Functional medicine uses a patient-centered approach to focus primarily on identifying the cause of illness, not just treating the symptoms of illness. It uses the cause, identified through comprehensive medical history and laboratory work, of the illness so that the appropriate prevention and treatment methods can be developed and implemented. This is the philosophy we take here at Park Forest Chiropractic. The philosophy of Functional medicine recognizes that each patient is different and through the relationship built between the patient and doctor, along with detoxification, lifestyle changes and education, you will be able to aid the body in healing itself. The functional medicine approach is an entirely different perspective than traditional allopathic medicine, which relies on synthetic drugs to only address the symptoms of illness.

Our chiropractors focus on you as a whole by spending time with patients, collecting extensive health histories and performing the appropriate diagnostic testing needed to get to the underlying cause of the complication. Each individual is unique and functional medicine allows our chiropractors to help patients gain great health and vitality.
