Functional Medicine
Conventional medicine is frequently viewed as a "one-size-fits-all" approach to managing chronic diseases, raising concerns about the reliance on heavily commercialized drugs and their associated side effects. As a result, many people, frustrated with ongoing illness and fatigue, are seeking alternative, natural health solutions and becoming more educated about these options.
A Functional Medicine Physician is a conservative practitioner who is also a health educator and passionate about each patient receiving an individual wellness plan. This allows them to raise the bar to primary care status and also meet the rapidly growing demand for natural health care.
Successful healthcare management requires knowledge of the body's many systems. A true holistic approach would include evaluating imbalances in the patient's immune system, gastrointestinal health, structural health, hormonal and neurological health, energy production, psychological health (mind and spirit), and the need to detoxify congested areas.
Our treatment concentrates on promoting balance in dysfunctional systems to restore health. This parallels the chiropractic philosophy of the relationship between the structure and function of the human body and how that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health. With the use of comprehensive diagnostic tools beyond standard conventional testing, history taking, and examinations, our treatment protocols include lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and the use of professional-grade nutritional supplementation and herbal therapies (nutraceuticals) along with bioactive precision peptides.
