Integrative Medicine uses a systems-oriented approach to address the underlying causes of illness – not just attempt to treat symptoms with drugs and pharmaceuticals. Integrative medicine doctors examine the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can impact long-term health, vitality, and chronic disease. We first start with extensive patient histories, physical examination, and laboratory testing that goes far beyond what most people have experienced in the past. We then conduct an in-depth analysis of the data to develop an individualized plan. This plan addresses identified and at-risk conditions in order to sustain wellness and improve vitality.
