Symphony Healthcare's Model of Practice
Holistic medicine and Western medicine are two different approaches to healing that have gained popularity in recent years. Holistic medicine focuses on treating the whole person, including their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Western medicine, on the other hand, is a more traditional approach that focuses on treating the symptoms of disease with medications and surgeries.
While these two approaches may seem like they are at odds with each other, we embrace the model that combines both holistic and Western medicine. This approach is known as integrative medicine, and it aims to provide patients with a more comprehensive and effective form of treatment.
One of the key benefits of pairing Holistic and Western medicine is that it allows patients to receive the best of both worlds. Holistic medicine begins by gathering a comprehensive medical history and listening to the patient’s story. The Holistic approach seeks the root cause of a patient’s symptom or illness – taking into consideration that the body is very complex and many times we will need to address multiple areas to find the underlying imbalances – not just one body organ. We begin with a timeline to help us identify outside influences along with known illnesses and event.
On the other hand, Western medicine focuses on treating a disease & can provide patients with more traditional treatments such as antibiotics, surgeries, and chemotherapy that can help to treat specific diseases. This approach is vital when confronted with an accident, a need for surgery or traditional medications, or events such as heart attack or stroke. Medical interventions are needed & may be life-saving. By combining these two approaches, we can provide patients with a more comprehensive form of treatment that can help to promote healing and prevent future illness. This can lead to better long-term health outcomes for patients and reduce the need for costly and invasive medical interventions.
In addition, pairing Holistic and Western medicine can help to improve patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment plans. By providing patients with a model that combines both Holistic and Western medicine, we can help to meet the growing demand for alternative therapies while still providing patients with the best of modern medicine.
