Hi everyone! I’m Dr. Sam O’Brien, chiropractor and owner of The Hive Wellness Center in Geneva, IL! I graduated from Logan University in 2022 and originally began practicing in Austin, TX before moving back home to Illinois to start my own practice. My passion is helping women through pregnancy and postpartum, caring for babies and kiddos, and working with athletes and active individuals. My approach is movement-focused and rehab-driven, with an emphasis on helping people feel stronger, move better, and stay active doing the things they love! Outside of the office, I’m a former D1 soccer player who still loves lifting, drinking coffee, and collecting way too many plants. I’m excited to connect with more people in the Geneva and Naperville communities!

At 34 weeks pregnant, I saw Dr. Sam O'Brien for sciatica pain that I was experiencing all the way down my left leg. I was barely able to walk and completely stopped doing any lower body exercises due to the pain I had. Everyone told me it wouldn't go away unless baby moved positions or until I had the baby. Dr. Sam proved them wrong! After my first appointment, I was able to walk without limping and get back into the gym. The pain no longer ran all the way down my leg and everything day to day was much more comfortable. I love that she gave me exercises I can do every day to keep the pain away! She even walked me through some pelvic floor therapy and other pregnancy related things I should consider in preparation for labor and postpartum.

Highly recommended!! Dr. Cam is very knowledgeable, listens well, and is genuinely concerned about helping you be the best you can be! He addresses the cause of your injury, not just the symptoms, while helping you maintain your activity level.
— Donna Proctor
My son has been seeing Dr. Cam for functional training to help him with competitive swimming. Dr. Cam is great with him! It has been an awesome experience overall. The office is welcoming and impeccably clean. My son’s swim times and form have improved significantly. Highly recommend The Hive!
— Alison Wetmore
Amazing chiropractors that have helped me as a D1 athlete stay on top of my recovery and prevent injuries. Highly recommend!
— Greyson Ellensohn
Dr. Sam has really helped me with teeth clenching and TMJ related symptoms. She was patient as she really listened to my concerns, addressed my concerns, and educated me on how to take care of my concerns outside of the office. They do so much more than spine adjustments. They're a must see!
— Stephanie C
Dr. Sam took her time explaining everything during my visit. She was very welcoming, knowledgeable and helped me not only get immediate relief, but also set me up with some exercises I could try at home for longterm maintenance. I am so glad to have her as a part of my care team!
— Samantha Rivera
Love it here. Highly recommend!
— Danielle Mullins
Dr. Sam has helped me with my frozen shoulder! She is in tune with her clients and really is knowledgeable about how our bodies work.
— DuffyAtkins
Thanks! Dr. Sam! I’m feeling better already!! I appreciate your time and detailed explanation of the process!!
— Kathleen Bernstein
Dr. Sam is fantastic! Brought my 2 month in for some body work and to look into ways in helping her latch (due to ties.) Dr. Sam was so thorough and taught me things to do at home. Looking forward to continued care with TheHive and Dr. Sam.
— Courtney Drendel
WONDERFUL and KNOWLEDGEABLE! Dr. Sam combines technique and tools to treat the overall body. She takes her time to identify the reason for back/neck pain and she doesn't overcrack. Yes, it is a thing. For this reason, I am not returning constantly for returned aches and stiffness. Love this place. I wish I would have known about this place while I was pregnant and for my little.
— Tanya Trout
The Hive Wellness Center truly is a diamond in the rough! I began to see Dr Sam last year for tennis elbow, she took time with me , shared exercises to do at home, did treatments in the office and never once told me to stop working out which was huge for me! After that issues resolved I scheduled a functional appointment to get help with hip mobility for an upcoming competition. Dr Sam gave me a plan to help me accomplish my goals also getting input from Dr. Cam as well. So happy to have such amazing caring Dr’s right here in Geneva!
— Mary LeBeau
Dr. Sam is the best! She is so knowledgeable and every visit I have with her is amazing !

Hands down the BEST chiropractic & wellness center in the tri cities! Dr. Sam and Dr. Cam are two clearly passionate professionals who provide precise individualized care. If you’re looking for a cookie cutter, expensive, and long care plan, look elsewhere. The Hive is an exceptional place for chiropractic, physical therapy, and mental wellness for both you and your little ones. I’ve been seeing Dr. Sam since the day I found out I was pregnant. As an active first time mom, I’ve always been skeptical of chiropractic care especially prenatal and postpartum. Dr. Sam not only seems to have every certification under the sun (Webster, pediatric, etc), but she clearly is very passionate about continuing her knowledge base to provide the most individualized care to both myself and my baby. Dr. Sam has addressed a vast array of concerns range from hip and back pain, pelvic floor therapy, intra-abdominal pressure, diaphragmatic breathing - all of which I can firmly attest to aiding in labor - and even some postpartum functional strength training sessions to ensure a safe transition back into weightlifting! She also provides care for my son’s overall wellness and development, including treatment for possible tongue tie, hip/neck/back tightness, breastfeeding/latching issues, coli, gas, and so much more! While we know progress for all of these things take time, we get some type of relief after every session, regardless of the concern. We absolutely love The Hive and appreciate Dr. Sam and Dr. Cam for being so much more than the stigmatized “chiropractors” - don’t wait another day to start care at The Hive!
— Allison Fallon
Amazing - Dr. Sam is so knowledgeable and amazing at what she does! Came in for chronic neck pain, and not only does she do adjustments and treatments (which help a ton), but gives advice on how to keep the pain from coming back. She’s very focused on holistic care and gives great recommendations. You can tell that they are passionate about what they do. Can’t recommend them enough.
— Daniella Garcia
Been seeing Dr Cam since January and have had a really fantastic experience. Had stiffness and pain at 37 in my lower back due to narrowing of my L5 after being overweight for a long time and working a desk job for many years. I was skeptical at first as I had never been to a chiro but I took his wholistic data backed approach seriously and began to see results and feel better almost immediately. The stretching routines, dry cupping and alignments alleviated the immediate symptoms of discomfort I was having. The workout schedule he created as well as the encouragement for other lifestyle changes re being more active have paid serious dividends and almost entirely eliminated the issue. He also helped address lingering issues in my left shoulder from tendinitis. You can’t quit and have to stay consistent with exercise and stretching but if you’re willing to listen, learn and keep putting in the work, positive lasting change is possible (at least in my case). Would strongly recommend.
— James Looney
I’ve been seeing Dr Sam for tennis elbow for a few weeks and love her approach and treatment methods (scraping, tissue work, cupping and stretching). The office is clean, modern and cozy. Highly recommend!
— Laura Best
Dr. Sam at Hive Wellness Center in Geneva is an absolute gem. She is incredibly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and clearly passionate about what she does. Every time I see her, I feel heard—she listens intently as I explain what’s going on with my body, then thoughtfully tailors each session to what I need that day. Her treatments often include a combination of chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue work, breathwork, pelvic floor work, muscle activation exercises, and stretching. It’s a truly holistic approach that has become an essential part of my healthcare routine. I can’t recommend her enough!
— Libby Proctor
Cam and the staff at The Hive are the absolute best! Cam has significantly helped my low back pain, upper back pain and helped me get stronger. They do it the right way here and really care about the patient and their progress!
— Mike Santacaterina
I’d been struggling with elbow pain for over a year, which not only limited me as a competitive athlete but also interfered with everyday activities. After starting treatment with Dr. Cam, I noticed a difference almost immediately. He takes the time to thoroughly explain what’s happening and how each approach will help. Cam is incredibly patient-focused and ensures that you feel heard and cared for during every session. I’ve now been pain-free for weeks and continue to see Cam for general recovery and maintenance. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
— Bailey Pihera
BEST Prenatal Chiropractor!! If you are pregnant I highly recommend you see Dr. Sam, she is FANTASTIC! I just started seeing her a few weeks ago and already claim her as a vital part of my healthy pregnancy. I have been to many different chiropractors and used them since I was a kid. To me Dr. Sam is one of a kind. She takes a very wholistic approach and touches on my EVERY need during each session. From past ailments to my week to week pregnancy discomforts , to seasonal colds/coughs she covers it ALL! In my opinion it’s the best bang for your buck. I was hesitant to go since I need to bring my toddler with me, and as a first time mom feared it would be too chaotic. My experience has been the opposite. Dr. Sam is a natural with kids and makes every appointment interactive and educational for my 2 yr old. She even includes kids in the appointment and gave my child some care when they had a cold. I don’t feel distracted and she makes it possible for me to take care of myself even with kids tagging along. Dr. Sam is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I can’t thank her enough for everything she does and I very much look forward to utilizing her throughout the rest of my pregnancy and postpartum journey.
— Meredith Wells
Dr. Sam is absolutely incredible! I had never gone to a chiropractor before her and she made the first visit very easy for a first timer. She was so helpful and made the appointment enjoyable. I will definitely continue seeing her and highly recommend her if you are looking for a chiropractor, especially if you are pregnant or postpartum (as a birthworker I can say it is extremely beneficial to see a chiropractor during these phases especially). 11/10 recommend 🙌🏼
— Esmeralda Carrillo
Dr. Sam has been great! She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to really listen to what is going on to implement ways to improve pain, range of motion, and provide practical solutions to stop it from occurring again. She is also very great with pregnant women! I came to her around 30 weeks pregnant hoping she could help my body turn my breach baby. At 34 weeks, I saw her in the office and then went to an Ultrasound appointment after. On my way, I felt like baby was definitely moving around in a different position, and when I got to my appointment, they confirmed baby was head down! I’ll continue to go to Dr. Sam because she goes way above any other chiropractor I’ve ever seen!
— Liz Henley
This is a wonderful place Came to see Dr Cameron with severe neck and shoulder injury. It’s been only a few weeks and I am a lot better after seeing Dr Cameron, he knows what he is doing and as a competitive athlete, I can see myself getting back to the competition floor because of him. Thank you very much!
— Tom Slusar
The doctors at The Hive take the time necessary to get to know each patient and treat them for their specific issues. The office location is warm and inviting. I highly recommend these professionals.
— Laurie Davis
I have previously gone to Dr. Cam for over a year and the services was great! I would make it a point to schedule with him over other providers if the schedule aligned because he took the time to understand what I needed and was always very knowledgeable on ways to improve my pain.
— Amanda Palaski
Listened to exactly what my needs and concerns were. Addressed exactly what I needed and have dramatically improved my mobility and pain level. Spends a significant amount of time working with me and don't feel rushed.
— Palma Talancon
One of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ve been to many chiropractors for neck pain and none of them are really able to help me. Dr. Sam did an amazing job and I saw her even after just one appointment. I would definitely recommend the hive wellness center! I learned a lot about my body, and I will continue to see them going forward to prevent any future pain that could reoccur. She use dry needling, and stem to To solve some of the issues I was having along with some adjustments and was able to pinpoint where and why I was having neck pain. The difference between this chiropractic care and the ones I’ve previously been to is how it’s catered solely to what you need And how they spend a lot of time with you. Most doctors give you exercises to do at home, which they do, but she also went through them with me and took her time and showed me how I can do some of the exercises that she was able to help me with during the appointment. so not only do chiropractic care get some rehab, which is super beneficial and I will continue to go. A chiropractor in the West Chicago area I highly recommend!!!!
— Riley O'Brien
Dr. Cam did a great job, helping to address shoulder pain. He provided advice and exercises to improve shoulder mobility and reduce stiffness. Dr. Cam is also a very friendly and caring person. I highly recommend him!
— Jerry Feyh
This is unlike any other Chiro I have been to! Cam was amazing, spent time with me, explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner. Hive also has some great services! Cupping, education, training methods, sports medicine are Cams specialty, but he has so much more to offer than that. I highly suggest you stop in; I will be back for the foreseeable future!
— Armando Talancon

— Hannah Rieker
Dr. Sam and Dr. Cam are both AMAZING and passionate about the care they provide. My husband and I originally started seeing Dr. Cam for routine back, neck and shoulder maintenance. We both have 9–5 desk jobs and we’re not athletes but we stay active and were regularly going to F45 strength and endurance classes. Adjustments from Dr. Cam helped keep us mobile. When I became pregnant Dr.Sam took over my chiropractic care and I can’t rave about her enough! THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE PUSHED OUT A 9+ lbs IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES WITHOUT HER CARE THROUGHOUT MY PREGNANCY! She helped with all the pregnancy aches and pains but also mobility and strengthen. I switched from F45 to prenatal function strength training with Dr.Sam and I’ve never felt stronger. Now postpartum, I also recognize all the exercises and movements we did as I’m moving around and keep up with my little one. Our baby also had some body tension and latching issues that Dr. Sam was able to her and us with some baby adjustments…baby also gave us some giant blowouts and good sleep after adjustments. I could keep raving about the care these two provided for our family and it wouldn’t be enough!
— Sydney Kirkwood
Dr.Sam took great care of me my whole pregnancy with my second baby. Labor was not painful this time around and my son slid out after just 4 hours of labor! 🙌🏼
— Jazmin Isdale

— Kelsy Vick
Dr. Cam and Dr. Sam are HIGHLY knowledgeable about just about everything related to the body. They do SO much more than your “typical” chiropractor. The environment they have is suitable for the entire family. I trust them wholeheartedly!
— William Bonanno
The BEST! Both Dr. Cam and Dr. Sam are skilled and strategic in their approach. They listen to understand your current discomfort, and provide the necessary time and attention to your treatment. I always left my adjustments feeling reset and pain-free!

— Katie Sheehan
Dr. Sam and Dr. Cam are amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Whether you need prenatal, postpartum, or sports chiropractic care, you’re in great hands!
— Molly Pluss
Dr. Cam has been a big help in getting my wife and I back on track when we run into a nagging injury while strength training. Often we would show up in some pain or with limited range of motion and leave his office with near total relief. He listens well to provide an individualized approach and is root cause oriented, which I appreciate as having that understanding and focus is instrumental in avoiding re-occurrence. You'll be hard pressed to find better help!
— Gib Andrews
Dr. Sam and Dr. Cam are both very intelligent, thorough, and highly skilled doctors! I LOVED that they did muscle work (cupping, dry needling) along with the adjustment and gave me exercises to work on. My back pain has never felt better! Highly recommend!!!
— Teresa Porter
Dr. Sam helped us so much when my son was experiencing back to back to back ear infections and on track to need tubes. After about a month of frequent adjustments he got the “All Clear” from our second opinion with ENT. We now just do maintenance visits when he is getting sick. We’ve 7+ months without an ear infection and can’t thank Dr. Sam enough for all her help and the excellent care she gave my son.
— Kaitlin McCarthy
Drs. Sam and Cam are both amazing! They are great chiropractors and even better people! 10/10 recommend!
— Anna Propst
Dr Sam is absolutely fantastic. As a fellow health professional and new mom, I was incredibly picky about who I went to for our baby when addressing tension, feeding issues, etc right after he was born. She was very thorough in answering all of my questions/concerns and clarifying treatment and expectations. Truly grateful for everything she has done for our family!
— Amelia A
Dr. Sam was a godsend during my pregnancy. I saw her for my whole pregnancy— every appointment I got so much relief from adjustments, cupping and exercises. After I had my son I did her rehab program and she got me safely back into exercise. My son now sees her too. We’re so grateful we found Dr. Sam and we highly recommend The Hive!
— Kat Sauer
I have had the best experience with Dr. Sam! She knows everything about prenatal, postpartum, and whole body health! She is great at educating her patients about how to take the best care of themselves! Highly recommend!
— Bridget Turney
We recently visited Sam and I can confidently say she is fantastic! Sam not only provided excellent care for me but also worked wonders with my two young daughters, ages 1 and 3. When it came to my daughters, Sam was incredibly patient and kind. She explained what she was doing in a way that was easy for them to understand and made the whole experience enjoyable. Both kids felt very at ease during their sessions and even got to help her with my adjustment! Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding service
