Meeting through a mutual patient in 2009, Alicia and Michelle immediately joined forces with the mission to explore the synergistic benefits of multiple services, therapeutic modalities, and holistic philosophies. Having both worked within Wicker Park and the Ukrainian Village, respectively, the women's collaborative vision became a reality in 2009, when a two-room clinic at 1630 W. Division was transformed into a warm and welcoming wellness center thanks to an upstairs addition of five state-of-the-art treatment rooms. They sought out like-minded practitioners with the same passionate commitment to natural healing and integrated healthcare.
The result is a neighborhood clinic as unique and special as its Wicker Park locale! Exuding a heartfelt Midwestern friendliness, the women's genuine dedication to their patients overall wellbeing sets the standard for their small staff of kind and seasoned practitioners. They adhere to their own principles of vibrantly healthy living by receiving regular acupuncture sessions, chiropractic adjustments, and massage treatments, and give back to the Wicker Park neighborhood through event-based fundraising and charity initiatives.

Chiropractic
Report
A chiropractic spinal adjustment the application of a precise force to a specific part of the spinal segment corrects the misalignment, permitting normal nerve transmission and assisting your body to recuperate on its own. It also helps to relieve pain, stabilize and mobilize joints, balance the muscular system and promote optimal body function.
Acupuncture
Report
In a healthy body, blood and Qi, flow freely like a river through the body's landscape via meridians. The meridian system is like a highly complex electrical circuit. Acupuncture points lying along the meridians are epicenters where the body's Qi (electricity) gathers. Metal needles inserted into these points act as conductors to move, tonify and drain Qi, returning the body to a state of health. Accessory modalities include cupping, gua sha, electro-stimulation, moxabustion, and herbal medicine.
Massage
Report
Therapeutic massage differs from a spa massage in that it is more clinical and intended to address the deeper muscles of the body and underlying imbalances. Our therapists have extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology. They act as pain detectives working various muscles groups with a variety of modalities until the root cause of dysfunction is addressed.

Had a wonderful experience at Division Chiro! The front staff is very friendly and personable and made me feel welcomed on my first visit. Then I met Dr. Thompson, who was just as friendly and personable and took time to listen to all my concerns and made sure to explain step by step what she would do and what I would feel, it was my first chiro session so I really appreciated her. She addressed all my concerns at the first session, and I look forward to continuing treatment with her.

I started going to Division Chiropractic & Acupuncture a few months ago, and after several visits with Dr. Mazgaloff I not only started having less pain, but was given the tools to maintain my health on my own. Today, I not only have worked through correcting the bump at the base of my neck, but have been pain free for several months now. I'm so appreciative of Dr. Mazgaloff and the team at Division Chiropractic & Acupuncture, and look forward to many more years going to them.

Back in October of 2021, I went to Chiro for my lower back injury from weightlifting. Thanks to Chiro, I've been able to get back to the gym and now I am able to weightlifting 5 times a week and do cardio exercises 4 times a week. Most importantly, I've learned exercises and stretches I could do to prevent back injuries in the future.

I love Dr. Maz! She is amazing and has definitely fixed/assisted with getting my back, back into working shape! I still have the occasional twinge and soreness, but if you saw me back in August, you would know that I was barely walking and wanted to cry at the thought of walking. Serena is so sweet and helpful with the scheduling and billing.

I saw Dr. Naveed for the first time today and has a great experience. The office is clean and all the staff is friendly. Dr. Naveed took her time to do a full consultation and then started to work on some low back pain I have been having. She treated the whole back for a holistic approach and was much more through than other chiropractors i have seen. I look forward to going back again soon!

I love Michelle Young! If I could give more than five stars I would. Her acupuncture has hugely improved my allergies, immune system and food sensitivity issues by leaps and bounds in such a short time. Amazing after every treatment how much better I feel inside and out. I wish I would've come to her years and years ago! I always feel like I'm her only patient/client - she really listens and has the most calming demeanor. Highly recommend 100000%!

Have been coming in to see Hana for chiropractic and Sarah for acupuncture for 4 months now. They are friendly efficient and effective and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Will be making this a part of my monthly self care routine going forward. I didn't realize how much I needed their help until I started going regularly.

I looove this place. I should've probably started seeing a chiropractor a decade ago, but never too late. Dr. Naveed has been working on my back since the summer and it's been life changing. I also started seeing Alison for massage, and holy shit, she is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. Her hands just gravitate to the areas that need the most work. These ladies are giving my back new life! I've also seen Dr. Thompson for chiropractic, and Aaron for massage. They are also wonderful. Highly recommend this practice!

I am really glad I found a place to go to for my acupuncture and chiropractic needs. The administrators/ front staff are always prompt, and friendly. The clinic environment is clean and very soothing/ calming. Sarah, for acupuncture is gentle and thorough in her assessment. I can see myself going back for regular maintenance. Dr. Hernandez, Chiropractor, took her time in understanding why I was there and provided a very comprehensive treatement plan.
I am looking forward to healing my back with this team! The only area of improvement is the paperwork and also online portal seems clunky as there are limitations to what the patient is able to do. its still better to just call in to make appointments, and/or updates to appointments. Other than that. this place is great!

Very friendly and helpful administrative staff. Dr. Hanna Naveed is a great chiropractor. She is gentle, but can get everything moving and in place in no time! She is thoughtful personally and professionally. I couldn't recommend her enough! I haven't used their other services, but I have heard great things about them!

I was able to book a same-day massage with Jenni after experiencing worsening chronic lower back pain and finding Division Chiropractic on Yelp. She listened to my history and symptoms and then proceeded to address all of my concerns. It was a wonderful deep tissue therapeutic massage and for the first time in months, I was able to sleep through the whole night without having to adjust to avoid pain. I am grateful for having found Jenni and already booked a follow-up appointment as well as a first-time patient chiro appointment.

I have too many good things to say about Division Chiropractic. A chiropractor that no longer works there changed my life with my chronic back problems (thank you, Dr. John), and Ada, the world's best massage therapist, continues to improve my world each month. Ada gives my body a restart and a refresh every time I get a massage from her. I've been through many massage therapists and I plan to stay with Ada as long as I possibly can. Today, I left with a little more life in me than when I arrived.

I scheduled a deep tissue massage. Halfway through, the therapist told me that my muscles were too tense and mentioned many times that her hands were going to tire out before the hour was up. She performed Chinese cupping on me without asking my permission, and simply stated that my muscles were too tense for her and she needed to perform this procedure.
At the very end of my massage she told me that the cupping marks would stay on for 2 to 3 days. I would have liked to know this BEFORE the cupping took place. The bruises ended up staying for over a week. This was particularly frustrating considering these are summer months and the bruises were very visible. And more importantly, I never wanted the cupping performed in the first place, I only wanted a deep tissue massage.

Division Chiropractic & Acupuncture has helped me take charge of my wellness and provided me with the resources to be in better tune with what my body tells me about my health. The practitioners are upfront about treatment and work hard to educate patients about new stretches or techniques to work through an ailment. They are patient and practical and provide excellent resources as needed to treat the whole self, not just a current issue.
I'm an all-around healthier person with a better understanding of my body's signals thanks to the excellent care I've received from the team at Division Chiropractic & Acupuncture! I can't say enough good things about this practice!

This place is beyond wonderful. I had it recommended to me by multiple people and it far exceeded my expectations. I came with a specific neck issue and have returned multiple times. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave it is a very warm, welcoming and progressional place. You fill out a somewhat lengthy questionnaire about what brought you there but it's totally worth it because this allows the professional to get started more quickly.
They still start with a consultation to make sure they understand what the issue is and what you hope to get out of the session. Everyone that I've seen there has magical hands. I've literally leave the office feeling like I'm walking in clouds. They also educate you on additional your issue and give suggestions and advice on additional things you can do to help yourself.

We love Dr. Alicia and the whole team at Division Chiropractic! My husband and I regularly go to the Chiropractor. As a licensed massage therapist, I know the value a great chiropractor and having Dr. Alicia as my doctor as helped me greatly since my line of work is very stressful on my body. I should note that I do not work at DC but I recommend all of my massage clients to Dr. Alicia and her team.
If you are looking for a chiropractor that you'll feel safe with, that will not pressure you into appointments and will change your life in pain.this is the place! Going to DC regularly even when I don't think I need an adjustment has changed my life for the better. I hope it changes yours too.

I have struggled with intense muscle spasms in my shoulder for the past couple of years. I started seeing Dr. Megan a few months ago and I'm doing so much better! I haven't needed muscle relaxers since seeing her and every appointment she checks in on life updates in relationship to my health and then makes adjustments to my care as needed. Additionally my sister came from out of town and saw Dr. John.
He was very thorough and thoughtful in regards to pain caused from dog grooming, did an examination, did an adjustment and a referral for care in her area. Also an awesome experience. Highly recommend this place for back care!

Dr. John has been my only doctor for all of my chiropractic visits. His advice and my 2 time a month visits are life changing. I am back on the basketball court and into the gym. Not only does he provide remedies for common body aches, he also provides advice to change daily movements and sitting posture. Which ultimately have a positive impact in the long run.

I cannot believe that I haven't written a review for this amazing clinic until now!! I need regular chiropractic care due to a lumbar spinal fusion I had in 2014. I have also found acupuncture to be very helpful in managing my pain and reducing my anxiety. I moved back to Chicago after living in Seattle for three years and needed to re-engage with care. Fortunately for me, I found Dr. Alicia's and Michelle's wonderful practice.
Even though I was an experienced chiropractic patient, Dr. Alicia explained to me in depth about how she practices (every doctor is a little different) when I got my first adjustment with her. I told her then that she would be the PERFECT doctor for a first time chiropractic patient. If you're in pain and you've never seen a chiropractor before, don't hesitate to see Dr. Alicia.
I am confident that she will take the best care of you. She is intelligent, experienced, compassionate, and collaborative. I have never felt pressured at her office to come more often than is necessary for me or than I'm comfortable with. I have seen many chiropractors since my surgery, and she is an excellent doctor, one of the best in my experience. Michelle is one of the acupuncturists and the co-owner of the practice. Dr. Alicia initially recommended I see Michelle because of my back pain, nerve pain, anxiety, and stress (I am a grad student). I now see Michelle every week and have had amazing success with her treatments. These women have truly enhanced my quality of life and I am so grateful for them.

Valerie and John are miracle workers. I broke my jaw a few years back and suffer from really bad TMJ and they helped me get to where my neck and jaw are leaps and bounds from where they were before starting treatment. Super friendly service and very nice space as well. Valerie also hooked me up with a yoga routine. I could not recommend this place more.

Dr Jon is great! He listened very carefully to all of my issues and worked with me slowly to figure out the main problem and find a solution that I can work on myself. Unlike chain chiropractors, he did not give me an xray and start adjusting my back forcefully right away. This has happened to me in the past and it felt like a 1 and done who is next sort of situation. Jon approached my neck and back pain responsibly by listening and making adjustments slowly until we were certain it would help and not hurt.
I can say only after a couple of sessions my neck pain is 95% gone and my lower back pain is 90% gone. And if I feel like I might get the pain again due to too much bending or lifting, I have tools to make the pain go away. This is LIFE CHANGING. I can focus at work, I get more things done and I am more active without my pain and with more range of motion. Thanks Dr Jon and staff at Division!

This place is amazing. The prenatal massages were extremely restorative. I also did acupuncture to induce labor and sure enough, I went into labor the day of my induction! Also for the past 2 years, they have generously donated their services to raise money for a local charity with a mission to empower women. Not only are they providing amazing health services to women but also actively supporting the community.

I initially started going for acupuncture at this practice because my insurance covered it...(yes, I know -- #blessed).
Well, that gravy train of benefits ended and even still I continue to come here and pay out of pocket, because it is GREAT. I see Cassie and Michelle for acupuncture, and every time it is lovely. Calm, effective, professional. A 1-hour power healing nap is how I like to think of it.
Scheduling is always a snap, and their front desk is friendly and kind.
I've never had to wait. Street parking only (DO NOT park in adjacent MB Financial lot), but I never have a hard time finding a metered spot. It's steps from the Division blue line and accessible by several bus routes (Milwaukee, Ashland, Division).
Also, there's Scone City next door in the event you are early -- enjoy a great scone and coffee/tea while you wait!

I'm not 22 anymore, but there's no way my 5 yr old nephew is gonna drive to the board on me on the Nerf 'hoop. Some of the abuse I cause to my bod while I dunk over his 3'2 frame can really take a toll on me. This is when the team at Division Chiro come to the rescue. Before coming here, the only experience with a chiro was from watching 2 1/2 Men. yeah not great.
I finally came here about 5 yr ago, and it makes a world of a difference. So, if you are feeling a bit off, maybe it's time you cam to see what relief is on the body. This way, there's no stopping your game!

Big fan of Division Chiropractic & Acupuncture. I have only gone for acupuncture, but Rebecca and Michelle both do a wonderful job. Their location has ample street parking, their rooms are comfortable and they music they play isn't that annoying asian flute stuff you get at some places (although you can ask for it you would like). I am always super relaxed when I leave and usually within a couple treatments they have been able to help with what ails me. And while I have yet to go for a massage, I would do so in a heartbeat. I only wished I still lived close. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Dr. Megan is amazing and her adjustments always help with my hips and lower back problems. I've been to other chiropractors who want to pre-set a treatment schedule (one wanted me in 3x/week!!) dr. Megan always makes it clear she wants to listen to what my body wants and not overcharge me with redundant visits. I've also had Alyssa and sherry for massages.
Both are so skilled in different ways, definitely worth the experience. Every time I've called to schedule appointments or even initially to check benefits, everyone I've spoken to has been so helpful and friendly. There are a couple 1-star reviews on here about poor customer service; completely unfounded. I was even that horrible patient who has to reschedule 4x on one call (I apologized profusely) and the woman working with me was nothing but gracious.

I have two herniated discs and acupuncture has consistently helped when I have a flare up. I had a bad experience here in Chicago with an acupuncturist and I get a little woozy with needles. Thank goodness I found Samara!!! She is so gentle and soothing, just being around her makes me feel relaxed. I've seen her off and on for the last year when I have a flare up, and she has consistently helped relieve my pain. She is wonderful and I would see her for any/all other issues if something came up.

I have been meaning to write a review for such a long time. I have been getting deep tissue massages from Sherry for several months now and she is the best massage therapist I've ever had. If you have chronic soreness and want actual relief as opposed to sensory Swedish massage, then Sherry is your girl. She really has made a difference in my body!
Now I can actually start trying to think about my posture and other issues besides shoulder and neck tightness all the time. I have also visited with Dr. Megan Thompson who is a wonderful chiropractor. She gives me a little rub down before each adjustment to get my body warmed up. Gotta love that. These guys know what they are doing and will help you!
I went on vacation once and got a massage from this Not-Sherry character, and I was so disappointed. I came back and told her she has ruined other massage therapists for me. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else!

I started with a consultation by Dr. Cohler, she was so thorough and listened to all my issues. After taking the time to talk through everything with me she suggested I start seeing Jenny for therapeutic massage. Jenny is very very experienced and put me at ease right away. She knows the body and after just one visit she knew how to help me. Massages like this are not exactly enjoyable (deep tissue work and breaking up scar tissue is painful) but I do look forward to my visits because they help me so much throughout the work week! The front desk staff is lovely as well!

I'm new to acupuncture but it was something I've always wanted to start up and make a regular part of my wellness program. A shoulder injury set me over the edge and got me to finally make an appointment. I met with Michelle and knew almost instantly that I was hooked.
Michelle, the space, and her practice are top-notch. Not only does my shoulder feel 100x better but I look forward to my weekly appointments to recharge, relax, and reconnect with my body. I wish I could give Michelle and the team at Division 10 stars--they're truly the best.

I've gone to Division Chiropractic for an assessment, acupuncture and massage. I feel very taken care of and listened to with each practitioner I see. I always leave the building feeling incredible, and in a great mood. Would highly recommend this establishment. And it's a women-run business! A huge plus!

I've been going to Divison Chiropractic and Acupuncture for quite a few years now and my chronic back pain that was ailing me for years has gone away. I moved away from the area, but I'm able to go in once a month, which helps me maintain good back health. Michelle Young has helped me a great deal with acupuncture and she is my go-to person for any questions about my general health. Alicia Cohler and Paula Halfman really got my back to a great place with chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage. I highly recommend Division Chiropractic and Acupuncture. The practitioners there really care about your health and I always leave there feeling amazing.
