Dr. Jason Ingham, DC, CCSP
Chiropractic has been a part of Dr. Jason Ingham’s life since an early age. His mother, who was afflicted with polio as a child, was left with severely imbalanced muscles and joints in her spine. After years of pain and disability, she eventually saw dramatic results through Chiropractic care. This, together with other Chiropractic experiences and a love for the sciences, influenced Dr. Ingham to pursue a career as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
After completing his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, Anatomy, and Psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Ingham went on to earn his Doctorate in Chiropractic at Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas. He completed a preceptorship in Spinal Rehabilitation in Texas before returning to the Midwest and establishing himself in Chicago.

Dr. Rachel Leibovitz, DC
After suffering multiple sports injuries, the benefits of chiropractic care were crystal clear to Dr. Rachel Leibovitz.
Originally from Naperville, IL, she first learned to love the world of sports from
a young age and eventually attended Grand Valley State University on a lacrosse scholarship.
Yet, playing lacrosse at the college level had caused wear and tear on her body, and she
started seeing a chiropractor after several injuries had kept her sidelined and not feeling her
best. It was through this experience that she learned the importance of conservative treatment and how routine adjustments offered a positive effect on the whole body, not just the spine alone. This experience, as well as a lifelong love for sports, influenced Dr. Leibovitz to pursue a career as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
Today, Dr. Leibovitz enjoys working with patients of all backgrounds, but especially enjoys
assisting athletes on their journeys to wellness.
When she’s not busy working with patients, Dr. Leibovitz enjoys being active, whether it’s in the gym or the outdoors, as well as attending Chicago sporting events and spending time with
family and friends.

During her time in Davenport, Dr. Leibovitz held a leadership role as captain of the Palmer
Women’s Rugby Club. Not only was she a player, but a leader and communicator between the
