Health Update: What Is Functional Medicine? Looking for the Upstream Causes of Disease
Functional medicine approaches sickness and disease by looking for the upstream causes and conditions that are creating the problem. Rather than simply treating symptoms to make them go away, functional medicine asks what is it that is actually causing the body to be sick in the first place? By treating the root cause of the problem, the symptoms will disappear all on their own.
As a chiropractor trained in functional medicine, Dr. McCollum takes on a full-picture approach to treating a problem, looking at more than just the health of the spine and nervous system, but also taking into account one’s health on the cellular level and how this may be affected by the toxins in one’s environment and the foods they eat. Functional medicine looks at the body as a whole to ensure that all the systems are working properly.
