What is Functional Medicine?
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories, and looking at interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health, and complex chronic diseases in this way. Functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
Not all Chiropractors have been trained in the art and science of the functional medicine model with not only the diagnosis and treatment of spinal and related neurological dysfunction, but also the breakdown of individual body systems and the close balance these internal systems must maintain for proper and optimal health.
At Smith Chiropractic Clinic we offer different types of diagnostic testing in finding the answer to your health challenge.
Well Life Screening is a blood test to identify possible underlying causes of your symptoms. Discover possible underlying causes of:
- Chronic Fatigue
- Weight gain with inability to lose it
- Chronic pain
- Allergies
- Auto immune condition
- Digestive issues
- Cardiovascular symptoms
- Anxiety/Depression
I frequently hear from patients, “I had a blood test and everything was “normal” but I still don’t feel right.”
Standard blood tests only screen for Very Low or Very High indicators.
Our preventative screening also highlights conditions that are sub-acute and are generally not evaluated or acted on from a routine blood chemistry review.
My approach involves an in depth evaluation using blood chemistry to identify possible underlying causes of your health challenges. I then can organize a non-drug treatment designed from your evaluation using nutraceuticals and lifestyle changes to bring the body back into balance. While at the same time monitoring the effectiveness of treatment in resolving your symptoms.
