Jessica Petersen

I am originally from Howard City, Michigan and moved to the Chicago area in 2005 to pursue a career in chiropractic.  Upon graduation from National University of Chiropractic in 2009, I was able to begin working here at 21st Century Chiropractic; in 2015 I took over operations as the Owner and I am ready to provide my services to the community.  I believe chiropractic is an important element of living a healthy and fulfilled lifestyle.  The sense of relief that a patient has when they begin to improve after just a few visits is the most rewarding part of my job and I strive for those results for everyone that walks through our doors.

The most important thing my patients need to know about me is that I am a loving mother of two little boys, Beckett and Archer.  I enjoy spending as much time as possible with them while I am not working to help my patients.  One of my true passions outside of work is lifting weights, the adrenaline rush and satisfaction after completing a challenging workout is difficult to match.  I have completed multiple marathons and other races so if you have a question about running or how to get started, please feel free to ask during your visit. I also coach at my crossfit gym three mornings a week.   I find the workouts very rewarding and challenging.
