Gold Naprapathic & Wellness Center

Dr. Lisa Gold is fantastic!!! I had been having arm, hand and shoulder problems for about a year. The pain was beginning to affect my work and sleep.
After reading some very positive reviews about Lisa I decided to schedule a massage with her to see if she could help. After 90 minutes on her massage table it was clear that Lisa would be the person to help me.
I then decided to schedule a Naprapathic appointment for Lisa to perform a thorough evaluation of my posture and determine the root cause for my issues. Lisa recommended determining if my mattress and work space could be contributing to my problems. So, I took pictures at my desk and had an ergonomic expert come out to evaluate my setup. With just a few simple changes, my issues are slowly improving.
At my third visit Lisa adjusted my shoulder and performed a technique with an essential oil and scraping tool to bring circulation to my upper back and shoulders for the tissue to heal. Amazingly, my shoulder pain completely stopped!!!
I realize problems do not completely resolve overnight; however, I am confident Lisa will supply the correct roadmap to help resolve my issues. I feel fortunate to have found Lisa and will definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Dr. Gold is fantastic! She’s a chiropractor and masseuse all in one. She understands the mechanics of the body and she is the only person who ever works on you so she understands your issues entirely. She’s my savior. I can’t believe there are so few Naprapaths. The world needs more of them.

I recently took my 2.5 year old son to see Dr. Lisa Gold to help him with a very tight and sore neck– and I could not believe how quickly she was able to help him feel better, as well as how knowledgeable she is at her work– amazing! I had tried previously myself to massage him, but he wouldn’t let me touch his neck– the poor little guy was walking with his shoulder raised and his head tilted because it hurt to stand normally. I wanted to get him help, but thought a chiropractor sounded too harsh and was nervous about the quick sudden movements. I was so happy to find that Lisa’s practice could achieve the same results with more gentle movements. I was completely amazed as my son let her work on him for 30 minutes! The next day he was walking normally and was clearly much more comfortable. She even showed me some simple stretches and massages I could try myself if I was comfortable to keep the tight muscles (torticollis) at bay. We went back for a follow-​up the next week and he was still feeling great. I’m so thankful for her and would highly recommend her work for children and any age!

My mother-​in-​law told me that Dr. Gold eliminated the sciatic nerve pain in her leg within 2 visits, after other doctors had failed to help (neither her conventional specialist nor her chiropractor addressed this pain). These may have been longer than normal visits since she lives out of state. Dr. Gold said the pain was due to an anterior tilt of the right hip.

On the advice of two VERY picky friends, who frankly I never would have expected to recommend anybody close to a natural of holistic practitioner, I called Dr. Gold. I was visiting from NYC and suffering from pretty severe and worrisome lower back pain. Not only pain in the standard back areas we all experience now and then, but also in the hip and groin area, where I’d never before felt pain. Sleeping was nearly-​impossible without a ton of pills knocking me out, and the pain persisted throughout the day, couldn’t really do anything, not even walk around. Dr. Gold was able to fit me in within a day or two of my call and was extremely thorough in listening to my symptoms and giving me an initial exam which confirmed the diagnosis that the symptoms suggested. Then came… the treatment. Listen, I wouldn’t believe it either if I read it but after only one treatment — which was extensive (close to 90 minutes), my pain went away. Not overnight, but in the three days between my two appointments, and after I followed her advice during those days. I had been convinced that either this pain was something that was going to take months to relieve, or even worse that I would have to live with or have surgery to relieve. But two treatments and while I’m not going to say I don’t feel a certain tenderness down there now and then, there is no pain! Dr. Gold did a good number of treatments on me in that first appointment and some others in the follow-​up, and it’s really not possible to know exactly what did the trick, but the trick was done. She is passionate about her practice and while I just tended to joke around and be a little cynical during our appointments, .I soon realized that if I LISTENED to her, I would learn a lot. She tells you what she’s doing and why, and how it helps, which isn’t ever the case with a conventional doctor. She is at least as interested in telling you what you can to do help yourself OUT OF HER OFFICE as what she can do for your pain while you are in her office. She knows her stuff, that’s pretty clear the first time you meet her. If I wasn’t leaving town right away I would go for a few more follow-​up treatments, that’s for sure. I can’t promise you that you will enjoy the ‘miracle’ I experienced, but I wouldn’t bet against her. And her office is away from the trafficky areas of Chicago and she offers free parking, so you can’t beat that. Just be sure to Google «street view» her building, or you’ll sail past it the way I did the first time. All in all, it’s 5 stars and more for Dr. Gold. Last weekend I could barely get out of bed and this weekend I’m playing tennis!

I emailed Dr. Gold briefly describing my situation, asking for nutritional help after I’ve struggled to manage my diet on my own prior to having no insurance. She called me, impatiently asking what I wanted, was dismissive and unwilling to offer any help, telling me there was nothing she could do for me after I asked for her help in coming up with a diet plan to resolve my health issues. Seeing as she offers nutritional services, I don’t see how this could be possible. I ended up going to Chicago Institute of Natural Health instead, and so far, they have been much more helpful.

How is it that Gold Naprapathic has 9 FILTERED reviews! HogWash!!!
I went to Dr. Gold for a massage about a week or so ago. I originally thought that I would be seeing a massage therapist, but she ended up working on me herself. I was a little concerned before I went in that she would be doing my massage, after all, how good can a doc be at massages? Within 2 minutes of laying on her table I was in massage hog heaven, if there is such a thing. It turns out that prior to Dr Gold becoming a Naprapath, she was a massage therapist. I asked for a certain kind of massage and she did it better than anyone I have ever been to (and I have been getting massages once a month for years and have been all over the city). She really cares about the patient as a whole. I have never reviewed a massage therapist before b/​c I find most of them just competent. Go Go Go if you want to melt and your body to feel awesome afterwards!!! Ps. Just for honesty sake, don’t think of this as a spa. It’s not. It’s a simple room, but the lights are down low, the candles are on and she plays the music softly, but it doesn’t matter because when you leave and the following days your body will love you!

I went to Dr. Gold because I had won a gift certificate in a raffle, and I can tell you it was one of the best gifts I could have received. Her grasp of health conditions, nutrition and medicine is quite impressive. As a result of the work we have done together, my health, attitude and general well-​being has improved, all in a matter of three months.

Dr. Lisa Gold is simply the best. I went to her with some serious back and neck pain and she’s been amazing in diagnosing the issues and helping to create a plan of action. The treatments that she offers are tailored to people’s individual issues. I always feel great after leaving her office! Dr. Gold herself is extremely knowledgeable about both the latest in science and medicine as well as holistic and alternative approaches. She offers a range of solutions including rehab, take-​home exercises, and advice on home and office work setups that may be contributing to back and neck issues so that patients can build up muscles and sustain proper alignment. She is friendly, approachable and a great person. Also, she works with insurance– even the most pesky, as mine has been. Go see her if you have any issues with pain!
I should also mention that her practice offers functional medicine, orthodics, acupuncture, and massage. I can’t recommend Dr. Gold’s practice highly enough.

Having mediocre results with Chiropractors over the years, I was skeptical about seeking the services of a Naprapathic practitioner. I found Dr. Gold to be caring and knowledgeable concerning my well being. Her treatment approach provides appropriate tissue manipulation and encourages life style changes that will have long term benefits.
In contrast to my past experiences, I left Dr. Gold feeling much improved and would highly recommend her services.

After going over my sleep positions and some other factors in my life I have dramatically increased the amount of sleep I get every night. I have been a life long insomniac existing on 2 – 3 hours of sleep a week night. After starting to address this with Dr. Gold I am now consistently sleeping 5 – 6 hours a week night and even dreaming again after years of not having any.
This is and has been such an extraordinary benefit to every aspect of my day to day life!

Dr. Lisa Gold… Jennifer Voudrie here’s a rave review from Danny Lena
Thank you so much for your professionalism and knowledge in the subject of pain relief. After my sessions at the Wellness Center with Jennifer Voudrie my neck, back and shoulder pains were all eradicated 100%.
As you both know during the move of my business I took a short fall off a ladder and hurt myself. I was able to move and continue working but I was in lot’s of pain and I needed help.
On the personal reference from my dear friend I went into the Dr. Gold Naprapathic & Wellness Center. I was so stressed out and I was in such pain but had so much more to still do to complete the move. Jennifer was fabulous, she was calm and focused and came up with a perfect plan for the relief my pain.
The effectives of her treatments and her gentle but very firm «suggestion» that I take a short restorative 1 day rest was a success. I was able to finish the move and I remain pain free today.
Dr. Gold, Jennifer Voudrie was able to accurately diagnose my situation and treat it effectively. Once we agreed on her taking charge of the pain relief… She snapped into action and performed all kinds of acupuncture, massage and this really cool suction cup therapy. So without any medication or harmful chemicals that may have had adverse effects on my body I was pain free.
My wife and I are forever grateful for what Jennifer Voudrie has done for us and I would highly recommend her and the Gold Naprapathic & Wellness Center.
Thank you Dr. Gold, keep up the great work and thank you Jennifer!

Dr. Lisa Gold is an excellent naprapath. She helped me tremendously when my back hurt and the pain has never come back! She also takes a total interest in the patient and seeks to provide information that is more than what one came in for.
The acupuncturist, Jennifer, is also amazing. Her caring attention to detail and comfort made me feel confident and be a willing patient. She, too, goes above and beyond and has been looking for answers for me through nutrition as well as other avenues.
This is a gem of a practice and I highly recommend them both.

Dr. Gold’s knowledge and expertise on blood chemistry really helped us get at the root of my symptoms that allowed us to treat from there. Her treatment programs are very effective at healing the real issue.
