America has become the world leader in chronic disease. How can this happen in a country blessed with the most sophisticated health care system on the planet? One reason might be the use of drugs to treat chronic disease - the predominant choice for most medical doctors in the U.S. today. Disease is not a drug deficiency and medications many times bring more health problems! Merely masking the symptoms by using a drug is just not enough. So, the health problems just continue as the costs goes up. Drugs are not the best answer; so what is? Maybe there's a better, more efficient way to wellness.
Functional Medicine is the new health care model currently attracting more patients and doctors. It focuses on testing and measuring the health of your organs and cells and recommending natural substances to help rebuild your body. No drugs. Bloomington Chiropractic Center is one of the first health care facilities in Indiana to integrate functional medicine services into its health care program for overcoming chronic disease and achieving optimum wellness. Thousands of patients have been tested and treated at this clinic utilizing these natural health concepts. The results have been astounding.
Functional medicine was founded on the premise that your body is a self-healing, self regulating organism. You were born to be healthy. If you are not experiencing vibrant health & wellness, something is impeding
or unbalancing your inborn healing capacity. Symptoms appear and are often regarded as the evil enemy.
Functional medicine is patient-centered, science-based health care that identifies and corrects biochemical and physiological imbalances that can lead to illness. This is accomplished by measuring your body composition, cellular toxicity, and various chemical constituents in the blood, urine, and saliva. Functional medical treatment addresses those imbalances by removing toxins and allergens, improving diet & exercise, and utilizing therapeutic grade micro nutrients and botanicals. By pinpointing the cause of your symptoms and determining your current level of health, this clinics' Doctors can help you heal faster, perform better, and achieve your optimum health and wellness.
Chronic disease is caused by a multiplicity of factors interacting between your genetics and lifestyle. Your genes are inherited and you have no choice in that matter. But these genes can be turned on or off by patterns in your lifestyle. Functional medicine can identify those patterns that can contribute to these common diseases and disorders:
The Functional Medical Assessment (FMA) is the investigational toolkit used at the Bloomington Chiropractic Center. This includes a thorough review of your personal and family medical history, a standard physical examination, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire, and the appropriate laboratory tests to determine your body chemistry and cellular function:
Bioimpedance analysis is a computerized method of measuring altered body composition. It is extremely accurate and reproducible. Your body is comprised of lean body mass (muscles/organs) acting as a bank for your nutrients. Your fat mass is your reservoir of stored fuel and toxins. And the total water inside and outside your cells is your transport and detoxification mechanism. If these water containing compartments are altered in any way, chronic disease and poor fitness can be right around the corner. This simple 5-minute non-invasive test measures the body's resistance to imperceptible electrical currents traveling in a circuit through your body. BIA can reveal the following measurements in percentage and weight:
The following BIA measurements are calculations that also help you and your Doctor monitor acute/chronic illness, potential health risks, dietary status, and overall fitness:
The BIA can also be repeated to scientifically chart improvements over time. This is especially helpful in readjusting the treatment plan and establishing what works best for the patient. Competitive athletes are especially amazed how this information can help them improve their performance.
All the testing information will be compiled and discussed with you. Specific recommendations will be offered to directly address any abnormal findings. This may include therapeutic grade nutritional, herbal, and botanical products designed to support various systems of the body. Metagenics and Standard Process are two of the more common brands prescribed by the doctors at Bloomington Chiropractic Center. These products are backed by exhaustive research, are guaranteed potency, and are professionally dispensed by the majority of nutrition experts in the world today. Additional recommendations may include changes in dietary habits, exercise, and lifestyle habits. The entire treatment plan will be individualized for your specific needs and your desired level of health.
Instead of being prescribed symptom-masking medications with potential harmful side-effects, you will be educated, encouraged, and facilitated to resolve the potential cause of your problem and speed your recovery. Wellness care or illness care? . . . What will you choose?
