Integrative Medicine - what is it all about?

Is a form of Medicine offered by medical doctors who care a lot about establishing a healthy patient/ practitioner partnership, who offer a wide range of investigation to identify the root causes of illness, considering all aspects of wellness. Integrative family medicine is about combining conventional approaches with alternative evidence-based treatments.

She aims to offer natural less invasive interventions that are based on good science and to critically evaluate the results of each treatment plan. Parents and children of all ages are welcomed to attend this clinic.

During an Integrative Medicine consultation, Dr Boecklin will take the time and consideration to really understand the personal context in which your illness exists. This is achieved through in-depth and detailed discussions about your nutrition, sleep patterns, digestion patterns, stress level, social support systems, hobbies, and any medications you are taking.

She will also review all your medical records and conduct a full physical exam that may incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis approaches, such as tongue and pulse exams.
