Why Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine blends the best of traditional medicine and safe, complementary, or alternative therapies to help the body heal. Doctors of integrative medicine look at the patient holistically, to treat and heal the whole person- and may assess a patient in different ways in addition to traditional medical examinations and lab tests.
Integrative Medical Doctors Search for the Root Cause of Illness
Identifying and treating the root cause of illness or imbalance is a tenet of integrative and functional medicine. National Integrated Health Associates doctors address health issues at the root cause. This integrative medical approach can be more effective than traditional medicine, as we are not just treating the symptoms of disease, but trying to correct the problem at the source.
We provide advanced lab tests and assessments which are useful in telling us how the body is functioning and help to identify the root cause of your health issue. With that information, we create a treatment plan to correct the underlying issues.
Our professional health team includes integrative and functional medical physicians, holistic dentists, naturopathic physicians, and health professionals highly skilled in chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, IV therapies, and other healing therapies.
The Dental Component to Health
It has been said that “the mouth is the gateway to health.”
Good oral care helps the body’s defenses against germs and infections that can affect any part of the body. A daily routine of good oral hygiene promotes strong teeth, healthy gums, and a whiter smile but also decreased risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, heart disease, cancer, and even infertility. Our dental team has additional training in understanding the intricacies of the mouth to overall health, and use this knowledge to treat patients. They provide general and cosmetic dentistry with a gentle, holistic approach for adults and children. This means no mercury fillings, and the use of biocompatible materials that do not harm the body for dental procedures.
