About Vitality New Lenox:
We desire to see families at higher levels of health and well-being in every way. The dramatic increase in the number of hospitals, medical facilities, and drug stores in recent years illustrates a degeneration of health in our community, and an utter lack of true health care. Our team at NutriMost New Lenox is committed to caring for your health instead of simply doing what everyone else is doing: ignoring the underlying cause of disease and covering up the symptoms and pain with drugs.

Our desire, and commitment, is to empower each of our patients with life-saving knowledge. We will not water down the chiropractic message of life and health, nor will we simply give patients what they want while ignoring what they need in order to live healthier, happier lives. We understand the devastating effects of inflammation and interference on the nervous system: nerve interference can cause everything from chronic headaches to heart attacks. Because of this, our mission is urgent: it is literally one of life and death.

We strive daily to realize a healthier, happier, full-of-life community with less sickness, less dis-ease, and fewer preventable deaths; where children are healthier, families are happier, and marriages and relationships are enriched.

Dispose of your personal and financial documents at LincolnWay Community Bank's Shred Event on Saturday, November 8  from 9 AM - 11 AM at the bank. Materials will be shredded for FREE on site!

Come on out to support As Good As Gold Golden Retriever Rescue! They will be at Tucker's Doggie Delights from 11 - 2 with some of their pups for a meet and greet. We hope to see you there!
