About Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Services

Thank you for considering Caring Medical and Rehabilitation Services

Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Services, S.C. (CMRS) is a Prolotherapy and Natural Medicine Clinic specializing in the treatment of chronic pain and sports injuries located in beautiful Oak Park, Illinois, a nearby suburb of Chicago.

Established in 1991 by Ross Hauser, M.D., and Marion Hauser, M.S.,R.D., Caring Medical had the unique opportunity to help patients from the Chicagoland area, as well as from all over the United States, and indeed the world.

We have developed into one of the largest Prolotherapy and Natural Medicine Clinics in the US. We are comprised of over 20 staff members and 10 consultants, and operate within over 10,000 square feet of office space located on three floors of the Medical Arts Building at 715 Lake Street, Suite 600, Oak Park, Illinois 60301.

Why Come To Caring Medical? …Because of Our Doctors!
Patients come to Caring Medical because both Dr. Hauser and Dr. Filice are very skilled in treating chronic pain and metabolic problems without reliance on pharmaceuticals or invasive techniques. Most of the patients they see at the first visit have a long history of chronic pain and medical problems. In many cases, Dr. Hauser or Dr. Filice are the 6th or 7th or 8th (sometimes more) physician our patients have seen in seeking answers to their medical problems.

Our doctors’ philosophy is not to suppress symptoms with medications, but rather, to seek out the root cause of a patient's complaints and seek a permanent solution. They do this by first listening to the patient and asking questions about their medical history.

While sometimes pharmaceuticals are needed, our doctors’ long-term goals are to wean the patient off their use. This includes narcotic pain medications, anti-inflammatories, steroidal medications, and others.

Prolotherapy A Surgical Alternative to Chronic Joint and Back Pain
"Conditions that had resisted every practitioner’s efforts (chiropractors, MD’s, DO’s, massage therapists, kinesiotherapists) over many years show a rapid and good response to Prolotherapy. The reason is that Prolotherapy gets to the cause of the problem, which is usually weak tendons and/or ligaments." Robert Filice, M.D.

"When I began seeing pain patients during my residency training program in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, I thought they were a very difficult group of people to treat. They often appeared depressed, and traditional approaches to pain management did not seem to help. Then I said to myself, 'How would I feel if I had pain day after day and no one could find a cure?' The families of many who suffer from pain often begin doubting the reality of their loved ones’ pain.”

”In April 1992, I contacted Prolotherapy pioneer Dr. Gustav Hemwall and he allowed me to observe him in his clinic. During the next few months, I spent a considerable amount of time in Dr. Hemwall’s office. People traveled from all over the world to be treated by this 84-year-old man. To think that someone would travel from places like England, Mexico, Florida, and California to receive pain treatment was incredible. Three months later, I began utilizing Prolotherapy in my medical practice as a treatment for chronic pain." Ross Hauser, M.D.

Prolotherapy by experts
Physicians should use and apply the technique of Prolotherapy only after they have received extensive training and demonstrated the ability to safely administer the treatment.

Ross Hauser, M.D. has been practicing Prolotherapy for over 14 years. He trained directly under and assumed the practice of one of the leading figures in Prolotherapy Gustav Hemwall, M.D., who himself treated 10,000 patients over a four decade career.

Dr. Hauser has himself taught and trained over 100 physicians in the technique including his colleague Robert Filice, M.D. Dr. Filice is Dr. Hauser's physician and Prolotherapist.

Working with difficult cases
Some Prolotherapists will not offer treatment to areas of the spine or the groin area. We are among the few clinics that will treat all areas of the body with Prolotherapy.

We also work with physicians who send their patients to Caring Medical to determine why Prolotherapy was not as successful as possible or even failed.

In our experience, as well as in medical studies, anywhere from 75-82% of people are cured of their chronic pain with Prolotherapy. Of the other 20%, the majority achieve substantial pain relief with Prolotherapy. If Prolotherapy is appropriately administered by a qualified physician, most patients are given a great chance of resolving chronic joint and back pain without the need for surgery. Our physicians see the very difficult cases with great success.

Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Services: Servicing People From Around the World! We have been blessed to treat patients from all over the country and the world. Most patients fly in the morning and are home by dinner.
