Integrative Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care at Embody Health and Performance focuses on improving how your body functions so you can move, feel, and live better. Through hands-on care, movement-based insight, and personalized treatment, we help restore healthy function and support long-term wellbeing.
Chiropractic Care That Supports How Your Body Was Designed to Move
Your body is designed to move, adapt, and recover. When joints lose healthy movement or the nervous system is under stress, pain and dysfunction can develop.
Chiropractic care works to restore proper movement within the spine and joints so the body can function more efficiently. Through careful assessment and hands-on treatment, we identify where movement has been restricted and help restore the body’s natural balance.
At Embody Health and Performance, chiropractic care is always personalized, thoughtful, and focused on long-term function—not just temporary symptom relief.
What makes our approach different:
Movement Is the Foundation
At Embody, we view movement as one of the most important indicators of health. Before anything else, we look at how your body moves as a system—how the spine, joints, and surrounding tissues work together. Understanding these patterns helps us identify the true source of dysfunction rather than simply chasing symptoms.
Hands-On Care with Purpose
Manual chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work are powerful tools when used thoughtfully. Dr. Tivy uses a variety of chiropractic techniques to restore healthy joint motion, reduce unnecessary stress on the nervous system, and support the body’s ability to move well again.
Whole-Body Thinking
Pain rarely exists in isolation. A restriction in the foot can affect the knee, the hip can influence the spine, and spinal function can affect the entire body. Our approach evaluates how different areas interact so care addresses the source of the issue—not just the place where symptoms show up.
Education That Helps You Stay Healthy
Our goal isn’t simply to help you feel better during a visit—it’s to help you understand your body. Each session includes practical insight and guidance so you can maintain progress, move with confidence, and continue doing the things that matter most to you.
Whether you're dealing with persistent pain, recovering from an injury, or simply want your body to move and function better, our approach is the same: understand how your body works as a system, restore healthy movement, and support long-term function.
Persistent Pain & Stiffness
Pain that has lingered for months or years often reflects deeper movement or nervous system dysfunction. Chiropractic care helps restore healthy joint motion and reduce stress on the nervous system so the body can move and function more comfortably again.
Spine & Posture-Related Issues
The spine plays a central role in movement and nervous system function. When spinal joints lose healthy motion, the body often compensates in ways that lead to discomfort, tension, or reduced mobility. Chiropractic adjustments help restore movement and support better alignment and posture.
Health, Movement & Performance
Many people seek chiropractic care not because they are injured, but because they want their body to function better. Improving spinal and joint mobility can support athletic performance, everyday movement, and the ability to stay active throughout life.

Low back pain and sciatica
Neck and upper back pain

"Dr. Tivy is more than a Chiropractor, she is total health doctor! Whenever in the last 10 years I’ve had a question about any health concern she has been an amazing resource! Her practice on top of that is nothing like any others you have experienced! I am always skeptical but she has proven me wrong and has “fixed” me on dozens of occasions and has kept me golfing at the highest level of my life thus far! Fabulous work ethic and knowledge!"
-Nancy K.
"Having never tried chiropractic care, I reached out to Dr Tivy after a massage therapist told me she thought a chiropractor could help with my chronic neck/shoulder pain and headaches. After the initial exam, Dr Tivy explained how she thought she could help and I began treatments. I was amazed when I had almost immediate results that just continued to improve - including low back pain that has disappeared. I am feeling so much better now - and working out again without pain - but I still appreciate the benefit of regular adjustments to keep me feeling my best. Easy on-line scheduling and appointments are a breeze - Dr Tivy is always ready for you and makes the visit fun but efficient. Wish I would have discovered the benefits of chiropractic care long ago!!"

"Dr. Tivy is the best chiropractor in the west suburbs. She is personable, kind, and knows her stuff. I take my 11 year old athlete to see her and after each adjustment my kiddo feels so much better and ready to hit the softball fields. I deal with a lot of headaches and migraines and it has been a life changer going to Dr. Tivy for adjustments."
-Jennifer H.
"Such an amazing experience. I had terrible neck and shoulder pain from working out at the gym. I could barely turn my head! After 3 sessions I was able to get back to my gym classes and after 4 sessions I was totally recovered!!! Absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Tivy! Highly Recommend!"
This is how it works
Elements of Your Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Adjustments
Hands-on chiropractic adjustments help restore healthy motion to joints that have become restricted. When joints move well, surrounding tissues experience less strain and the nervous system can function more efficiently. Adjustments are always tailored to the individual and performed with careful attention to comfort and safety.
Soft Tissue & Bodywork
Muscles and connective tissues often adapt to areas of joint restriction. Soft tissue techniques help reduce tension, improve tissue quality, and support the structural changes created through chiropractic adjustments. This work helps the body move more freely and comfortably.
Mobility & Movement Support
Restoring joint motion is only part of the process. Mobility work and simple movement strategies help reinforce healthier patterns so your body can maintain progress outside the clinic. These tools support long-term function and help you stay active in everyday life.

Individual sessions
Each visit begins with a conversation so your chiropractor can understand what brought you in and what you hope to achieve with care. This helps determine whether chiropractic care is the right fit for your needs.
Your initial visit includes a focused evaluation with chiropractic, muscular, and orthopedic assessment to better understand how your body is functioning. Initial visits are 30 minutes, with 15-minute follow-up sessions designed for efficient, hands-on care.
For those who benefit from regular chiropractic care, our wellness membership offers the greatest value. Membership is designed for patients who want consistent support for movement, spinal health, and nervous system function.
By committing to regular visits, members receive reduced per-session pricing while maintaining a steady rhythm of care that supports long-term mobility, resilience, and overall health.

Session Packages
Session packages offer a flexible option for patients who prefer to schedule care as needed. Packages are available in 5, 10, and 20 session options and can be used for follow-up visits whenever they fit into your schedule.
Many patients choose packages when working through a short series of visits or when they want convenient access to care while receiving greater value than single-session pricing.
