ABOUT LINCOLN HEALTH & WELLNESS
Lincoln Health & Wellness Center, located on Chicago’s north side, is committed to providing quality health care to patients of all ages with a focus on chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation, nutritional management and counseling, and general wellness coaching and education.
We believe that every patient’s condition is unique and requires a similarly unique treatment approach. We provide a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of each patient and create a holistic treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs and goals. We teach patients to become active partners in their own healthcare by educating them in addition to treating them.
Our ultimate goal is to help our patients achieve and maintain wellness. We remind patients that health is much more than the absence of disease. We facilitate our patients in achieving an optimal level of function and improving quality of life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide quality, holistic, integrated healthcare that not only meets, but exceeds your expectations.
We are committed to improving the health of our patients and their families. We strive to identify and correct the cause of your health problem, and not just to treat the symptoms.
We don’t stop searching for solutions until you’ve gotten the results you’re looking for.Dr. Anastasia Akrivos
