Main Line Health Integrative and Functional Medicine Services

MLH INTEGRATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SERVICES is the employed integrative specialty and functional medicine physician network. MLH INTEGRATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SERVICES offers personalized medicine for the 21st century. The goal of integrative and functional medicine is to get to the root cause of health problems and treat the whole person with a combination of approaches. Our integrative medicine service strives to consider the whole body. When evaluating a new patient, our physicians will incorporate the best interventions of conventional medicine, complementary medicine and alternative therapies, and provide patients with knowledge of when to pursue such modalities as western herbalism/supplements, acupuncture, yoga, tai chi, meditation, chiropractic manipulation or massage. Physicians also focus on the nutritional and exercise habits of the patient to curb factors related to obesity and diabetes. The physicians consider poor lifestyle choices as major contributing factors to the root cause of many modern chronic diseases. Our functional medicine service focuses on key things: finding the underlying cause of a patient's health problems, using a laboratory based analysis system to determine what is wrong, using supplements to correct problems-with medications as needed, and focusing in depth on lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, sleep and meditation.
