Integrative Pediatrics
We take an individualized and integrative health approach for the whole family, including pediatrics.
We understand that each child is an individual with unique healthcare needs, and our integrative and holistic approach to pediatric care combines the best of conventional medicine with evidenced-based alternative medicine.
Preventive measures are the foundation of our pediatric care and we focus on the most natural and sustainable lifestyle methods so that children can grow and develop naturally into healthy adults. Read our Preventive 10 to see the foundation of our approach with both children and adults.
Our Integrative and Holistic Pediatric Approach
- Disease Prevention: This is the foundation of our approach. Since children haven’t had as much exposure to the world as adults, their bodies are very receptive to preventive approaches that are guided by practical, reasonable, and natural lifestyle approaches.
- Integrative Medical Approach: We take an integrative medical approach with children in that we use the best of both conventional medicine and alternative medicine. Our goal is always to use the most effective but least aggressive and invasive modalities when possible.
- Individualized Care: We personalize care for each child’s needs, ensuring optimal and sustainable long-term health.
- Nutritional Guidance: We take a whole-food approach to nutrition, food-sensitivity testing, and support for dietary issues such as allergies or food intolerances. We believe that many of the ailments that affect our children are lifestyle-induced, such as poor food choices, and we seek to address these issues.
- Emotional and Behavioral Support: We incorporate integrative methods like mindfulness and meditation and other modalities such as counseling, when necessary. Our goal is to develop healthy, strong children at every stage of development.
- Environmental Health Assessment: We address potential hazards like allergens, environmental toxins, and recommend suitable preventive measures.
- Acute and Chronic Illness Management: We utilize a blend of traditional and alternative holistic treatments to ensure the most effective and natural recovery from acute illness. We focus on natural, non-invasive therapies and natural treatments whenever possible, thus reducing the dependency on medications, such as unnecessary antibiotics, or unnecessary referrals.
- Collaborative Approach: We work closely with a network of like-minded integrative holistic healthcare providers, ensuring a comprehensive circle of care for your child.
- Empowering Parents and Children: Having a collaborative, team approach with parents and children is very important for prevention and total wellness. Our goal is to work together with parents and their children so that ultimately each child is empowered to take control of their own health as they grow into adulthood.
Your child’s health and well-being are our utmost priority. Let’s work together to provide them with a strong foundation for a healthy, vibrant future.
