Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments focus on restoring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function. This drug-free approach effectively addresses back pain, neck pain, and joint issues while improving overall mobility. With personalized adjustment techniques tailored to each patient's needs, we help reduce inflammation, alleviate nerve pressure, and enhance the body's natural healing capabilities. Our practitioners combine manual adjustments with rehabilitative exercises for lasting pain relief and improved physical performance.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. Effective for treating acute injuries and chronic pain conditions like arthritis, our laser therapy promotes faster healing of soft tissues and joints. The treatment is painless and typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. Our Class IV laser system delivers targeted therapy to accelerate recovery from sprains, strains, and repetitive motion injuries.
Acupuncture
Our licensed acupuncturists use traditional Chinese medicine techniques to address pain management and wellness concerns. By strategically placing fine needles at specific meridian points, this treatment improves energy flow and stimulates the body's natural healing processes. We commonly treat headaches, muscle tension, and stress-related conditions using customized protocols. Patients often experience immediate pain relief and improved circulation following sessions.
Orthotics
We provide custom-molded foot orthotics to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate lower body pain. These personalized shoe inserts address conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and knee pain by optimizing weight distribution. Our digital scanning technology ensures precise fit and maximum comfort. Patients receive comprehensive gait analysis to determine specific support requirements for improved posture and mobility.
Hormone Therapy
Our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy addresses hormonal imbalances affecting energy levels, mood, and overall wellness. Through comprehensive blood testing, we develop personalized treatment plans using plant-derived hormones that match human chemistry. This therapy helps manage menopausal symptoms, low libido, and metabolic imbalances. Regular monitoring ensures optimal dosage adjustments for sustained benefits and symptom relief.

Report
I highly recommend Dr. Tim Kolbaba. I have been a patient, along with 2 other family members, for many years. I went to see him recently for severe mid back and neck pain. After 8 treatments I was feeling extremely better and was released from care. Honestly I am basically pain free and with the exercises I learned from him I should be able to stay that way. Dr. Tim, is a very intelligent, energetic and compassionate doctor who tries to heal his patients quickly and permanently via lifestyle and exercise. Their entire staff is friendly and willing to listen to help you.

I met Dr. Patel at Randhurst Mall about 20 years ago. He has been my "go to guy" ever since. He is smart, straight forward and a gifted craftsman. You can't go wrong by working with him and his staff to get you feeling 100%.

My family and I have been patients at Advanced Physical Medicine & Therapy for years. Both Dr Vijay and Dr Tim have helped us recover from injuries and get back to the activities we love to do. The staff is wonderful and are all ready to help you get better! For the past few years I've had a chronic ankle injury that wasn't getting better. This past summer Dr Vijay suggested I get PRP injections into the torn tendon.
With taking some time off for healing and following Dr Vijay's advice to strengthen my ankle I now feel like it's getting stronger and I'm looking forward to returning to competitive running in 2022. Recently my husband was seeing Dr Tim for a back issue and Dr Tim noticed that one of his calves was swollen. He suggested that he contact his primary care dr for an ultrasound and it turned out he had a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot).
We are so grateful that Dr Tim noticed that and sent him to the hospital for the ultrasound. Mt Prospect is so fortunate to have such a great chiropractic practice in our community and we highly recommend their care!
