The Place of Functional Medicine Approach in the Medical Community in the World and in Our Country

The functional medicine approach, which has been a trending practice in the early 2000s all over the world, especially in America, has also been on the agenda in our country in recent years.

What Is The Difference Between Functional Medicine Approach Treatment Methods and Mainstream Medicine Treatment Methods?

Standard medicine is a system established on diagnosing the disease with the necessary laboratory and imaging tests and starting drug treatment appropriate for this diagnosis.

Functional medicine, on the other hand; focuses on finding the source of the underlying functional disorder rather than the diagnosis of the disease or the organ it affects, and reveals the root cause of the disease. It implements treatments and lifestyle changes that will eliminate this cause with the patient's personal participation in the process. Thus, it makes a difference in the treatment of chronic diseases.

Does The Treatment Applied With The Functional Medicine Approach Reject the Requirements of Mainstream Standard Medicine?

In the functional medicine approach, plans are definitely made by communicating with the relevant branch doctors. Functional Medicine; It is an approach that adds strength to the treatment process without interfering with the treatment of the physician who follows the patient and without rejecting the requirements of mainstream medical treatment.
