What is Integrative Medicine?
The easiest way for you to think about this is to bring a sports team to mind.
Each member of the team is really good at one particular skill set. It’s this coupling of different specialists on a team that leads to better outcomes, or a better chance of winning the game so to speak.
Why the shift towards integrative medicine?
More and more authorities across several different medical fields are recognizing the tremendous effect of modification of diet and lifestyle, along with the inclusion of natural therapies in improving outcomes.
This means a multidisciplinary approach that includes your rheumatologist and a naturopathic doctor.
Some of the tools we include in an integrative approach include:
Acupuncture
Clinical Nutrition
Hormone Replacement
Environmental Medicine
IV Nutrient Therapy
Exercise Programming
Prolotherapy
What does this mean for you?
Regardless of where you are in your journey and what condition you’ve been diagnosed with, be that Sjogren’s disease, lupus, arthritis or any other rheumatologic condition, you have the best chance of overcoming your symptoms with an integrative approach.
