Dr. Carl Nottoli and the team at Bannockburn Chiropractic have proved invaluable for both my sports performance and business. I spend more than 20 hours a week training at high intensities. Carl’s Active Release Techniques have kept me injury free while allowing me to continuously make gains. Chronic, annoying injuries are a thing of the past. This has allowed me to steadily increase loads and recover faster than ever before. Not only have I benefited greatly from Carl’s weekly treatments but so have my clients. As an owner and coach of a CrossFit Affiliate it’s paramount that my members remain healthy and injury free. Injuries are going to happen from time to time – Carl’s treatment reduces that time. Thank you Carl and everyone at Bannockburn Chiro for providing excellent healthcare, successful treatments and improving my overall quality of life – both personally and professionally.

“Dr. Yoss, I am writing you to thank you for influencing me over the past few years. When I started seeing you as a patient, I was in such pain with my shoulder and back. It was really affecting my performance on the softball diamond and I was not really sure that I would be able to continue playing in college. After you successfully treated my Mom, she convinced me to go see you. I was very skeptical about chiropractic because when I was young, I had an awful experience with a chiropractor. My Mom talked so highly of you and I was so desperate that I finally made the decision to go see you.

Not more than 5 minutes into my first appointment with you, you asked me, “Do all of your hits go to right field?” I said yes and then you responded with, “As I continue to treat you, you will see your hits start to move across the field and go where they should.” I was truly amazed at how you could tell that with just having me do a few movements. Well, you definitely did not lie. It was only after a few appointments, that I saw a huge improvement in my hitting and even throwing. I was no longer considered an “opposite field” hitter and could finally hit to all fields.

I went onto an amazing college softball career. I currently am the record holder at DePauw for homeruns, triples, doubles, and RBIs. Ironically, I was never considered much of an offensive threat until I got to college. I really give that credit to your treatment during high school and through college. This is what has inspired me most to pursue chiropractic. Not only did you get rid of my pain, but these injuries were holding me back from taking my athletic abilities to a higher level. I went from an average softball player to the biggest offensive threat on my team throughout college all because of chiropractic treatment.”

 Having a severe case of Achilles Tendonitis in 2009, Dr. Yoss was able to get me back to running within two sessions. To say the least, I was literally shocked at how effective his treatment plan was in such a short period. In 2011, I had a very similar case of Plantar Fasciitis. After several months in pain, I decided to travel to Chicago and see Dr. Yoss who was one again able to give me relief to start training again. Dr. Yoss separates himself from his peers by not only treating the pain but finding out the source of the pain. In my opinion, Dr. Yoss is the finest sports injury practitioner I have ever seen.

Shannon D., Chemist, CrossFit Competitor

As an athlete, I am constantly pushing my body to its limits and with that comes a greater risk for injuries.  I had severe forearm pain for several months; every doctor that I saw told me rest was the only thing that would help.  After three months of rest I completed a workout and my arm instantly flared up again.  Shortly after this I was introduced to Dr. Carl Nottoli, and he was able to recognize the problem in my arm and started treating it immediately.  Within a couple of visits the pain had substantially subsided, and my range of motion significantly increased.  Dr. Nottoli's treatment allowed me to compete in CrossFit Regionals after I had injured by back two weeks prior to the competition.  Initially, I could not flex my spine, but by the time of the competition, I was able to lift more than my body weight off of the floor.  I could not have done that without his treatment and guidance!

Tyler G., High School Hockey Player

 “My Mom has been a believer of Chiropractic for our family. We’ve been patients of Dr. Yoss’ for three years and mostly came to see him for maintenance. As I began to play hockey more intensely, Dr. Yoss’ style of treatment has kept me healthy and strong, both of which help in injury prevention. I always feel loose, my posture is better and I have less tension in my back. As a result I am a better hockey player.”
