Wellness Medicine? What is that?

Wellness Medicine is the change in focus from symptom management to body function optimization. Healthcare has changed over the years, and it seems, there is more emphasis on symptom management rather than on wellness. This is why now, more people are turning towards alternative medicine, or holistic medicine for answers.

This approach to medicine is not new, it really shouldn't even be considered alternative medicine. Wellness medicine is, simply, treating the body as a whole. Pills and medications are not a cure, in most cases, and only serve to hide the symptoms. This does not mean you should stop taking your prescription medications, but it should be a warning sign that something is wrong and needs attention. Do not ignore your body's signals that something is wrong.

of course, you wouldn't treat your car this way! why should your approach to your body's function, be less than that which you give your car? Health, nutrition and wellness should be a focus when handling daily life, nutrition, vitamin choices, and fitness planning.

Keeping your body in balance is our ultimate goal. To ensure optimal performance we use a variety of technique, such as acupuncture(only available locally), health food, vitamins, urinalysis and bio terrain testing, herbal therapy, and other natural health remedies.

Wellness medicine is used to maintain good health and keep the body working at its best. Everybody knows that smoking won't kill you, well not immediately anyway. Having one or two cigarettes won't kill you, because the body will repair the damage. When you do more damage than the body can repair, eventually, it will manifest in illness. Should you wait until there is illness before you take action? of course not. The same is true of maintaining wellness.

You need to monitor your body, and its function and adjust accordingly. This will ensure optimal performance. They say your house, is the biggest investment you will make, but it is your health that is your most important investment.

My preferred method to diagnose body function, is to do a urinalysis. This simple test can be done from distance and will reveal a lot of information about your body's systems and its functions. It may even uncover dysfunction with in the body before there is illness. To have your personal metabolic test run, go to our eclinic.
