Modern Chiropractic Chicago
Modern Chiropractic Chicago is a chiropractic and natural health care practice at 3019 N Lincoln Ave in Chicago, serving the Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods and the Chicago LGBTQ community since 2014. The practice is led by Dr. Bradley Backhaus, a chiropractic physician who holds an acupuncture certification from National University of Health Sciences and a Corrective Exercise Specialist certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Services include chiropractic care, acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, massage therapy, manual therapy, physical therapy, and nutrition counseling, and these are often recommended in combination after a thorough evaluation. Care follows a scientific, evidence-based approach: a detailed history, a physical examination, and patient feedback shape a treatment plan built around each patient's own goals, with the aim of addressing the underlying cause of a condition rather than treating symptoms alone. The office sees patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and works with other medical specialists when co-management or referrals are needed. Because the treatments are mechanical therapies, the number of sessions depends on the severity of the condition, and visit frequency is reduced as symptoms improve. The practice states it will never make a patient purchase a large care plan. Complimentary consultations are offered, insurance coverage can be used for visits, and Saturday appointments and late opening hours are available.

FAQs
What services does Modern Chiropractic Chicago offer?
The practice provides chiropractic care, acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, massage therapy, manual therapy, physical therapy, and nutrition counseling. Options are often recommended in combination for the greatest benefit, based on a thorough evaluation.
What happens on my first visit?
The first appointment takes 45 to 60 minutes in total. It covers your health history, a specific examination tailored to your area of complaint, a discussion of your diagnosis and treatment plan, and your first chiropractic adjustment. Wear clothing you can move around in so all necessary testing can be performed.
How long do follow-up appointments take?
Subsequent appointments take about 15 to 40 minutes. Your questions and concerns are addressed first, then you are treated according to your plan. As you start to feel better, the frequency of your visits decreases.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. The practice is pleased to offer complimentary consultations. Call (312) 208-1550 or use the contact form to arrange one.
Can I use my insurance?
Yes. The office states that your insurance coverage can be used for your visits. Contact the practice directly to confirm the details of your own plan.
Will I be asked to buy a long-term care plan?
No. The office states it will never make you purchase a large care plan or sell you chiropractic for the rest of your life. Because the treatments are mechanical therapies, the number of sessions depends on the severity of the condition being treated, and visits are reduced once you are getting symptom relief.
Are evening or Saturday appointments available?
Saturday appointments and late opening hours are offered. Check the hours listed on this page for the current days and times, and book online or call (312) 208-1550.
