Welcome to Midway Pain Center, where generations of patients in Chicago’s West Lawn, Oak Lawn and Burbank areas have received expert care for their pain relief needs. 

Meet Our Expert Chiropractor

Our expert chiropractor, Dr. Mark Aleman, has been practicing since 1987. After undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, Champaign Urbana, he graduated salutatorian from the National College of Chiropractic. Since then, he has developed a reputation for utilizing his knowledge and skills to deliver effective treatments to his patients, just as a chiropractor played an essential role in Dr. Alemans’ recovery from episodic back pain without resorting to surgery when he was just a young man.

At Midway Pain Center, conveniently located @ 6457 S. Pulaski Rd. in Chicago, we offer specialized treatments that address your unique pain relief needs as well as weight loss.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Long-Lasting Pain Relief

Chiropractic adjustments can provide long-lasting relief by restoring proper spinal alignment, improving joint function, and reducing nerve irritation. We tailor the adjustments to meet your specific needs, using precise techniques targeted to the vertebrae and surrounding soft tissues.

For conditions involving the disc and spine, such as degeneration or mechanical dysfunction, gentle mobilization and targeted adjustments help reduce abnormal loading on intervertebral discs, improve spinal biomechanics, and slow or halt painful compensatory patterns.

We relieve nerve pressure and promote herniated disc healing with targeted spinal adjustments and controlled decompression to reduce bulging or migrated disc material. Complementary therapies—traction, guided exercises, and deep tissue work—support disc hydration, strengthen supporting muscles, and restore normal movement. This multimodal plan reduces inflammation, radicular pain, and recurrence risk.

Sciatica radiating pain along the sciatic nerve often results from disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or muscular entrapment. We identify the primary compression source and use targeted lumbar and sacroiliac adjustments, plus deep tissue and myofascial release of gluteal muscles, to relieve pressure. Corrective exercises and posture retraining improve spinal support and nerve mobility to help prevent recurrence.

You might not even realize the discomfort or pain you’ve been living with until you experience these treatments. Many patients report decreased pain, improved range of motion, and better overall function after a course of care. Our clinicians create individualized treatment plans that combine chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, therapeutic exercise, and patient education to address immediate symptoms and promote long-term spinal health.

Specialized Holistic Weight Loss Plans

Our holistic weight-loss program combines targeted chiropractic care, personalized supplements, and infrared sauna therapy to speed fat loss, improve metabolism, and restore balance. Chiropractic adjustments enhance nervous-system function, alignment, mobility, and posture to make exercise safer and more effective. Clinically chosen supplements support metabolism, reduce inflammation, and curb appetite. Infrared sauna increases circulation, aids recovery, and helps preserve lean muscle. Together, these coordinated modalities address root causes of weight resistance and promote lasting, patient-centered results.

Ancient Practice of Acupuncture

The ancient practice of acupuncture addresses a wide range of conditions, from physical ailments to even helping treat anxiety and depression. It stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, having a long-lasting impact on your overall health.

Stem Wave Treatment

We also offer Stem Wave Therapy, which provides pain relief by using high-powered focused sound waves to penetrate deeper tissues, activating stem cells in a targeted area to stimulate natural body healing. Stemwave Therapy has reported success rates of over 90% in reducing pain and improving function for musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
