Your Trusted Royal Oak Chiropractor 

Hi, I’m Dr. John Grgicak, founder and owner of Progressive Chiropractic in Royal Oak. I’ve been practicing chiropractic care since 2001 after graduating from the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois.  I hold a Doctor of Chiroporactic degree, a bachelors degree in Human Sciences and am fully certified in pediatrics from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.

When I opened Progressive Chiropractic in 2005, my mission was simple: treat every person with kindness and give my absolute best effort to improving their life. That mission still guides everything I do today.

At my office, I stay true to traditional chiropractic principles. I primarily perform hands-on adjustments, using instrument adjusting when appropriate. Rather than overwhelming patients with unnecessary therapies or supplements, I focus on identifying the true source of stress and symptoms and addressing it directly. I believe real results come from skill, simplicity, and a strong doctor–patient connection. Hands-on care and personal interaction are essential to that process.



Outside the office, I’m passionate about sports and competition. I enjoy golfing, pickleball, and anything that challenges me. I also love reading about philosophy, economics, and exercise science, and I’m always looking for ways to grow personally and professionally.

If you look at my online reviews, you’ll notice a clear pattern: patients stay. Many have been coming to see me for 5, 10, even 15 years, and they regularly refer friends and family. The reason is simple—when people are treated with respect, listened to, and given 100% effort, they improve. And once they feel better, they want to stay that way.

When you’re ready to become the best version of yourself, I’ll be here. I look forward to meeting you!!
