Our Philosophy: A Natural Approach to Wellness

Chicago Sports and Chiro believes that true wellness is about more than just treating symptoms; it's about addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction and empowering individuals to take control of their own health.

Our focus on chiropractic care stems from its unique hands-on approach, designed to restore proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system. We understand that this system is interconnected, and imbalances in one area can ripple throughout the entire body, contributing to pain, restricted movement, and decreased overall function. Our goal is to identify these imbalances and gently guide your body back to its optimal state of alignment and balance.

Services and Treatments

We offer a wide range of services and treatments designed to address a variety of conditions, from sports injuries to chronic pain.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

Chiropractic Adjustments: The cornerstone of our practice, chiropractic adjustments involve precise, controlled manipulations of the spine and extremities to restore proper joint alignment and motion.

Functional Corrective Rehabilitation: This vital component of our approach focuses on restoring proper movement patterns and strengthening the muscles surrounding injured areas. Through targeted exercises, we help patients regain strength, flexibility, and improve their overall functional capacity.

Advanced Modalities

• We utilize cutting-edge technologies like Cold Level Laser Therapy to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is used to enhance muscle recovery and reduce pain by delivering low-level electrical impulses to specific muscle groups.
• Graston Technique, a patented instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization method, effectively breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, restoring mobility and reducing pain.

• Kinesio Taping, a therapeutic taping technique, is used to support muscles, improve joint alignment, and promote circulation, aiding in pain management and rehabilitation.

• Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine practice, utilizes thin needles inserted into specific points along energy meridians to restore balance and alleviate pain.

Other Treatments

• Cupping: An ancient therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow, releasing muscle tension, and relieving pain.
• IntelliSkin PostureCue Apparel: Specially designed clothing that incorporates patented PostureCue technology to help improve posture and reduce strain on muscles and joints.

• Gait Analysis and Custom Orthotics: Through in-depth gait analysis, we identify biomechanical imbalances in your walking pattern and create custom orthotics to correct these issues, improving comfort, reducing pain, and preventing injuries.

• Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling: We recognize that optimal health extends beyond the musculoskeletal system. Our nutrition and lifestyle counseling sessions focus on educating patients about the role of nutrition, exercise, and stress management in overall well-being. We work with patients to develop personalized plans that address their unique needs and support their overall health goals.
