What is Functional Medicine?  The most basic definition would be finding the root cause of a health problem by utilizing the most appropriate and up to date metabolic testing and support available.  Simply put, we employ modern day testing such as bloodwork, urinalysis, stool testing, metabolic testing, adrenal stress testing and numerous other tests to find the root cause of your health issue.  Once the problem is identified, we then initiate dietary changes, nutritional supplementation and all other necessary lifestyle modifications to achieve incredible results.

What conditions can be helped with functional medicine? The better question would be which conditions can't be helped with functional medicine?  The reason is because there aren't any.  No matter what you are dealing with, improving your lifestyle and the nutrition that you consume can only serve to make you better.  In our clinic, we see especially good results with people suffering from fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, chronic neck and back pain, thyroid disorders,  obesity and just about all chronic pain syndromes. 

The neurometabolic advantage.  While most healthcare in the United States still focuses on medical management of health problems, some practitioners are catching on to the benefits of functional medicine.  So why should you seek functional medicine by a Chiropractor?  It's easy.  We have what I like to call the neurometabolic advantage. In order to get the best results possible, a patient should be approached neurologically and metabolically.  In our office, we utilize functional neurology as well as metabolic care so we have the whole spectrum covered.  

What is Brain Based Therapy?  Many patients who suffer from chronic pain syndromes have weaknesses in the cerebellum or other lobes of the brain.  These weaknesses can develop slowly over time and while they are not an actual disease, can manifest in many different ways such as tremors, balance issues or pain.  By using simple functional neurology exercises and techniques, we can gain correction in these weaknesses and experience amazing results.
