Functional Medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on treating your body as the unique, individual person that you are.  Your state of health is a combination of your genetics and all the inputs your body has experienced over your life--from the food you eat to the medicines you have taken, to the natural environment where you live.

Functional medicine considers alternative treatments before medications or invasive procedures.  By understanding the root cause of your ailment, functional medicine practitioners fix the root cause of the problem, rather than mask the symptoms with prescriptions.

Functional medicine is the future of healthcare as we transition to a society focused on getting well and staying well.  While traditional medicine is irreplaceable for many acute conditions and sicknesses, functional medicine provides the foundation of preventative healthcare. If you are tired of the same old medical treatments of pain pills and injections, functional medicine may just be the precise treatment that you need.

During your initial appointment, you will spend 45 minutes with the doctor undergoing an in-depth interview so that we can begin to determine the root cause of your condition.

Your Total Health Transformation Program may be partially covered under your health insurance plan, depending on the unique program that is customized to your needs.  Remember, no two programs look the same, and health insurance providers are very specific about what they will and will not cover.

The good news is that most health insurance providers will, at a minimum, cover the cost of lab tests that our doctors will use to perform the functional blood chemistry analysis and build your custom health and wellness plan.

Please check with your local Institute for Functional Health clinic to inquire about the acceptance of your specific health insurance & financing options.

The Institute for Functional Health was designed to function as your first stop for non-emergency healthcare services. While we certainly offer Primary Care for annual exams, sick visits, labs and prescription re-fills - our long-term plan for you is that we help to identify the root cause of your symptoms.

Our Functional Health approach to your symptoms is how we've helped thousands of patients across San Antonio (and across the U.S. via telemedicine) to stop masking symptoms with medicine and supported the body's ability to naturally heal itself. If you are new to Functional Medicine, we strongly advise you to explore our website and see the amazing transformations for yourself. It is amazing what is possible when we take a step back and stop medicating our body in the same way year after year . . . decade after decade.

Patients suffering physical pain may find that Chiropractic Care is the only intervention that is needed. Even our chiropractic care is unlike others, however, as we dig deeper to understand the root cause of the pain. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries or automobile injuries . . . before jumping into an endless cycle of pain management therapy, give yourself the best chance of a natural, healthy recovery through chiropractic care.

We also utilize many other therapies and services in conjunction with the above models of care.

Explore our website for more information - or schedule your Discovery Day with our clinicians so our team can identify the root cause of your health issues...and we work with you to gameplan the most efficient and safe path to naturally restoring your health and vitality.

Is your primary care physician only treating your symptoms with more medicine with each visit?

Has your primary care appointment become nothing more than an exercise in prescription refills?
