Functional Medicine (FM) is a type of medical practice whose aim is to get to the source of one’s ailment instead of focusing on symptom relief. In other words, FM is not about putting a band-aid on a bleeding artery, but rather, finding the specific artery and treating it. Functional Medicine invites integrative care, such as nutrition, hormone replacement therapy, chiropractic care, podiatric care, physical therapy, and massage as ways to capture the maximum healing power we all need and deserve.
