Functional Medicine at Sky Health: A Personalized Approach to Lasting Wellness
At Sky Health Las Vegas, we embrace a holistic approach to healthcare through Functional Medicine, aiming to identify and address the root causes of health issues rather than merely alleviating symptoms. This patient-centered methodology allows us to develop personalized treatment plans that promote optimal health and well-being.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a medical discipline that focuses on understanding the underlying causes of disease by considering the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors. Unlike conventional medicine, which often targets specific symptoms, Functional Medicine practitioners seek to treat the whole person, emphasizing the interconnectedness of bodily systems. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of how various factors contribute to health conditions, enabling more effective and individualized care.
Benefits of Functional Medicine
Personalized Treatment Plans: Each patient receives a customized care plan tailored to their unique health needs, preferences, and genetic makeup, ensuring more effective and targeted interventions.
Improved Health Outcomes: Research indicates that Functional Medicine can lead to significant health improvements. A study by the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Functional Medicine found that approximately 31% of patients improved their PROMIS global physical health scores by 5 points or more, compared to 22% in primary care settings.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients often experience better overall well-being, including improvements in physical and mental health. For instance, patients with inflammatory arthritis reported significant enhancements in pain management and physical function after integrating Functional Medicine into their treatment.
Cost-Effective Care: Implementing Functional Medicine models, such as Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), has been associated with improved health-related quality of life and reduced healthcare delivery costs compared to individual appointments.
