Question 1

What is Functional Medicine?

Accepted Answer

Functional Medicine differs from conventional medicine in its methods to determine how and why illness occurs and how it restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.
​
Instead of the typical conventional medicine way of naming diseases and prescribing a pill for each disease, Dr. Orsburn takes a functional view of the body as one integrated system and treats the entire person.  
​
Each person is different, therefore each treatment plan is personalized and targeted to specific concerns and what works best for each situation.
​
To learn more about the functional medicine approach, visit The Institute for Functional Medicine website or call Dr. Orsburn to set up a consultation.
