What Do You Know About a Functional Approach to Healing?
This natural and effective treatment method is about a full body approach to pain, discomfort, illness, and dysfunction. This step-by-step process is designed to treat individuals no matter what the diagnosis or lack of diagnosis may be.
This approach looks at all the symptoms that the body is emitting, as one diagnosis may be caused by several different factors, rather than one specific piece of the puzzle.

How will a functional blood work analysis benefit me?
There are several benefits to a functional treatment approach. However, we believe the three-fold tier that Science Based Medicine lays out illustrates the key aspects of this approach best:
- Functional approach offers a powerful new operating system and clinical model for assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease to replace the outdated and ineffective acute-care models carried forward from the 20th century.
- Functional approach incorporates understanding of how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the emergence and progression of disease.
- Functional approach enables physicians and other health professionals to practice proactive, predictive, personalized medicine and empowers patients to take an active role in their own health.
This approach allows patients to take charge of their treatment plan, without worrying about potentially harmful environmental factors that could cause their condition to worsen. For example, a large part of our functional approach is focused around wellness and nutrition. Yes – simple lifestyle and dietary changes can make a world of a difference in helping treat the many causes of your pain or discomfort.
Do you have or suspect you have autoimmune conditions, including thyroid conditions; achy joints; fatigue or depleted energy; brain fog; or hormonal issues? You may benefit from having a functional blood work analysis.
The whole focus around functional medicine is natural pain relief – helping patients understand what will help them and employing those measures into their daily lives, without the need for aggressive treatment or pain-management medication.
