About the Doctor:

My name is Dr. John Himley. I am a former Jacobs High School science teacher who became interested in chiropractic care after suffering from bronchitis. For two years I coughed all day and night, had a sore throat and a low grade fever, and just felt exhausted all the time. I was in my mid 20's.  The traditional medical approach of multiple drugs failed to get me well.  I thought  I would die young because I knew that chronic lung problems can lead to serious health issues.

One day a friend invited me to learn about the benefits he was receiving from his chiropractor. Within a short time of starting care I was feeling “back to normal” again! I was so impressed with the results that I realized that I needed to share this with others. Within a couple of months I quit my teaching job and went back to school for another 4 years to become a chiropractor.

I graduated from National College of Chiropractic in December 1994.  I started construction on my offfice in Algonquin in January of 1995. My doors were open in April of 1995.

Since then I have helped thousands of people get their health back!

I am very committed to the chiropractic lifestyle. My life was forever changed for the better and my children are healthier because of my approach to Health and Wellness.

 I look forward to helping you and your family live better!

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care is the science, art and philosophy of realigning the spinal bones to remove pressure on the nerve system. When the bones of the spine become misaligned due to stress and trauma, the delicate nerves that exit between each spinal bone become "pinched". This pinching of the nerves causes dysfunction in critical organs of the body...leading to sickness, disease and sometimes pain.
Our goal is to remove any nerve interference that is CAUSING your health problems...so your body can heal and repair on its own without the use of drugs or surgery.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet,  and in the cause and prevention of disease.
