Chicago Farmer’s Markets

by floodlightseo

It’s the beginning of May, which means it’s time to kick off the farmers’ market season. Farmers’ markets provide fresh,
seasonal food directly from your local farms. These foods travel a short distance from farm to table. Thus, they have a lower carbon footprint. The average distance food travels is 1,500 miles1.

Farmers’ markets provide an educational, outdoor experience that is fun to share with friends and/or family members. I encourage you to get to know your farmers; they will provide you with a wealth of information about locally grown food.

In a time where our culture seems to embrace the organic and natural way, it is disturbing to see the percentage of non-natural births increase every year in the United States. This is not meant to make someone feel bad if you needed an intervention like a c section, but the WHO (World Health Organization) […]

I have been going to McKinley Family Chiropractic for almost a year now (or is it longer?). I have NO regrets at all. I have never felt better! The staff and the doctors are absolutely compassionate, caring and very friendly. I feel like I am visiting family each week! They are so knowledgeable and fully explain everything that they are doing. They always are so patient with me when I ask questions and NEVER feel rushed out of there. Give them a try and see for yourself.

I’ve been suffering from strong upper back and neck pain, stretching down the nerves in my arms, since working from home with the onset of the pandemic. Before coming to McKinley Family Chiropractic, I spent thousands of dollars on massages and PT, but the pain was persistent. I was also seeing a chiropractor out in the suburbs, but the commute made it difficult to schedule appointments with frequency, so I only scheduled appointments when the pain got too severe. I wish I started coming to McKinley family chiropractic sooner! Within the first two weeks of the regiment , I felt vast improvement. I no longer have nerve pain, the muscles in my neck were a lot less tense, and my posture improved immensely. They’ve also helped me work through ongoing knee pain that has improved my running form! Moreover, the staff is very kind. I’m always greeted by my first name when I walk in the door and I feel comfortable asking the team any question about pain in the body. Note that the process requires several initial visits (I scheduled appointments 2-3x/week for the 12 visits), but then the visit frequency scales back once I had noticeable improvement. The office does accommodate this by having flexible hours (open until 7pm certain evenings, Saturday morning appointments are always available) and having an efficient schedule ( I rarely stay in the office longer than 10 minutes). I really appreciate Dr. McKinley’s holistic approach to health and wellness and would recommend anyone experiencing pain to visit McKinley Family Chiropractic.

I’ve had such a great time at McKinley Family Chiropractic! The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home even when you’re having problems with your back. I’ve been here with them for about a month and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and business. With my job I have a different schedule every day and the staff is very accommodating to it, as they have flexible hours so it’s super easy for me to come from work. I recommend coming here if you are having trouble with your back as Dr. Ray and Dr. McKinley have taken very good care of me! I’ve improved in just over a month and have been feeling back to myself thanks to them and the staff
