What Is Functional Medicine?
You expect to get better soon after your visit to the doctor. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. The symptoms that initially disappeared may return not long after your consultation.
If you’re wondering why that happened, that’s probably because your doctor focused on your symptoms instead of your actual illness. Because your doctor’s attention was misplaced, your illness may last longer than expected.
Functional medicine aims to fill in the gaps in that flawed approach.
For those unfamiliar with the term, functional medicine is all about identifying and treating the root cause of your disease. Practitioners of functional medicine go through a long and exhaustive process to ensure that they can accurately diagnose your condition.
The process in question involves the practitioner conducting a lengthy interview. They will ask numerous questions about your current condition and your medical history. In all likelihood, they will ask you to expand on any topic they believe could be relevant to your disease. Don’t forget to discuss your lifestyle, exercise, and eating habits because they could also shed more light on your condition.
Chiropractors who utilize the functional medicine approach will also evaluate all their patients' symptoms. They place great importance on your symptoms because they reveal critical details about your other health problems.
Gathering all that information about your current condition is a must because they couldn’t treat you effectively otherwise. They rely on that information to craft a customized treatment plan that is optimized for you.

How Does Chiropractic Care Involve Functional Medicine?
Although the concept of functional medicine is still relatively new to members of the general public, chiropractors have been using a variation of that approach for a long time.
When you consult a chiropractor for treatment, they always strive to understand the underlying cause of your health issue. They don’t think the job is done because your symptoms have disappeared. They want to address the cause of your health problem so they can offer treatment that provides lasting relief.
Chiropractors also utilize a personalized approach to treating their patients. They will put together a treatment plan that makes the most sense for your condition. They will choose specific chiropractic techniques and treatment methods that work best for you.
