Both a licensed massage therapist and licensed aesthetician, Keina Quinn aims to de-stress and beautify the body with various massage modalities, facials, and depilatory services. Working as an independent contractor out of Body Sense Wellness Center’s second-floor studio, Quinn draws upon her education from the Cortiva Institute and Naperville Skin Institute as she administers pampering therapies from head to fully relaxed toe. Deep-tissue, Swedish, and hot-stone massages relieve tension and improve circulation, and waxing and threading banish unwanted hairs. Quinn's expert hands customize each treatment to the client's individual needs, making the session a unique and healing experience.

For three decades, LCD Spinal Care has offered patients of all ages comprehensive chiropractic care. Led by Dr. Edgar Ruble, the staff uses classic chiropractic techniques alongside more advanced equipment to move clients toward a less tired, more robust state. Traction massage and nonsurgical decompression work to relieve problems rooted in the back, spine, or neck. On the more technical end of the spectrum, auriculotherapy, a treatment that stimulates the ear with a laser, can help patients conquer burdensome tobacco addictions or a disbelief in laser pointers.

Elite Rehab Institute’s chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and physical therapists may not share the same specialties, but they all have one thing in common: a belief in the efficacy of holistic medicine. At each of the clinic’s six locations, staffers work together to relieve aches and pains caused by conditions such as stress, asthma, and arthritis. Their multidisciplinary approach ensures care from multiple doctors at a decreased cost as well as access to advanced treatments. Chief among these treatments are active-release technique—a soft-tissue massage that relieves pain in overused muscles—and the four-step ideal-protein weight-loss program, which helps shed pounds by stabilizing blood sugars and injecting muscles with daily shots of helium.

With two locations in Battle Creek, Vision Center At Meijer's eye mavens outfit more than 700 frames with lenses carefully crafted in their own laboratory to specifically suit the eyes and face of each patient. Professionally administered eye exams determine the prescription strength required to correct eyeball anomalies, and the laboratory can upgrade any lens with tints, Transitions, or antireflective coatings that save one from endless staring contests with one's own eyes.

Dr. Ghassan Abboud believes that if a business is a good member of the community and helps those around it, success will follow—a philosophy he explained during his interview with Naperville Community Television, Channel 17. It was this approach—doing things such as helping people with financing and offering free dental care to those in need on certain days—that allowed Abboud to expand from one 1st Family Dental office in 1996 to 10 offices in the Chicagoland area.

1st Family Dental believes in providing all patients—insured and uninsured—with affordable, high-quality dental care in an appealing setting at the hands of friendly, talented doctors and staff. The practice’s dentists have also helped draw in patients with their multiple awards, their credentials in everything from maxillofacial surgery to orthodontics to prosthodontics, and their refusal to use duct tape to attach crowns. Their cosmetic-dentistry services let clients revamp their smiles with Zoom! whitening treatments and let dental implants replace any missing teeth. The 1st Family Dental experts practice dentistry for the whole family, teaching young ones how to clean their teeth without having to smile while walking through a car wash.
