In 1992 Dr. Gary Boyd, founder of AcuCare Chiropractic, opened his door for the first time and welcomed patients. We’ve experienced a lot of changes since that day, and the door remains open. You are welcome to come in.

A 1979 graduate of the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois, Dr. Gary Boyd practiced for thirteen years alongside Dr. Jon Sunderlage. In 1992, Dr. Boyd started his own practice in Elgin, and AcuCare Chiropractic was born.  Joining AcuCare shortly after its inception were Drs. Scott Varley, George Ewert, Gary Lavell, and David Durrant. It was Dr. Boyd’s desire that AcuCare continue to grow and be an opportunity for new doctors to learn and gain experience and existing doctors to practice.  In 1995, Dr. Renee McMurry joined the staff.

On November 23, 2007 the building AcuCare Chiropractic called home was destroyed by fire.  Determined to meet the needs of their patients, AcuCare staff set up a temporary office overnight and were treating patients the very next day.

May 9, 2008, marked a sad day in the history of AcuCare, as founder Dr. Gary Boyd died after a two-year battle with Parkinson’s disease and prostate cancer.

Today, under the leadership of Dr. Renee McMurry, Dr. Boyd’s original dream continues to grow and expand as AcuCare Total Health. This new name marks no change in the heart of our mission but does emphasize our diligent commitment to your total well-being. Our new facility was carefully designed to provide us a better opportunity to deliver treatment to you in a peaceful, state-of-the-art facility. We seek daily to improve the total health of all who are under the expert care of our physicians.
