Dr. Charles Fino

Dr. Fino became a member of the Brannigan Chiropractic team in 2011.  Dr. Fino grew up in Oak Forest and received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Saint Xavier University in 2007.  His interest in chiropractic lead him to National University of Health Sciences where he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine in 2011.

Dr. Fino is a firm believer in the human body as a self healing and self regulating system.  When treating his patients he follows a model where the patient as a whole is taken into account rather than focusing on one structural region and its associated pain.  Maintaining and restoring function is of the utmost importance when caring for his patients.  Dr. Fino’s treatment plans are individualized for each patient to help them reach their specific goals throughout care.  Doctor as teacher is something that Dr. Fino firmly believes in and he makes education an integral part of his care.

Dr. Fino is very passionate about Chiropractic care and wellness and looks forward to serving the community.  Helping people achieve their health goals through an interactive and gentle approach is what Dr. Fino strives for.      

Dr. Fino loves the south suburbs of Chicago.  He enjoys bike riding, running, working out, cars, and spending time with his family in his free time.
