Integrative medicine emphasizes the health and wellness of the individual using a holistic approach. We incorporate evidence based medicine to diagnose and treat symptoms, but look at you as a whole person. You are not just the physical body. You are far more complex, intricate, and bigger than that. You are not your diagnosis. You are so much more.
At Alcove Integrative Medicine, we explore the other aspects of who you are that have led to illness but also that which can build strength and foster vitality. This is something a symptom-based protocol alone cannot give you. Drawing healing from a holistic approach requires awareness of the whole of you: body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Holism looks at you as a system within and a part of an infinite number of systems. In fact, optimal health does not have to mean absence of disease. Optimal health and happiness comes from the integration of all aspects of you and your environment into a whole, ultimately with you recognizing how wonderful and important you are, living in a world that is beautiful as it is.
