Other Common condition we treat

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc happens when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc bulges or leaks out through a tear in the outer layer, often causing nerve irritation and pain. At Action Chiropractic, we can fix this by reducing the irritation on the nerve with flexion distraction and dry needling, improving spinal mobility with gentle adjustments, and relieving pressure on the affected nerve with ART and other soft tissue techniques. Combined with specific rehab exercises, we help patients get out of pain and back to doing what they love.

Whiplash/car Accidents

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a rapid back-and-forth motion of the head, often from car accidents, leading to pain, stiffness, and headaches. At Action Chiropractic, we assess the full extent of the injury with orthopedic and neurological tests, then use gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy like ART, dry needling and cupping, and rehab exercises to restore movement and reduce inflammation. Our goal is to help you heal fully and prevent long-term issues from setting in. We will work with your auto insurance or personal injury claim to put all your worries in the rear view.

Sciatica

Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness that can travel from the lower back down the leg. At Action Chiropractic, we will identify the root cause—whether it’s a disc issue, muscle tension, or joint dysfunction—and using adjustments, myofascial release, and targeted stretches, we can relieve the pressure on the nerve and get you moving pain-free again.

TMJ

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction can cause jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and even ear discomfort due to tight or misaligned jaw joints and surrounding muscles. At Action Chiropractic, we gently work on the muscles of the jaw, neck, and face using Active Release Techniques (ART) and precise adjustments to relieve tension and improve joint function. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore normal movement, and help you chew, talk, and recommend Action Chiropractic to your friends and family.

Headaches

Headaches can stem from tight neck muscles, joint restrictions, or nerve irritation—especially if you sit at a desk or deal with daily stress. At Action Chiropractic, we pinpoint the source of your headache through a thorough exam, then use techniques like Active Release, spinal adjustments, and muscle work to relieve the tension. Most patients feel lighter, clearer, and pain-free—often after just one session.

Neck Strain

Neck strain usually comes from chronic poor posture, or sudden movements that irritate muscles and joints in the cervical spine. At Action Chiropractic, we use targeted muscle work like Active Release Technique(ART) or dry needling, gentle adjustments, and corrective exercises to reduce pain and restore mobility. Whether it’s from sleeping wrong or too much screen time, we’ll help you get your neck moving—and feeling—like it should.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can stem from being overused, muscle imbalances, or joint dysfunction in the foot, knee or hip or even shoulder. Whether you’re running, squatting, or just climbing stairs, the knee absorbs a lot of impact. At Action Chiropractic, we assess the entire lower body to find the root cause, then use treatments like myofascial release, IASTM, adjustments, and rehab exercises to reduce pain and improve function. Our goal is to get you back to kicking butt and running like lightening.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain often comes from overuse, poor posture, or injuries that affect the muscles, tendons, or joints. At Action Chiropractic, we identify the root cause with specific orthopedic tests, then fix it using myofascial release like ART, cupping, dry needling, and adjustments to restore proper movement, decrease inflammation and relieve pain. Whether it’s from throwing, lifting, or just daily stress, we’ll get your shoulder moving—and feeling—better.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve gets compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. At Action Chiropractic, we address the issue by releasing tight muscles in the neck, forearm and wrist, improving nerve mobility, and correcting any related posture or joint issues. With a combination of soft tissue work, adjustments, and ergonomic advice, we help you get a grip on your symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Tennis/golfer’s Elbow

Lateral and medial epicondylitis are common overuse injuries caused by overuse of the muscles of the forearm. Action Chiropractic can use IASTM, dry needling, and ART to reduce the tension on the muscles on the forearm and adjust the wrist, elbow and shoulder to make sure that you can get back in the swing of things fast.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is an overuse and impact injury where the tissue on the bottom of the foot becomes irritated and fibrotic. Action Chiropractic can address this buy adjusting the foot and ankle and using ART, IASTM, Ultrasound and dry needling to release and relax the plantar fascia and so you can hop right out pain free.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
