How Does My Pediatric Functional Medicine Approach Work?
I have a holistic approach to helping resolve health issues in toddlers, children or teens.
I look at seven main factors when looking to resolve the health issues of your toddlers, children or teens:
- Structural problems, including joint and spinal misalignment.
- Nutritional Deficiencies.
- Current chronic stressors include work and home life.
- Past emotional traumas.
- Past physical traumas.
- Gut health
My Functional Medicine approach is a partnership in healing and is equally about me guiding you toward recovery and treatment.
What occurs during an initial appointment?
The purpose of the initial appointment is primarily to collect information.
This process will include a complete medical history and a physical exam, including Applied Kinesiology or muscle response testing.
After the collection process, Dominick will tell you:
- If my Pediatric Functional Medicine approach is suitable and safe for treating your problem.
If I can help you, I will then tell you:
- What is the nature of your symptoms?
- What are the possible causes?
- What further testing is necessary?
Treatment will probably be limited to general diet and lifestyle advice at this stage.
Finally, let's look at how long appointments are.
How long are the appointments?
Initial appointments are 60 minutes, and follow-up appointments are 30-45 minutes long.
