Empowering patients to take charge of their health is what makes Dr. Erin Ducat excited. With a bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry, she had the chance to go into any PhD or medical school program, but that wasn’t a good fit for her.
“Good health doesn’t come from a pill bottle or from invasive procedures. Most of traditional medicine is focused around a script pad. I wanted something different — a practice where I could make a connection with my patients and make a difference in their lives with natural treatment options for back and joint pain."
History
In 2008, Dr. Erin Ducat opened Ducat Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Old Town Bloomingdale.
