Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments target musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions through hands-on spinal adjustments. This non-invasive approach alleviates pain from subluxations while improving nerve function. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans addressing back pain, neck injuries, and repetitive motion disorders, particularly among postal workers and federal employees.
Spinal Decompression
This advanced treatment relieves pressure on spinal discs for herniated/bulging disc sufferers. Using FDA-cleared equipment, we create negative pressure to promote disc healing and nerve decompression. Ideal for chronic back pain patients seeking non-surgical solutions, with measurable improvements seen in 4-6 weeks for most cases.
Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-rich plasma injections harness patients' own blood components to accelerate tissue repair. This cutting-edge treatment addresses tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and ligament damage. Proven effective for knee pain, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic joint conditions, often eliminating the need for surgery.
Food Sensitivity Testing
Using Daphne Labs' hair sample technology, we identify food sensitivities impacting energy levels and digestion. This precision nutrition approach helps patients overcome fatigue, bloating, and inflammatory conditions by eliminating problematic foods from their diets.
Physical Therapy
Post-injury rehabilitation combines manual therapy with exercise programs to restore mobility and strength. Our treatments target specific areas including knees, shoulders, and backs, with a focus on returning federal employees to full work capacity through functional movement patterns.

There's all these commercials on TV, podcasts, and articles talking about various kinds of painkillers. I shall not name them here-I am sure you know what I am talking about. Well, have you heard about Peak Performance Health Center on Wells in Chicago? Simply put, I walked in with pain and I walked out without pain. What more can you ask? It's been a week now and surprisingly, my shoulder is still pain free.
I am amazed at what has happened with a simple twist of the body. Given that I have been a patient at Peak Performance for almost a year now receiving effective treatments for knee and shoulder pain that work over time, it was awe inspiring to experience what the body can do given the right conditions in an instant. A Peak Performance Health Center may not work for everybody but it definitely works for me! If you really want a painkiller, visit 1749 N Wells. I am so glad I did! Dr. Arculeo and his staff are the best!

I started visiting Peak Performance in February of 2021. At first I was a little skeptical about going but the staff at Peak Performance is amazing. Before going I suffered from chronic migranes, a condition I have had to endure for over 40 years. With a combination of physical therapy and adjustments I can honestly say that I have had fewer headaches and sleep better at night. I want to thank the physical therapist for her patience and I promise to keep working so that all of her hard work doesn't go to waste.

Scientology guides the medical advice at this practice. The proprietor of this practice is less interested in his patients than he is in himself. He never remembers your name even with 2-3 visits/week. They sell you packages you pay for upfront, claiming it's better than your high deductible, then they appear to double dip with the insurance companies. It'll catch up to them eventually. I've met others who've had similar experiences here. Try any other chiropractor first or at least seek a second opinion before making any significant treatment decisions at this clown show.

I can not say anything except when I went to Peak Performance I made the best decision of my life. I was afraid I was going to need knee replacement surgery (I had some bone on bone problems). After a short 5 weeks, I am going up and down stairs, moving around like I am 20 years younger, sleeping thru the night without waking myself my moving the wrong way and experiencing horrible pain. I still have more treatments to repair my knees but I am so happy with the progress made so far. If you have osteoarthritis (which is what I have) you really need to make an appointment here before considering surgery. You will not regret it.

I recommend Peak Performance because they made me feel very comfortable and healthy in such a short time. I had terrible back pain and was immobilized for a while, but they were able to support me with resources. Each employer was so nice to me and had wonderful customer service, I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The physical therapy provided to help my pain really helped and I practice at home as well. Super great place!

Dr. Arculeo and his staff are amazing! I can't thank them enough for helping me with back and neck pain. I still have a long way to go but in one short month, I've made great progress. Dr. Arculeo definitely knows what he is doing. I complained of knee pain and he fixed it in one visit. I complained of upper inner thigh pain and it was improved after one visit. My neck is still being adjusted but I have far better range of motion now than I did before.
His office staff is friendly, accommodating, and makes you feel like family. I was running late for an appointment and Eric called to see if I was on my way. I forgot to see Syed regarding an answer before I left and he called to follow up. Dania is very helpful with introducing new exercises to alleviate my pain and increase my motion. Karen is a delightful and friendly administrator. Oh, and I can't forget Cliff, the super friendly PA that does his due diligence and is very conscientious. This is the "A-Team" people! They don't rush you, they coordinate care with other staff members, and have plenty of equipment and space to help you to be your best.
