What patients most remember about Dr. Pickens is her attitude, which elevates her already exceptional expertise.
As soon as they meet her they can tell that she lives by her favorite Mahatma Gandhi quote: ...“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” She's a living reminder that it is our response to life's external forces that shapes our reality.

A competitive athlete throughout her entire childhood in Chicago's south suburbs, Dr. Pickens developed low back pain. Familiar with chiropractic due to his own experience with degenerative joint disease, her father took her to see a chiropractor right away. Shortly after starting a treatment plan, she was pain-free, but aware that her level of activity and genetic predisposition could set her up with spine issues down the road.

While scouting medical schools, she was referred to a corrective care chiropractor who taught her about subluxation and its effect on the nervous system. After a few months of regular chiropractic care, she noticed a wide-range of health improvements: she no longer caught her annual colds, flu or strep and, to this day, remains active in sports with no signs of degenerative disease.

To maintain her wellness, Dr. Pickens plays soccer, enjoys the physical and mental challenge of CrossFit, reads, spends time in nature and samples new restaurants. She also coaches gymnastics and teaches young athletes about discipline, hard work overcoming obstacles to achieve goals.

After receiving her BS in movement science from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. Pickens earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University, where she participated in student government and Parker’s Sport Chiropractic Club. She also led the women’s soccer team in the annual Chiro Games and received the James W. Parker Chiropractic Philosophy Award, which is given to the student, “who, to an outstanding degree, has demonstrated the principles of friendship, love of mankind, and the compassion to serve in the practice of chiropractic.” She continues to do just that while specializing in sports injury and family wellness care.

Dr. Cindy Nguyen grew up just outside Chicago in Aurora, IL, a hometown setting that gave her both small town benefits – like a strong sense of community, the beautiful riverwalk and endless parks and ...festivals – and the excitement and adventures of city living.

As far back as she can remember, Dr. Cindy knew she wanted to become a healthcare provider. That calling became crystal clear in 2020 while working as a Chiropractic Technician at Chiro One in Oak Brook, Illinois. There, she had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Jill Pickens, whose ability to transform patients’ lives through chiropractic care deeply inspired her. Witnessing the powerful impact of structural, neurologically focused care solidified Dr. Cindy’s desire to pursue chiropractic and help people feel and function at their very best. Today, she is proud to practice alongside Dr. Jill, continuing that same mission of life-changing care.

Dr. Cindy has further distinguished herself by earning her CBP (Chiropractic BioPhysics®) General Certification. This achievement reflects her deep commitment to structural correction, clinical excellence, and evidence-based care. To attain this certification, she completed seven advanced courses, over 90 hours of postdoctoral education, and successfully passed a comprehensive written examination. She also spent an immersive week in Eagle, Idaho, focused entirely on corrective care principles and application. This advanced training allows her to deliver precise, research-backed structural correction care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Beyond her clinical expertise, Dr. Cindy is an exceptional Associate Director and emerging leader within the clinic. She consistently takes ownership of both her patients’ outcomes and the growth of her team. Her professionalism, compassion, and ability to lead by example elevate everyone around her. Patients appreciate her easygoing, lighthearted nature, which helps create a welcoming and comfortable care experience. She takes time to truly listen, understand each individual’s goals, and ensure every patient feels heard, supported, and confident in their care plan.

Dr. Cindy defines wellness as feeling and functioning at her best. She maintains her own health by staying active with weightlifting and running, which keep her energized and strong. Outside the clinic, she enjoys attending concerts, trying new restaurants, and spending quality time with family and friends—experiences that keep her grounded and bring balance to her life.
