Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine, a bridge between conventional and complementary medicine, was born in response to the need to look at disease from a broader perspective.
Integrative medicine combines the knowledge of conventional medicine with other complementary medicines that have been scientifically proven to be effective, such as acupuncture or stress management.
This medical discipline focuses not only on attacking the disease but also on the reason for its origin and on strengthening all physiological mechanisms so that the body can fight the disease and restore health. This also requires blood tests to be able to detect nutritional deficits, silent infections or metabolic alterations that can be corrected
Conventional medicine is highly effective in the treatment of acute illnesses, but does not offer all the answers in the management of chronic diseases. Integrative Medicine offers by combining the knowledge of conventional medicine and natural medicines better management of chronic diseases.
Integrative Medicine is especially useful in the management of diseases such as:
- Autoimmune Diseases
- Headaches and Migraines
- Gynecological Disorders
- Digestive Problems
- Chronic Fatigue
- Acute and Chronic Pain
- Cancer and management of side effects derived from the treatment
- Anxiety disorders
