Functional Medicine
Putting The Individual First
At Health Touch Chiropractic, we embrace the patient-centered approach of functional medicine, a concept that has brought significant benefits to our patients. Unlike traditional care that primarily targets symptoms, functional medicine goes beyond. It integrates cutting-edge diagnostic tests with a high-touch, patient-focused strategy. This enables us to proactively customize care to your unique needs, making you feel truly valued and understood.
The recommendation of your care is not only on a comprehensive musculature neurological exam but also an examination of physiological imbalances and environmental factors, as well as lab testing for a comprehensive snapshot of your overall health.
State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Tests
At Health Touch Chiropractic, we’re committed to providing the highest quality of care. That’s why we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to gain a deeper understanding of your health. By combining these tools with our chiropractic expertise, we can identify underlying imbalances and dysfunctions that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Evidence-Based Holistic Care
We invite you to explore our functional medicine program, which embraces a holistic approach to healthcare. Our program considers the overall functioning of your body, recognizing that a disturbance in one area can impact your overall health. Through comprehensive lab tests, physical exams, and screenings, we gather the necessary evidence to develop a personalized action plan to address your health concerns.
Our holistic care features two key components: chiropractic adjustments and nutrition counseling. Chiropractic care is foundational because the body relies on nerve signals transmitted through the spine. Adjustments address spinal issues directly and can resolve related disturbances throughout the body. For instance, back pain might signal problems that, while seemingly localized, have broader implications. Our expert chiropractors in Tigard are skilled at diagnosing and treating these conditions, alleviating pain, and addressing the root causes simultaneously.
Nutrition counseling is integral to our approach as well. Standard dietary guidelines often fail to reflect the latest nutritional science and do not account for individual needs. Our tailored nutrition plans leverage the latest research, focusing on specific combinations of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients that enhance organ function and reduce illness risks. Alongside nutrition, we consider other environmental factors such as air quality and exercise habits, ensuring our treatment plans address all aspects of lifestyle and biomechanical imbalances contributing to your health challenges.
