Meet Our Team

Dr. Edgardo Vargas

Dr. Edgardo Vargas received his Associate Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Puerto Rico, and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico. His plan was to go to medical school after graduating from university. After exploring deeper, he realized he wanted a specialty that offered a more natural way of healing. He picked chiropractic without knowing much about the field. Dr. Vargas moved to Chicago to study chiropractic. Arriving at the National University of Health Sciences, the students had to go through an evaluation and treatment program. He realized the potential available through chiropractic and how it helped back pain and motor function. He fell in love with it and wanted to know more. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2006 and has been practicing ever since. Dr. Vargas has over 200 hours training in nutrition and laboratory testing, and also received certification as a Functional Medicine Practitioner. He enjoys showing patients how chiropractic can help with any chronic condition they might have.

Dr. Rae Bouvin

Dr. Rae earned her Doctor of Chiropractic from the National University of Health Sciences in 2006. One of the most significant moments of her time there was when she woke up in severe pain, so debilitating she almost had to quit school. “I had severe arthritis and disc degeneration in my neck at the age of 23. The doctors in the clinic worked on me for six months to get rid of my pain and regain strength in my arm that I had lost.”

In addition to her doctorate, Dr. Rae achieved the following:

  • Kinesiotaping Certification (July 2005)
  • Advanced Clinical Orthopedics and Rehabilitation (April 2005)
  • Acupuncture and Meridian Therapy – certified with 100 hours of training (April 2005)
  • Perinatal Care with Webster Technique Certification (October 2007)
  • Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture for Face (October 2007)
  • SOT Pediatric Cranial Adjusting (December 2007)
  • Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture for Face, Neck and Abdomen with certification (June 2008)
  • Mei Zen Acupuncture for Infertility (September 2008)

 

From May 2009-July 2010, Dr. Rae also completed extensive pediatric coursework through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. She is ICPA Pediatric Certification Eligible.
