• Family Practice
  Excruciating. That’s how Landi Miller describes the pain she was feeling on her right side, working down from her neck to her shoulder and into her right arm. This busy single mom with three kids and a job in the Winnebago County court system saw her life thrown into a tailspin when she was diagnosed with two herniated discs by her family practice physician.
• Emergency Care
  When pain in her right arm became so severe back in the late summer of 2015 that it was impacting her life, she knew she had to take action. She’d first woken up one morning with neck pain and it became progressively worse. She visited an urgent care clinic where, she said, the doctor didn’t take her pain seriously. She was given some anti-inflammatory medication, which helped. For a while.
