About Dr. Vaughn
In my 20 years of practice as a chiropractor, I have helped thousands of people around Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg, IL, regain their health utilizing chiropractic, nutrition, exercise therapy and personalized care. My office is not a production line. I spend time with each patient and consider their recovery of utmost importance. My adjusting technique has been honed over the past 20 years, and I have several chiropractors as patients as testament. I specialize in extremity adjusting (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles/feet as well as TMJ).
I am originally from Sonoma Valley wine country, Calif. I received my B.S. in Kinesiology from UCLA in 1986 and my D.C. from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1989. While at UCLA, I completed over 3000 hours in the athletic training room on the sports medicine staff and worked with many All-American, Olympic and future Professional athletes. In addition, I ran Track and played Lacrosse, being voted team captain my senior year. I relocated to the Chicagoland area in 1989 and opened my first office in Schaumburg, IL in 1990. I have practiced in the Northwest Illinois suburbs ever since.
I have post-graduate certifications as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and am Certified in the Care of Elite and Professional Athletes (CEPA). I have been the chiropractic team physician for 3 local high schools since 1994. In addition, I have been the local team chiropractor for the Coors Light Professional Cycling Team and treated current and former professional athletes from the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears and Schaumburg Flyers minor league baseball team.
On a personal note, I am currently re-building my practice after a series of personal tragedies. I am in my 5th office since 2005, but plan on staying at this location. If you're a patient who has been trying to find me, but have been unable to do so, hopefully this website will help!
I spend my free time with my children, Sydney, Nicolas and Erik, watching and coaching their baseball and softball teams, playing golf and going to movies. I work out regularly and enjoy lifting weights, cycling and playing softball.
