The physicians and providers at VMNY are using decades of clinical practice experience to integrate principles of traditional and integrative / functional medicine, a whole-body approach to provide higher levels of wellness, vitality and promote genuine healing from the inside. Functional medicine is a science-based whole systems approach, focusing on the fundamental underlying causes of the patient’s clinical symptoms. Root causes of disease are identified by analyzing how different influences (genetics, nutrition, toxins, psycho-spiritual issues, etc.) can affect a person’s whole mind and body health, rather than just classifying, diagnosing, and treating diseases in a fragmented manner like in conventional medicine. The focus is, therefore, on understanding and managing each individual’s body systems, which interact with each other rather than treat symptoms. Our management options, therefore, address “WHY” does one have a condition, not just “WHAT” we can do about it, like the pill for every symptom approach we see in conventional medicine.

This approach has expanded options to treat any disease and is an important preventive and complementary adjunct to mainstream care, enhancing well-being.
