Meet Dr. Dale Zuehlke

From Personal Healing to a Lifelong Calling

Dr. Zuehlke’s first experience with chiropractic care happened when he was just four years old. After his leg gave out suddenly, polio was suspected. But it wasn’t the hospital that resolved the issue—it was the family chiropractor, who found a pinched nerve in his hip. That moment stuck.

Lincoln Park chirorpactor Dr DaleYears later, as a young adult battling severe migraines, Dr. Zuehlke found relief again through chiropractic. His chiropractor recognized his natural hands-on talent and encouraged him to pursue the field. At the time, Dr. Zuehlke had tried other paths—real estate, retail, politics—but nothing felt right. In 1979, he enrolled at the National College of Chiropractic. By 1987, he had opened his own practice on Diversey Avenue, where he remains today.

“My goal is to keep care effective, direct, and affordable.”

He still uses paper files. Greets every patient himself. And makes sure each visit is as useful as it is comfortable. Most patients appreciate the honest, no-nonsense approach, and many stick around for decades. It’s care that respects your time and your budget.

Dr. Zuehlke believes in doing what works—no more, no less. He avoids rigid care plans, high-pressure sales tactics, and unnecessary imaging. If you’re in pain, he wants to help. His philosophy is grounded in practical, straightforward care: identify the issue, provide hands-on treatment, and get you feeling better as soon as possible.
