What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine is the blending of conventional medicine with holistic, complementary and alternative medicine. Integrative Medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person – body, mind, heart and spirit – including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

Integrative Medicine Can Help To:

  • Reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals
  • Reduce instances of surgery
  • Reduce hospital stays
  • Reduce the number of physicians on your team
  • Coordinate your care through one physician who oversees all physician interactions and drugs prescribed
  • Create a more comprehensive management of chronic pain and disease

How Can An Integrative Medicine Approach Improve Your Health?

We practice a team consulting approach to your healthcare encompassing the best of all therapies available, both conventional and complementary —a truly integrated approach not found at any other medical facility. Even if you see just one of our practitioners, you can still benefit from the skill and knowledge of our entire staff.

Our practitioners spend time getting to know you so we can provide the best possible care. We’ll talk with you at length about your health history and concerns, and the health goals you hope to achieve. Even after your office visit, we encourage continued communication. Integrative Medicine emphasizes the value of the therapeutic relationship between patient and practitioner.

Let us help you take charge of your health. Call today to make an appointment 518-689-2244 or learn about how our integrative medicine approach works.
