What Is Integrative Medicine?

First and foremost, integrative medicine is firmly grounded in science and practiced by traditional physicians. This practice blends the best of conventional Western medicine with scientifically proven complementary and alternative therapies to address the whole person.

Integrative medicine respects and trusts the body’s inherent healing forces. Your body is, after all, an incredible and amazing work of art. Given the proper building blocks, which may include proper nutrition, sleep, mind-body techniques for stress management, exercise, a multivitamin, and sometimes supplements or bio-identical hormones, you can achieve and maintain wellness.

The goal of integrative medicine is preventive care. Prevention is the key to good health. When treatment for disease is necessary, we look first to scientifically proven natural treatments – but we use traditional medications when necessary. We address the cause of your stress, pain, or illness, and treat that – instead of just treating your physical symptoms.

How do we achieve these goals? With individualized care that combines nutritional counseling, exercise and movement routines, stress management skills, possible dietary supplements, and optimized sleep strategies designed to rebalance your life.
