Specializes In Pain Relief And Wellness

Serving Gurnee, Lindhurst, Wadsworth,
and Antioch Patients

At Natural Care Chiropractic in Lindenhurst we are pleased to provide chiropractic services to our entire local area of Illinois, including the Gurnee, Wadsworth, and Antioch areas. For the last 15 years, our chiropractor, Dr. Mark Freund, has provided an array of services and therapies including massage therapy, nutrition response tests, nutrition counseling, acupuncture, and physical therapy to help the members of our community be pain free and healthy.

Our belief here at Natural Care is that chiropractic care can be extremely helpful in pain relief and in healing, for a number of different conditions. We often treat auto accident victims who have suffered soft tissue trauma injury or "whiplash", patients who have had a sudden back injury on the job or in the home, patients who have been dealing with chronic arthritis pain for years, patients who suffer from headaches, allergies, carpal tunnel, or any number of other conditions.

Your spine is truly the center of your central nervous system. If you consider the many nerves that are connected to your spine, and how each of these nerves travels to some specific area of your body, it soon becomes clear why a properly aligned spinal column is so vital. When a patient experiences disc problems or other alignment issues, the chiropractor uses a series of highly specialized hands-on manipulations that will gently guide the misaligned portion of the spine back into place.

In some cases, Dr. Freund also uses massage therapy in conjunction with the treatments. This therapy partners well with the care that the chiropractor provides since it is an excellent source of pain relief itself and it also stimulates circulation throughout the body. Dr. Freund may recommend massage as supplement to your care to help relax the muscles so that the chiropractic care can be even more effective. In addition, massaging painful areas can help to eliminate the inflammation that may be pulling your body out of alignment.

Some other treatments used in chiropractic care may include physical therapy techniques. Physical therapy includes the use of specific exercises that are designed to help the injured area to rebuild and become stronger. We have a diverse library of video exercises in our members area that patients can do from the comfort of their own home to guide you through the strengthening process. Dr. Freund may prescribe a few of these exercises to supplement your chiropractic treatment. The use of these therapies in conjunction with adjustments from the chiropractor is part of the total body wellness that we strive to help you achieve.

Dr. Freund and our entire staff seek to treat the whole patient, and that means that our patients will always be given every possible resource for the highest possible levels of health and healing. Our additions to chiropractic care include nutritional counseling, advice on exercise routines, and the informational resources that we have placed here on our new website. Chiropractic care is used throughout the world as a road to recovery for countless types of ailments and injuries -- Call us today to discover what it can do for you!
