Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
A Functional Medicine approach to patient care works to address potential underlying causes of diseases using a system-based approach. Often there is an imbalance in a physiological system that needs to be addressed. Lifestyle changes are a critical part of the treatment plan for most patients. When potential inflammatory triggers are removed from a patient’s lifestyle, and healthy lifestyle habits are initiated, health benefits can be achieved. The ultimate goal is to reestablish balance within the body, and to restore a feeling of wellness. This is done by engaging that patient in a therapeutic partnership as their health issues are thoroughly evaluated.
