Integrative Health Consultations

Treating a chronic condition sometimes requires more than conventional medicine alone. Integrative therapies, such as massage, mindfulness, yoga and acupuncture can help stimulate healing, reduce pain and improve function.

Integrative Health Consultations are an opportunity for the patient and the practitioner to explore the patient’s medical or health goals and assess which modalities will help support them on that journey. Common areas of focus include providing information about complementary therapies, improving quality of life while living with chronic pain, and working with those who want to improve their health by making lifestyle changes.

During a one-on-one Integrative Health Consultation, you'll collaborate with a physician or nurse practitioner specially trained in integrative health. Together you'll:

  • Collaborate to understand your health history, current challenges, and overall goals.
  • Craft a personalized plan that integrates both conventional medicine and evidence-based complementary therapies (like acupuncture, yoga, and mindfulness) to optimize your well-being.
  • Explore the mind-body connection and address the root causes of your health concerns, not just the symptoms.
