Noted Chiropractor is Relocating His Practice to Skokie

Dr. Michael Taylor, D.C., a noted Chicago-area chiropractor who relieves patients’ back pain and more through the use of chiropractic treatments and new technological breakthroughs, is returning his practice to Skokie on May 1.

The Disc Centers of America Chicago office will now be located at 5550 W. Touhy Ave., #103, Skokie, across from Village Crossing at Central Avenue. The new office is about a 15-minute drive from the current location on Irving Park Road in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago.

“Our new location has more space and better parking convenience for our patients,” Dr. Taylor said. “I also hope that we will be able to reach more patients in the North suburbs.”

Dr. Taylor, who opened his Chicago practice in 1999, uses chiropractic care to improve the health and wellness in all areas of patients’ lives, whether they are having problems with back pain or neck pain, or just want to feel better when they wake up in the morning.

He has experience in providing specific care for patients suffering from both cervical and lumbar disc herniations, as well as spinal stenosis, neuropathy and degenerative changes to the disc and vertebrae.

“We utilize a technique called Spinal Decompression, which allows the disc to naturally reduce the pressure inside and restore normal function,” he says. Only a handful of area practitioners use this technique, which helps people avoid medication, injections and surgeries.

Among his staff of four is a licensed physical therapist who provides specialized treatments such as laser therapy and electro analgesia. “These unique treatments allow us to naturally resolve complaints with the extremities, such as shoulders, elbows, hips and knees,” Dr. Taylor says.

Dr. Taylor is a second-generation health care professional, the son of a well-known orthopedic surgeon in the Boston area. He holds bachelor of science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard.

While attending National, he worked in the Anatomy Department, assisted in clinical research and taught human anatomy. He also holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont in Burlington.

In 2020, he was recognized by the International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression as one of the best spinal decompression specialists in the U.S.

Contact information for Dr. Taylor will remain the same after May 1. Current and prospective patients can email info@chicagodisccenter.com for more information, or call 773-599-1020.
