What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is a holistic medical discipline that focuses on the interaction between your mind, body, and spirit. This discipline embraces modern healthcare practices of diagnosis and treatment and also employs a systems-oriented approach to identity and eradicate the root cause of a disease.
The treatments may include therapeutic modalities such as yoga, massage, or acupuncture. It also incorporates:
- Food as a medicine
- Acknowledges the mind-body connection
- Helps patients to curb factors related to chronic diseases
- Effective for treating obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypertension
Integrative Medicine specialists believe that poor lifestyle choices are the main cause of many chronic diseases. Integrative medicine experts help you make the right lifestyle choices. We design personalized health plans for your overall well-being
