"My wife and I agree. Dr. Gold has helped us more than any other professional practitioner we've seen for our aches and pains. We have never felt better!"

     -The Garretts, Chicago

"After a severe fall on my head, which left me with extreme pain in my neck that traveled down my arm and into my hand, I went to a chiropractor, an orthopedic surgeon and my primary care physician. Dr. Gold was the only one who didn't suggest medications or surgery, and I still became well and pain free. The results were amazing, and now I can work a full 12 hour day again without pain."

Updates:

With the advances in medical technology, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Naprapaths are now able to empirically validate "connective tissue disorders," the basic principles upon which Naprapathic manual medicine was founded 95 years ago.

From The Doctor:

"I believe in mixing a centuries old idea, hands-on manipulation, with the conveniences of modern technology to achieve the best results possible for my patients."

Pain Relief Through Naprapathic Medicine

More people today suffer from stress induced diseases than during any other time in history.  The demands of daily life, combined with poor nutritional choices and sedentary lifestyles, have contributed to this.

Stress accumulates in the body and will ultimately result in havoc wreaking illnesses and muscular imbalances.  When people hold stress in their bodies, whether it is in their necks, stomachs or elsewhere, the results are the same: pain, dysfunction, and, eventually, disease.  Poor posture and lack of adequate physical activity also creates muscle imbalances that can cause scar tissue to form within the muscle which, over time, will cause pain or make the individual more prone to injury.

The average American's diet consists of far too many fast foods, refined and processed foods and chemically injected meats.  The body's biochemical mechanisms have no way of properly assimilating these man-made chemicals, resulting in markedly increased rates of obesity, cancer and digestive problems.

Naprapathy uses manual medicine, nutritional counseling and modern technology to address these conditions and symptoms.  A practitioner of Naprapathy (a "Naprapath") believes that the body, given the right environment, has the ability to cure itself.  A Naprapath utilizes her/his knowledge and techniques to help the patient get on the road to wellness.

Dr. Lisa Gold, D.N. has been practicing holistic healthcare since 1999 and operates the Gold Naprapathic & Wellness Center in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.
