D.C., CCSP · Clinic Director
Dr. Thomas M. Mitchell
Clinic Director at Chicago Institute for Health & Wellness and Co-founder of Cerium Medical. He has built a reputation around one core belief: results matter.
In his own words
Every patient is uniquely the same and equivalently different. Surface issues run deep and are not solved by one technique alone. This is why I do what I do. I am dedicated to doing my absolute best every day, and my passion is to help each and every patient optimize both health and well-being, no matter what age or weight or condition is the starting point.
Clinic Director
Results first.
Every chiropractor has his own individual touch and healing skills, and it is my ultimate reward to play a part in changing people’s lives for the better through helping them become more pain-free, and through inspiring them to be healthier, more vibrant and more alive, and showing them ways to get there.
I have great parents, and I am the father of two fantastic children, Jackson and Benjamin, and husband to my best friend, Trisha.
Biography
Built around one belief: results matter.
Dr. Thomas M. Mitchell, D.C., CCSP is Clinic Director at Chicago Institute for Health & Wellness and Co-founder of Cerium Medical. He focuses on a simple question: what is wrong, and why? Athletes, active adults, and high performers come here when chasing symptoms has stopped working.
He has practiced functional medicine for more than 20 years. His training spans biology, human biology, chiropractic, sports medicine, applied kinesiology, and functional rehabilitation. That mix - movement, nutrition, and clinical care in one place - is how he helps people recover and keep results over time.
Dr. Mitchell is also a competitive lifter who has set national and world bench press records in drug-free federations. That background shapes how he talks with athletes and active patients: practical answers, not generic advice. He is the author of The Mitchell Principle and Never Too Late for Fitness.
At Chicago Institute for Health & Wellness, care is built around finding what is driving how you feel - then restoring it. Hormones, weight, pain, rehab, and training stay in the same clinic so you are not bounced between offices.
Patients come for sports medicine, back and neck pain, injury recovery, fatigue, gut issues, hormones, sleep problems, and weight change. Care plans are personal. The goal is clear progress you can feel in daily life and training.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Mitchell is Co-Founder of Cerium Medical, director of human performance for Maxxxforce, and a speaker at events such as the 2025 Upside US Sports Tech Summit.
