At Northstar Integrated Health & Physical Medicine Center, we help individuals in the greater Lisle area manage chronic pain, immune-related conditions, and complex health concerns using personalized, integrative care. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is one of the supportive therapies we offer for patients who have not found adequate relief through conventional treatment alone.
LDN is used at significantly lower doses than standard naltrexone prescriptions and is carefully integrated into broader care plans. Our approach focuses on supporting the body’s natural regulatory systems, addressing inflammation, and improving overall function while prioritizing safety and long-term wellness.
With more than 20 years of experience and over 4,000 patients supported, our team brings trusted clinical insight to integrative and functional medicine therapies.
Support immune regulation and reduce inflammatory burden with carefully guided LDN therapy.
Develop an individualized treatment plan aligned with your condition and health goals.
Address persistent pain and complex symptom patterns with a non-opioid option.
LDN therapy is never used in isolation. It is incorporated into a comprehensive plan that may include nutritional support, lifestyle guidance, physical medicine, and other integrative services offered at our Lisle clinic.
We’re committed to helping patients explore effective, responsible options for complex health conditions. To get started, contact our office to schedule an initial consultation.

Our integrated health clinic offers LDN therapy as part of a patient-centered functional medicine approach. We focus on careful dosing, ongoing monitoring, and individualized treatment strategies.
During your consultation, we may review your symptom history, immune-related concerns, pain patterns, and previous treatment responses. Because LDN affects multiple regulatory pathways, it is prescribed thoughtfully and adjusted gradually based on tolerance and response.
LDN may be used alongside other supportive therapies such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, nutritional strategies, and medical condition management. Education and communication are central to our care philosophy.
We commonly help patients explore LDN for support with:
Our goal is to support balance and function rather than suppress symptoms alone.
Naltrexone is a medication originally developed and approved at higher doses for opioid and alcohol dependence. When used at much lower doses, it appears to interact differently with the body’s opioid receptors and immune signaling pathways.
Low Dose Naltrexone is believed to work by temporarily influencing receptor activity, which may encourage increased production of the body’s natural endorphins. These endorphins play a role in pain modulation, immune balance, and inflammation regulation.
LDN is considered an off-label use and is prescribed only after careful evaluation. At Northstar Integrated Health & Physical Medicine Center, LDN is used as part of a broader, individualized care plan rather than as a standalone treatment.
LDN is non-opioid, non-addictive, and designed to work with the body’s natural systems.
Patients may consider LDN as part of their care plan for reasons such as:
LDN is often explored when other approaches have provided incomplete relief.
When used appropriately, LDN may help support pain regulation, immune balance, and overall well-being. Responses vary by individual, and improvements are often gradual rather than immediate.
Because LDN is used at very low doses, it is generally well tolerated when medically supervised. Our team prioritizes realistic expectations, ongoing monitoring, and patient education throughout care.
As an integrative practice, we focus on long-term health support rather than short-term symptom suppression.
Every patient’s condition and response to treatment is unique. Our team develops personalized LDN protocols based on health history, current medications, and symptom patterns.
Dosages are typically started low and adjusted gradually. Progress is monitored over time, and care plans may evolve based on response and tolerance.
Our goal is to ensure LDN is used responsibly, safely, and effectively as part of a comprehensive strategy.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, immune-related symptoms, or complex health concerns and want to explore whether LDN may be appropriate, our team is here to help.
During your initial consultation, we’ll review your history, discuss potential benefits and considerations, and outline next steps clearly and transparently.
