Brief Summary
Integrative Medicine is an approach to health that addresses a person's mental, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental factors. Chronic diseases are best treated if the root cause is addressed, improving one's overall health. Health is defined by the WHO as "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Many national institutions, such as the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, American Diabetes Association, and more, all affirm that lifestyle modifications are the number one treatment and prevention for the most common disorders: high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. The generic term "lifestyle modifications" encompasses many aspects that can be impacted by Integrative Medicine. Patients present to be treated by Integrative Medicine practitioners frequently, and we would like to see how their quality of life is improving by being treated by this practice approach.
