Our specialized board-certified chiropractic orthopedic, sports medicine and rehabilitation training allow us to provide the highest quality conservative care!
We are one of a handful of chiropractors in Chicago who are Diplomate/Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists (DACO/FACO), a designation that distinguishes certified chiropractic orthopedists for clinical excellence and advanced training.
​
Fellows of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists are chiropractic physicians who have advanced training and who specialize in the non-surgical branch of orthopedics. They treat the entire musculoskeletal system including joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, associated nerve structures and not just the spine.
​
With advanced training beyond traditional chiropractic education, FACO’s have expertise consistent with an orthopedic specialist. After completing undergraduate degrees and chiropractic university doctorate, a chiropractic orthopedist pursues three to four years of rigorous post-graduate work and must pass board-certification processes including written and clinical examinations.
​
Additional training and certification in Diplomate of American Chiropractic Rehabilitation (DACRB), and Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) respectively, further bolster skills in orthopedics, radiology and sports medicine.
​
This combination of training and experience gives us a unique perspective and allows us to draw on a broad set of skills for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions. We frequently use diagnostic testing such as x-ray, ultrasound and MRI as well as patient’s previous lab results and rehabilitation testing to determine the source of a patients' pain. This enables us to identify objective causes of pain and injury, rather than just relying on description of symptoms.
​
Treatment by a chiropractic orthopedist and rehabilitation specialist includes a range of non-surgical treatment approaches such as manual therapies, chiropractic manual techniques, soft tissue techniques, exercise, and more.
​
We frequently coordinate with neurologists, orthopedists, surgeons, pain management specialists, primary care providers, and other health professionals to ensure our patients receive is the highest standard of care.
