Maryknoll is a family-oriented neighborhood in the north end of Glen Ellyn, near the Bloomingdale border. Maryknoll Park is the center of gravity here, hosting youth soccer, baseball, and open field play throughout the warmer months. Spring Lake Park is nearby, adding more green space to an already active area. Families here are busy, and their bodies show it.
Our office at 400 W Liberty Dr in Wheaton is about 13 minutes south and west of the Maryknoll neighborhood. We treat youth athletes, working parents, and longtime residents who need more than rest to get better. Dr. Carlo has been helping DuPage County families stay active and pain-free since 2005.

Maryknoll is a classic Glen Ellyn family neighborhood. The houses here are from the 1960s through the 1980s, with yards big enough for backyard games and garages full of gear. Weekends revolve around youth sports, and weekdays mean commutes, desk jobs, and school runs. It is a full-schedule lifestyle that does not leave much room for recovery.
We see a lot of youth athletes from this part of Glen Ellyn. Travel soccer, baseball, and lacrosse players who are pushing hard through their seasons sometimes develop back or hip pain that does not go away between games. Young spines respond well to chiropractic care, and catching problems early prevents them from becoming chronic.
We also see a lot of parents. The adults who spend their weekends at the park carrying equipment, standing on sidelines, and lifting kids in and out of cars often end up with lower back pain that builds quietly through the fall sports season. By November, they are ready to do something about it.
What brings Maryknoll residents to us most often?
Families in Maryknoll want to stay in the game, literally and figuratively. We help them do that.
Youth athletes often develop back pain from repetitive motion in one direction. Soccer involves a lot of kicking with one dominant leg. Baseball pitching loads the shoulder and thoracic spine on one side. Over a full season, these asymmetric demands can shift joints out of position and create pain that shows up during or after games.
Research from the American College of Physicians identifies spinal manipulation as a recommended first-line treatment for acute and chronic low back pain before medication or surgery.1 That applies to young athletes just as it does to adults.
For parents dealing with lower back pain from an active family lifestyle, the pattern is usually the same: cumulative joint restriction from sitting, lifting, and doing too much without any recovery. A targeted care plan addresses the restriction directly and usually brings relief faster than physical therapy or waiting it out.
Dr. Carlo gives you a clear picture of what is happening and a realistic timeline at the very first visit. No guesswork. Learn more about our back pain treatment, sports injury care, and sciatica treatment.
A chiropractic adjustment restores proper movement to a spinal joint that has shifted out of alignment. When a joint stops moving correctly, it puts pressure on the surrounding nerves and discs. Correcting the joint removes that pressure and allows the body to begin healing the tissue around it.
Dr. Carlo uses two primary adjustment techniques and selects the one that fits your condition and comfort level:

Yes. Back pain in a young athlete that does not clear up on its own after a week or two deserves a look. Growing bodies can develop joint restrictions from the repetitive demands of a sport, and those restrictions respond very well to chiropractic care. Dr. Carlo has experience with youth athletes and will give you a clear explanation of what he finds at the first visit. Getting ahead of it early prevents a longer problem later in the season.
That story is very familiar in our office. Parents who stand on sidelines, carry gear, and haul equipment across uneven fields for a full season develop lower back pain that compounds over time. Chiropractic care addresses the underlying joint restrictions driving that pattern. Most parents in this situation start feeling noticeably better within the first two weeks of care. You should not have to hurt through the whole sports season.
It depends on your condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds to care. Acute pain from a specific activity often improves significantly within 6 to 8 visits over two to three weeks. Chronic conditions that have been building for months typically require 12 to 20 visits over 8 to 12 weeks. Dr. Carlo gives every patient a specific estimate after the first examination and adjusts the plan as you improve.
No referral is needed. Call us at (630) 665-7266 or book online at any time. Illinois allows patients to see a chiropractor directly without a physician referral. If Dr. Carlo finds something during your examination that needs evaluation by another specialist, he will let you know and help coordinate the right referral.
