Functional Medicine in Erie CO

Functional medicine determines how and why a dis-ease occurs by addressing the underlying cause. It is also a much more whole body approach rather than looking at just one or two symptoms a patient may be having. Contact our Erie CO chiropractic clinic today to learn more.

Dig Deeper In Erie CO

In order to dig deeper, FM practitioners spend quite a bit of one-on-one time with patients, especially with the initial history taking, and typically do more in-depth testing than traditional doctors. Testing often includes comprehensive bloodwork, hormone testing, stool samples, food allergy testing, and more. Treatments tend to include dietary changes, detoxification programs of the liver, gut, or cells, certain pharmaceutical-grade supplements, and lifestyle changes.

Some common root causes we work with are nutritional deficiencies, poor gut health, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, environmental toxicities, and reduced organ function. Symptoms of these issues typically include fatigue, brain fog, joint and muscle pain, anxiety/mood changes, stomach pain, rashes, poor blood pressure control, weight gain, and a general sense of malaise. By addressing the underlying causes, rather than masking the symptoms with medication, we can often have patients feeling much better with a focus on long-term health and a prevention of further health issues.

Dr. Sam also loves working with prevention patients, patients who may have a few minor symptoms and want to make sure they work on their health to prevent any new issues from developing.

We offer free 15 minute consults at the office with Dr. Sam to determine if functional medicine is a good fit for you. Call or e-mail us if you are interested in setting up an appointment or if you have any more questions!
