MEET DR. LAUREN
The appeal of functionality is seeing patients who appeared mentally healthy on the outside, but didn’t feel that way on the inside. Helping others fulfills her dream of being a healthcare professional in a totally unique field.
Dr. Lauren DeStephano
Dr. Lauren DeStephano knew she wanted to become a doctor at a young age. Growing up watching her father inspired her to pursue a career that involved helping people beyond their symptoms and facilitating optimal health. After being introduced to functional neurology, she had found her path. She graduated from Indiana University in 2016 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Biology. Afterwards, she attended Parker University in Dallas, Texas to obtain her Doctorate of Chiropractic while completing her functional neurology training through the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies. She was also a member of the Neurology Club at Parker where she served as a club officer for 8 trimesters.
During school and training, Dr. Lauren’s passion for functional neurology was fueled by watching patients with “invisible illnesses” finally regain their health after finding no success with traditional medicine. After she passed the American Chiropractic Neurology Board Exam and graduated from chiropractic school in December of 2019, she officially became a Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Neurologist. Dr. Lauren thoroughly enjoys treating patients and educating them on the brain’s amazing ability to change and heal itself. She is currently treating patients at the Spring Grove and downtown Chicago locations.
“When you ask them how they’re feeling after a few months,” says Dr. Lauren, “they say, ‘it’s like night and day. I feel one hundred times better than I did when I walked in the door.’ That is really what inspired me about this line of work.”
