Functional Medicine

Alternative Medicine

The cause of most diseases begins long before the disease is diagnosed, and even before symptoms begin, but the deviation from functional standards can be detected and addressed.  Because Dr. Caroline looks for the underlying cause of disease and analyzes the body from both a pathological and functional perspective, she can see the beginning of disease processes before they have progressed to the point that they are diagnosed utilizing common medical evaluation and can address the root cause of the dysfunction as well as the symptoms.

While the treatment of internal health conditions sometimes includes gentle chiropractic adjustments, many of Dr. Caroline’s patients are already under chiropractic care with another physician and are simply looking for natural solutions to internal or systemic health complaints.  These may include diagnosed conditions, but also includes people who just aren’t feeling well but don’t yet have a diagnosable condition. 

Dr. Caroline believes it is important to do a comprehensive evaluation to not only address your symptoms but also to find and address the source of these symptoms.  While a lot of information can be obtained through evaluations performed in the office, laboratory testing is helpful in further clarifying the source of the issue and the most appropriate treatment.  A variety of laboratory tests are available at Whole Health & Wellness, including blood, stool, urine and DUTCH salivary hormone, food sensitivity, food and environmental allergy, and methyl genetic testing to help determine exactly what her patients need for healthy and happy outcomes.
