If you’ve been searching for a holistic doctor or a chiropractor near you who sees the whole picture, Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center is that practice.
Book OnlineWhat Is Holistic Chiropractic Care?
Holistic chiropractic care goes beyond adjusting the spine to relieve localized pain. It uses the spine and nervous system as a window into the overall function of the body — evaluating how mechanical imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, emotional stress, and lifestyle factors interact to create the symptoms a patient is experiencing.
In traditional chiropractic care, the focus is primarily on musculoskeletal complaints: back pain, neck pain, headaches, and similar conditions. In holistic chiropractic care, those same physical symptoms are treated as signals — messages from the body that something in the system is out of balance. The goal is not just to relieve the symptom but to identify and correct what is driving it.
At Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center, Dr. Keith Giaquinto’s specialty in Internal Health means he evaluates the mechanical, nutritional, and emotional stressors in your body simultaneously — and builds a care plan that addresses all three. This is what distinguishes holistic chiropractic care from standard chiropractic treatment.
The Spine-Body Connection
The spine is the central highway of the nervous system. The nerves that exit each level of the spine supply specific organs, glands, muscles, and tissues throughout the body. When subluxations — misalignments in the vertebrae — create interference in those nerve pathways, the corresponding organs and systems receive incomplete or disrupted signals.
This means that a thoracic subluxation may not just cause back pain — it may also affect digestion, immune function, and cardiovascular regulation. A cervical subluxation may not just cause neck stiffness — it may also impact the vagus nerve, with downstream effects on heart rate, respiratory function, and digestive health. Holistic chiropractic care evaluates the spine with this full-body understanding in mind, not just the site of pain.
Integrating Chiropractic with Functional Medicine Principles
Holistic care at Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center incorporates functional medicine principles — identifying the underlying patterns in lifestyle, nutrition, and physiology that are contributing to imbalance. Dr. Giaquinto evaluates these patterns through a comprehensive assessment that may include a 24-hour urinalysis, bloodwork, a fasting digestive exam, and a detailed health history. This allows him to see not just where the spine needs work, but how the whole body is functioning and what it needs to heal.
By integrating chiropractic care with enzyme therapy, emotional therapy, dietary modification, and laser therapy, Dr. Giaquinto helps patients achieve outcomes that no single therapy alone could produce. The total is greater than the sum of its parts — and that is the essence of holistic care.
Supporting Soft Tissue Health and Movement
Holistic chiropractic care also encompasses the soft tissues that support and surround the spine and joints. Muscle tension, fascial restrictions, and connective tissue tightness can perpetuate spinal misalignment and reduce the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Giaquinto may incorporate soft tissue techniques — including myofascial release approaches — to reduce tension, improve flexibility, and support better movement patterns throughout the body.
Addressing these restrictions also contributes to improved posture, reduced strain on the digestive organs, and enhanced nervous system function — reinforcing the holistic approach at every level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Holistic Chiropractic Care in Naperville
What makes holistic chiropractic care different from standard chiropractic care?
Standard chiropractic care primarily focuses on musculoskeletal complaints — relieving pain and improving spinal alignment. Holistic chiropractic care uses the spine as a window into the overall function of the body, evaluating how mechanical, nutritional, and emotional factors interact to produce symptoms. At Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center, Dr. Giaquinto’s specialty in Internal Health means every patient is evaluated for all three dimensions of stress — not just where it hurts.
What conditions does holistic chiropractic care at Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center address?
Holistic chiropractic care at Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center addresses musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain and neck pain, as well as internal health conditions including digestive issues, gut health disorders, fatigue, immune dysfunction, hormone imbalances, thyroid conditions, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms. Dr. Giaquinto’s approach is especially effective for patients who have complex or persistent conditions that haven’t responded to conventional treatment.
How does the spine affect the organs and overall health?
The nerves that exit each level of the spine supply specific organs, glands, and tissues throughout the body. Subluxations in the spine create interference in those nerve pathways, disrupting the signals that regulate organ function, immune activity, digestion, and more. A mid-back subluxation, for example, can impair nerve signals to the stomach and pancreas. Holistic chiropractic care evaluates the spine with this full-body understanding, correcting misalignments that have systemic — not just local — effects.
What therapies are combined with chiropractic in holistic care at Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center?
Dr. Giaquinto integrates chiropractic adjustments with enzyme therapy to address nutritional deficiencies, Emotional Breathing Release Technique (EBRT) to release subconscious stress, Erchonia GVL laser therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing, dietary modification, and targeted lifestyle guidance. This multi-dimensional approach is what allows Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center to achieve outcomes that no single therapy alone could produce.
Is holistic chiropractic care appropriate for chronic conditions?
Yes — holistic chiropractic care is particularly well-suited for chronic conditions that have not responded to conventional treatment. These conditions are typically driven by multiple interacting factors — mechanical, nutritional, and emotional — that standard single-modality approaches miss. By evaluating and addressing all of these contributors simultaneously, Dr. Giaquinto creates the conditions for the body to heal in ways it hasn’t been able to under conventional care.
Do you incorporate nutrition into holistic chiropractic care?
Yes. Nutrition is a cornerstone of the care at Giaquinto Chiropractic and Digestion Center. Dr. Giaquinto uses a comprehensive digestion evaluation — including a 24-hour urinalysis, fasting digestive exam, and bloodwork — to identify specific nutritional and enzyme deficiencies. From there, enzyme therapy and dietary modification are integrated into the care plan to address nutritional contributors to the patient’s symptoms.
