Dr. David VanDehey
Family Miracle Thru Chiropractic
I didn’t experience a miracle myself but… What I am about to write is true and in the records at Palmer College of Chiropractic. My brother’s life was saved through chiropractic. He was born with a life threatening birth defect, “failure to thrive syndrome”. The developer of chiropractic, B.J Palmer, gave him lifesaving chiropractic adjustments and my brother is alive and well.
Chiropractic Inspired Me
I was inspired to chiropractic by my father. He was an exceptionally gifted chiropractor. Our home was next door to his office and I watched as a small child the wonders of chiropractic and the beauty of the gift of healing from within that is in all of us.
Education, Philosophy, and Lifestyle
Chiropractic Education
I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, it is the original teaching institution and had at that time the best professors, who I love and will never forget them and their passion for chiropractic. They gave me the desire to continue to learn to better serve.
Chiropractic Philosophy
My philosophy is we all have the God given right to be healthy; this is possible only through healthy choices. Chiropractic care for wellness for a lifetime. We live our lives through our nervous system. It is vital that it functions effectively to have optimal health.
The most deeply fulfilling experiences in our office are watching children’s health, vitality and perception of the world changes through chiropractic care. So many kids well being is threatened by prescription drugs, poor diets, and lack of physical activities. There is nothing more satisfying than watching these kids’ lives change before my eyes.
You can’t put a price on children’s health, can you? Parents with sick kids cannot enjoy life, but when their children’s nervous system is functioning as it is intended, through specific chiropractic adjustments their kid’s health is returned, without drugs and surgeries.
Living the Chiropractic Lifestyle
I met my wife, Anne, in high school and then lost touch with her. Twenty years passed and she came in as a patient. We had very similar view points in our philosophy in regards to what is important in family, spirituality, and leading a healthy lifestyle. As a result of our re-meeting we now have two wonderful and beautiful girls, Alexandra and Olivia. Anne has also been my office manager for more than twenty years.
My up-bringing was very unique, I never received a vaccination, never have taken medications of any kind in my life. My belief is that health comes from inside the body, never from any medications. My family and I achieve health through a healthy life style that includes regular chiropractic adjustments, natural whole foods and supplements, staying physically fit by challenging our physical abilities.
Achieve Your Health Goals with Chiropractic
I consider myself an excellent listener and hope I get the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss your specific health challenge. I have over 30 years of experience being a chiropractor and a lifetime of experiences of seeing chiropractic work wonders. I have great passion to serve my community and would love to help you and your family achieve your health goals.

Anne VanDehey
Office Manager
Anne's Biography
I met David (Dr. VanDehey) in the late 70s here in Kankakee at Westview High School. We both went our separate ways for college only to meet again 20 years later. I came in as a patient with a stiff neck and as luck would have it, we were both still single! So long story short, here we are 25 years later with two grown daughters we are extremely proud of and a thriving business that we both have a strong passion for.
I have a very enterprising spirit, starting an upholstery business in San Diego in the early 80’s. Along with strong customer service skills, I have years of accounting, retail management, and DIY/ construction experience after years of working in the construction and home improvement industries.
I have also been a practitioner & teacher of yoga for over 40 years and hold an E-RYT and Chair Yoga certification. As David and I both have a passion for health and wellness, the timing was right for me to take on the management of the business in 2003. In 2005 we bought the house at this location and together, with the help of a few friends, converted it to a business and remodeled it to the office we have here today.
In my spare time, I love to cook, walk my dog, Ivy, sew, do home re-hab projects, travel and read.
I welcome you to our office and look forward to personally getting to know you and your family. We love our patients because we love what we do!

Tracie's Biography
I live here in Bourbonnais with my husband and our two Shih-tzus. I was blessed with three children. My youngest son lives in the area and my oldest son lives in Kansas, where we raised our children for 18 years. My daughter married an Army Medic so visiting her could take us about anywhere; however, our favorite so far has been Hawaii.
When I first moved to Illinois, I worked as a Pharmacy Technician for over a year before finding a home here at VanDehey Chiropractic. My previous management and administrative experience, along with a dedication to serving those who need care is why I thoroughly enjoy working. I have had a plethora of positions from the “Golden Arches” to working for our parish in Kansas, as Director of Religious Education. All which have given me opportunities for furthering my education in many areas from computer skills, management, operations, religious studies, and chiropractic care.
I enjoy traveling to blue waters and sandy beaches, decorating my home and spending time with family and our furry friends.
