Integrative medicine combines standard medical treatments with complementary and alternative medicine. The integrative medicine approach considers the whole person—body, mind, spirit, and community—to get the big picture of your health.
Care is focused on prevention, health maintenance, and healing, recognizing the body’s ability to heal itself, often without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
Many people who suffer from health issues and are not seeing results from conventional medicine may find integrative medicine helpful.
Integrative medicine can be used for a wide range of health issues, including: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc.
Talk with your primary care provider to see if integrative medicine may be useful for your health conditions and goals. They can give you a referral for an integrative medicine visit.
Integrative medicine incorporates complementary medicine. Complementary medicine combines non-mainstream health practices with conventional medical treatments. These approaches are intended to enhance, not replace, standard medical care.
