Integrative medicine is a holistic medical discipline which takes into account the lifestyle habits of a patient. The physician works to treat the whole person rather than just the disease. The mind, body, and soul of a patient are taken into consideration to promote healing and well-being. Integrative medicine uses a combination of modern healthcare practices to diagnose and treat a patient.
After diagnosis and treatment, an Integrative Medicine patient can expect that his or her symptoms will diminish in severity. In addition, he/she will be able to enjoy a renewed sense of well-being and a significant increase in health and vitality.
In addition, educating patients about their conditions empowers them to take charge of their own health, ultimately leading to greater success in treatment.
It has been said that “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.” Sir William Osler, one of the first professors at John Hopkins University School of Medicine and later its Physician- in-Chief.
