He is a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists, a Member of the American Pregnancy Association and on the editorial board for the Journal of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists. Dr. Kruse lectures around the country and has authored numerous papers documenting the positive effects of chiropractic care for disc herniations in the neck and back. He has authored a chapter on the care of back pain in pregnant patients and a case study showing how Cox Flexion Distraction helped a pregnant woman with sciatica.

Visit our blog at Dr. Ralph Kruse at BlogSpot  for information regarding various health issues. We will keep you up to date with some of the latest concerns such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain and DeQuervain’s tendonitis of the thumb which result from frequent texting. Proper ergonomics of texting technology is a growing concern. We invite you to like us on FaceBook at Chiropractic Care Millennium Park and Chiropractic Care, Ltd.

One of the premises of chiropractic is that when the flow of nerve impulses to parts of the body is hindered, illness, pain, numbness, weakness and tingling can result. Causes of these 'pinched nerves' include herniated, bulging and degenerated discs as well as spinal misalignments (subluxations) and muscle tightness. Chiropractic manipulation, including Cox Flexion-distraction decompression, helps remove this interference and restores normal nerve flow to the musculoskeletal system. Cox Flexion-distraction can also be modified to treat pregnant patients with back pain and sciatica.

As a Chiropractic Orthopedist, Dr. Kruse frequently treats issues unrelated to the spine such as rotator cuff impingement and tendonitis, hip bursitis, knee pain and plantar fasciitis. At both of our offices your therapy may include massage, electric stimulation, heat, therapeutic ultrasound, custom-molded foot orthotics, kinesio tape, muscle activation technique, nutrition, and rehabilitation. Acupuncture is also a treatment option for pain and stress reduction as well as an aid to help quit smoking. The Homewood office contains an x-ray facility which allows for faster diagnosis and treatment.

Our goal is to help you learn more about the benefits of Chiropractic care. We invite you to schedule an appointment with us to discuss if you can benefit from our care. We are a preferred provider for most insurance plans and bill your insurance company directly. We accept assignment for Medicare and treat worker's compensation and motor vehicle accident injuries such as whiplash.

We maintain practices in south suburban Homewood (708-798-5556), and 30 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago directly across from Millennium Park (312-269-5556). The Homewood location offers free on- site parking and we pay for your parking at the Grant Park North garage when you visit our Chicago location.
