Our Story

Ruhe Chiropractic Health Center, established in 1989 in Frankfort, IL, brings over 30 years of expertise in chiropractic care, rehabilitation, strength training, and nutrition. Founded by Dr. Ruhe, who was inspired to become a chiropractor after a personal sports injury in high school, the clinic prioritizes thorough, personalized treatment plans for each patient. Dr. Ruhe understands the importance of addressing the root cause of injuries and helping clients not only recover but gain the tools and strength to prevent future issues.

Dr. Ruhe specializes in the Cox Flexion Distraction Technique, a proven method for alleviating lower back pain, sciatica, arthritis, pinched nerves, and bulging or herniated discs. This gentle yet effective approach distinguishes Ruhe Chiropractic from other clinics by focusing on long-term relief and addressing the core of each patient’s pain. With a commitment to precision and patient-centered care, Dr. Ruhe and his team ensure that no aspect of a patient’s health is overlooked. They consider everything from the origins of the injury to tailored plans for recovery and strengthening.

The practice offers a range of services to support patients holistically, including sports rehabilitation, strength training, and clinical nutrition. Dr. Ruhe is not only a highly skilled chiropractor but also a Certified IDOT Medical Examiner and a Clinical Nutritionist, certified by the American Clinical Board of Nutrition. This dual expertise in chiropractic care and nutrition makes Ruhe Chiropractic a comprehensive health center that understands the full scope of injury prevention and health maintenance.

Patients can expect a supportive, individualized approach at Ruhe Chiropractic Health Center. Unlike traditional “set-and-forget” chiropractic sessions, the team here believes in empowering clients to understand their bodies and treatment plans fully. Each visit is an opportunity to discuss progress, address questions, and make adjustments, ensuring optimal outcomes. Beyond the initial relief, Ruhe Chiropractic emphasizes rehabilitation to restore mobility, build strength, and safeguard against future injuries.

Dr. Ruhe’s dedication to his patients extends beyond chiropractic adjustments. His practice partners with Biotics Research Corporation to provide high-quality nutritional supplements, aiding in a patient’s overall well-being. Ruhe Chiropractic also accepts most insurance plans, offers personal injury support, and welcomes workman’s compensation cases, making it accessible for a variety of needs.

Open six days a week, including Saturdays by appointment, Ruhe Chiropractic Health Center is dedicated to the well-being of the Frankfort community. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to improve your nutrition and strength, Ruhe Chiropractic Health Center provides the experience and dedication necessary for lifelong health.
