Lifetime Health & Wellness

Dr. Michelle Dougherty is a Board Certified Chiropractic Physician who serves the communities of Naperville, Plainfield, Aurora, Oswego & Bolingbrook. Dr. Dougherty earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biobehavioral Health from Pennsylvania State University where she met her husband. Her calling for Chiropractic came to fruition her final year at Penn State when she learned about alternative health care approaches that work with the body and that there was, in fact, a name…a profession…a way of life that coincided with her philosophy that was instilled in her at a young age. She quickly understood that Chiropractic was more than just a back/neck pain/headache remedy but it works to help restore function to the organs, glands, and muscles by removing nerve interference so that the brain can effectively communicate with the rest of the body. Dr. Dougherty went on to attend world-renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA and earned her Doctorate in 2006. She has advanced studies in pediatric care, perinatal care, functional endocrinology, and nutrition. She attributes regular Chiropractic adjustments as her secret weapon for her active lifestyle. An avid tennis player and lover of the outdoors, she also cherishes time spent with her husband, baby boy and dog. Additionally, she helps keep her mind and body energized by incorporating a whole-food based diet, yoga, and periodic nutritional cleansing.
