Integrative Medicine – clearly a better way Integrative Medicine is a newly emerging and, we believe, vastly superior way of practicing medicine. Drawing from many different healing traditions – the most advanced Western practices (gynecology, internal medicine and endocrinology), psychology, hypnosis, acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, nutrition, fitness, massage therapy, reflexology, and aromatherapy, – Integrative Medicine also encompasses functional medicine, tapping into the latest advances in biochemistry, genetic research and molecular biology. Combining all these different disciplines provides a more comprehensive picture of patient health. And, most importantly, allows us to offer you a wider variety of therapeutic options when making your own healthcare decisions. At Women’s Medical Group of Irvine you’ll be amazed at the thoroughness of our exams, as we explore every relevant detail of your past and present situation. We discuss your current symptoms, while also finding out about lifestyle circumstances such as stress, sleep patterns, levels of physical activity, exposures to environmental toxins, and eating habits. We often test for markers of adrenal dysfunction, inflammation and hormonal imbalance. And we always discuss our findings with you, before making recommendations. This is why we schedule appointments for a full 30 minutes - quality healthcare simply cannot be squeezed into the five to ten minute rushed visit you may get elsewhere. By starting with a more detailed clinical picture and discussing options thoroughly, we are able to craft a treatment plan more suited to you and your lifestyle and, consequently, more likely to succeed. This program typically emphasizes natural therapies, herbal supplementation and medical foods, because they are less harmful, avoid the dangerous, yet all-too-common, side effects of many pharmaceuticals and surgeries, and are often more effective in the long run. This is not to say that we avoid the use of pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures, only that we use them when they are the most medically appropriate options. We often blend the use of Western and natural treatments to produce the best outcomes. Integrative Medicine holds the promise of more effective cures, tailored to your own unique genetics and body chemistry. We believe that this approach is the clearest path and best hope to helping you attain a sense of positive well- being and maintain your youthful enthusiasm for life. |
