Healthcare is undergoing a transformation in the 21st<\/sup> century, and two of the most popular new terms are integrative medicine and functional medicine. What is integrative and functional medicine? And how are they different? Both are popular and effective philosophies of helping people achieve complete wellness. At in2GREAT Functional Medicine and Integrative Health of Kansas City, our physicians are proud to practice the most efficient and effective forms of integrative and functional medicine to help our community.<\/p>\n

What is Integrative Medicine?<\/h2>\n

Integrative medicine<\/a>\u00a0is a holistic medical discipline which takes into account the lifestyle habits of a patient. The integrative medicine practitioner focuses on modern healthcare modalities such as massage, yoga, acupuncture, dietary changes and other methods to treat the whole person. There is also a prevalent belief that lifestyle choices factor significantly into modern ailments and conditions.<\/p>\n

What is Functional Medicine?<\/h2>\n

Functional medicine<\/a>\u00a0often embraces much of this same philosophy, but also seeks a more personal approach to healthcare. The functional medicine experts at in2GREAT considers the issues on the surface (your symptoms) as indicators for what is happening\u00a0underneath\u00a0the surface. A patient\u2019s long-term health can only be achieved by addressing the root issue that produces their symptoms.<\/p>\n

Because each patient is unique, their treatment plan must be individualized and tailored to their specific needs. Integrative and functional medicine seeks to discover problems with underlying biochemistry that are contributing to a patient\u2019s health issues, in order to design the most effective personal treatment plan.<\/p>\n

If you are ready for a new approach to healthcare, one that may actually help you to live with long-term overall health, in2GREAT is a professional integrative and functional medicine clinic serving the people of Kansas City and Overland Park, as well as the surrounding communities.
