Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is personalized health care for the individual. A clinical model that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of just the symptoms associated with serious and life-altering chronic diseases. It is a science-based field of health care that is grounded in the following principles:

• Patient-centered health care emphasizes "patient care" rather than "disease care".
• Extensive testing to find out which organ systems are involved in the disease process.
• Health as a positive vitality - not merely the absence of disease.

By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of health care to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine address the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. We tend to spend much more time with our patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. The treatment programs provided by Advanced Wellness and Injury Center introduce an individualized treatment plan for the specific causes of that unique individual's disease.
