Functional Medicine

“Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and seeks to address the root causes of disease in an individual.” -Institute of Functional Medicine.

The tree pictured above represents exactly how functional medicine works.

The tree dies because of what’s underground, not above ground.

Your body works the same way. If you are experiencing anything above ground it started on the inside (below ground).

Adding “mulch” (medication) doesn’t fix what’s below ground, it just covers it up.

Functional medicine care starts with a thorough medical history and laboratory testing to arrive at a diagnosis. Treatments may include: nutritional counseling, rehabilitative exercises, neurological exercises, mindfulness practices, supplementation, hydrotherapy, chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, massage, visceral manipulation, or more.
