The Hillside Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Hillside

Introducing Hillside Chiropractor Dr. Dana Celar

Have you always thought that chiropractors only treat low back pain? Thats what I used to think as well. Let me tell you my story...

I grew up in Niagara Falls, Canada. In high school I was a pitcher on the softball team when I began having pain in my right pitching shoulder. Pain medication would just upset my stomach, and did not provide much relief anyway. Muscle relaxors just made me drowsy all day, which I didn't like either.

A friend of mine recommended that I see a chiropractor. I was surprised, since I thought "chiropractors only treat low back pain". I thought I would give it a try because I was desperate for relief so that I could continue to pitch. After a few visits, my shoulder pain began to resolve, and I was able to pitch without pain, or any medications. I was so impressed with the results, that I decided to become a chiropractor as well!

After graduating from the University of Western Ontario, I attended the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois. Soon after receiving my Doctor of Chiropractic degree, I began working as an associate doctor at the current Celar Chiropractic location. When the main doctor decided to retire, I jumped at the opportunity to continue to work with my current patients and bought the practice in 2004.

Since then, I have strived to create a warm, friendly family practice that treats patients of all ages. I especially enjoy helping children and pregnant women. I love that we can offer a safe and effective option to those who do not want to be dependent on traditional medicine.

I recently had my first child, a beautiful daughter named Sienna. Besides my family, my interests include running, working out, and eating out at the many great Chicago restaurants.

Now that you know a little about me, I look forward to meeting you and your family as well. Please feel free to contact us today!
