Optimum Health Offers Functional Medicine:

Medical Staff
The medical staff at Optimum Health specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders as they relate to physical imbalances and pain related to physical medicine as well as functional medicine. Our doctors and nurse practitioners seek to find the source of your pain or physical problems rather than covering the symptoms.

Physical Medicine
Our medical doctors may prescribe X-Rays, MRI’s, NCV (nerve conduction velocity) testing, or Diagnostic Ultrasound to diagnose the patient’s condition. Once diagnosed, a patient may receive homeopathic and/or allopathic treatments to alleviate the symptoms associated with disease or disorders and to restore the body to optimal health.

Alternatives to invasive surgeries and pharmacological injections are also provided. Those options include natural bio-pharmaceutical injections for pain associated with muscles spasms, inflammation of the joints, and headaches. Conditions such as, osteo-arthritis of the knee, are also treated more safely and effectively than other conventional methods. The medical doctor may prescribe chiropractic care and/or physical therapy and massage as an adjunct to the patient’s treatment plan.

Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is personalized medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. It is a science-based field of health care. Functional medicine is anchored by an examination of the core clinical imbalances that underlie various chronic diseases and conditions. Our medical staff may use Food Sensitivity Testing, Adrenal Stress Index Panel, Metabolic Testing, Gastro-Intestinal Profiles, Hormone Tests, and more to discover any underlying causes. These tests are designed to evaluate the following:

• Structural imbalances from cellular membrane function to the musculoskeletal system
• Digestive, absorptive, and microbiological imbalances
• Inflammatory imbalances
• Detoxification and biotransformational imbalances
• Immune imbalances
• Hormonal imbalances
