The process of finding a new general practitioner or family doctor can be a long and winding road. You want to find someone you feel comfortable with, someone who cares, and most of all someone who has an excellent education and is passionate and great at what they do. Why should finding functional medicine doctors be any different? We’re here to explain why the doctors at the American Regenerative Clinic locations are the best functional medicine doctors near you.
What Is Functional Medicine?
But first, what exactly is functional medicine? Functional medicine is a truly patient-centered approach to treatment. It is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers both practitioners and patients by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease. Functional medicine allows practitioners to practice the treatment of the whole individual, instead of just eliminating a set of symptoms and treating those.
In today’s conventional medicine, we often see practitioners outlining a diagnosis based on symptoms, and then treating those symptoms with expensive drugs, or expensive surgeries, without understanding the diagnosis from a holistic standpoint. Functional medicine offers an approach to correct that and looks at each patient’s case in a personalized way.
The American Regenerative Clinic lives by the rules of functional medicine and you will notice this because your first appointment will always be a deep dive into your medical history, lifestyle, eating habits, exercise regime, etc. so the doctor can get a holistic view of your body and lifestyle. You’ll also always find that our doctors speak to you in a language you can understand so that you feel like a part of your health and wellness journey.
