Frequently Asked Questions
HOW CAN INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE HELP ME?
The first thing is to be open to receiving different treatments, techniques, and thought processes that your body will react to in a positive way. This is the fundamental principle for integrative medicine to help you.
Integrative medicine physicians work together with all members of your healthcare team to heal from the inside out. Their expertise lies in preventing, educating and connecting mind, body and soul to assist you in managing, even reverse, chronic diseases or just help you to improve the quality of your current health and lifespan. They don’t treat acute medical problems as emergencies, you should seek help from your primary care or emergency medicine physician.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE THERAPIES?
Integrative medicine techniques support your body’s natural ability to heal.
