History of Why Dr. Malooley Became a Chiropractor   

At 17 years of age, Dr. Malooley was working a summer job in a gravel pit and developed an infection on his skin from an adverse reaction to the lime in the gravel.  That infection infiltrated his bloodstream, settled in his spine (osteomyelitis), and nearly killed him.  After months in the hospital, he survived- but the scar tissue that remained where the infection once resided left him in chronic pain for years to follow.  Fed up with muscle relaxers and pain pills that only masked the problem, Dr. Malooley decided to try Chiropractic.  After his first adjustment, he felt instant relief because the adjustment released the chronic fixation that remained after his spinal infection! After about a month of treatment, his symptoms resolved and his quality of life significantly improved. Needless to say, Dr. Malooley became passionate about Chiropractic and realized his purpose in life was to help others as he was helped.

Being a graduate of the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic, places him within a select group of elite Practitioners. Beyond that, Dr. Malooley has extensive training in Chiropractic Orthopedics and Active Release Technique; thus allowing him to be a Diagnostic Specialist of Muscle-Medicine and a Master Practitioner of Manual Therapy

Humanitarian Service: In 2008, Dr. Malooley traveled to the Fijian Islands on a humanitarian mission to provide healthcare to the poverty stricken native islanders. In just 6 clinic days, he and his team helped over 2,000 Fijians.  Dr. Malooley donates his time and money to various philanthropic organizations and strives to make a positive impact on his community.

Professional Athletes: Dr. Malooley has trained with the team Chiropractors of the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets. They have instructed him in Active Release Technique, a precise method of treating muscles & joints.  In 2009, Dr. Malooley was the Official Chiropractor for the undefeated, league champion Chicago Slaughter Professional Arena Football Team.  He continues to work with athletes of all caliber, keeps them healthy, and trains them to perform at their optimal level.

I never knew I could feel so good.  I have been to Chiropractors before, but they never were able to fix the problem.  Dr. Malooley's full body approach to healthcare works and I have never been happier!!

Headaches were keeping me from enjoying my life.  I couldn't play with my 3 children or spend time with my husband because I would always have to be in a dark, quiet room when my headaches would come on.  Medication was not helping and I was miserable.  My friend told me about how Dr. Malooley had helped her brother with his headaches, so I decided to give him a try.  Needless to say, I have not had a debilitating headache in over a year!! When I feel like I might be getting a headache, I simply call the office and they get me right in.  Thanks for giving me my life back!

Golf was my daily hobby since retirement 4 years ago.  I hurt my low-back and couldn't play all last year.  I heard about the athletes that Dr. Malooley has helped get back to their sport, so I called his office.  I was able to see him the next day.  I went through a Chiropractic Rehabilition program for two months in early spring.  Now, I am not afraid to swing my golf club anymore.  Dr. Malooley keeps me on the golf course where I am happy!  Thank You so much!!

My car was rearended by a drunk driver.  My neck was never the same after the whiplash.  Pain pills, physical therapy, and massage would help some- but the pain would always come back.  For about 2 years, I learned to live with the pain. My boss told me to see Dr. Malooley because of the great results she received after her accident.  We worked together on fixing my neck and eventually my pain subsided and I was able to perform the activities I used to do!  I feel like I have my life back.  I perform my exercises/stretches daily and schedule monthly visits with Dr. Malooley for maintanance care.
