If your health goals are not limited to managing a set of symptoms, perhaps even masking them, then functional medicine may be the best choice for you. Typically recommended for chronic conditions and other forms of illness, the aim of functional medicine is to provide a holistic approach to treatment that is personalized to your individual needs. You can learn more about the benefits of functional medicine below and by reaching out to Dr. Melissa Bachman and Dr. Chad Bachman and acupuncturist Dr. Chad Bachman of the Reno Health Institute in Reno, NV.

How It Works

With the traditional approach to medicine symptoms and other issues are dealt with as they arise. While it is important to deal with these, much more so if these interfere with your everyday activities, it's important to look deeper.

You are not just a collection of your symptoms, they can help diagnose certain problems but they do not tell your whole story.

So instead of treating your individual parts and symptoms, the functional medicine approach is to understand that your body is a fully interconnected system where all of these parts depend on one another and symptoms don't arise on their own.
