Fedeli Daniel J DC - The Balancing Center Located in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, The Balancing Center is a unique, one-of-a-kind chiropractic office that offers a variety of incredibly specialized therapeutic techniques. Our chiropractors use a holistic approach to wellness that looks at the body as a self-correcting system. We believe that the body is made to be well, and our job is to help you unlock the quality of life that you already have.

Through balancing your body with the N.U.C.C.A. upper cervical chiropractic adjustment, supporting the transition to wellness with energetic techniques such as B.E.S.T., and helping you integrate your progress into your daily life through Foundational Movement Practices (F.M.P.), we will not only bring you back to wellness, we'll help keep you there.
Services
The Balancing Center was established by Dr. Daniel J. Fedeli in 1987 to bring innovative and forward-thinking alternative health care to Chicago. The practice is designed to treat each patient from a physical, mental, and emotional angle, providing a comprehensive approach that helps with both acute and chronic conditions.
The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (N.U.C.C.A.) has developed a highly advanced procedure that is an extremely precise and gentle technique unlike any other kind of care. A gentle, controlled contact on the first vertebra in the neck is designed to restore balance to the spine. Even though the primary focus is the neck, the effect of the correction influences the entire spine and all body systems.
Basic emotions - fear, anger, grief, and others - are part of the normal response to everyday experiences. Generally, these emotional responses dissipate as the situation that triggers them resolves. For example, if you encounter a growling dog while you're walking down the street, you may feel fear.
These Foundational Movement Practices (F.M.P.) and sequences encourage your body and nervous system to recalibrate to the proper structural balance achieved through the N.U.C.C.A. correction. As you learn to navigate and move your body as it is anatomically designed to move, your nervous system starts to create a new muscle memory.

Couldn't sleep for 2 days and called off work because pain was so bad. Such a nice staff and was able to fit me in immediately for a sciatica flare up. After 1 session I was able to sleep last night with minimum pain and more than 4 hours which is a lot for me with this issue. Going back to him next week to keep up on putting in the work in order to heal properly. I appreciate him so much. Thank you Dr

For at least 15 years, Dr. Fedelli has kept me in wonderful physical and mental shape. I have herniated disc's in my neck and lower back that would have been debilitating by this stage in my life. I am pain free, straight and living my best life.

I've had chronic pain for a number of months and had different treatments but Dr. Bennett at the Balancing Center analyzed my problem on the first visit. feels almost like a miracle that there really is something wrong with me that he can fix. I didn't even know something like this, The Balancing Center existed. I'm so optimistic and grateful now! Dr. Bennett and Dr. Fedeli are both wonderful. consummate professional who really know their stuff!

Absolutely recommend Dan and his team! As a long standing client, I've been able to heal issues like the impact to my neck and spine from being forceps-delivered as well as athletic injuries over the years.

I love Dr. Dan and the Balancing Center staff! They've been taking care of me for 30 years. With their guidance, my original lower back issues have dissipated. I now see them as needed or if I tweak something from time to time. Very professional, and talented. I highly recommend them!

Dr. Dan is the best! I have been going to him for many years now, he is amazing! Super professional, only chiropractor I have been to who can take his own x-rays and determine plan of treatment. This is amazing because he will not just "crack" you like others will, he takes the time to study your spine and see what is needed. I tell everyone I know to go see him!

The environment is set up in away that is very calming, I know first hand how nerve racking it can be to go try chiropractics, but everyone is extremely down to earth and friendly. It's truly an amazing expierence, and pain relieving too! I would highly recommend and give him 10+ stars.

I've had a very positive experience in chiropractic treatment with Dr. Ken. He's incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously with chronic pain. I'm so grateful for the care at The Balancing Center.

Overall good chiropractic services (saw Dr Fedeli) but did not help me with my issues. I also was not communicated any timeline and seemed like the assumption was I would just keep going back indefinitely. Sessions were sometimes only 10 minutes and I ended up waiting a lot of the time because they were behind schedule. Overall can't say I do or don't recommend - if you've exhausted other treatment options maybe worth a try but they don't cover insurance and are quite expensive.

Highly recommended. I'm a personal injury attorney and this is where I go when I get pains. Always get things corrected on my body and feel great afterwards. I see Dr. Ken: he's great at his job and I also have fun talking with him.

Have been going to the balancing center for decades, to support my wellness, and am so much better for it. I love the style of calm, caring that all the staff and practitioners have - it's always a respite of calm and serenity, and the holistic ethos is welcome and genuine. Happy to have access to this gem, and all of the skilled folks there!

Dr Ken delivers precise and 'non drastic' adjustments that actually work. The Balancing Center's approach is honest and not the traditional Chiropractic services.

I've been going to Dr. Dan off and on for many years and again was reminded of how much I appreciate him and his skill. I hurt myself recently and finally saw Dr. Dan this weekend after a couple of weeks of feeling off. He treated me and I walked out feeling significantly better (and continue to feel better). This recent experience once again reminded me that he is so much more than just a chiropractor -- and I completely respect his years of training in many different modalities.

He has a way of melding his experience and knowledge with his strong intuitive sense, and then delivering just the right "dose" to help his patient. I am a physician myself and am grateful to him for how he has helped friends, family and patients of mine. I sincerely respect and appreciate his way of healing. It is unique and so beneficial to so many people.

I've been going to the balancing center for at least 8 years now and every time I walk out of there I'm blown away at how profound yet simple the nucca technique is at this chiropractic office. I Originally came here because I had wicked sciatica pain. That was cured within six visits. Then I had turf toe from 20 years of dancing and in a matter of 8 visits I can dance and walk without paying again.

I literally use my chiropractor as my body mechanic to tune up once a month because I feel so much better. It's wild! You won't get it until you try it. If you are suffering from any pain I dare you to put dr.ken to the test.

Dr. Fedeli is a master healer! He was the only one who could alleviate my back pain through holistic healing that is so difficult to find. See for yourself how amazing his practice is. Everyone there is top notch, you will leave feeling so much better inside and out.

Dr. Fedeli is one-of-a-kind. He's a miracle worker, in my opinion. I've been seeing him for 2 years now - the first year I wasn't that consistent with my treatment. However, after seeing the results of what a year could do seeing him occasionally I decided to get more consistent. Let me first say, every time I see him I feel a huge improvement - physically and emotionally.

I feel as though I'm "reset". It's amazing! No matter what I'm going through, when I visit the office I leave with a smile on my face feeling better. Now let's get to the science of it. he showed me a comparison side-by-side of my X-rays exactly one year later from the initial X-ray. I couldn't believe my eyes. There was such a difference in the tilt of my head in he X-rays.

When I was first diagnosed I was told I had a s-curve to my neck and without treatment I could be facing disc problems in the near future. The first time seeing him my neck was tilted very much to the right. A year later my neck is almost straight. I'm looking forward to the results of consistent treatment this year. Thank you Dr. Fedeli and the Balancing center for the work you do. So thankful I found you. I highly recommend this team!

Dr. Ken is a magician. He really knows where I'm hurting before I even tell him. I appreciate his attention to detail and how he takes so much time adjusting my back. He seems to know so much more than just your average chiropractic and he cares so much about curing his patients as quickly as possible. I definitely will be back and recommend Dr. Ken!

Dr Fedeli has been my chiropractor for over 15 years. He is the best! Although there are lots of other chiropractors closer to my home in the northern suburbs I would never think of changing.

Dr. Dan and Dr. Ken are amazing professionals. I see them every 3 weeks or so. They take their time to make sure I'm aligned. Because I see them often I haven't feel pain on my neck or low back for a while. My wife and my kids also see them.

Dr. Dan at The Balancing Center fixed what my physician couldn't figure out. For years, I had suffered from migraines and had neck pain. My physician prescribed medication to treat the migraines. But she did nothing for the neck pain. Then my thumb went numb. My physician prescribed a wrist support thinking that it might be carpal tunnel. She said to call back in 4 weeks if that didn't help.

When I called back, she referred me to a hand surgeon. WHAT? I asked, what if this is related to whatever's going on in my neck? Luckily, I told a friend this story, and she recommended I see Dr. Dan at The Balancing Center. My numb thumb was indeed caused by what was going on with my neck. In fact, so were my migraines. As it turns out, my x-rays showed an old neck injury.

Now I have conquered my migraines, my neck pain, and my numb thumb. I only wish I had found The Balancing Center sooner. And, I wish all my friends and family could go there too.

Dr. Fideli is a wonderful teacher and brings a caring energy which extends to his patients and staff. He is vey knowledgeable in mind and body coordination, immunity and the nervous systems. The visits where all scheduled by the very knowledgeable and always smiling operators Laura and Becca which have made the flow of my appointments to be a wonderful experience.

The waiting room is filled with journals and books aligned with the body energetica. Thank you all ( balancing center) for staying focused on servicing your patients form the heart with knowledge. I recommend you give your neck some love!

Nice people but very unprofessional. I do feel like the treatments were helping me a little. But they gave me very vague answers to my health questions and how they could help me. Dr. Fideli is a fast talker and I think he confuses you on purpose. Then they tell you you have to come in multiple times a week to get better at 75 dollars per ten minute treatment.

But they dont give you a real reason. Just that in order for you to get better you have to come in multiple times a week and as time goes your visits can be more infrequent. Again I do feel the treatments they were giving me temporarily providing me with pain relief. So I wont fully dismiss it as quackery. The last straw for me though was was waiting for 30 min for my ten min appt.

I told the receptionist that I did not know I was going to have to wait this long so I needed to literally run down for two min to feed the meter. So I did and came back up within literally two min, he took another patient that came in after me. At that point I just left

I want to recommend Dr. H, at the Balancing Center. He gave the most thorough chiropractic session, adjusting me several different ways. It seemed like he kept adding more and more extra things to make sure I was in good adjustment. I rate him highly and want to be his patient. He not only took amazing care of me, I was with my 2 poodles and on the spot he adjusted them right there and then an they seemed very relaxed after. He is a great practioner that gives lots of added value

Working as a dog trainer and dog walker for the past 5 years, I never realized how effective chiropractic care could be. Dr. Ken has been great at helping me work out any discomfort and imbalance I have due to work. For anyone even caring for one dog, you may not even realize how much it causes imbalance in your body. I have tried other chiropractors but Dr. Ken is by far the best.

I've been a patient of Dr. Dan and Dr. Ken for about a year. Initially, my posture and inability to walk straight were indicators my body was in need of alignment. After just one visit, I felt more grounded and could walk straighter without much mental effort. I highly recommend them.

I should have re-aligned with Dr. Ken way before this. The Universe is lining up, too.

I absolutely love The Balancing Center! I know that no matter how I feel walking into their doors, I will be welcomed with genuine warmth and care, receive amazing healing, and walk out relaxed and feeling aligned and balanced in my body. Dan is himself a gifted healer and has built a team of healers! Thank you for your wonderful care!

Oh Balancing Center, can't you open an office in LA? I learned so much about my body from Dr. Fedeli and received so much pain relief from my visits with your team. Now that I no longer live in Chicago, I miss you more than ever!

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Fedeli and Dr. Bennett. I referred to the Balancing Center 10 years ago after being hit by a car. The work they do is terrific! I recommend them and Mark the massage therapist highly to anyone pursuing balance in their life, a solution to pain or a great massage!
