by Deborah Styka on 2016-08-30 The Yoga class is very good.

by Elisabeth Burg on 2016-08-30 I know I'm getting the best care by Dr. Riggio. He is trying hard to help me through a difficult time of alleviating pain due to an injury I sustained through a car accident. I also enjoy the very clean and nice facility including Dr. Riggio's very capable and helpful Secretary Susan. A great place to get chiropractic treatment!

by Carol Conrad on 2016-08-24 My experience with Dr. Joe was very good. I have come a long way with his help and for that I am forever grateful.

by Crystal Thomas on 2016-08-09 Quality diagnostics and treatment, caring staff, and effective recommendations. All around a very good experience that I strongly recommend.

by Daniel Schwellenbach on 2016-08-04 Dr. Joe has a great understanding of how to treat pain in your body. He has helped me with back, wrist and shoulder pain and it always was doe through treatment of the spine. He also set me on the right pat to a healthier life style through proper nutrition. Thanks for everything Doctor Joe.

by Elisabeth Burg on 2016-07-31 Dr. Riggio was very thorough in evaluating my condition and took time to answer all my questions. Recently I was involved in a car accident and in need of help with head and neck injuries. Immediately Dr. Riggio came to my mind because he previously treated me for a back problem that was completely healed. I highly recommend Dr. Riggio to anyone who is looking for Chiropractic care.

by Gerald Johnson on 2016-07-19 Dr. Riggio is an excellent chiropractor, and I look forward to seeing him, from here on forward. Compared to other chiropractors I have seen in the past, he does not have just a few methods of treatment. He has quite a few methods that he uses, in which he focuses not only on the area of discomfort or pain, but all relevant areas of the back and neck, in order to balance everything out, overall. The staff is courteous and friendly, and always a joy to be around. I highly recommend this chiropractic facility.

by Rita Julian on 2016-06-24 I went in wanting to purchase an herbal product I had just ran out of. The friendly staff took the time to find out what my needs were and suggested a different product. They were out of it but told me they would call me later that day when the shipment arrived. They did call!

by Thomas Drabant on 2016-06-03 Dr. Joe is an excellent Chiropractor who is professional, yet compassionate to his patient's needs.

by Elisabeth Burg on 2016-05-10 I have been greatly helped with the treatment I received from Dr. J. Riggio and value his expertise, patience and concern for his patients. The staff is friendly, very helpful and efficient. I feel blessed to have such good care!

by Carol Conrad on 2016-04-14 As always my experience with Dr. Riggio was very good. I have been a patient of his for a number of years and he has helped me tremendously with my sciatica, and lower back pain. He is a doctor who really cares about his patients.

by George Crawford on 2016-04-11 was treated with respect and physician was very helpful

by Elisabeth Burg on 2016-04-09 Dr. Riggio has a genuine concern for his patients, is a good listener when patients describe their aches and pains and tries hard to get his patients well again. I would recommend him highly. Also, I really do appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of his staff. Nice facility. Thank you and many blessings to you as you continue your vital work with hurting people. Liz Burg

by Amanda Kryska on 2016-03-30 Dr. Riggio was very thorough when explaining the services offered. He was able to breakdown the benefits of not only chiropractic care but also the infrared sauna, the vibration equipment to breakup the scar tissue in my ankle, and orthopedic shoes. I plan on returning to utilize all these services. Dr. Riggio was also very good at explaining the pricing breakdown of the services as well as what insurance would cover. I appreciated his overall honesty and good nature.

by Carole Schreiber on 2016-03-19 Joe Riggio has helped me become mobile again! I no longer struggle with back pain from my neck to my knees!!! Thanks Joe

by Paul Butler on 2016-03-18 Time is a valuable asset. This is respected by Itasca Health and Chiropractic. The doctor saw me on time at each visit. My chiropractic was to eliminate or reduce stiffness in my neck. At the initial evaluation the treatment was described along with the probable outcome. Money is and issue in all of our lives. It was made clear that my Medicare would not cover the bill. My approximate total payment was provided. The recommended treatment was going to take place over a period of one month. I agreed and the treatments were provided in a professional manner. The equipment available for use is space age. Chiropractic treatment requires hands on application. The treatment was delivered in and effective manner and you knew that the doctor and the staff cared about you. I would recommend Itasca and Chiropractic to anyone needing this type of treatment. I also warn anyone needing to contact their insurance company first to see what is covered and what isn't. The insurance warning is the same warning that I have given over the past 50 years. The stiffness was greatly reduced, and I was provided with an exercise regimen that will keep the stiffness under control.

by Sergio Abate on 2016-03-05 Just Great..!!

by Paul Butler on 2016-01-25 Itasca Chiropractic provides quality medical care. They are up front on what it costs and they provide detailed print outs of your bill. The service is delivered in a timely fashion. The main thing is that I feel better after being treated there.

by Patrick Lopardo on 2016-01-23 Dr. Joe and his staff do a great job.

by Albert Chavoen on 2016-01-21 I was told that I was a prime candidate for two total knee replacements when a neighbor suggested that I go to Itasca Health. After only four treatments I had much less pain in my knees. After twelve treatments the pain was almost gone. I still have some discomfort when the knee bones rub, but it is acceptable. The orthotics that Dr. Riggio had made for me are helping greatly to help straighten out my ankles, and take the stress off the inside of my knees. I am very happy to have taken my neighbors advice. Thank you Dr. Riggio. Al Chavoen

by Bonnie Stratynski on 2016-01-17 Dr. Joe and Tim were higly encouraging through the 28 day detox that we embarked upon this past fall 2015. A friend and I did it together and the results are amazing. Now don't get me wrong the first few days were ....horrible...Sorry Dr. Joe and Tim but once we got used to the caffeine withdrawals and the preparation of the daily shakes (i.e.: amounts to be mixed and added) it was much more palatable. I don't suggest the "just add a brocoli to it I promise you won't even taste it" so not true, lol. By day 3 you wil be feeling back in control and ready for success. The supplements can also be slightly overwhelming, but just like anything the effort and determination you put in is the reward. We received a body composition assessment in the beginning and the end to see your progress and achievements, which for both of us was outstanding! You will also be amazed at how after the cleanse you can really taste the sweetness in the foods you begin to eat after. I would encourage anyone who is interested in resetting their metabolism to embark upon this, it was the only thing that worked for me. We are both so glad to have met you both at the health fair in Itasca and for offering this product and encouragment! Bonnie :))

by Erick Coley on 2016-01-14 I've been to many chiropractors over years suffering from a herniated disc I have never been treated for my lower back muscle tension pains The way Dr. Joe has set up his treatments such a great medical treatment I have ever received I would recommend this treatment from this doctor in this chiropractic office to anyone suffering with pain

by Lisa Pokorny on 2016-01-11 Dr. Riggio is great. He really cares about his clients and it is evident during the appointment. Dr. Riggio has a passion for what he does, and it shows during the session. Overall, it has been an enjoyable experience going to his office. My appointments are always on time. This is very important to me, since I go on my lunch break. He is able to get me in and out with no problems. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I enjoy that he offers nutritional supplements to ensure my health. The office also has total body vibration that clients are able to use before or after their sessions, and he offers infrared sauna treatments for detoxification and weight lose. I highly recommend Dr. Riggio for anyone looking for a chiropractor or nutritional support.

by Barb Lynn on 2015-11-29 My friend and I wanted to improve our health, so we decided to do the 21 day Standard Process detox. It was a challenge the first couple days as we had cravings for some of the unhealthy things we were wanting to give up- (coffee, soda, sugar). However, very quickly we started feeling great and losing weight, bloat and the cravings for poor food choices. In the end we both lost well over 10 pounds and have so much energy! So happy we did it. Dr Joe and Tim were both very supportive and encouraging and educated us more every time we went in. If you have wondered if this detox might work for you- DO IT! I feel fantastic and couldn't be more pleased with the results!

by Anon on 2015-11-13 Beautiful office, flexible options for any of your needs!

by Anon on 2015-10-03 Very informative

by Anita Diesing on 2015-10-02 On time with appointments. Informative in continuing good health lifestyle.

by Stormy Lopez on 2015-09-06 Dr Riggio is excellent. He takes his time to complete a very thorough examination and evaluation of your needs. His assistant, Tim is amiable and efficient and makes you feel comfortable. I have recommended Dr Riggio to several friends

by Anon on 2015-08-28 Very helpful and educational

by Miriam Sanchez on 2015-08-27 Excellent medical and professional care. Would rrcommend friends and family to your facility.

by Sarah Moenke on 2015-07-25 Dr is great and Tim is Johnny on the spot.. I can get in and out in less than thirty minutes and I never have to wait.

by Rose Andrews on 2015-07-14 I have been seeing Dr. Riggio for 12 years. Whether it's for my monthly wellness visit or a new injury, I always receive excellent care.

by Grazia Lenzi on 2015-06-29 Dr. Riggio is very methodical.

by Anon on 2015-06-26 My husband and I began the Purification program on May 1st - and I have to admit, the first week or so was tough. It's hard to break bad habits (mine: Pepsi & chips/his: candy and snack foods). During the program we had unlimited access to the exercise equipment and twice weekly use of the sauna. We completed the program and decided to continue eating along the dietary guidelines. Not only did we lose weight (in less than two months we've lost approximately 10% of our original body weight - and a few clothing sizes) we've also noticed improvements in skin, better sleeping, more flexibility, and overall health. Also, and this is a big one, we were able to stop taking daily doses of Prilosec. I would STRONGLY recommend the program; it works for us!

by Gregory Poierier on 2015-06-18 they stop the pain thank u doc joe & tim

by Steve Zehner on 2015-06-18 I'm an 50ish year old that likes exercise regularly, I found myself with a pain in hip that sidelined me for a couple weeks and wasn't getting any better. I turned to Dr. Joe for help in resolving this pain. After my first visit I was feeling better, but additional visits have continued to improve the pain as well as my range of motion and flexibility. While I enjoy the improvement but also the directness with his approach.

by Daniel Schwellenbach on 2015-06-17 Dr. Riggio goes beyond the standard treatment of cracking bones and moving on. He took the time to figure out the root of the problem to make sure he was treating the cause and not just the symptoms. I strongly recommend Dr. Riggio for any body pain or health improvement.

by Michael Scornavacco on 2015-06-12 Very thorough examination really took the time to understand my issues.

by Colleen Kaspari on 2015-05-25 I have been a patient of Dr. Riggio for 5 months now. He has provided excellent care. Easy enough to make appointments with minimal waiting time. Tim, his office assistant is great! Would definatly recommend this practice!

by Jaclyn Phillips on 2015-05-22 Dr. R is very attentive and works closely with patients to find the root of the issue. It's a great practice. He uses a bunch of different techniques. He's not just a crack and go chiro!

by Juan Quinones on 2015-05-21 Dr Joe and his team are very informative and wasted no time in taking care of my problem...the best chiro practice ive been to thus far.

by Michael Hebel on 2015-05-19 Dr. Riggio is a great chiropractor and much more. He takes the time to listen to what you have to say and how you feel then customizes a plan to not only fix what's wrong with, you but also to get you on track to a healthier over all life style. You can take that information and do as much or as little as want to do depending on what your own goals would be. Dr Riggio does a good job of convincing you to make your WHOLE self better not just fix the ailment you had when you first came in to see him.

by Anon on 2015-05-06 Always feel much better after a visit.

by Rosemarie Stachel on 2015-04-19 I am very satisfied with the care and attention I am receiving from Dr.Riggio. Every visit he noted my pain level and treated me accordingly. After a month my sciatic pain in my back and leg are 90% better. My ten minute walks are now extended to twenty minutes without hardly any pain.

by Grazia Lenzi on 2015-03-31 Since going there I have felt much better and very happy.

by Robert Sanshuk on 2015-03-26 Dr. Joe really understands the mechanics of the human body, and his experience and expertise really show as he gets to the root of the problem and treats it. I came to him with a very painful neck/head issue, which he worked on and ultimately vanquished completely. Quite a relief. Now I see him for routine wellness sessions to keep things in alignment and healthy. Joe is an exemplary healer.

by Caterina Brewer on 2015-02-22 Both my daughters and I have been treated by Dr. Joe Riggio! We were all happy with the end result. He takes the time to listen to your needs & works towards the recovery process! I have recommended Itasca Health & Chiropractic to many others.

by Domenico Schiavone on 2015-02-22 Doctor Joe is the best!

by Patricia Stasiak on 2015-02-20 Thanks, Dr. Joe! You've greatly improved my neck and shoulder mobility and schooled me on how to better care for my aging pieces and parts. I look forward to continuing as a Wellness patient.

by Dale Swanson on 2015-01-23 The doctor was very professional and the treatment was extensive and extremely competent and thorough

by Bill Parthimos on 2015-01-08 I have been extremely happy with the care I've been receiving by Dr. Riggio. I continue to improve every week.

by Jolanta Smola on 2014-10-29 My pain level was anything between 7-10 when I first walked in 3 weeks ago and now it is 0-2 at the very worst. My only regret is not coming earlier. Thank you.

by James Radeck on 2014-10-28 Good service and friendly staff

by Anon on 2014-10-20 My family and I are very appreciative for the care our daughters receive from Dr. Riggio. Not only does he help our daughters physically with their sports injuries, but he also mentally helps them out with his positive attitude and abundant amount of health knowledge. He believes in connecting everything together, so the girls are also on supplements. Dr. Riggio is helping our entire family become healthier individuals. Our daughters are making fantastic progress; as I know it is because of the whole body approach that Itasca Health and Chiropractic takes. Words truly can not express how grateful we are for all he has done. I would highly recommend Dr. Riggio to anyone looking to better themselves in any health area.

by Anon on 2014-10-14 I have been seeing Dr. Riggio for a few weeks now and can't tell you how much my quality of life has changed. His commitment to healing the whole body is truly admirable. I look forward to feeling top notch soon and will continue to see him so I can stay well.

by Victoria Fowler on 2014-07-26 Office staff are fantastic. Dr. Riggio is compassionate and caring. He fixed my lower back problems and now my knees are the subject of his attention. Gradually improving and correcting years of abuse.

by William Yeager on 2014-07-16 positive after two visits

by Behnam Vaziri on 2014-07-15 I was referred to Dr. Riggio by a business friend, he is incredible! He has changed my life, I went to him after a second epidural that did absolutely no good. I have 5 bad discs and for the last 5 years no one has been able to help me. I have never been so pain free! I still have to careful and continue therapy, but he is absolutely the best Dr. In chiropractic feild. Ben Vaziri.

by Stephen Peters on 2014-07-14 My experience in working with Dr. Riggio was awesome. I have visited chiropractors in the past and was not happy with the results. I felt that he truly took the time to learn my unique situation and determine the cause of the pain I was experiencing. Each visit Dr. Riggio spent a great deal of time and effort asking about the progress of our work and seeking alternatives when changes were needed. In addition to his chiropractic skills he has a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and healthy eating. He shared many healthy habits with me that I have made a part of my daily routine. I have never felt healthier and more pain free than I do now. I have already recommended Dr. Riggio to many people and will continue to do so.

by Rose Andrews on 2014-07-11 Dr. Riggio is always thorough and caring.

by Carol Conrad on 2014-06-20 I continue to go for my wellness visits, because without them, I would be right back where I started; in a lot of pain and discomfort. Dr. Joe made all of that go away and I am truly grateful for all he has done for me.

by Robert Sampson on 2014-06-07 Dr. Joe is an extremely caring, knowledgeable, professional and ethical health care provider. He and his staff went out of their way to help my family and me deal with my excruciating and debilitating pain. When my condition did not improve immediately, Dr. Joe wasted no time. He quickly engaged other health care specialists to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. Dr. Joe clearly demonstrated to my family and me that our overall health and well being are his number one priority.

by Rose Andrews on 2014-05-08 I have been a patient at Itasca Health and Chiropractic for over 10 years. Dr. Riggio genuinely cares about his patient's overall health and well being. He strives to keep up with the lastest advancements in treatment and patient care. I highly recommend his practice.

by Anon on 2014-04-29 Dr. Joe is very professional and has explanations for why he is doing the various treatments. It is too early to tell whether or not his work will be effective in curing my health issue (pinched nerve in neck).

by Debra Guidotti on 2014-04-28 Dr. Joe is always ready to listen to your concerns and provide thoughtful and experienced care. He makes his office a welcoming enviroment and treats you with respect and individuality.

by Carol Conrad on 2014-04-28 I have been a patient of Dr.Joe for quite a number of years, and there is no comparison to the way I felt and hurt when Dr. first saw me and how I am feeling now. He has made my hurt go away and for this I am truly greatful. I am very fortunate to have found him. CC

by Anon on 2014-04-25 Dr. Riggio is wonderful. My first visit I was in pain in the lower back. What bothered me the most was the numbness in the feet. I had painted a room 5 days earlier and developed pain the day after. I tried anti-inflammatories for 3 days with no relief. After the first 2 visits I had marked improvement. I no longer have the pain or numbness. We are currently working on stretching the shortened muscles and strengthening others. Getting it so I don't get the pain in the future. Wonderful job.

"I was very impressed with the volume of time he [Dr. Riggio] spent with me. He listened to what I had to say and was understanding of my needs.

I found it rather interesting that I began treatment with what I thought was a back problem, but Dr. Riggio discovered my neck was the real issue. As a patient, it can be tempting to self diagnose, but I learned to have great confidence in Dr. Riggio’s expertise. I was also impressed that although I initially sought help for my foot problem with an Orthopedic surgeon no solutions were resolved until I was treated by Dr. Riggio. I guess I never thought of a Chiropractor as being a foot expert, but Dr. Riggio’s treatment resolved my problem.

Stop suffering with ailments that can be treated easily and non-invasively. Dr. Riggio is great at what he does, flexible in scheduling, and treats you in a customized manner to meet your personal needs."

-Diane DiGangi

"He [Dr. Riggio] keeps our family moving. As active as we are, he manages to make sure we are at our best when it really counts."

-Rudolph Julian

"I was told I would only get 80% of my movement back [in arm] no matter how hard I worked at physical therapy. Dr. Riggio specializes in a process called the Graston Technique…He did more than 20 sessions on me and I have full mobility! I returned to my surgeon to demonstrate to him my progress. He was more than shocked…"

-Emily Katzenbach

"Long story short, Dr. Riggio’s pursuit of the root cause of a problem led him to discover a bad ankle injury I suffered over 40 year ago.  Scar tissue in my leg was restricting normal flexibility, and it impacted the muscles in my back, which in turn caused disk compression and the resulting sciatica.  Once he started using the Graston Technique on my ankle to eliminate the scar tissue, my sciatica disappeared! 

It has taken a couple of months to break down the scar tissue and build up the muscle in my leg.  I should warn people – the Graston Technique is painful, but the discomfort only lasts during treatment, but it has been worth it.  I have my life back."

-Sybil Ege

"Dr. Joe Riggio at Itasca Health & Chiropractic is an excellent chiropractor. I have a history of scoliosis and went  to him 8 months ago with severe neck and back pain. Since I was a severe case, it took a couple months to get me pain-free. So now I only need spine maintenance once a month due to my spine curvature. I had been to other chiropractors before. Dr. Riggio is different from these others in that he really spent the time with me to hear all of my concerns and gave me a complete wellness exam. I not only got spine adjustments, but used his other services like the whole body vibration machines and the full spectrum sauna, both which helped me tremendously. I also followed his nutritional advice and life style training and lost 20 pounds under his care and lowered my blood pressure from scary dangerous numbers to excellent healthy numbers.  After a cycling accident during my recreational time, I fractured my wrist. When the cast came off, I went to Dr. Riggio at Itasca Health & Chiropractic for the recommended physical therapy to restore the strength and flexibility in my arm, hand, and wrist. I received excellent therapy and learned the exercises to do at home. The wrist, hand, and arm are now stronger than ever. I highly recommend him now to my friends. I love his belief in getting you better so that you don't have to come to him and can live a healthy active life style at any age. I now feel at least 15 years younger now with the weight loss and no back pain!"
