WHAT IS
INTEGRATIVE
MEDICINE
?
Integrative medicine is an approach to care that puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health.
Integrative medicine combines modern medicine with established approaches from around the world. By joining modern medicine with proven practices from other healing traditions, integrative practitioners are better able to relieve suffering, reduce stress, maintain the well-being, and enhance the resilience of their patients.
Employing a personalized strategy that considers the patient’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances, it uses the most appropriate interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to heal illness and disease and help people regain and maintain optimum health.
How integrative medicine works:

All factors that influence health, wellness and disease are taken into consideration, including body, mind, spirit and community.
-
Providers use all healing sciences to facilitate the body’s innate healing response.

Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry driven and open to new paradigms.
