RE: chiropractic + wellness
RE: chiropractic + wellness is a chiropractic and wellness practice in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, led by Dr. Sarah Ghorbanian. The office describes itself as more of a local wellness hangout than a doctor's office, built on an "all bodies are good bodies" philosophy that welcomes people from every walk of life. Care covers chiropractic adjustments for adults, children, and pregnant patients, plus physical therapy and active rehab, Erchonia EVRL low-level laser therapy, nutritional counseling, and ongoing wellness care. Dr. Sarah went to the University of Illinois in Chicago for her undergraduate degree and then to chiropractic school in Lombard, Illinois, and her connection to Andersonville goes back to childhood. First visits include a conversation about current concerns and history and an exam with posture pictures, patients are usually adjusted on that first visit, and the office touches base the next day. Appointments can be requested through the online booking calendar or by phone, and the practice sees patients on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

FAQs
Will I get adjusted on the first visit?
Yes, that is the plan. Occasionally chiropractic is not the best approach for a particular issue, and in that case a different recommendation is made, such as physical therapy for a shoulder problem or a trip to urgent care for neck or back pain that warrants it.
What happens at a first appointment?
You and Dr. Sarah discuss your current concerns and past history. The exam always includes posture pictures, and digital X-rays are sometimes taken in the office and reviewed with you immediately. You are usually adjusted, then you talk through what to expect and any recommendations, and the office touches base the next day.
Do you treat children and pregnant patients?
Yes. The practice offers adjustments for children and cites studies on chiropractic patients under twelve showing fewer sick days from school, fewer ear infections, and lower rates of asthma and allergies. Prenatal adjustments help keep the body in good alignment for an easier birth process and can address sciatica and low back pain.
What is the laser therapy you offer?
The office offers Low-Level Laser Therapy using the Erchonia EVRL Laser, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing at the cellular level. Treatments are quick and painless, use no heat, injections, or medication, and require no recovery time.
How do I make an appointment?
Choose your preferred day and time on the online booking calendar or give the office a call. You will then be emailed a link to your new patient intake along with more information about where the office is located.
Where is the office and what are the hours?
The office is at 5347 North Clark Street, second floor, in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. Hours are Sunday 9 AM to 12 PM, Monday and Tuesday 8 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday 8 AM to 1 PM. The office is closed Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Do I need to have back pain to come in?
No. The practice treats a whole spectrum of issues beyond an achy back, and many patients who started with a specific problem now come regularly to maintain their health and alignment. Chiropractic patients report better sleep, increased feelings of calm, and stronger immune systems.
Do you work with other health providers?
Yes. The practice works closely with other healers and health care providers in Andersonville and around Chicago, including massage therapists, acupuncturists, yoga and pilates teachers, health coaches, nutritionists, emotional counselors, and holistic MDs.
