Functional Medicine: Target the Cause of Pain to Get Total Healing

Healing that gets you on your feet and keeps you active is healing that targets the root cause of your dysfunction. This is also the goal of functional medicine – To identify and treat the underlying driver of your problem so you can return to your normal life for the long term. Ideal for managing complex injuries and diseases, it looks at you as a whole, individual person, to address all of the factors affecting your health and wellbeing.

At the heart of functional medicine is the acknowledgement that every person is an individual who lives, works, sleeps and plays in a distinctly unique environment. And, functional medicine recognizes that this environment can affect their bodies and health in completely individual ways. As a result, functional medicine practitioners focus on understanding you and your circumstances and helping you handle disease and injury in a way that most benefits you.

Functional medicine can also be used to help you maintain your health and wellness for the long term. Once you and your provider deeply understand the factors that affect your wellbeing, you can begin to take charge of your life in a way that supports your health.
