How Can a Functional Medicine Chiropractor Improve Your Health?

We are committed to providing a highly individualized, patient-centered approach to healthcare known as functional medicine. This unique approach treats our patients as a whole, rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms. Our integrative, science-based healthcare method aims to address the root causes of disease using a systems-oriented method and establish a therapeutic relationship between the patient and the practitioner.

Our chiropractic care complements functional medicine by focusing on diseases of the neurological system and musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. Our services, rooted in spinal manipulation, are most frequently utilized to treat neuromusculoskeletal symptoms, such as headaches, back, neck, and arm or leg discomfort.

We integrate functional medicine with chiropractic care to create a comprehensive approach to healthcare. This approach includes detailed histories, physical exams, and specialized testing for evaluation and diagnosis. Based on these assessments, our practitioners develop individualized treatment plans that may include chiropractic adjustments, nutritional guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and functional medicine therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, or nutraceuticals.

The integration of functional medicine and chiropractic care offers several benefits, including improved overall health and well-being, reduced inflammation and pain, enhanced nervous system function, increased energy levels, prevention and management of chronic conditions, and optimized performance and mobility. Furthermore, this integrated approach can also enhance preventive care, maintain good physical function, and catch potential issues before they become serious problems.

Our functional medicine chiropractic care is tailored to manage and treat a wide array of health issues, from musculoskeletal disorders and chronic diseases to neurological problems and mental health issues.

• Musculoskeletal Disorders: We help manage conditions that affect your muscles, bones, and joints, including arthritis, back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. By improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing, we help alleviate your symptoms and prevent chronic pain and disability.

• Chronic Diseases and Metabolic Conditions: We recognize that chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity are frequently associated with elements like an unhealthy diet, no exercise, and environmental toxins. Our functional medicine chiropractic care focuses on these root causes, helping you make lifestyle changes that can prevent, manage, and even reverse these conditions.

• Neurological Problems: Our holistic care can be beneficial for patients suffering from neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, vertigo, dizziness, nerve pain, and numbness. We manage these conditions through a combination of dietary changes, exercise, and other therapies.

• Digestive Issues: We can also help manage digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), constipation, and diarrhea.

• Hormonal Imbalances and Immune System Disorders: Our care is beneficial for hormonal imbalances such as thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as well as immune system disorders like allergies, asthma, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

• Mental Health: We also deal with mental health conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression. We understand that these conditions are often linked to physical health problems, such as chronic pain or inflammation. By treating the physical symptoms, we can help improve your mental health and well-being.

To determine if functional medicine chiropractic care is suitable for you, consider the following factors:

• If you’ve been experiencing chronic pain in your back, neck, joints, muscles, or illness without any clear cause, you may benefit from this specialized approach.
• If you have health concerns such as headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, or mood imbalances that remain unresolved despite trying traditional medical approaches.
• If you’re looking for a healthcare approach that minimizes the use of medications and invasive procedures, prioritizes preventive care, and considers all aspects of your health – physical, emotional, mental, and environmental – this type of care could be the right choice for you.
• If you prefer a personalized health plan, functional medicine chiropractic care at our center could be a good match. It is highly individualized, relying on a detailed understanding of your genetics, biochemistry, and lifestyle to tailor a treatment plan.

If any of the aforementioned conditions apply to you or you are seeking a proactive healthcare approach, consider discussing your eligibility for functional medicine chiropractic care with a qualified practitioner at The Spine and Health Center. They may offer a thorough assessment and advise you on the best course of action depending on your unique health requirements and objectives.

Our functional medicine chiropractic care may also include additional services such as nutritional counseling, laboratory testing, or supplements.

It is advisable that you have a conversation with your insurance carrier to ascertain the extent of coverage and the expected out-of-pocket costs.
