September 13, 2017 Reasons for You to Consider Getting Treatment from Functional Medicine Practitioners What most people appreciate about functional medicine is that the practice makes the effort to dig deep to find the root cause of a patient’s health problems. They see that as a vast improvement from most treatment modes that seem to focus only on the symptoms. Functional medicine is viewed as providing a permanent solution that mitigates the possibility of recurrence. Apart from that, however, there are also other benefits that you can enjoy from subscribing to functional medicine. [1]
Bespoke, Personal Care One of the biggest concerns of patients is that they do not receive sufficient attention, and that the care provided is too impersonal. The doctors in the traditional setting usually appear very rushed and only have but a few moments to accommodate their patients. It can be very disappointing to have to wait in line at the doctor’s office for hours only to be allotted a few minutes for diagnosis and treatment. Because of the rush, patients end up only rattling off a list of their symptoms, based on which they can either be sent to the lab for more tests or be prescribed with medications. In functional medicine, the doctors take the time to really understand the condition and the needs of the patient. This is a crucial element in their practice because the premise of functional medicine is that each and everybody is unique in how they function. As such, a generic, across-the-board treatment for people displaying the same symptoms will still not necessarily work. With functional medicine, patients get to enjoy a more personalized interaction with their doctor, which also allow them to better understand what is going on with their bodies. Preemptive and Proactive Functional medicine does not simply seek to treat conditions, but most importantly, to try and prevent disorders from happening in the first place. That is why they endeavor to go to the very root of the problem. Inflammations, for example, can lead to a variety of other ailments and conditions. The same goes for thyroid or hormonal imbalances. By going at the source, the patient improves their chances of steering clear from the development of other diseases, including cardiovascular problems, autoimmune issues, and more. [2]
Cost-Efficiency Arbitrary prescription of drugs do not happen in functional medicine. And because the goal is to ultimately find the source of the problem so that it can be sufficiently addressed, recurrence is mitigated, which then translates to savings in medical costs. Identifying the root cause of the problem may take time, but it is necessary for choosing modes of treatment that will provide a permanent solution.
