We look beyond the chief complaint and explore the patient’s medical history, symptoms, medications and supplements, nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, gastrointestinal health, previous injuries, lifestyle and environmental exposures where relevant.
When clinically appropriate and within the scope of the treating provider, laboratory findings and other health information can help us better understand patterns involving areas such as metabolic health, blood sugar regulation, nutritional status, inflammation, thyroid function and other physiological systems.
Laboratory testing is interpreted in the context of the patient’s symptoms, history and conventional medical diagnoses not in isolation.
We examine areas that may be appropriate to address, including:
Nutrition and dietary patterns, Nutrient adequacy, Physical inactivity, Sleep, Stress, Weight and body composition, Digestive health
Musculoskeletal dysfunction, Medication and supplement considerations, Lifestyle habits, Environmental and occupational factors where relevant
Cardiometabolic risk factors
Recommendations are personalized rather than automatically determined by a diagnosis.
Depending upon the individual, a wellness plan may incorporate nutrition, exercise, corrective movement, stress-management strategies, sleep optimization, chiropractic or other physical approaches, and carefully selected nutritional or botanical support when appropriate.
Health is dynamic.
We monitor symptoms, function, objective measurements and appropriate laboratory findings to determine whether the plan should be continued, modified or referred for additional medical evaluation.
