Functional medicine is the approach we take to helping our patients experience better wellness. We discuss your history and run comprehensive lab testing to identify the root causes of your condition. Our approach doesn’t just treat the symptoms, we empower patients to improve their lifestyles and maintain a better well-being.
Conventional medicine resembles a fire department, while functional medicine parallels the work of a carpenter. Firefighters use two primary tools: an axe and a hose, just as conventional medicine primarily relies on drugs and surgery. This approach excels in emergencies and acute care, but firefighters do not teach how to prevent fires. Similarly, when a patient is discharged from the hospital after surviving a heart attack, the patient doesn’t receive guidance on preventing future health issues.
Functional medicine, on the other hand, resembles the work of a carpenter or contractor, as it focuses on repairing and rebuilding the body. We identify the underlying causes of your health concerns, much like a contractor helps you understand the root causes of a fire and works to prevent future problems. Functional medicine investigates how and why illness occurs and seeks to uncover the root cause of dysfunction within the body, addressing it directly.
We foster a connection with patients to learn more about how we can help them with functional medicine. Our approach goes beyond physical health and can help improve your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being as well.
