Together, our chiropractors offer a safe, effective sports chiropractic program, including:

Our certified, licensed sports chiropractors can help you with various conditions and create a plan to meet your needs for improved health or healing.

Our Chiropractors’ Certifications and Memberships

Holding three certifications, including the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, International Chiropractic Pediatrics, and Webster Technique, our chiropractors have the credentials. Dr. McKinley is a member of Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic, as well as a member of the International Chiropractic Association and International Chiropractic Pediatrics.

Sports Injuries We Help

Our sports chiropractors provide safe, natural treatments for wellness and sport-related injuries. You will receive the best chiropractic care to speed up your healing process and improve overall health. We ensure spinal alignment, which helps the brain and spine properly function together. As Doctors of Chiropractic, we practice a “conservative approach to healthcare” comprising a patient examination, followed by a diagnosis and treatment. With our board diagnostics skills and training, we recommend rehabilitative exercises, improvement in lifestyle, and dietary & nutrition counseling for optimum health.

Benefits of Visiting Our Sports Chiropractors

Preventive Injury Care

While our chiropractors can not prevent anyone from an injury, receiving chiropractic treatment during training or playing sports, can significantly decrease your chance of injury. Our sports chiropractors will monitor your musculoskeletal system to ensure alignment to prevent muscle and tendon sprains and strains. Correcting misalignment can decrease injury risk in active children and adults.

Improved Performance & Training

Our sports chiropractic program is beneficial for optimizing and enhancing performance by focusing on your body functions. If you are a swimmer, jumper, jogger, or soccer player, for example, and want to improve your performance, let our sports chiropractor analyze your training results and numbers. The data can help you learn which factors might be hindering you from reaching your goals.

Speedy Recovery

Minor injuries can take one week or weeks to heal, while severe injuries take months or over a year. If you are a professional athlete or play school sports, our chiropractor can increase the healing process to get you back into the game. Whether you are suffering from a sprain, strain, or fracture, let us put together the best sports chiropractic program for care.

With chiropractors helping over 35 million adults and children, many people are selecting natural alternatives for pain and injuries rather than medicine. McKinley Family Chiropractic serves Chicago and its neighboring cities, offering thorough sports chiropractic programs. We work with each client to create a plan designed for specific injuries. If you found us by searching the web for a ‘sports chiropractor near me’ we’re happy you chose us. Call us today to schedule an appointment for a consultation.

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
