Acupuncture Lincoln Park

I have been going to Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center for a few years now, and I am always super pleased with the results, the professionalism in the office, and the availability to fit it into my crazy busy schedule. From ankle pain to stress relief and relaxation, Dr. Backhaus knows his stuff and does it well.

I was researching for a comprehensive approach to health and wellness and went in for a consultation based on the reviews. My right shoulder has been feeling awful for years due to bad posture and 50-60+ hours per week in front of a computer. After 9 weeks with Dr. Ezgur (chiropractic adjustment and acupuncture), my shoulder pain is gone and I also learned practical exercises and stretches to make work-from-home more manageable. He uses the smallest needles for acupuncture and he addresses stress points immediately and effectively. It’s also important to note that Dr. Ezgur’s staff is responsive, organized, and friendly. I highly recommend!

I've received a combination of chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy and homeopathy from Progressive Chiropractic. These therapies have helped me manage back pain and detox from heavy metals. I've seen all three doctors, and I am grateful for continued care in my detox process and for relief from back pain that I've had for more than ten years. The doctors are genuinely compassionate and knowledgeable, taking a comprehensive approach to wellness. Chiropractic care will continue to be a part of my self care regimen!

I first started going to Dr. Ezgur over five years ago for a knee issue (IT band). I was skeptical, as I had never sought 'alternative' treatment for anything before. After a week or so, I was pain-free, due to the acupuncture, laser point therapy, exercises I learned there and most of all - Dr. Ezgur's genuine compassion, understanding of the body and the knowledge/professionalism of not only Dr. Ezgur, but his entire staff.

In February, I woke up one day with a tingling down my arm, going to my thumb and pointer finger. I figured I slept on it wrong, and waited for it to go away. For several weeks, I had massages, worked out, and had a chiropractic adjustment - nothing helped. I went to see a Neurologist and he recommended surgery, as an MRI showed I had two slipped discs in my spine - in the neck! AH!!! I asked about physical therapy, and he gave me orders for PT. When he handed me the script for PT, he said "you can try it, but I don't think it's going to work. Call me in a few months to schedule the surgery." I went to Dr. Richard Ezgur based on Yelp reviews, and the fact that he was within walking distance of my home in Chicago. His approach was homeopathic, doing adjustments, acupuncture, and DNS exercises. I also used lasers - all in an attempt to decrease the inflammation. I was doubtful, as I had never done homeopathy before, but I was the ideal patient, doing EVERYTHING he told me to do. I cannot believe I am here typing this, as the pain is GONE, there is NO MORE tingling in my arm and fingers, and I can go back to riding my bike and working out like I did before. He is AMAZING, professional, quick, efficient, and a likable person. I went to see him in late April, and by the end of July I couldn't believe my progress. Just do it ALL, even if it doesn't feel like it's doing anything - because it is. I Highly Recommend him. It WORKS.
