Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Vartan Chakalian, Doctor of Chiropractic
Member of International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) Member of Illinois Chiropractic Society
Dr. Vartan grew up in Huntington Beach, California. His health journey began when he started seeing his Chiropractor at the age of 10. Since a child, he's been involved in many sports and activities and was naturally getting hurt like any kid would with that level of activity. However, his passion for Chiropractic truly began when his Chiropractic adjustments greatly improved his allergies. Even after getting his adenoids removed to help his congestion, nothing truly helped to correct the problem as well as adjustments did.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr. Vartan was searching for a way he could combine his passion for family, health, and service for others, which brought him to Chiropractic at Southern California University of Health Sciences. During his time in Chiropractic school, he was president of two clubs, traveled to Peru for a chiropractic missions trip, and began interning at various doctor's offices to learn everything he could.
Outside of the office, Dr. Vartan loves playing hockey. He enjoys spending time with his wife and family; whether it's a game night playing Settlers of Catan, or a night in downtown, he enjoys any time he gets to spend with them.
