The Functional Medicine Approach

The functional medicine analysis of the biochemical processes of a person's physiology fits congruently within the vitalistic philosophical model of chiropractic healthcare.  The functional medicine approach is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based system that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease to promote progression towards the patient's optimal level of wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages objective data and subjective information to direct personalized treatment plans to address the underlying root causes of dysfunction of the patients profile.
