Troubled by long-term symptoms.
Health issues identified by routine check-ups.
Uncontrolled chronic disease.
Feeling unwell, but examination results are normal.
Nowadays, medicine is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms and diseases. Although medicine is excellent in curing infectious diseases; most of the time, medicine only provide temporary relief of ailments, or control of diseases, rather than addressing the root causes of the illness.
Illness usually arises from a complex interplay of various factors, rather than a single cause. Functional medicine goes beyond symptom control; aiming to uncover the factors behind your illness.
During functional medicine consultations, physicians delve into medical history, medication use, health status, and lifestyle habits to evaluate the possible cause of the disease. Subsequently, with tailored lab test and individualized treatment plan to facilitate the restoration of health.
Feeling unwell, visited hospitals, but examination results are all normal. What’s going on?
If the malaise we experience hasn’t progressed to the point of being classified as a “disease,” it’s not uncommon for hospital diagnoses or tests to yield normal results.
Functional medicine is not for diagnosing diseases, but rather to evaluate the underlying causes of certain symptoms, identifying areas of imbalance within the body, including the unbalanced nutrition, accumulation of toxins, metabolic dysfunction, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, or other potential factors.
Functional Medicine provides tailored lab tests and therapies to address long-term symptoms, mitigate chronic illness, and reduce the risk of future ailments.
After clinical treatment, we compile the following common needs and issues through our experience, expertise, and interaction.
Q1:Can health checkups make you healthier?
A：Getting health checkups will make you healthier? or are you just waiting for diseases to occur? Several years of health exam results showed normal; until one year, a disease was detected, then treatment started. While health checkups are important for early detection of diseases, they won’t necessarily make us healthier. Typically, after a health checkup, if everything appears fine, we often feel relieved and carry on with our lives. Otherwise, if there are worrisome findings, we might adopt healthier lifestyle for a while.
Q2:Who might benefit from functional medicine consultations?
A：People who are troubled with long-term symptoms, such as indigestion and bloating, prone to catch cold, malaise, headache, acid reflux, allergies, auto-immune disorders, or red-flags in health checkups.
Additionally, various other conditions may prompt seeking functional medicine consultation, such as persistent symptoms that aren’t resolved through conventional examinations and treatments, or a desire to maintain good health and reduce the risk of diseases.
