Functional Medicine Uses Integrative Approach
by Katrina Pfannkuch
Tried the traditional route of medical care and now looking for a more holistic approach? How about more one-on-one time with your doctor? Consider functional medicine, a wellness practice that focuses on understanding the unique ways the human internal systems work together in complete synergy. Because each person’s life and experiences are different, functional medicine takes into account the environmental inputs, physiological processes and core clinical imbalances of each individual person. These key elements determine the current state of health, and it’s important to examine how they all impact each other.

Fort Collins functional medicine doctor, Jac Daccardi, D.C. who concentrates on chiropractic, acupuncture and applied kinesiology, uses these modalities (in addition to a variety of other diagnostic techniques) to get to the source of each patient’s dis-ease and to determine what is really causing internal systems to be out of balance. His approach, he believes, empowers patients by helping them regain strength, energy and momentum.
