What is Integrative Care?
INTEGRATIVE CARE EXPLAINED: 5 KEY PRINCIPLES
Integrative Health Care, also known as Integrative Medicine, is an inclusive approach to health that combines various modalities, treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes the unique and complex interplay of factors influencing each individual’s health.
Key Principles of Integrative Health Care:
Whole-Person Approach: Acknowledges the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of health, understanding their interconnectedness.
Prevention and Wellness: Prioritizes preventive measures and lifestyle changes to enhance overall health and long-term wellness.
Compassionate + Client-Centered: At the heart of our care lies a foundation of trust and partnership. Our providers prioritize building strong relationships with clients through attentive listening, providing ample time during visits, and a deep respect for each client's unique needs and perspectives. This nurturing environment empowers individuals to take an active role in their health journey, ensuring that they feel heard, valued, and fully involved in their healthcare decisions.
Collaborative Care: Encourages interdisciplinary collaboration across various healthcare practitioners, such as medical doctors, mental health professionals, chiropractors, lifestyle coaches, nutritionists, and more to provide comprehensive care.
Customized Personal Treatment Plans: Tailors treatment to individual health concerns, preferences, and goals.
Integrative Health Care is dynamic and innovative. It’s a continually evolving field with varying practices. While some methods people choose to integrate into their overall care are well-established, others may still be emerging in their scientific evidence. Importantly, this model empowers clients with a wider variety of healthcare choices, encouraging them to actively participate in selecting treatments that align with their personal health needs and preferences. Clients should engage openly with their healthcare providers to make informed decisions based on their individual needs and circumstances.
Integrative Health Care goes well beyond treating illnesses; it’s about nurturing overall wellness to help you discover your healthiest life. It’s a personalized and client-first approach that puts you at the center of your care.
