Chapel Hill Doctors Trained in Functional Medicine
The Chapel Hill Chiropractic Centre is proud to offer the Chapel Hill community a functional medicine approach to health. Functional medicine is a method of treating the body as a whole, rather than the sum of its parts. Doctors trained in Holistic health realize the importance of a "total-body approach" to health that goes beyond the Western medicine approach, which typically focuses on individual organ systems of the body without much respect to the entire function of the body.
Doctors who focus on functional medicine may or may not use pharmaceutical drugs in their approach to patient health. At Chapel Hill Chiropractic Centre, our doctors utilize diet, clinical nutrition, and lifestyle modification to achieve optimum health, without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
Our methods of detection are the cornerstone of our success....Applied Kinesiology and other methods of evaluation give our doctors a strong advantage in early detection and prevention of health problems, rather than allowing them to progress to a life-threatening problem or illness. Applied Kinesiology incorporates techniques used in many alternative medicine fields including, osteopathy, acupuncture, physical therapy, massage therapy, homeopathy, and also medicine.
A person trained in Applied Kinesiology must be a licensed doctor. Applied Kinesiology (or "AK"), is a method of muscle testing used to evaluate nervous system interference caused by chemical, physical, or even emotional imbalances in the body. AK is not meant to replace "standard methods" of diagnosing problems, yet it adds greatly to a practitioner's ability to discover hidden dysfunction in the body. When it comes to detection, Eastern and Western medicine methods of diagnosis are extremely powerful together, yet many Functional Medicine doctors prefer to use Eastern methods of treatment.
This combination of "Eastern/Western diagnosis" with "Eastern treatment" bridges a large gap between the two world of treatment styles, which is why Applied Kinesiology doctors are on the cutting edge of treatment and prevention...not the cutting edge of a surgeon's knife.
