We believe that a balanced body leads to self-health, and that we support this by using the best healing methods to help achieve this balance.
Functional Medicine's goals are to find the root cause of ailments or potential ailments and address them with both active and preventative measures.
This is medicine for the 21st century, where the doctor and patient engage in a mutually supportive responsibility of Wellness.
We prefer not to wait until a disease can be named, then treat. We instead try and keep you as healthy as possible by addressing Life Style changes.
If, on the other hand, you develop a medical moniker, then going back to the root cause is our goal; not just applying band-aides to the symptoms.
