A New Concept in Chiropractic Care

A New Concept in Chiropractic Care

By Peggy Werner

When Jon Chesak woke up one day with a sharp pain shooting down his leg, he sought help from his chiropractor and got relief after just a few adjustments.

“That experience made a big difference in my life and changed my life. I was able to break the debilitating cycle of pain and am now able to do the things I enjoy, like exercising and living a healthy lifestyle,” he says.

The former restaurant manager i s now the new franchise owner of The Joint at Forest Plaza, next to Kohl’s, at 6139 E. State St. The business is one of 440 locations nationwide that does chiropractic work differently – and better, according to Chesak.

The Joint offers more affordable and more convenient adjustment appointments by not accepting insurance and passing those savings along to the customer. The Joint accepts walk-ins from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Chesak says when people are in pain they want immediate relief and don’t want to wait around for an appointment that doesn’t fit into their schedule because an office isn’t opened evenings or weekends.

“I’m passionate about The Joint’s business model because we are providing something people need and will help the quality of life for so many,” he says.

Current specials include a $29 new patient offer for a consultation, exam, and adjustment, as well as a “wellness package” of four visits per month for $59 – good at any location. New patients may call to schedule an appointment, but follow-up visits are walk-in only.

Regular chiropractic adjustments can help relieve neck and back pain as well as pain caused from arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, stress, sciatica, and other specific areas of the body like the knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, and elbow, he says, adding that routine visits can also help in early detection of other problems.

The Joint staff includes Clinic Owner and Director Dr. Dan Cammarano of Aurora and Illinois Board Certified Chiropractors Dr. John Staranko, and Dr. Kory Spear.
