Dr. Steve Petrak, owner of Petrak Chiropractic, opened his practice in Westchester in 2016, bringing his passion for wellness back to the community where he was raised.
A Westchester native, Dr. Petrak has long felt a strong connection to the Village and its surrounding communities, saying “having a business in Westchester just feels like home, everyone is so friendly and welcoming”. Dr. Petrak chose to locate his practice in Westchester because of the Village’s welcoming atmosphere and its convenient access to major streets and highways. The central location, combined with the community’s friendliness, makes Westchester an ideal place to operate a local business.
Petrak Family Chiropractic offers a modern, results-oriented approach to chiropractic care with a strong focus on wellness. The practice serves patients of all ages and backgrounds, including children, pregnant women, seniors, and athletes. Dr. Petrak emphasizes identifying the root cause of pain rather than simply treating symptoms, creating individualized treatment plans designed to promote long-term healing and overall physical wellness.
Dr. Petrak’s journey into chiropractic care began in high school after suffering a sports-related back injury. During his recovery, he became fascinated by how spinal alignment and nerve function impact the body’s ability to heal. That early experience inspired his career path and continues to influence his comprehensive approach to patient care today.
Over the years, Petrak Chiropractic has expanded its range of services to meet the evolving needs of its patients. These services include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, stretching and exercise programs, on-site digital X-rays, and acupuncture. The practice treats patients from newborns through geriatrics, with a shared goal of helping individuals not only recover, but maintain long-term health.
Dr. Petrak shares the practice’s success with his dedicated staff. Longtime team members Cathy Hoye and Maria Trelenberg have been with the practice since nearly the beginning and are known for creating a professional, warm, and welcoming environment for patients. Dr. Petrak believes strongly in treating employees with respect and fostering a culture of teamwork and communication.
In addition to serving patients, Dr. Petrak has been an active supporter of the Westchester business community. He has been involved with the Westchester Chamber of Commerce since opening his practice, serving in various leadership roles including Board Member and President. Looking ahead, Dr. Petrak plans to continue growing the practice and hopes to add an additional chiropractor in the near future.
When asked how the Village can best support local businesses, Dr. Petrak encourages residents to shop locally and explore the many services Westchester businesses offer to families and the community. Residents seeking chiropractic, acupuncture, or massage therapy services are encouraged to visit Petrak Chiropractic, where personalized care and long-term wellness remain the top priorities.
