Too often, people visit the doctor only when they feel sick. They are looking for a doctor who will relieve their symptoms. No wonder they feel tension whenever they schedule an appointment: this mindset negatively associates the visiting the doctor with poor health!
This symptoms-based mindset to health can often miss hidden whole-body ailments that are preventing complete health. And general practitioners, who are responding to their patient’s requests, tend to focus more on the cause of the symptoms, and often do not take the entire body into account.
You are a person, not a sickness! This is the mindset we have at Narberth Family Medicine.
You want a doctor who knows you and is willing to take longer than a 5-minute appointment to learn about you. You also want a doctor who knows how your posture, diet, mental state, and environment can all have an impact on your entire body – and knows how to treat it with traditional and natural medicine. For these reasons, more and more people are turning to Dr. Lipton and Narberth Family Medicine for holistic medical care.
Holistic medicine is a branch of the medical field that is concerned about healing the whole person. Rather than focusing only on treating ailments, a holistic doctor looks at the physical, emotional, relational, physiological, and environmental conditions that affect a person. The doctor will then recommend the necessary treatments to promote health and healing.
At Narberth Family Medicine, we have a host of natural and alternative treatments available to help you manage pain and improve your health.
Holistic treatments we specialize in include:
Osteopathic manipulation
Prolozone joint injections
Acupuncture
Enzyme therapy
PAP-IMI therapy
Ayurveda
…and much more.
Along with treating illnesses, these treatments can also heal chronic pain and discomfort, boost energy and mood, and increase a person’s overall wellness.
Visiting a holistic medical practice does not mean you abandon modern medicine! Rather, a holistic doctor has more treatment options at their disposal than a traditional doctor. Having received extensive training in conventional and natural treatments, a holistic doctor can prescribe the best treatment plan possible to help you increase your health. If necessary, a holistic doctor can make referrals to specialists for more targeted care.
