What is Integrative Medicine?

Our approach is based on the following principles:

  1. PREVENTION. The main philosopy of integrative medicine are preventive steps to promote good health, prevent illness and help raise awareness of disease in our lives rather than merely managing symptoms. 
  2. NATURAL HEALING. Our body has the ability to heal itself. The purpose of treatment is to encourage the natural healing process
  3. HOLISTIC CARE. Holistic health care practitioners view people as the unity of body, mind, spirit and the systems in which they live.
  4. OPTIMAL HEALTH. The primary goal of holistic medical practice is the conscious pursuit of the highest level of functioning and balance of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of human experience, resulting in a dynamic state of being fully alive. This creates a condition of well-being regardless of the presence or absence of disease.
  5. EDUCATION. Integrative medicine practitioners see themselves as teachers and partners offering guidance and support to their patient’s journey towards their wellbeing. They are the primary educators in empowering their patients to pro-actively take charge of their health.
  6. INTEGRATION OF CONVENTIONAL AND COMPLIMENTARY MEDICINE. RHM wellness physicians practice integrative medicine by combining both conventional and complementary medicine. Patients evaluations are based on physical examinations, laboratory assessments, and a detailed medical and lifestyle history.

Serving as both your intensive primary care doctors and integrative medicine specialists, RHM wellness physicians focus on the individual needs of their patients by developing personalized holistic treatments that address the cause of symptoms and disease.
