What to Expect During Functional Medicine Cancer Support Sessions
If you’ve never been to a functional medicine cancer support session, you might be wondering what to expect. A certified practitioner at One Source Integrative Medicine will begin the appointment with a comprehensive set of questions to determine your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Chronic pain, nausea, and other symptoms are also taken into consideration. From there, the practitioner will develop a treatment plan that’s personalized just for you and may include one or several different types of therapies like acupuncture, yoga, massage, and qigong.
Treatment plans will be several weeks long with multiple sessions occurring a week—most patients report an increase in wellness after just a few sessions and opt to continue recommended practices to maintain their levels of well-being.
