Wontaek Hwang, DC (NUCCA Chiropractor)

Every day, I meet people who have been searching for answers to their neurological symptoms, often being told that their pain is “all in their head.” I’m here to tell you that your symptoms are real, your concerns are valid, and there is hope.

Millions of people struggle to find the underlying cause of their neurological issues. That’s exactly why I’ve dedicated my career to this specialized field. Through precise upper cervical care, we can often address the root cause rather than simply masking symptoms.

NUCCA Wellness Clinic of Chicago, 2018 (Chicago, IL)

My first career in upper cervical care began in 2018 when I joined Dr. Young H. Chung at the NUCCA Wellness Clinic of Chicago. Those formative years as an associate were incredibly rewarding. I had the privilege of helping over 1,200 patients between 2018 and 2022, and every success story reinforced my passion and reminded me why I continue to pursue this specialized care.

Head and Neck Spinal Care, 2022 (Wheeling, IL)

I took the leap and opened Head and Neck Spinal Care with a focused mission: to raise awareness about the importance of proper head and neck alignment. Since then, my practice has become a place of hope for individuals suffering from chronic headaches, dizziness, and various neurological health challenges. The trust you’ve placed in my NUCCA care has been truly humbling.

HealthSmart, 2025 (Northbrook, IL)

HealthSmart has long been recognized as a historic NUCCA practice in Northbrook, serving the community for decades. I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining this legacy of caring practice starting this July. This transition allows me to focus more on what matters most. I’m here to help, and I’m more committed than ever to providing the exceptional care you deserve.
