Dr. Robin Ackerman

Dr. Robin Ackerman, owner and founder of Balance Family Chiropractic, attended Loyola University in Chicago and then received her doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2000.  She worked as an associate at Ginsberg Chiropractic in Geneva for three years before opening Balance Family Chiropractic in 2003.

Dr. Ackerman, one of only a handful of pediatric specialists in the nation, received her diplomate in Chiropractic Pediatrics in 2005 after three years of postgraduate studies.  She enjoys working with newborns through adults, caring for many families.

She regularly lectures to numerous groups and organizations on topics such as autism, asthma & allergies, ADD/ADHD, hormone balance & infertility, ear infections, fibromyalgia and trigger point therapy.

Dr. Ackerman decided at the age of 15 to become a chiropractor after talking with her uncle, Dr. Steve.  She had been suffering from excruciating headaches following a car accident and Dr. Steve explained how chiropractic could help.  After just a few adjustments she was in awe at the feeling of relief from her headaches.  Dr. Ackerman is now blessed to be able to help other adults and children that may have the same ailments.

Dr. Ackerman is married to her husband Scott, is a mother of an active 11 year old named Gabriel, and in 2010 they welcomed their new baby boy, Julian.  In her free time she enjoys exercising, healthy cooking, travelling, church activities, and spending time with her family.
