics in many Chicago areas. Highly recommend!

I am so happy to have found Aligned Modern Health. Dr. Kasten, Phil, Mark, and Meredith are all amazing. Great customer service and great at making me (my back and hips) feel better.
I especially love the comprehensive treatment they offer. Not only do I get an adjustment with Dr. Kasten, but I also learn some stretches and exercises with Phil that are intended to help improve my condition, not just treat the symptoms. And, I can also get a massage with Mark when I feel extra stressed or just want to give my muscles some extra attention.
I have not tried the acupuncturist or nutritionist YET, but they are there in case I ever want to try them out as well and I look forward to doing so in the near future.
Not only do I look forward to my weekly appointments because I feel great when I leave, but I also look forward to seeing Dr. Kasten and her team. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. I just love the atmosphere they create with their own personal energies.
I highly, highly recommend Dr. Kasten and everyone else at Aligned Modern Health on Diversey. I can’t see myself going anywhere else for my chiropractic needs.

Well…
I guess I should start by saying that I wasn’t a true believer in any chiropractic care. I have a number of car accidents in my history and suffer from TMJ and a few other very painful accidents. I was most recently in another accident and was in need of something. Not being the type to take pain pills or try surgery, I found myself at Aligned Modern Health. I Emailed them at 1:30am after being on a plane for 10hrs. I asked to be seen ASAP. I figured I would hear back and get an apt in the next few days, not the case. I was phoned immediately the following morning by Meredith who was more than helpful and understood the pain I must be in. I had an appt within two hours!!!
Dr. Maggie Kasten saw me and helped to evaluate the best treatment. Images were taken of my spine and I could see for myself what was wrong. Dr. Kasten was able to explain any questions I had and made me feel at ease that something could be done to help. The entire team is amazing and made me feel comfortable.
Then there’s the fact that I am about the worst patient you could ask for. I call in at the last moment canceling or show up at the wrong times on the wrong day. There has not been a single time that they didn’t try to work with me to get me an appt or reschedule.
Thanks Aligned, you made me a believer!!!

Where to begin with Aligned Modern Health?! When I was in need of chiropractic care I was expecting (at least hoping) to start feeling better, but I never expected to find an office that functions as a family and treats their patients the same way. Let’s talk about this stellar group of people because it truly is what makes this place extraordinary.
Before I even stepped foot in the door I was welcomed and immediately felt taken care of when scheduling my appointment with the always smiling Meredith. She was so helpful in clarifying insurance and wonderful with scheduling both via telephone and email. Dr. Kasten was delightful from the very start. She was very knowledgeable in explaining and demonstrating the issues I was having, not to mention her adjustments make a world of difference! Bonus, I’m always proud to support a fellow UW Badger! In addition to that each session includes physical therapy exercises with the one and only Phil. With an ever-​evolving selection of music following along with the somewhat awkward exercises is never boring. I leave feeling so much better
I’ve also taken advantage of the great acupuncture and massage sessions available. Kate, my acupuncturist, is a joy to work with. She listened to my needs and answered any questions that arose. Never have I felt more relaxed. Mark, my massage therapist, knew exactly where and how to work out the knots in my neck and shoulders. Both have been excellent additions to my plan of care.
If you’re in need of any of the above services check Aligned Modern Health out as you will not be disappointed. Be on the look out they also offer special workshops and other fun events. I truly look forward to going every week and would highly recommend ALL services here.

I have to say they really care about their clients. They truly helped my husband after he pulled his back. He couldn’t even walk before we went in and that very night, after being seen in the morning, he was already greatly improved. 3 days later he’s 100% and says whenever he leaves he feels so energized and feels like he walks better! Thanks so much for helping us out!

Aligned Modern Health Diversey… how do I even begin to express my love of thee?! Let me do my best with this review. From the moment I first walked through your doors, I felt surrounded by support and encouragement that you don’t find many other places. The casual yet professional atmosphere makes it feel as though you’re among friends (who just happen to be awesome healthcare professionals) from start to finish. I truly look forward to my appointments and interacting with each and every staff member.
Meredith greets you with a smile and is the BOMB at clarifying insurance benefits and out of pocket cost of services… I cannot stress this last part enough, as nobody likes insurance surprises. She takes the time to make sure that you know EXACTLY what to expect in terms of coverage. And then there’s my fellow UW-​Madison alumna (GO BADGERS)
Dr. Kasten. She is amazingly thorough in her chiropractic examination and explains her adjustments step-​by-​step. I can honestly say that her adjustments are some of the most thorough I’ve ever experienced… I consistently leave feeling taller with more movement. Plus, she is super friendly and always takes the time to actually get to know you… I’ve never felt rushed through an appointment. Some clinics have the «crack and go» approach… which may work for week to week fixes, but doesn’t always solve problems long-​term. What I LOVE about AMH Diversey is that they not only help you in the moment… they also set up a plan to help support you (spinal pun intended) long term.
I not only have the experience of a stellar adjustment at each appointment, I am also led through a series of rehabilitation exercises that can help my muscular/​skeletal health long term. Some might say «ew, rehabilitation exercises… that doesn’t sound fun at all.» Well here’s the kicker… you are led through every exercise by Phil. Which means its basically the most entertaining experience ever. If you haven’t met Phil yet… you must. He’s the highlight of my visit every time. Strengthening and stretching is WAY more enjoyable when you can have wonderfully easy, comfortable and HILARIOUS small talk with Phil along the way.
Honestly, I cannot tell you enough how much I enjoy my entire experience at AMH Diversey. Thank you, AMH Diversey for being so freaking awesome. I look forward to seeing you soon!

I’ve been going to the new Aligned Modern Health location on Diversey for chiropractic and nutritional care since December of last year, and quite frankly, I am totally sold on their model.
The first thing to know is that they are open either in the morning or in the afternoon on alternating days. So Tuesday afternoon is 1−8pm, but Wednesday is morning from 7−1pm. It’s a bit confusing in the beginning, but since you probably won’t need to come in everyday for something, it kinda works out. Second thing is the staff. Seriously, they are the nicest folks I’ve ever met in any kind of medical setting, and I’m pretty sure they’re the nicest folks I’ve met outside of a medical setting too. I’ve never had chiropractic work done, and they were very good about explain how much my insurance would cover and going through all the steps of the process. Considering that someone will literally be cracking your bones, it’s good to know what’s coming up and what to expect. Don’t be afraid to talk to the clinic manager Meredith, or the physical therapists Mark and Phil, they are a treat (and sometimes they give you chocolate).
Next up is Dr. Kasten, the chiropractor. Don’t be fooled by her size, she knows how to throw her weight around to get that satisfying pop from your lower back. Like any newbie to the process, I was intimidated by all of the x-​rays and fancy gadgets, but she’s a very calming presence and always took the time to make sure I understood everything. And when it came time to actual crack my bones (the scariest part by far), she again went through everything with me to make sure knew that it wasn’t going to hurt. Now, dare I say it, I actually look forward to my adjustments! Nothing better than popping your back and being able to stand up a little straighter.
Finally, I also see Dr. Hehmeyer, the functional nutritionist. This one is a bit harder to suss out because I went to her right before the Christmas holidays, and of course I ignored every piece of good advice in favor of chocolate cake and sweet potato pie. BUT! She gets you started on the right path by looking at your average meals and helping you with food choices, portion control, and possible food allergies. Just know, there might be blood tests involved to check for vitamin levels and food allergies, so bring your big-​kid pants if you’re afraid of needles (like me)! I’ve already lost a couple of pounds, and I’ll report back after I’ve had some time under my belt.
They also offer yoga and Pilates classes, which I haven’t (yet) done because I’m a lazy person. And there’s acupuncture, which I also haven’t done because of my aforementioned fear of needles, but if you are a braver soul than I, go for it. This is a pretty comprehensive clinic smack dab in the middle of a great location at the corners of Diversey, Clark, and Broadway. And let’s be honest, when you finish with your massage and back-​cracking exercise, you’re totally going to Chipotle, don’t even lie.

I visited Aligned this morning and loved the experience. The staff is so friendly and my massage and adjustment felt amazing. That was actually my first ever visit to a chiropractor, and I would definitely recommend Dr. Kasten — she explained everything she would be doing and made everything very comfortable.
