Dr. Jim Sronkoski, DC
10+ Years of Experience • 50,000+ Patients Served
My journey into health and wellness started in middle school when my gym teacher boldly pronounced, "If you do not take care of your body through diet and exercise you will suffer the consequences of disease." That scared me enough to start watching what I ate. I gave up soda and started lifting weights. Through high school I became more interested in anatomy and weight lifting, which led me to pursue my degree in Kinesiology at Northern Illinois University. At NIU, I joined the rugby team and was introduced to chiropractic when I hurt my shoulder. Through chiropractic and soft tissue techniques, my shoulder was better after a couple sessions. The more I learned about chiropractic, the more I knew it was the path for me -- then I figured out I could play rugby at Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa and become a chiropractor, and I was sold.
After graduating in 2016, I worked as an associate for the chiropractor who had helped me in college. While there I learned the power of combining chiropractic with physiotherapy. Currently, as director of BrightLife Clinic in Lombard, I recognize the benefit of combining services. Whether it's chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, decompression, posture correction, or cold laser therapy, each patient's treatment plan is tailored to fit their current needs. My team and I look forward to providing the highest quality care while helping our patients return to living healthy lifestyles with the least amount of pain as possible. While not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children.
