You’ve probably heard of integrative medicine, but do you know what to expect if you were to turn to our Florence, SC, integrative medicine doctors for treatment or care? We want people to understand what makes integrative medicine different from conventional medicine. Integrative medicine takes a whole-body approach to treating or managing many acute and chronic conditions. After all, we know that everything from your environment and diet to your gut health and hormones plays a role in your health and well-being.
Our Integrative Medicine Team is Always Patient-Focused
Most people turn to doctors because they don’t understand what their bodies are trying to tell them. Of course, our integrative medicine doctors will work with you to ensure that you get the individualized and holistic care you need and fully understand the treatments you are getting at all times and take an active interest in your health.
This close partnership with our patients ensures they take a vested and hands-on approach to their health. Personalized medical care also provides that patients don’t just feel like a number when they walk into our office.
We Help You Avoid Those More Invasive Treatments
While surgery may be necessary for some patients, we believe there are many conditions out there that can respond well to a mix of traditional and alternative treatments. It is important to exhaust all these different treatment options before turning to more aggressive treatments. In fact, integrative medicine could prevent surgery.
We Can Prevent Health Problems
Integrative medicine also focuses on providing patients with the education they need to lead healthier lives. With this valuable information, many people can prevent common and even severe illnesses from happening to them. For example, by incorporating certain lifestyle modification recommendations from our doctors, such as exercising regularly and eating a healthier diet, you could reduce your risk for diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health problems.
We Provide More Comprehensive Management of Chronic Health Issues
Integrative medicine can also be a significant benefit to patients dealing with chronic health problems. We know that patients deal not just with physical ailments due to many common chronic diseases but also mental and emotional issues. Integrative medicine provides the holistic care you need to improve your mind, body and spirit. Our goal is to improve your health and your quality of life.
