To your health

Looking for an allergy free spring?

Spring has finally arrived in the midwest and if you are an allergy sufferer, so has your stuffy nose.  D-Hist and D-Hist Jr, by Ortho Molecular Products are here to save the day.  The great thing about the D-Hist line is that it works on preventing allergy symptoms before they start, without the side effects found in many

D-Hist for Seasonal Allergies

D-Hist for Seasonal Allergies

over the counter allergy medications.  D-Hist consists of the following active ingredients:

Quercetin
Naturally found in onions, quercetin supports mast cell stability (these are the cells that cause your allergic reaction).  Quercetin  promotes sinus and respiratory health.

Stinging Nettles Leaf
Studies show stinging nettles provide positive support for nasal passageway function.

Bromelain
A strong pineapple enzyme, bromelain supports normal mucousal tissue function and enhances the absorption of quercetin.

N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC)
An amino acid, NAC helps to promote the normal viscosity of mucus.

These supplements together form a wonderful combo to help you enjoy spring without a stuffy nose!  Ask Dr. Patel or Dr. Kolbaba if these supplements are right for you and can help you enjoy an allergy free spring without over the counter drugs!

Douglas Labs Core Restore

There are many detox programs out there.  Dr. Vijay particularly likes this product from Douglas Labs, that helps restore healthy liver function.  The liver’s purpose is to remove toxins from our body.  Our bodies are assaulted everyday with chemical and toxins that tax our liver.  It makes common sense to provide our liver with the nutrients it needs to detox and repair its cells.  This formulation provides high quality vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements to heal and support liver function.  If you are not sure about the need to detox, this link can help you determine if detox is right for you.  Call our offices and schedule an appointment to begin a detox plan with one of our doctors.

Pregnancy Changes Foot Size

Categories:

To your health

by Dr. Vijay Patel
Recent research supports the long-held notion by women that pregnancy changes your feet.  Based upon my experience in clinical practice, these changes in women contribute to incidence of low back pain; sciatic pain; hip, knee and leg pain.  I have found that early intervention utilizing specific exercises in combination with custom orthotic devices and supportive footwear dramatically decreases the likelihood of these complaints. These regimens may also reduce future incidence of musculoskeletal complaints that have arisen following pregnancy in many women. This advice is true whether you are just  considering starting a family, currently pregnant, or have had a past pregnancy.
Please contact our offices in Mt Prospect (847)222-9060 or West Dundee (847)844-7900 to schedule a consultation with our chiropractic physicians to help you with this issue.
