this topic from last month, we are discussing various vitamin,
nutriceutical, and dietary approaches that show promise with some
published evidence to benefit those of us struggling with allergies.The next herb to consider is: 6) Tinospora cordifolia

nasal discharge. 7) Combination allergy supplements [..]
Many people seek chiropractic care for low back, mid-back, neck pain, and pain in the extremities, but what about balance and/or dizziness, as they often go together? Can chiropractic management help people suffering from frequent falls due to balance and/or dizziness problems? Let’s take a look!
When considering treatment for balance, we must talk about [..]
Chiropractic
has been utilized to treat many ailments, including allergies. Though
large-scale, randomized controlled trials are lacking in regards to
chiropractic treatments and allergies, case reports and other research
show promise. The concept of managing allergies may include diet
management and/or a multi-disciplinary approach to obtain optimum

One of the tenets of chiropractic care is to manage the health of and
restore function to the patients entering our office, not limited to

costs annually, not including indirect costs due to lost productivity

introduced many different types of wellness programs. Here, we will
continue the investigation of how chiropractic and wellness are a

Chiropractic methods are traditionally sought after for pain relief
for neuromusculoskeletal conditions or from pain arising from the
nervous and musculoskeletal systems. But in the tradition of
chiropractic, the WHOLE PERSON
is cared for, not just a select region of pain. For example, when a low
back pain patient first comes to the office, their [..]
Chiropractic
has long described benefits that extend beyond pain relief and crisis
management such as the concept of immune stimulation and overall
well-being. But what is “wellness” and how does it fit in with the
chiropractic model?Interestingly, there is no single definition for the term “wellness.”
Frequently, “wellness” is advertised on balloons, banners, billboards,

lower urinary tract symptoms [..]
