What Is Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is an evidence-based approach to personalized patient care, which focuses on finding and treating the root causes of chronic diseases as opposed to attempting to band-aid their symptoms. Functional medicine recognizes the human body is not a disjointed mix of individual organs but a dynamic and connected system which functions best when all its parts work optimally and in harmony.

 

 

 

At Medicatrix, our mission is to find out why you suffer from a condition. We do this while carefully using information acquired from your personal history, physical exam findings, environmental exposures, dietary history, and genetic predispositions, combining these fields with thoughtfully obtained data from advanced labs and imaging studies. Most of the laboratory studies ordered at Medicatrix are not even available at an average medical office. Your health care needs are met with the most up-to-date scientific methods and are handled with extreme care and compassion.
