“Dr. Reaves has been my chiropractor for over 6 years. She and her team are outstanding. Highly recommend.”
Russell L.Less than 3 months ago
“My experience at Reaves Chiropractic has been amazing from the jump. Dr. Reaves was prepared for me and my appointment and I didn’t have any wait time. She was so thorough and spent a long time evaluating me, explaining the what and why behind her intended plan of action, and is coming up a plan for me to do work (stretching and otherwise) outside of our appointments to further helping my body alignment. She was really perceptive to how my lifestyle (work and athletic endeavors) and prior injuries contribute to my alignment issues currently, and is invested in helping me resolve them. I was truly blown away by my first appointment and am DEFINITELY coming back and have already recommended her to family and friends”

I’ve been to Dr. Reaves for 2 issues, and she’s quickly identified the issue & found solutions. I’ve had one visit with her this time around & I already feel better!
June 28, 2024Alexis T.Verified patient
Everything was perfect! Great doctor. She was ready promptly when I got there. She took her time with me. Listened to my comments and talked about how to address them. No problems with staff. Sign-up was electronic and no redundant papers once I got there.

Absolutely amazing healing experience
April 20, 2023Jonathan C.Verified patient
I usually don’t give any comments or reviews but I had a very bad experience. I went there for healing but came back with headache.
Not recommending anyone and not thinking to do business with them again.
Also it was very difficult to find the location.

Wow! This really was the best doctor I’ve ever seen. I felt heard and all my needs were addressed. I received helpful advice with clear instructions and even got to practice lifting heavy objects. I look forward to going back and feel as though I’m in good hands. I’ve never been to a chiropractor but everything was clear and comfortable and I had no reason to be nervous. Would recommend highly to anyone seeking care! Thanks Dr.Reaves and staff!

Joanna is amazing at what she does. Her office is not convenient from my place but it’s worth the trip to see her. I’ve tried other chiropractors since moving to Chicago and I kept getting disappointed. If you want a strong chiropractor who knows what they are doing please do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Joanna Reaves
June 3, 2022Matthew S.Verified patient
Dr. Joanna is personable, knowledgeable, and took time to really listen to my story in order to understand my needs and develop a plan for better health. I walked away from my first appointment feeling cared for, and feeling confident that I will find long-term relief from neck pain through continued visits and implementing practical tools in between.
December 1, 2021Robin B.Verified patient
Kind person, very expensive rates with or without insurance. Only focuses on one issue per visit, certainly not what I was expecting from my experience with other chiropractors in the past.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Reaves for many years for both a neck and hip issue. She is extremely proactive, providing at home exercises to increase strength & mobility. She is the best!
October 30, 2021Kelly C.Verified patient
I am new to Chicago and was searching for an experienced chiropractor. I tried a few other since moving but I was not satisfied. My friends told me to try Joanna and I am so glad I did. She adjusted me just like I like. A good strong adjustment. She’s not the closest to where I live but she is worth the trip. I feel she goes above and beyond and gives me homework of stretches I can do.
October 26, 2021Matthew S.Verified patient
I really appreciated Dr. Reaves’ person-centered, wholistic approach. She was super warm and easy to talk to transparently about my all-around health, including but not limited to my physical health/spine alignment/chiropractic needs. She gave me insight on habits I could practice immediately while also focusing on a longer term plan. I am excited to continue working with Dr. Reaves.
July 31, 2021Emily M.Verified patient
Dr. Reaves is an amazing Doctor. I'm a life long athlete and martial artist and her care has helped me so grateful in recovery and getting back to normal.
June 28, 2021Mike W.Verified patient
Dr. Reaves is incredible. She listened without judgement and gave me the absolute best care. I walked in with a sore lower back and walked out feeling completely refreshed!! I would recommend her to everyone. You won't be disappointed.
March 18, 2021Amy M.Verified patient
Dr Reaves was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and punctual with her treatment. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a chiropractor in the River North/Loop area - especially those looking for help with lower back pain.
More than 1 year agoJulia M.Verified patient
This was one of the best experiences I've had a with a doctor in a long time. Dr. Reaves was extremely informative and explained everything thoroughly to help kick start my journey to feeling better.
More than 1 year agoCourtney H.Verified patient
Her personality takes some getting used to but she is very knowledgeable. Completely helped with my neck and back pain and I do recommend her however she rarely starts appointments on time and you often here her chatting to other patients while you wait for your appt to start

Educational, leaned more about myself, small tips and tricks to keep myself healthy and what I can do to fix things from the inside out.

She is awesome extremely nice and really good at her profession. I could barely walk when I got there now I’m in much better shape. The woman sitting at the front desk was extremely nice too. Would recommend to anyone who asked me. Great experience.
April 11, 2018Kevin C.Verified patient
She is very informative in explaining the procedure and diagnosis, as most doctors talk in medical terms. She is also very professional and very friendly.
June 7, 2017Lylah M.Verified patient
Dr. Reave's treatments always make me feel great - even if I'm going in just for maintenance. When I do have a particular problem, she's always able to adjust it and I leave pain free.
May 26, 2017Susan Y.Verified patient
Such a pleasant experience today. She was ready within 5 minutes to meet, took me through all the details of our treatment plan, and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable. I would 100% recommend to friends and family.
May 9, 2017Mallory W.Verified patient
Dr. Reaves always takes the time to talk with me about what brought me in for a visit. She does a great job at going above and beyond to let me know what treatment she recommends and why as well as what I can do in between appointments.
March 18, 2017Meghan W.Verified patient
Dr Reaves was very thorough and knowledgeable concerning my needs and what would help my pain. I was seen immediately. The office was nice, clean and very relaxing. All the equipment was new and the staff was very friendly.
January 24, 2017Colleen S.Verified patient
Dr. Reaves was very attentive and knowledgeable. She took time to ask me questions and put me in different positions to better determine the source of my pain. She then clearly explained to me what the problem was and the plan of action as to treatment and healing. By the next day my pain had subsided. I would definitely recommend Dr. Reaves.
November 23, 2016Susan S.Verified patient
Visit was fine and professional. My only complaint would be having to fill out more forms and re-answer questions already provided by ZocDoc checkin.
October 11, 2016Chase W.Verified patient
Joanna was amazing. Really personable and was able to give me a very immediate assessment after we went through my range of motion activities. She adjusted me and did some muscle work and I feel a million times better even after one session. I would highly recommend her practice!
March 2, 2016Casey S.Verified patient
Instant pain relief! I've been to a few doctors for my back pain, but none were able to provide the answers that Dr. Reaves explained. She made the entire consultation relaxing and even started treatment in the first visit. I walked away with less pain and am excited to continue treatment. Great experience, glad to see an end of my pain in sight!
July 8, 2015Chris K.Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Reaves! I've been back 3 times, and can feel the difference. She informed me of what's going on and stretches and techniques I can take home.
More than 1 year agoChris K.Verified patient

I've had an amazing experience with Dr. Reaves. She's caring, knowledgeable and passionate about healing her patients. She goes beyond just adjusting and incorporates nutrition along with an array of different treatment modalities (acupuncture, ultrasound, etc.).
