Dr. Victor W. Dapkus is a Board-Certified Chiropractic physician who is excited to have joined the team at The Joint located in Northbrook in 2017. He has over 20 years of experience in the chiropractic and medical field. He was inspired to become a chiropractor while working at a medical facility. He noticed physicians would first treat patients with prescriptions for their pain and/or other conditions. He believes there is a way to treat a patient that is not entirely dependent on medication or immediate invasive surgery. The best part of being in the chiropractic field is to find ways for people to regain and maintain optimal quality of life.
In addition to operating a successful chiropractic clinic in Chicago, IL for 14 years, Dr. Vic was involved in aquatic rehabilitation. He instructed and coached a group of patients for competitive swimming and helped others become physically stronger and more mobile. Dr. Vic is also an active board member of Louis Valentine's Boys and Girls Club. He volunteers by taking special needs children fishing, serving meals to the less fortunate and participating in annual fundraisers.
In 1999, Dr. Vic earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL. He is a current member of the Illinois Chiropractic Association, the Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association and has received several achievement awards.
He enjoys swimming, traveling and spending quality time with his wife, Carol, and two wonderful daughters, Alli and Lauren. Dr. Vic looks forward to being responsive to patient needs and help them achieve their individual health goals.
