What is an integrative pediatrician?
What is the difference between conventional medicine and integrative medicine?
Conventional medicine, also known as traditional medicine, Western medicine and even insurance medicine, is the medical approach embraced by mainstream healthcare and medical practitioners. It effectively addresses serious and urgent medical conditions such as physical trauma, broken bones and heart attacks. These conditions are typically treated using a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model, such as with patented pharmaceutical drugs or surgery. This is essential for emergency room visits. However, if symptoms are not easily defined or diagnosed, or if doctors are not able to provide answers or a resolution for a specific medical concern, conventional medicine often falls short.
Integrative medicine takes a different approach: it prioritizes a close patient-practitioner relationship, focuses on prevention and aims to treat injuries and illnesses in the least invasive and most productive way possible. To encourage the body’s natural healing response, it utilizes both conventional and alternative methods of treatment. In addition to this, it largely focuses on identifying the root cause of physical symptoms, which are the body’s external warning signs that something is awry internally. To optimize health and prevent disease, physicians are able to treat the person as a whole—mind, body, and spirit— by taking all factors that influence health and wellness into consideration. During an initial consultation, the physician will develop a plan of action based on all of the aspects of a patient’s history, physiology, environment, and current lifestyle.
What conditions can be treated using an integrative approach?
An integrative medical approach can be used to treat a wide number of conditions, both acute and chronic, such as:
- Anxiety
- Chronic pain
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Headache/migraine
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Irritable bowel syndrome
What’s the benefit of seeing an integrative pediatrician?
Integrative pediatricians provide a long list of amazing benefits, because:
- They treat the person as a whole
- They identify the root cause of the condition
- They save money on long-term health expenses
- They listen and want to learn about each patient’s lifestyle, needs, and beliefs
- They provide options beyond pills to manage illness
