About Northern Illinois Medical Group

Finding out what is wrong with you and knowing how to fix it is what we are all about. Northern Illinois Medical Group (formerly Back In Action) is not your typical medical clinic. Where your immediate care or urgent care clinics are good for drive through service, used to diagnose and treat “a symptom or problem that has recently risen to the surface”, we are the place you want to be when you want to be disease free, entirely.

It’s scary, sometimes not knowing or understanding what alternative/holistic/natural health care can do for you. That’s why we are the best at what we do. We care about your health, your success, your trials, your pain, all of it, because we want to help you and knowing all about you helps us to determine the best course of action to bring you back to optimal health.

Understanding the relationship that our body systems have with each other is key. It leads to understanding why our medical team looks at overall health, why the doctors run the tests that they do, and why they customize specific treatment plans for every unique person who truly wants, and is ready, to be healthy.

Picture an old fashioned wagon wheel and spokes. The wheel is your health; the spokes are the body systems at work (chemical, emotional, energetic, physical). When everything is in place, our life journey is much smoother and less full of surprises. But when one or more of those spokes is missing or damaged and out of sync, life becomes full of ups and downs.

Chronic disease begins when there is imbalance in the body. It starts small, almost unnoticeably, caused by any of a number of things (pollutants, stress, toxic overload, pinched nerves, untreated infections) and grows into a disorder. By finding the cause of the problem and correcting it, disease can be prevented or cured. Preventative care is the best option – if you catch the signs and symptoms early enough and work to correct the problem, you can prevent disease from developing into emergency crisis (possibly death).

We don’t plan on letting your condition “fully develop” so that we can diagnose the problem, we plan on working with test results to narrow down and pinpoint the cause at the source. Where prescription drugs are essential in crisis care situations, supplements are essential to treatment and prevention of chronic disease and are incorporated into your care plan to ensure the best possible chance at remaining disease free.

Maintaining (or regaining) good health naturally is accomplished through a variety of complimentary treatments including lifestyle change, nutritional education, emotional balance, detoxification of the body systems, therapeutic treatment, and a desire to be healthy. If you are not in it to win, maybe you aren’t ready for us, yet. Don’t give up hope, we are here and will be ready for you when you are sick of being sick.
