Integrative Functional Medicine

 

 

Integrative functional medicine is the combination of many modalities in addition to your traditional medical plan but not in place of it

 

While many IFM practitioners are alternative medicine or Chinese Medicine providers, it is increasingly more common for traditional medicine doctors to cross over into this field.   

Important things to consider when choosing an integrative functional medicine practitioner:

  • They should work well with your doctor – this is a team effort and communication is key
  • Focusing on holistic and alternative treatments that will complement your medical treatments, not replace them
  • Insuring your treatments are safe, effective and reliable
  • Having a whole body approach that not only works with traditional medicine but is suitable for your situation and lifestyle
