Michael Karl, DC
Dr. Michael Karl has been treating patients in Chicago for over 18 years. Dr. Karl completed his undergraduate studies at John Carroll University in Cleveland, OH, earning his degree in Biology and graduated with honors in 2002. Dr. Karl continued his professional education at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO, receiving degrees in Human Biology and Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2005. As a member of the John Carroll University football and track & field teams, Dr. Karl was driven to seek optimal body function so that he could perform to the best of his ability. It was during that time he sustained a series of injuries. Dr. Karl received a variety of treatments from some of the top medical professionals but unfortunately they were not successful. Finally, Dr. Karl experienced his first chiropractic treatments and it was then he started to heal and strive. It was through chiropractic care that his athletic goals could be reached naturally without the use of drugs or surgery. From that point on Dr. Karl became dedicated to understanding and investigating musculoskeletal fitness, as well as total health and well-being of individuals through chiropractic education.
“Our office is committed to balancing wellness, exercise, and nutrition through chiropractic care. We set individual goals for each patient to help improve their health naturally. Our hope is that through chiropractic education we can empower our patients to live healthier lives, and to join us in our commitment to teach others so that they may also enjoy better health and well-being."
Dr. Karl is actively involved within the Chicago community. He is a member of the Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce, Roscoe Village Neighbors Association and Illinois Chiropractic Society. Dr. Karl motivates his patients to live a healthy lifestyle with regular chiropractic appointments, smart nutrition and daily exercise.
