FUNCTIONAL & INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE 

at Fawzia Sultan Healthcare Network (FSHN) Kuwait

Functional Medicine

  • Takes a whole-body approach to healing, it is a lot more specific in how it is practiced by focusing on identifying and treating the underlying cause of your health problem. 
  • Operates under the premise that chronic illness is an outcome of imbalances in the key underlying physiological systems in your body.
  • Functional medicine provides a method for re-balancing the body’s underlying physiological systems and addressing lifestyle issues that contribute to illness.
  • Offers a unique approach to understanding the terrain of chronic illness and provides a whole new way to address the epidemic of chronic disease we face in the 21st century.
  • Unlike some forms of integrative medicine, functional medicine always utilizes the most advanced diagnostic testing available to determine the best lifestyle changes, targeted food medicines, and herbal support for a person’s specific health case based on the latest research from peer-reviewed medical journals.

Integrative Medicine

  • Takes a whole-body approach to care to understand your health in its entirety.
  • Looks at a person’s mental, physical, and emotional health and all the areas that can influence these areas of a person’s health including stress, poor diet, and environmental triggers.
  • Utilizes conventional diagnostic and treatment methods including x-rays and medication alongside diet and exercise.
  • Integrates complementary (natural) therapies and conventional treatments together in a single treatment plan.
  • Some complementary therapies that we refer to:
    • Acupuncture
    • Chiropractic
