Chicago Center for Myofascial Pain Relief Reviews

This was probably my worst experience with a licensed physician. Dr. Hartz didn't do a full workup on my sciatic pain, ignoring many aspects of the restrictions associated with the issue (like for the entire course of the injury). She then turned into a salesman, trying to sell me these shoe inserts when my issue obviously wouldn't be helped by this. She obviously didn't have my best interest in mind, and only cared about making money. I do not recommend Dr. Hartz to anyone.

I was in incapacitated with severe lower leg pain unable to stand, walk or even swim for any length of time. Medical examination ruled out spinal stenosis, sciatica, stress fracture and arthritis. I had PT, massage, manipulation and acupuncture yielding only partial momentary relief. An osteopath referred me to Mary B. After a thorough examination during my first treatment I felt my leg enlivened.Her focused specific trigger point therapy nailed the source of muscle compression and our work together began.Mary s expert knowledge and caring manner coupled with necessary home self care got me back walking hiking swimming. I continue to seek her for my own healing as well as refer friends and family confidently to her team.

I'm a long distance runner where I run anywhere from 15-20 miles a week. I developed foot pain in my left foot. I purchased insoles at the clinic that Mary Biancalana recommended. I cannot express my gratitude for Mary helping me get rid of my pain.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Space is clean, well lit and welcoming. Yoga and exercise classes are excelent.

After having recurring lower back and sciatica issues, my friend suggested this clinic. Dr. Hartz was extremely attentive in my initial visit and Mary Biancalana modeled self care treatment to use at home. I learned about muscle wellness and left the center feeling better. Who knew a simple exercise with a tennis ball would relieve most of the stress? Many thanks to the team at the Center!! I truly appreciate the treatment that the Center for Myofascial Pain Relief provided and would highly recommend to all. Do your muscles a favor and visit them, stat!

Definitely helps eliminate my MyoFascial body's tension. It's an amazing experience. Most do the self care.

I have sent patients to this place of healing, and they have all been given relief and compassionate care.

Mary at CCMPR was amazing. I had been through various treatments for my shoulder pain and never got relief until my sessions with Mary. She taught me so much about self treatment and even nutrition. I learned so much from her and was able to incorporate simple and effective ways in my daily life to feel better. I'm very grateful and would highly recommend Mary.

The team at CCMPR is friendly and professional. Mary has worked with me and countless others to relieve muscle pain for good. I recommend this business to everyone I know.

Be careful. The owner in a money grab has brought in a Dr Renee Hartz who is a borderline quack. She did ineffective and unnecessary treatments and then grossly overcharged me. The charges were almost (98%) rejected by insurance. Stuck me with a huge bill. When I complained they threaten to report me to a credit agency. Beware. Too bad I guess this used to be a reputable place.

Mary is incredible! She not only treats your pain, but teaches you self-care techniques you can do at home. Wonderful facility.

The Chicago center for myofascial pain relief is a must-see Center for anyone who has muscle pain, anyone who likes to exercise, from amateurs to professionals. These people definitely know what they're doing. They also have a large selection of retail items for purchase including Tiger Tail self care tools, Fitball USA myofascial release balls, shoe inserts, warm and cold packs, and books that explain fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndrome, and myofascial pain.

I have a connective tissue disorder, and Mary is helping with pain and mobility. I like that Dr Hartz is a part of the process. Since I can use my insurance, this help is affordable.

I've come here multiple times to treat different areas where I was experiencing pain. As a power lifter it's so important to keep my body mobile and pain free. This is my go to place of treatment, they always fix me right up.

Mary is a wonder! She is so knowledgeable and kind. She transformed my pain into something I could work through. Mary Cheered me on, educated me and empowered me. I live in Vancouver Canada but Mary would be my go to expert if I have a recurrence .

Mary and the team (the facility is also known as Chicago Trigger Point Center) are fantastic! I've gotten some relief from a years-old combination of diseases and injuries, more than from any other treatment modality. Mary is extremely knowledgable in her field, and I trust her enough that I brought my school-aged son to see her for his sports-specific pain issues. For anything biomechanical, inflammatory, or chronic pain-related, meet with Mary and see what her approach would be for you. You'll be impressed with her experience and insights.
