What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine (also known as Functional Medicine) at Wellness Medicine in Clifton Hill is directed at trying to treat the whole person rather than just a presenting symptom or disease. Doing this effectively requires that you, the patient, are a partner in the diagnostic and treatment process. The approach requires considering the likely most important underlying causes of whatever is troubling you and identifying those factors likely to help you to re-capture and maintain better health.
