Dr. Ronald A. Masukawa graduated from the National College of Chiropractic in 1993.  He completed a Clinical Practice Residency through an accelerated post-graduate studies program.  Dr. Masukawa began his career in a group practice in Crystal Lake, IL.  And for nearly 30 years he continues his pursuit of excellence in internal disorders, women's health, fertility, pediatrics, ergonomics and acupuncture.


He also maintained a  practice in Rockford for 13 years at Northern Illinois Medical Group where he was involved in the progressive care of patients utilizing both medical and holistic therapy.  Dr. Masukawa resigned his position in 2013, in order to focus and develop his practice in Crystal Lake.


Continuing education is important to keep up with medical advances, innovations and technology.  Dr. Masukawa completed a 2 year diplomate program in Pediatrics.  This training has allowed him to provide more options in the care of expectant mothers, infants and children of all ages.  One area of focus has been fertility protocals.  Not only does he work closely with the hopeful mother during the pre-and perinatal stages, but also with the fetus, ensuring proper development and birthing.


Acupuncture has been an integral part of Dr. Masukawa's practice.  It is often incorporated into treatment protocols for back and joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, vertigo, fertility, mood disorders, anxiety and many other conditions.  It is applied through the use of fine needles or for those with an aversion to needles, with laser or microstim.


Worker's compensation and personal injury cases have always been a part of the clinic's caseload.  Because of this, Dr. Masukawa gained certification in Motor Vehicle Injury and Crash Dynamics.  This training has proven invaluable in the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of patients and their documentation.
