Functional Integrative Medicine, or “Functional Medicine” serves as a bridge between conventional, allopathic Medicine, and alternative healthcare. We take an “integrative” approach to your healthcare by utilizing science-based investigation tools such as comprehensive clinical lab testing in order to determine the actual biochemical cause of a patients’ problem; we then use natural and alternative means help stabilize and correct it.
Not to be confused with the practice of conventional “Medicine” as defined by Texas Law; Chiropractic-based Functional Medicine does not seek to diagnose or treat any diseases or medical conditions, other than those of the human musculoskeletal system…only a licensed Medical or Osteopathic Doctor is allowed to do that in Texas. What Functional Medicine does hope to accomplish, is to investigate and determine the etiology of any structural or functional pathology or other abnormality of the biomechanical system; stabilize and correct any aberrant pathology or abnormality, and manage the state of the underlying biochemical physiology, without the use of incisive procedures or drug therapy.
