[Murray, 4/26/2017] – Apollo Health provides an advanced, proactive health and lifestyle technique that is designed to lower the risk of illness and improve clients’ well-being. The company’s centers are now offering functional medicine as an alternative to conventional treatments for common diseases.

Functional, Patient-Focused Care

Functional medicine takes a different approach to treatment by addressing the underlying causes of an individual disease. This practice focuses on evaluating the patient’s lifestyle and health history, suggesting improvements where they are needed and applying a particular health plan for the patient. Drugs and other medication are nonessential to functional medicine, as pills and such merely seek to alleviate symptoms instead of addressing the cause of a problem. Programs based on functional medicine not only feature custom solutions but also focus particularly on individual patient needs.

Type II Diabetes

Patients who have Type II Diabetes and want more than just cookie-cutter prescriptions to patch up symptoms should look into functional medicine. Chiropractic physicians examine a patient’s detailed history and blood work, gaining insight into what other imbalances might be contributing to his/her condition. Patient involvement in coming up with a treatment plan is critical, as the process works best when patients invest in their wellness.

Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys are responsible for releasing cortisol in the human body. Stressful situations, whether physical or psychological, prompt the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which acts as the bio-functional stress relief. However, constant stress fatigues the adrenals, making them less efficient, resulting in multiple distressing symptoms like brain fog, chronic pain, anxiety, and others.

Functional medicine helps the physician and patient understand the variables influencing the patient’s biological functions. This information provides the basis for a treatment program that addresses the patient’s unique history and requirements.
