According to the World Health Organization,
health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
To promote healthy patient lifestyles, our
philosophy is based upon integrative medicine, which combines
conventional medicine with the modern application of traditional and
natural therapies.
The use of integrative medicine promotes
recovery and slows or prevents disease initiation; but mostly it
helps people stay healthy. Knowledge of integrative medicine allows
the whole person to be treated as opposed to the disease
alone.
Conventional Vs. Integrative
MedicineConventional medicine, the mainstay of medical practice for
the last 50 years, treats the symptoms of disease and provides
temporary relief through the use of synthetic medication and costly
procedures. Though necessary at times, this practice is often
expensive, partially effective, and limited in its treatment
options. We go beyond this partial solution by focusing on the
whole body and why it is not functioning in a healthy
manner.
Integrative Benefits
When patients
understand the benefits of integrative medicine and its use, they
are able to both strengthen the immune system and decrease the
chances of becoming ill. The use of integrative medicine, therefore,
has a more long term and healing effect. These long term results can
decrease the number of sick days, time in the hospital, and money
spent on health care. Unlike conventional medicine the use of
natural integrative medicine has fewer if any side effects, and can
be more readily used by babies, children, and the
elderly.
Integrative Focus
Prevention is the best medicine. With
this in mind, we set ourselves apart by focusing on homeopathy,
vitamins, herbs, minerals, supplements, and nutritional therapy to
promote long-term health. We believe health care must be tailored to
the individual, because there is no common cure for everyone.
Through individual attention our patients learn and gain a
sense of self-reliance and responsibility for their own
health.
Integrative Quality
Our
philosophy of integrative medicine and health care is consistent
with the products we prescribe. Patients have access to the highest
quality professional vitamin, homeopathic and nutraceutical brands.
Many of these products are organically grown and free of dyes,
fillers, and common allergens. Additionally these professional only
formulations are tested to guarantee potency, quality and lack of
contamination with heavy metals, pestacides or any other
environmental toxins.
