Dr. Jackie Kotecki is chiropractic medical doctor and functional medicine practitioner dedicated to restoring the body’s innate ability to heal. With an integrative approach, she addresses the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health, identifying and treating the root causes of pain and illness.

Dr. Jackie’s journey into holistic healthcare began at Illinois State University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, building a strong foundation in mental and physical health. Her fascination with the mind-body connection led her to pursue an Associate’s degree in Massage Therapy while working at the National University of Health Sciences. These experiences deepened her understanding of the intricate relationship between psychological well-being and physical health, shaping her holistic approach to patient care.

Furthering her expertise, Dr. Jackie earned her Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine degree from the National University of Health Sciences, where she also received training in Naturopathic Medicine. Her comprehensive education and clinical training reinforced her belief in the body’s innate ability to heal when supported through natural and restorative methods.
