Functional Wellness and Chiropractic Center offers a variety of functional medicine services. Functional medicine is designed to treat people with chronic diseases like diabetes or various autoimmune disorders. Conventional medicine, by contrast, often focuses on acute conditions like appendicitis or broken bones that require medical intervention for a relatively brief time and may not be affected by the patient’s genetic makeup or their environment. Functional medicine, by contrast, is a type of holistic medicine in Madison that considers the whole patient. The doctor will investigate such matters as the patient’s genetics or where they live when determining the cause of their condition. Functional medicine also employs techniques from both conventional and alternative medicine, and the doctor will use those techniques that they believe will be most helpful to the patient. What can the patient expect from holistic medicine in Madison?
The patient can expect personalized care tailored to their needs. The doctor will begin by taking a detailed medical history. They will then have the patient undergo a variety of tests. Some of them will be laboratory tests similar to those used in conventional medicine to identify diseases and determine how well the patient’s organs are working.
The doctor may also recommend a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure the patient’s body composition and determine the percentages of fat and lean muscle. They may also suggest saliva hormone testing to check the patient’s hormone levels.
After completing the examination, the doctor will recommend a personalized care plan to restore the patient to health. The plan can include any of the following:
- Diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes
- Detox programs
- Stress management
- Nutritional and herbal supplements
- Chiropractic treatments
- Trigger point therapy
- Physical therapy
