Your health is your most precious asset, and we work hard to help our patients in regain and maintain their health through functional medicine.
While traditional medicine focuses on treating the symptoms of chronic conditions, functional medicine means taking a bigger-picture approach. It involves looking at the patient’s life in its entirety in order to figure out what factors are negatively impacting them the most, thereby deciding how to deal with them in an effort to obtain better health. It may be genes and hormones causing their issues, their behaviors and lifestyle choices, or even their environment. Sometimes, it is a combination of all three.
Put simply, functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to treatment, rather than being disease or condition-centered. Essentially, it requires creating a treatment plan designed to attack health issues at the source(s) specific to the individual, which offers the best chance of creating a permanent health solution.
Duquette Functional Medicine and Preventative Health has worked with many patients over the years. Functional medicine can help with conditions that are chronic in nature, which means that they are generally issues that are long-term and likely impact almost every aspect of a person’s life.
