What Is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is a form of healthcare that combines conventional Western medicine with alternative and complementary practices. This approach takes into account the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and aims to address the root cause of illness rather than just treating the symptoms. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in integrative medicine as people become more aware of the limitations of pharmaceutical based medicine. While pharmaceutical medicine is highly effective in treating acute conditions and emergencies, it often falls short when it comes to chronic and complex health issues. This is where integrative medicine can play a crucial role.

What Does Integrative Medicine Involve?
Integrative medicine embraces a wide range of healing practices, including herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, cupping, meditation, and massage therapy, among others. These complementary therapies have been used for centuries in various cultures and have proven to be effective in promoting overall wellness and preventing illness. An important aspect of integrative medicine is the focus on patient-centered care. This means that instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, which is what we are accustomed to experiencing, the treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and preferences. This approach empowers patients to take an active role in their own health and well-being, which can lead to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
How Does Integrative Medicine Work?
Integrative medicine takes a holistic view of health, recognizing that a person’s environment and lifestyle can greatly influence their health. This means that in addition to treating the symptoms, the root cause of the illness is addressed. For example, if someone is suffering from chronic headaches, an integrative approach would not only prescribe medication to manage the pain but also look at other factors such as diet, sleep habits, and stress levels that may be contributing to the headaches. In addition, another form of treatment to reduce or even resolve the headaches would be to do cupping in specific locations that address the causes of the headaches. Furthermore, integrative medicine encourages collaboration and communication between healthcare providers from different disciplines. This allows for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to patient care, with each practitioner bringing their unique expertise to the table.

Dr. Qari doesn’t just get you in and get you out. He spends time with you to talk about your health, he speaks on future health and how to do better. Glad we switched

Best care I have ever been in. I love the fact that the doctor was thorough and explained everything to me so that I truly understood. Recommending this doctor’s office to everyone I know.

Best investment for your body and soul. Dr. Qadri not only focus on you while you are there but follows up to make sure you are following the regime of a healthier diet and lifestyle according to your needs. The assesement is more of a holistic approach and cupping is nothing but a miracle treatment itself along with his personal care and dua for shifa. I hope more people can benefit.
