Balance Family Chiropractic opened its doors in 2003, and for the past 19 years, has provided the community a safe space for the entire family to experience the gentle power of chiropractic care.
Dr. Ackerman chose the Bartlett community as the home for our practice because she loved the small town vibe-here, everything feels like home. We aim to make our patients feel the exact same way, as if they’re a part of our family
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.
Dr. Nicole Pawola is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. Prior to that, she attended the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign where she studied Molecular and Cellular Biology. Since her graduation at Palmer Dr. Pawola has become very passionate in treating pediatric and pregnant patients.

I have been a patient for about 4 months and have throughly enjoyed the services I have received. I have seen gradual improvement in pain and mobility. The staff is so accommodating to my sometimes difficult schedule and so gracious snd friendly. I tell all my friends how much I enjoy going the this practise.
I highly recommend this chiropractic center for all age groups. Dr Ackerman and Dr. pawla are very knowledgeable, generous and good in diagnosing skills. They do very gentle therapy for kids and are specialists in kids chiropractic care. I indeed see great progress in my 5 year old as he was previously hyperactive and now little calm and sleeping well. Excellent service overall and front desk staff are very helpful and organized.
Great care, friendly staff and very accommodating. Been going to them for over a year now with constant, recurring back pain and have always been treated professionally. Back feels much better after every visit. Would highly recommend.
I began with Balance Family Chiropractic due to severe sciatica pain. From my first visit, everyone was very caring and kind. I am very grateful for their care and will continue my monthly adjustments forever!
Balance Family Chiropractic is the best chiropractic care facility I’ve ever been to. I started coming with really bad neck pain, TMJ pain, and some back pain from scoliosis. After only a few sessions I started feeling so much better. Everyone in the office greets me by name and it makes me feel so welcome! Dr Pawola is so knowledgeable and so is Dr Ackerman. I feel so blessed to have found care here.
