There are many conditions that can be kept under control or even reversed with the help of functional medicine
About this event
Functional medicine, a wonderful evolution in holistic healthcare, shifts the traditional disease centered approach to a patient centered practice. It engages the patient and the functional medicine physician in a more therapeutic partnership. Both parties work together to determine the best treatment options to promote health and well-being of the patient.
A functional medicine practitioner uses unconventional testing to get to the root cause of a patient’s health issues. Then recommend scientifically proven herbal supplements during the treatment of a variety of ailments to help the body heal naturally. There are many conditions that can be kept under control or even reversed with the help of functional medicine, such as fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, chronic pain, hormone imbalance and diabetes. All these conditions have deep roots in the human body. Conventional medicine typically treats the signs and symptoms. With functional medicine, the underlying imbalance or dysfunction of the body is addressed, thus achieving long-term relief.
Nurse Practitioner Suzanne Tershak-Tither practices functional and integrative medicine at Rose Wellness Center in Oakton, VA. She specializes in women’s health programs, menopause and hormone balancing, and the treatment of chronic conditions such as hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and digestive disorders.
