What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine means taking a holistic approach to maintaining your child's health. The body's systems all work together and affect each other, so keeping them functioning appropriately and in sync is the main goal to stay healthy.

Our providers emphasize thorough examinations and discussions to provide them with a deeper understanding of the patient as a whole. These help with finding the root cause of any symptoms and identifying conditions early so we can intervene with treatment.

What Are the Benefits?

Our approach to treating the whole person helps your family stay healthy without unnecessary medicine because we don't lean on medications to resolve symptoms. The approach of addressing the root cause of a problem helps symptoms fall away naturally without drugs. If you are in serious pain we can of course recommend pain medication, but it will never be the main treatment for an issue.

Your family's lifestyle and habits will always be considered when formulating a treatment plan personal to your child and this only increases the success of treatment. A doctor that provides the benefits of both Western and Eastern, and alternative medicine gives you more options if your child needs treatment for any illness or condition.
