Integrative/Functional Medicine
Integrative Medicine is a holistic discipline that employs many ways to evaluate and assess function within the body. This integrative approach focuses on identifying malfunctions and underlying conditions at the root of most common health challenges. We focus on correcting malfunctions of the hormones, immune, digestive, detoxification and intestinal barrier systems. By establishing integrative treatment protocols, we are able to deliver improved clinical outcomes and support a healthcare community that practices healing by addressing the mind, body and spirit.
Functional Medicine employs functional laboratory assessments to address the underlying causes of malfunction in the body (health complaints). Functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. The focus of functional medicine is systems, not symptoms. This whole body health approach focuses on correcting malfunctions of the hormones, immune, digestive, detoxification and intestinal barrier systems. Herbal/Nutraceutical Medicine
As part of an integrative approach to overall health and vitality, herbal and nutraceutical medicines are prescribed by our Board Certified Integrative Medicine practitioner. These formulas are customized to your overall treatment plan and aid in expediting the healing processes. Our convenient, online dispensary allows for easy ordering and home delivery of your prescribed nutraceuticals.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking Cessation is the process of discontinuing the practice of inhaling a smoked substance. Some of the largest stumbling blocks to becoming smoke-free are the stress, anxiety, and depression associated with quitting. Fortunately, acupuncture is quite successful at calming and relaxing the mind, reducing anxiety, and alleviating depressive feelings. There are several acupuncture points and auricular points used to accomplish this. Additional points may be used to help suppress your appetite, stimulate the repair and healing of organ systems, and reduce cravings.
Bio-Energetic Testing
Every cell and thus every organ, requires voltage to function and replace itself when it is depleted. Muscles are “rechargeable batteries” and are stacked like batteries in a flashlight to create a power-pack for each organ. These stacks of muscle batteries are what have been known as acupuncture meridians. When voltage drops, organs don’t function efficiently and can’t make new cells to keep themselves maintained. Subsequently chronic disease begins to occur because your body is losing the ability to make new cells that can function properly. This is then almost always accompanied by failure of the muscle-battery-pack (meridian) connected to the organ. Determining why the battery pack (acupuncture meridian) cannot hold a proper electrical charge, is paramount to addressing and treating chronic disease. (Additional information about this very unique process can be obtained by reading “Healing is Voltage” by Jerry L. Tennant, M.D..
