What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of disease and dysfunction. We consider the entire body when evaluating your health and personalizing your treatment plan, not just the single system or issue at hand. Rather than just treating symptoms, functional medicine seeks to restore balance and function to the body's systems, allowing for lasting improvements in health and well-being.
