Functional Medicine can be defined as the in depth understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body while applying it clinically to the individual.

It is designed to uncover and attempt to expose the actual cause of a specific health condition by utilizing conventional testing methods such as physical examination, laboratory testing of blood, urine and saliva, diagnostic testing such as ECG, x-ray, ultrasound, and MRI as needed in the evaluation and diagnosis of disease. It involves more than the prescribing of medication and supplements to only alleviate symptoms. Finding the potential cause of the problem and attempting to balance the imbalances are the goal of this discipline. It incorporates a much more comprehensive approach to health care as it investigates and targets the health of an individual by using several different conventional testing methods.
