Testimonials - DR. RICK BROWN
"The space is airy and light, bare wood floors, simple flower arrangements, an offering of tea in the waiting area. it inspires calm without being over done. Christie Jordan, the founder of the group, and an acupuncturist, is warm, open, and inspires a feeling of good will that is reflected in the practitioners she has assembled. she has a well regarded reputation as a practitioner addressing multiple concerns, from general well being to fertility issues. Rick Brown, who is only in this location on weds, and can be found other days in Evanston at life force healing center, is not only an excellent chiropractor, but a font of information from nutrition and anatomy to the issues of mind/body interplay. if you think your physical problems are nothing more than an ache that can be cured by popping a Vicodin, don't bother seeking help here. but if you sense that pain and stress may have deeper sources, get some plain talk going with this man while he works your knotted shoulders and tensed muscles. you will leave energized, de-stressed, and enlightened. he's one of a kind. and he takes insurance!"

"Source Healing is on the 8th and top floor of a beautiful old building in River North. I look forward to coming to this serene and restful place every week. Rick Brown is the chiropractor I see here, and Rick is a treasure that I am reluctant to shout about, because I want him to be my secret. Dr. Brown is not just a chiropractor; he is a holistic package. The scope of his knowledge about healthy living is truly amazing. He obviously cares about his patients, and my back and mood have never been better..."

"A true oasis in the urban chaos. Not only do I want to just exhale my stress away the moment I walk in, I crave soaking in the caring, positive environment that welcomes me as soon as I open the door to this office. I return whenever I need a tune up with Christie or Rick Brown, be it for hormone balancing or spiritual clarity with Christie's acupuncture and herbal treatments, or chronic back pain flair-ups with Rick- which thanks to him rarely happen. Christie recently treated me with herbal first aid for a painful fall down a dozen ice covered steps. I was miraculously walking almost pain free within days. WOW."

LETTERS/EMAILS
"Because you are one who hears the voice and music inside the body, you seem to have heard and healed and redirected all those frayed and disconnected conduits I was not even consciously acknowledging. I find it interesting that after only after a few months of wearing orthotics I never used them again, yet my problems never recurred. What does that say about learning how to walk correctly but figuratively as opposed to literally?!"

"Rick, now that I've been working with you for some time, I've just gotta tell you what a wonderful doctor you are. Truly 'wholistic,' you educate my mind while you're smoothing out all my muscles and nerves, and I truly draw some kind of spiritual sustenance from you. You give such thoughtful answers to every question, you're a terrific listener, and it's clear that you care. This past year has been a tough one for me and your caring has really helped keep me on course."
Female Client
"There are times when pain is a catalyst toward wholeness. Such was the case five years ago, when shoulder and neck injuries led me to you. While your gifts as a chiropractor were well known, my fear nearly kept me from reaching for your help. The restoration of damaged muscle tissue was a lengthy process; the removal of the first layer of my fear, however, was immediate! Just as light cannot fully be separated from darkness, so healing of the physical body is intricately intertwined with enlightenment of the spirit. Through your gift of sacred touch, you guided me to another level of consciousness. to a renewal of my spiritual energy. and ultimately, a reclaiming of my own inner light. Is a channel of healing the same as a healer? The process is mine, but I am certain that being on the path with you Rick was to experience the "Life Force" towards healing within, you taught me that."
