Jeffrey Neumann

Meet Jeffrey Neumann

In 2001, I found myself wondering if my life was over. After surviving a devastating motorcycle accident that left me bed ridden, wheelchair bound, and eventually relying on crutches, I was just merely surviving through the unrelenting pain that refused to subside; despite the steady diet of painkillers I was on. Although I had survived the initial accident, I continued to watch my life slip away before my eyes, as recovery never seemed to be within my grasp.

When the fog from the painkillers began to suffocate my life to the point where I had to withdraw from school, I began to wonder if I would ever really get better. Desperate for help and willing to try nearly anything, I begrudgingly made an appointment with a chiropractor that my friend swore could help me. Not believing that a chiropractor could really help with the intensity of my pain – but also understanding that I had nothing left to lose – I walked into the chiropractor’s office that day with a glimmer of hope, and an even more skeptical mind.

That decision turned out to be the best one that I have ever made, because after a specific spinal adjustment, the pain that had been plaguing me for months began to fade away.

I walked out of his office that day, and into my new life. Astounded by how the pain-free realignment of my spine had given me back my life, I felt a drive to help others in the same way that I had been helped. Finally able to abandon the pain killers that had been clouding my brain, I reenrolled in school; this time to become a chiropractor myself.

Welcome to Nu Life Energy Chiropractic located in Plainfield. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it’s all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Plainfield IL chiropractor can help you and your family.

Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

SoftWave FAQs

  • What results should I expect from SoftWave Therapy?

    If you are a candidate for treatment, SoftWave therapy can provide both immediate and long-lasting results. After one SoftWave session, patients typically experience a 20-50% reduction in pain and improvement in mobility, lasting from a few hours to several days. Some patients require multiple sessions before experiencing improvement.

    To determine if SoftWave is a suitable treatment for you, schedule a $69 New Patient Appointment, where you will receive one SoftWave treatment session, and the provider will assess whether further treatment is appropriate.

    Unlike pain medications and injections, SoftWave treatment seeks to activate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level to deliver genuine and long-lasting results.

  • What is the SoftWave treatment process like?

    SoftWave is a fast and convenient non-invasive procedure that usually lasts 10-15 minutes, with no downtime required for recovery. First, ultrasound gel is applied, then the SoftWave device is gently placed to deliver shock waves to the injured area. Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, while some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. The use of anesthesia or numbing agents is not necessary. Effective communication with the provider during treatment can help identify treatment hotspots and track progress.
