What is Functional Medicine in Benton AR?

Our health care system has gradually become a “sick” care system, focusing on controlling the symptoms as opposed to identifying and correcting the cause of the problem. Unfortunately, this has caused our state of health as a country to significantly decline. However, Functional Medicine finally offers people hope to reverse this trend.

The complexity of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, neurological disorders, and arthritis far outweigh that of conditions previously treated by our health care system. Increased complexity of diseases requires an equally comprehensive approach to treatment. Where traditional medicine has focused on the condition, functional medicine is aimed at treating the body as a whole.

Functional Medicine is a healing approach that focuses on the cause of disease rather than focusing on symptoms. Similar to when your car’s ‘Check Engine light goes off, symptoms in the body tell us something IS wrong but not WHAT is wrong. When we focus on the cause and correct that cause, the body will be better equipped to heal itself. Functional Medicine utilizes a customized plan that includes nutritional, dietary, and therapeutic treatments to aid the body in healing from the inside out.

One question we often ask here at Apex Health is “Why is the body doing this?” Through this approach, we consider the unique genetic, environmental, and occupational factors that may be contributing to a person's sickness. By doing so, we can focus on individualizing an effective plan to help improve a person's health status.

Integrated Approach
At Apex Health, our integrated approach sets us apart. Diet, exercise, and vitamins are great, but are they enough to help a person overcome the complex condition they are suffering from? Oftentimes, the answer to that is no. We combine these aspects with technologically advanced therapies to help the body heal more effectively.
