Dr. Joel Rieff, M.S., D.C., has been serving the greater Chicago area and West Loop community for sometime now.  Prior to opening his chiropractic office, he completed a Salvation Army Internship, giving him a greater appreciation and understanding of personal lifestyle choices and overall chiropractic wellness care.  Dr. Rieff also obtained his Master's in Anatomy, further specializing him in the area of health and wellness care.  He is excited to be back home in Chicago where he grew up and is ready to help the West Loop and surrounding communities reach a higher level of health and wellness.

In life we are either moving towards health or we are moving towards sickness.  It happens no other way, which way are you moving?  Dr. Rieff wants to help empower others to make the lifestyle changes necessary to move towards wellness and thus a happier, healthier life.  Dr. Rieff understands that our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating, and that our nervous system is the master system of our body controlling all bodily functions.  In fact, we live our lives through our nervous system.  He understands that when there are subluxations in the spine, which are segmental misalignments caused by Physical, Biochemical, and/or Psychological negative stressors, the body is not able to self-heal and self-regulate due to the decreased function of the nervous system.  This change of events creates a state of "dis-ease" within the individual.  Chiropractors are the only health practitioners trained to locate and adjust subluxations, thereby removing the stress from the nervous system, placing the body back in a state of self-healing and self-regulation.  Dr. Rieff uses a "whole person approach" when taking care of his patients. By combining the very best hands-on-techniques to eliminate subluxations and coaching his patients on the importance of lifestyle changes, Dr. Rieff is here to help both you and your family start your journey towards health and wellness.
