Functional Medicine In Itasca, Elk Grove Village IL

Personalized Health Solutions That Get to the Root Cause

At Quest Chiropractic & Acupuncture, our approach to wellness goes beyond symptom management. With Functional Medicine, we take a deeper look at how your body’s systems are working together—or not working as they should—to uncover the true source of chronic symptoms and conditions.

Rather than masking problems with medication, we focus on restoring balance, optimizing function, and helping your body heal naturally through customized care plans.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that aims to identify and address the root causes of illness—not just the symptoms. It blends modern diagnostic tools with natural, lifestyle-based interventions to restore your health from the inside out.

By assessing your unique health history, lifestyle, environment, and genetics, we uncover the imbalances behind conditions such as:

• Chronic fatigue
• Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, heartburn)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Brain fog and memory problems
• Weight gain and metabolic issues
• Skin conditions like acne or eczema
• Autoimmune disorders
• Sleep issues and mood disorders

Why Choose Functional Medicine at Quest Chiropractic?

Dr. Eldon Meeks and our team provide comprehensive, whole-body evaluations that go far beyond traditional checkups. We take the time to listen, investigate, and guide you through a health transformation that’s built on knowledge, empowerment, and sustainable change.

By combining functional medicine with chiropractic care, acupuncture, and nutrition services, we offer a truly integrative model designed to treat the person—not the diagnosis.

How Functional Medicine Works

Step 1: In-Depth Health Evaluation

We begin with an extended consultation that explores your full health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. This allows us to connect the dots between seemingly unrelated issues.

Step 2: Advanced Testing (If Needed)

We may use lab work, hormone panels, food sensitivity testing, or inflammation markers to get a clearer picture of what’s happening internally.

Step 3: Customized Plan of Care

You’ll receive a personalized roadmap that may include nutritional changes, supplements, stress reduction, detox strategies, and more, based on your body’s unique needs.

Step 4: Ongoing Support and Adjustments

We’ll guide you through every step of the process, making adjustments as needed and ensuring your plan is working in real time.
