Dr. Cortney Weigand

Chiropractor, Naperville

Dr. Cortney is a graduate of National University of Health Sciences. She found chiropractic care after traditional allopathic medicine failed to relieve her headaches. Dr. Cortney began specializing in pregnancy during residency and continued this specialization after graduating. She created a practice primarily serving pregnancy and pediatric patients. Her passion for helping moms grew from stories she would hear from her patients. Stories of traumatic births, unsupported births, moms who felt they had no voice and moms who wanted a better option for their next pregnancy. From these same moms came her desire to help the babies and children of these birth stories. Her vision is to create a community that supports moms during their pregnancy through empowerment, inspiration, education, trust and listening.
