Jonathan Mackoff, D.C., a Chicago native, is a holistic specialist, energy guru, spiritual mentor, and licensed Chiropractic Physician. Practicing in the River North neighborhood for 20+ years, his focus is on the integration and utilization of the body, mind, and spirit to create a healthy and fulfilling life experience.

​

Dr. Mackoff’s journey into health started in his teens when he found that fitness and sports helped energize him and improved his focus. He began to feel a pull towards healing and following high school, enrolled at Arizona State University; studying Pre-Med Biology and Pre-Med Zoology before settling into Psychology and graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science.

 

As a cheerleader in college he encountered an injury. After an unsuccessful experience with the school’s Athletic Department, a friend referred him to a Chiropractor, Dr. Robert Pulse. Working with Dr. Pulse proved helpful as he not only tended to the muscles that were injured but approached the Neurological System and other parts of the body. Dr. Pulse had asked him about his direction in life and suggested Jonathan  observe his work. Soon after, Dr. Pulse ordered him a syllabus and registration form to the National College of Chiropractic.  As his intuition evolved, something about a natural means to healing resonated with him, and he began exploring this path.

Upon leaving Arizona State, Jonathan entered the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois. He graduated in 1998 and went on to offer house-visits while continuing his education. This decision led him to embark on a Postdoctoral Rehabilitation Diplomate Program as well as a Postdoctoral Orthopedic Program. He later went on to instruct for the rehabilitation diplomate program at National University of Health Sciences (formerly National College of Chiropractic), as well as Southern California University of Health Sciences.

​

Mackoff Chiropractic officially opened for business in January 2000. As Dr. Mackoff’s practice progressed, so did his curiosity, and he began taking energy-related courses on subjects of Applied Kinesiology, Muscle Testing, Matrix Energetics, Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) and Total Body Modification (TBM). It was during one of these seminars that he realized he could use what was being taught to create his own methods, opening him up to his unique gifts.

 

Dr. Mackoff’s own journey in healing has led him to see the importance of integrating the aspects of the mind, body, spirit and life. The inability to learn from experiences creates energetic blocks that can manifest physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, and relationally. He believes that with an awareness of the patterns causing these hindrances, a person can alter their self-limiting beliefs and ultimately move forward, to not only achieve, but surpass their goals of a happy and healthy life.
