Dr. John Wascow, DC, Northbrook, IL | Chiropractor

About Dr. John Wascow

From a young age, Dr. John excelled in sports. But striving to be the best often led to injuries. From broken fingers to a broken elbow, injuries were always something that needed to be addressed. After being exposed to countless doctors, trainers, and therapists, his interest in helping people recover from injuries began. Upon graduation from high school, Dr. John pursued a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In college, his studies were a top priority. This focus allowed him to graduate with honors and shaped Dr. John into the student- and research-oriented person he is today. He strongly believes in therapies that have been proven effective through research. Therefore, he takes research on specific injuries and conditions seriously. A couple of years after graduation, Dr. John formed an amateur motorcycle racing team with his older brother and his college roommate. In his first full year of racing, his team won two track championships, three class championships, over 20 combined first-place race finishes, and over 100 combined top-five finishes. But perhaps the most significant injury and “defining moment” that transformed his desire to help athletes and people into a passion occurred on March 23, 2003. On this day, Dr. John was racing in St. Louis, IL, and was involved in a multiple-bike crash that sent him to the hospital with a life-threatening injury. His struggles and pain during this experience will never be forgotten and have fueled his desire to help people get out of pain so they can live their lives. Dr. John channeled this desire by going back to school and completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL. He is a board-certified chiropractor and is licensed to perform acupuncture in the state of Illinois.
