Palatine location and appointment details

Planning your appointment from Melrose Park

Travel from Melrose Park deserves some advance planning: Palatine is about 17.4 straight-line miles away. Confirm the office and appointment time before leaving, and allow additional travel time beyond the approximately 30-minute initial visit. Ask about follow-up scheduling before committing to a course of care.

Northfield's community reference point is closer to Melrose Park than Palatine's. Compare the Northfield Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule with Palatine's broader weekly availability. The closest community is not necessarily the quickest route from your home.

What SoftWave therapy means at our clinic

Our clinic uses the OrthoGold 100 from SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technologies. SoftWave is the device brand used here; shockwave therapy is the broader treatment category. Read our SoftWave technology guide and shockwave therapy overview for the procedure, regulatory information and limitations.

Your evaluation comes before a treatment recommendation. A search for therapy near Melrose Park cannot establish the cause of pain or whether this approach fits your situation. Discuss your diagnosis, previous treatment and goals with the provider. Outcomes vary, and treatment is not appropriate for every patient.

Explore your concern before traveling

Use these guides to prepare questions for your evaluation. They explain the evidence and limitations for specific concerns rather than promising the same result for everyone:

Review the research library for sources and distinctions between SoftWave-specific studies and broader shockwave research. For other concerns, use the condition directory or ask the clinic before scheduling.

First-visit cost and preparation

New Patient Exam + First Treatment — $99. First treatment provided when clinically appropriate following your examination. The visit remains $99 if treatment is not appropriate. This price covers the introductory visit, not an entire treatment course. This is a cash-pay service; insurance is not billed. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.

Allow approximately 30 minutes at the clinic, in addition to travel from Melrose Park. Bring relevant prior reports, a medication list and a description of what makes your symptoms better or worse. Ask what follow-up visits would involve, what they would cost and how progress would be assessed before deciding on further care. See what to expect and the full offer details.

Who provides care?

Meet Dr. Mark LeVee, DC, our chiropractor | lead clinical provider. He is also a Regional Instructor and Distributor Partner with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technologies. That professional relationship is disclosed in our technology guide so you can consider it alongside independent evidence.

Questions from patients planning a visit from Melrose Park

Can I receive treatment in Melrose Park?

Our physical offices are in Palatine and Northfield. This is a visit-planning guide for Melrose Park residents, not a listing for a local branch. Select your preferred office when scheduling an appointment.

Should I choose the closest clinic?

Compare the route from your actual starting point with both offices' hours. The community distances above help you start that comparison; they cannot predict traffic or appointment availability. Call the office you are considering if you need help choosing a time.

Will I need to travel for several visits?

The provider will discuss any recommended follow-up after evaluating you. Ask about the expected schedule and total cost before committing. The introductory offer does not establish a treatment plan or guarantee a result.
