Functional Medicine
At Connected Healing in Franklin, WI, we are proud to offer functional medicine as a core part of our services. Our licensed acupuncturists are trained in functional medicine and have a deep understanding of how to use this holistic approach to help our patients achieve optimal health and wellness.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness and disease. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or procedures, functional medicine aims to understand the underlying factors that contribute to health problems....and address things from that level.
It’s an integrative approach to healthcare that considers the whole person, taking into consideration each person’s unique genetic, biochemical, environmental, and lifestyle factors to develop a personalized treatment plan. Functional medicine practitioners view the body as a complex network of interconnected systems and aims to address imbalances or dysfunctions within these systems to promote optimal health, vitality, and resilience.
Our licensed acupuncturists use a range of tools, including advanced laboratory testing and conducting an extensive health history to identify imbalances in the body. Based on this information, they develop a personalized treatment plan to address the underlying cause of the condition. Treatment plans often incorporate a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, supplements, herbal therapy, stress management techniques, and other alternative therapies.
Our goal is to encourage patients to actively participate in their own health journey, make informed decisions about their healthcare, and take responsibility for their own well-beingl.
