West Suburban Wellness has shared the personal account from its founder Dr. Timothy C. Weselak, D.C., C.C.W.P., chiropractor in DuPage County, IL, detailing a high school shoulder injury that shaped his career path in chiropractic care. The narrative, drawn from Dr. Weselak's own description on the practice website, recounts the events that led to his interest in the field and the subsequent establishment of the clinic in Lombard in May 2005.
Dr. Weselak was born and raised in Lombard, Illinois, and attended Glenbard East High School, where he played on the baseball team as a pitcher. Midway through one season, severe pain developed in the front of his right shoulder. The pain intensified over time, preventing him from throwing the ball across the infield or pitching. He initially attempted to manage it with ice, heat, topical applications such as Icy Hot and Sportscreme, and Tylenol, but these measures provided no relief.
At his father's suggestion, who had prior experience with chiropractic care, Dr. Weselak visited a chiropractor. The evaluation included a thorough assessment of the right shoulder and the spine, including the neck, middle, and lower back. The chiropractor identified a slight tendon strain in the shoulder area and described misalignments of the vertebrae, referred to as subluxations, in the neck that placed pressure on nerves controlling the shoulder. A course of chiropractic adjustments and exercises was recommended for the neck and shoulder.
Following the start of this care, Dr. Weselak reported returning to pitching pain-free within a couple of weeks. The resolution occurred without medication or surgery, which he found notable. This experience led him to research chiropractic principles, including the concept of the body's inborn ability to heal itself when interference is addressed.
The account influenced his educational direction. Dr. Weselak attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before enrolling at the National College of Chiropractic, graduating in 2000 with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. He obtained certification as a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner and completed training in ICPA Pediatric Adjusting Techniques. He achieved diplomate status with the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
After graduation, Dr. Weselak began practicing in downtown Chicago. He later returned to Lombard and opened West Suburban Wellness in May 2005. The practice has continued operations in the area since that time.
Dr. Weselak has taken on leadership responsibilities in the profession. He serves as president of the Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association. He received the IPSCA Chiropractor of the Year award for 2021-2022 and the IPSCA Beacon of Light Award in 2021. Additionally, he holds membership in the Lombard Chamber of Commerce.
The shoulder injury and its management through chiropractic adjustments and exercises demonstrated aspects of chiropractic philosophy in a personal context, said Dr. Timothy C. Weselak, D.C., C.C.W.P., founder of West Suburban Wellness.
