Frequently Asked Questions About Integrative Medicine
What Is Integrative Medicine, and How Does It Differ From Traditional Medicine?
Also called functional, complementary, or alternative medicine, integrative medicine works with–not against–the care plan outlined by your primary care physician. While integrative wellness solutions don’t replace traditional medications and therapies, they dovetail with them to achieve total wellness and optimal bodily function.
Disease prevention, rather than disease treatment, is the focus of an integrative medicine practitioner, as is a client-centered approach to wellness. Integrative medicine looks to the client, not past them, to employ effective health therapies that really work.
Will My Health Concerns Respond to Integrative Medicine Solutions?
You will receive a detailed and informative consultation with your integrative medicine provider. Dr. Oseni studies client histories carefully and listens to their concerns with great interest. Because your care plan will be individualized to your needs, you can expect an appreciable increase in your overall wellness and function.
What Kinds of Medical Conditions Respond to Integrative Wellness Solutions?
Dr. Catherine Oseni sees clients who have wide-ranging health concerns. Some of them are:
- Migraine headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetes
- Metabolic disorders
- Weight control
- Allergies and food sensitivities
- Arthritis
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Aging and bone health
- Sleep disorders
- Brain function
Because integrative medicine approaches you as a whole person–body, mind, and spirit–therapies target what life stresses contribute to your health issues. It examines what nutrition, exercise, and a positive attitude can do to improve them.
What Role Does Nutrition Play in Integrative Medicine?
It plays a very important role. Dr. Oseni teaches her clients the basics of healthy eating and recommends supplements and vitamins to help the body efficiently function. Called nutraceuticals, our supplements are purified and of medical-grade quality.
How Important is Patient Education?
It’s very important. For instance, if you feel uninformed about diabetes and healthy eating, you’ll receive the information you need to make the right food choices and how to balance your diet with your diabetes medications, stress, and activity level. Educated clients are much more likely to improve their physical health, mental health, and overall well-being.
How Often Will I Visit Alpha Care Wellness Solutions?
This depends on the care plan you and Dr. Oseni agree on. Many clients have an initial visit, followed by monthly or semi-annual visits that taper off to a yearly wellness check eventually.
Are Virtual Visits an Option for Me?
Yes! Alpha Wellness Center offers online, virtual visits. Discuss your care plan, test results, health concerns, and more from the privacy of your own home, using your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other digital devices.
