Integrative Medicine Q&A

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies. It focuses on treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and addresses the root causes of illness rather than just managing symptoms. The goal is to optimize health and facilitate healing by using all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.

How is Integrative Medicine different from conventional medicine?

While conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or symptoms, integrative medicine takes a broader view. It considers all aspects of your lifestyle, environment, and genetics to understand why you’re experiencing health issues. It then integrates various therapies, both conventional and complementary, to create a personalized treatment plan aimed at restoring balance and promoting long-term wellness.

Who can benefit from Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine can benefit a wide range of individuals. It’s particularly helpful for those dealing with chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or chronic pain. It’s also ideal for individuals seeking preventive care, wanting to optimize their overall health, or looking for a more personalized and holistic approach to their well-being.

What can I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit at Organic Well will involve a thorough and in-depth consultation with Dr. Elizabeth Isalguez. She will take the time to listen to your health story, understand your concerns, and explore your medical history, lifestyle, and goals.

Is Integrative Medicine covered by insurance?

Coverage for integrative medicine services can vary depending on your insurance provider and specific plan. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to inquire about coverage for consultations, diagnostic tests, and specific therapies. Organic Well is committed to transparency regarding fees and will discuss payment options with you during your initial consultation.
