Touch of Wellness Chiropractic S Corp Effective Date: January 1, 2023 | Last Updated: February 2026

Section 1: Entity & Authority Declaration

This website and the clinical services described herein are owned and operated by Touch of Wellness Chiropractic S Corp, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Illinois.

Registered Business Address: 1101 W Jackson St, Suite A Morton, IL 61550

Clinical Oversight: All clinical services provided by Touch of Wellness Chiropractic operate under the direct supervision of Dr. Karen Hannah, DC — a Doctor of Chiropractic who earned her Doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic (2009) and holds post-doctorate certifications in Acupuncture, Animal Chiropractic (AVCA-certified), and DOT Medical Examination.

Dr. Hannah's clinical credentials and her role as the founding authority of Touch of Wellness Chiropractic inform the data handling, patient communication, and privacy standards outlined in this document. The standard of care and confidentiality patients experience in-clinic extends to every digital touchpoint associated with this practice.

Touch of Wellness Chiropractic operates as a Clinical Health Hub — not a retail wellness center or franchise model. This distinction matters because it shapes how we collect, store, and protect the information entrusted to us. Every policy below reflects clinical-grade standards of transparency and care.
