Integrative Medicine

What is Integrative Medicine?

Premier Integrative Medicine in Pennsylvania, offered by Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, is a holistic healing-oriented discipline that accounts for the whole person and makes use of all appropriate science-backed therapies (conventional and alternative alike) to facilitate the body's innate healing response.

What does Integrative Medicine treatment look like?

Treatments often include a focus on nutrition and activity habits, mind-body modalities such as yoga, behavioral therapy, and/or community support. Prescriptive medication and supplementation may be used where appropriate.

Rather than focusing entirely on disease, Integrative Medicine incorporates several evidence-based disciplines, including integrative and functional medicine, to encourage healing and optimize wellness. Interventions that are natural and least invasive are used whenever possible.

Who can benefit from integrative medicine?

Patients who are interested in taking a holistic approach to symptoms to improve functioning and quality of life, or those that are interested in gaining a better understanding of the interconnectedness of the many factors that influence overall health.

Patients that have specific health circumstances and want to learn more about disease prevention and health promotion.
