Integrative Medicine Consult
You and your provider will work to identify the underlying root causes of illness
As you share information about yourself and your health, you and your provider will work to identify the underlying root causes of illness
Over multiple visits, patients share information about themselves. This might include how they feel physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Patients discuss their environment and what is happening within their community.
Integrative Medicine Physicians create a timeline of these personal stories and events. This timeline helps identify the possible root cause of illness. Physicians introduce alternative medicine therapies and partner with Behavior Health Physicians to develop a personalized patient treatment plan.
In an IM consult, we will discuss many aspects of a patient’s life including: diet/nutrition, movement/exercise, sources of stress, stress reduction practices, social support, meaning and purpose, and spirituality.
Services include care for common functional disorders such as:
- Migraine
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Functional Dyspepsia
- Chronic Pelvic Pain
Integrative medicine goes beyond a diagnosis and prescription. It is a slower approach to medicine. The goal is to not just treat the symptoms. We want to identify the underlying root causes of illness.
