Create Health with Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is a science-based healthcare approach that assesses and treats underlying causes of illness through individually tailored therapies to restore health and improve function.

A term that has been used in Europe for many years. It is just beginning to be used in America in recent months. Functional medicine is a complement and extension to traditional pathology based medicine. Most people under the age of fifty often do not yet have evidence of organ damage or tissue change. Yet many people in their thirties and forties have a host of symptoms from which they suffer and from which orthodox techniques including drugs and surgery offer no relief. For this large group of patients, functional medicine in many cases offers answers to these problems.

Functional medicine uses many natural modalities of therapy including diet and nutritional supplements, phytotherapy, homeopathy, acupuncture and its related modalities, as well as chiropractic and massage. These modalities gently direct the body toward self-healing rather than forcing organs to do something they are not doing. They encourage the body to move in the direction of self-re balancing and in this state the body can heal itself.

Functional medicine uses various tools to evaluate relative organ function and then supports and strengthens organs with evidence of deficient function. These tools again are complements and really an extension to the disease model diagnostic systems of blood tests, scans and X-rays. These latter modalities of diagnosis are good at detecting organ damage or anatomical change whereas tests in functional medicine are good at detecting changes in organ function that are considered "sub-clinical". The two modalities complement each other and not at all mutually exclusive.

The following is a quote from Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., which succinctly states the goals of functional medicine:

"Functional medicine [is] a form of health care delivery that is focused on improving an individual's physiological, physical and mental performance. It's a health care delivery system that requires an optimistic outlook on health and aging, assuming that function and vitality can be improved and regression of disease can be accomplished by a personally tailored intervention program. Functional medicine recognizes the patient as unique, not average. It's built upon assessment of organ function, not diagnosis of pathology. It's based upon providing choices to individuals, not individual prescriptions. It emphasizes early-stage intervention, and it recognizes that genes, environment, diet, structure, activity, thoughts and beliefs weave themselves to become what we call the unique individual. And, of course, it focuses on improving health outcome of the patient's life, not just on treating a set of symptoms. That's what differentiates functional medicine from traditional pathologically-based medicine where differential diagnosis and treatment are the sine- qua-non's. In the case of functional medicine, outcome is really the measuring stick and it's best built upon recognizing patient uniqueness and organ system function."

*sine- qua-non's - something absolutely indispensable or essential
