This is one of the best chiropractic clinics in the city. The space is warm and inviting. Both Dr. McTague and Dr. Johnson are extremely knowledgeable in MSK care. Dr. McTague has helped me reach my running goals and given me the best adjustments! Both doctors truly care so much about their patients. I can’t recommend them enough!

I messed up my ankle cutting grass. After a quick examination from Dr.Johnson, he sent me home with a few exercises to try. Haven’t had an issue since. Nice guy. Would go back again.

Jeff FritchtnitchSep 30, 2026

I have been dealing with back pain for many years and got to the point that I needed help. A friend of mine suggested that I speak with Dr. McTague. During my first appointment, he took the time assess my condition and completely explain a course of treatment. I had many questions and he took the time to answer them. My back has never been better and I strongly recommend Dr. McTague!

Dr. Johnson and Dr. McTague are two of the best chiropractors in Chicago. They always take the extra time to ensure patients can thoroughly explain their situation and feel heard. After their assessment, they will recommend the best course of treatment to help you get back to full strength. They will not just give you a great adjustment but also teach you a variety of exercises to prevent or treat these pains when they pop up. Whether you are trying to get out of pain or are an athlete looking to rehab an injury, they can help you. Both have a vast knowledge of spinal ailments and musculoskeletal. I can’t wait to see how successful their clinic is going to become. You will not regret walking into this clinic because they are great chiropractors but more importantly better people.
