Everything You Need to Know About Functional Medicine Fort Worth
In addition to our various healing modalities and detoxification services, Restore + Revive is a functional primary care practice in Fort Worth. But what does that mean, exactly? And how does that differ from a conventional medical practice?
Today’s blog explains the difference between functional and conventional medicine. Plus, we’re overviewing our most popular functional medicine Fort Worth services. Stay tuned!
The Difference Between Functional Medicine and Conventional Medicine
Unsure how functional medicine differs from conventional? Let’s break it down:
Symptom Management vs. Root Cause. Conventional medicine strives to relieve symptoms with medications or surgery. However, functional medicine dives a bit deeper to uncover and treat symptoms’ underlying cause(s).
Patient-Doctor Relationship. Functional medicine doctors are known to collaborate and communicate more with their patients. Dr. Brighton Miller, for example, offers concierge medicine – where her patients have 24/7 access to her via cell phone.
Personalized Care. Functional medicine takes a personalized approach to healthcare while traditional medicine usually follows standardized treatment protocols.
Prevention is Key. While conventional medicine focuses on treating existing conditions, functional medicine emphasizes preventative care and lifestyle changes to enhance overall well-being.
Services for Functional Medicine Fort Worth
As we mentioned, functional medicine takes a whole-person approach to healthcare. That means we take your physical, mental, and emotional well-being into account.
Instead of slapping a bandaid on symptoms, our functional medicine Fort Worth practitioners strive to uncover the root cause(s) of your symptoms and craft a personalized treatment plan accordingly.
Primary Care
Like any primary care provider, our functional medicine providers see both adults and kids for well or sick visits. Well visits are synonymous with your annual check-up, and sick visits offer a more thorough screening when you or your child isn’t feeling well. We also conduct physicals for school-aged children who need one for sports, summer camps, or a new school year.
Note that you don’t have to be a member to choose us as your primary care provider.
Concierge Medicine
Dr. Brighton Miller is an IFM-Certified Family Practice Doctor who offers concierge medicine services to both adults and kids. Essentially, that means her patients have 24/7, all-inclusive access to her for a flat fee.
Lab Testing
Functional lab testing allows us to get a full picture of a patient’s health. As a component of preventative care, it helps us detect any changes, protect against chronic diseases and conditions, and create a personalized plan for health and healing.
Lactation and Newborn Services
Our functional medicine Fort Worth offerings include a variety of lactation and newborn services. These include a breastfeeding assessment to measure intake, as well as education regarding pumping, bottle feeding, and infant oral anatomy.
