Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine

Credentialed in Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT)

  • Dr. Anthony Kelley is a passionate practitioner who values patient education and helping people understand their pains.
  • Anthony began his career journey as a basketball player at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where he engaged with strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, and sports medicine professionals. It was through these experiences that he met a chiropractor (S/o Roy!) who offered a fresh perspective. This encounter led to an independent study, where Anthony learned the value of blending different specialities while always treating patients with respect and empathy. During his chiropractic education, Dr. Kelley discovered that true healing comes not from miracles, but from a collaborative team approach and focusing on the fundamentals of care.
  • Dr. Kelley studied kinesiology (exercise science) while at UIC, later moving onto National University of Health Sciences (Lombard) to pursue his doctorate in chiropractic. Anthony has taken over 2,000 hours in post-graduate seminars and research presentations through the great people at Motion Palpation Institute, The Prague School (DNS), Functional Range Conditioning, and the Mckenzie Institute. He continues to teach rehabilitation and anatomy at his alma mater, NUHS. 
  • Dr. Anthony is graciously complimented by his better half, Dr. Julia Kelley DC, ND, and two wonderful kids. When not in the clinic, Anthony coaches his son, Ashton, and daughter, Jordyn in basketball. He enjoys spending time with friends and family, fishing, golfing, and listening to music.

 “Every patient contains a truth. He will proffer the data on which diagnosis rests. The doctor must adopt a conscious humility, not towards the patient but towards the truth contained within.”
