Holistic Approach

Have you ever had a concern or problem that, if you went for lab testing or imaging of an area, no discernable cause for it could be found?  Does that mean you don't have a problem or the symptoms you experience are not real?  Of course not!  Functional Medicine focuses on finding the "root cause" of the symptom or problem experienced and works to alleviate it. 

With certain techniques, functional disturbances can be detected early, before they show physically.  This is because energy changes before physiological changes occur in the body.  Our bodies are miraculous creations and are able to adapt to the ever-changing world we live in.  However, there may come a time when we are under a lot of stress, physical or mental or have lacked sleep, eaten poorly, etc.  If this continues long enough, the body doesn't adapt as well and illness or injury sets in.   Sometimes this process takes months or years.

By looking at the body from a functional and energetic viewpoint, these imbalances and changes can be identified early and potentially halted and changed before the physical concerns set in.

Functional medicine can bridge the gap between "ease" and "dis-ease" and focuses on a personalized regimen to get a person back to living his or her best life as quickly and effectively as possible.
