​​Functional Medicine
​​Functional medicine is focused on addressing the root cause of health issues and concerns, as well as utilizing preventative measures to guard against future health problems. Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to healing, and seeks to use the least harmful/most natural treatment options, while still using allopathic/traditional medicine approaches when needed.
