At our Age Management Center integrative medicine is a holistic medical discipline which takes into account the lifestyle habits of a patient.
The physician works to treat the whole person rather than just the disease. The mind, body, and soul of a patient are taken into consideration to promote healing and well-being.
Integrative medicine uses a combination of modern healthcare practices to diagnose and treat a patient. Treatments may include such modalities as acupuncture, yoga, or massage.
Integrative medicine also focuses on the nutritional and exercise habits of the patient to curb factors related to obesity and diabetes.

What is Functional Medicine
Functional medicine embraces much of the philosophy of Integrative medicine as described above but also employs a systems-oriented medical approach that works to identify and understand the underlying or root causes of disease.
Functional medicine takes into account the personalization of healthcare, as each patient care plan is distinct and unique.
The relationship between patient and practitioner effectively becomes a partnership; every aspect of a patient’s medical history is reviewed in detail.
