How is an integrative approach to medicine different?
Integrative medicine is the practice of medicine that focuses on the whole person and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing. Integrative medicine is based upon a model of health and wellness, as opposed to a model of disease. Whenever possible, integrative medicine favors the use of low-tech, low-cost interventions. Coordinating all of the care given to a patient is a cornerstone of the integrative medicine approach. Our physician works in tandem with our other practitioners such as your nutritionist, massage therapist, and acupuncturist. Back to the top.
