WAUKEGAN, Ill., May 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waukegan Medical and Rehabilitation announced that the practice now offers free online wellness resources for patients and prospective patients. The practice launched a new website, http://wmandr.com, which includes a chiropractic video library, blog, member wellness center, and e-newsletter. These resources are designed to help patients learn more about the different options available for treating an auto accident injury, workplace injury or sports injury. The website also includes a "New Patient Center" with answers to frequently asked questions about the practice, including payment options and insurance.
Waukegan chiropractor Dr. Ivan Bracic announced that his practice, Waukegan Medical and Rehabilitation, has launched a new, user-friendly website to help patients learn more about the benefits of chiropractic and wellness care. "Our practice incorporates traditional medical care with chiropractic and physical medicine," said Dr. Bracic. "The new website helps explain our holistic approach to helping the bodies heal following an auto accident injury or other accident. Our goal is to provide patients with the resources they need to accelerate their journey back to good health."
Prospective patients who are new to chiropractic care can learn more by visiting the "Chiropractor Video Library." This library includes brief videos – available in both English and Spanish – that discuss the different treatment options available to patients following an accident. For example, Dr. Bracic addresses common auto accident injuries, such as whiplash, and how chiropractic care and physical therapy can help the body properly heal.
"Even a minor fender bender can lead to serious whiplash injuries, including neck pain and headaches," said Dr. Bracic. "These videos are designed to help patients understand the nature of their injuries and why our treatments are successful. We don't simply 'cover up' pain – we correct the underlying cause. These short videos offer informative, concise explanations of accident injuries and how adjustments can help provide long-lasing pain relief."
In addition to the video library, individuals may also visit the "Treatment and Services" portion of the website to learn more about specific pain management and physical medicine treatments available at the practice. These include the Cox Technique, Graston Technique, K-Laser therapy, trigger point injections, and ArthroStim. The practice also offers corrective exercises, including yoga, and massage therapy.
"We believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to wellness and healing," said Dr. Bracic. "No one treatment is right for every patient. That's why we offer a variety of different options and customize our care for each patient's unique needs. Our website is a wonderful introduction to our different chiropractic and physical medicine services."
Patients may also learn more about the practice's different treatment options by visiting the website's blog, which will have regular posts on sports injury treatment, work place injury treatment and auto accident injury treatment.
The medical wellness center provides injury treatment and pain relief for the North Chicago, Park City, Beach Park, Zion, Round Lake and Gurnee communities. The Waukegan chiropractor and bilingual staff can fluently converse with patients in both English and Spanish. To visit their website, go to: http://wmandr.com.
