If you feel that medicine has many facets and no one should be beholden to only one way of looking at the human body, this is a sign that it’s time to learn about holistic health and wellness. The healthcare methods employed by our practitioners of osteopathic medicine at Swetech Medical Center in Clinton Township, MI, may align with your own beliefs about health.
Treat Health Concerns from the Inside
When patients experience discomfort, they want the fastest and most effective solution for the problem. This kind of care is necessary – but it’s also important to look beyond symptoms alone. Identifying the source of a medical condition or complaint is an essential part of fully addressing health problems so they can be reduced or prevented from occurring again.
There is more to health and wellness than the absence of pain or disease. Doctors of osteopathy focus on prevention as well as healing by learning about a patient and their unique circumstances, including lifestyle, nutrition, occupation, environment, household, and other specific circumstances. All of these elements influence how a person acts and feels and how their health and wellness presents itself.
Prioritize Food and
Sometimes, the very factors that can help us feel like better versions of ourselves are the things we withhold from our minds and bodies. How your body feels and functions is a direct result of what you put into it and how you treat it.
- Nutrition choices should be sustainable and work well with your lifestyle, budget, and preferences, whether you’re trying to lose weight, improve energy, minimize side effects of a chronic condition, or prevent health problems.
- Holistic health and wellness make room for a person’s unique state of being so that fuel is effective and supportive while still being wholly enjoyable.
- Sleep is often an element of wellness that gets pushed to the side but without enough rest the body can suffer from mental health problems, weight gain, irritability, cardiovascular complications, and more.
- Holistic health focuses on what in your life can be tweaked so quality sleep is not lost and so it isn’t necessary to rely on sleep aids.
Allow Yourself to Enjoy
Holistic health and wellness is not complex, but it does require a belief in common sense choices such as:
- Seeing your doctor annually for a checkup.
- Getting enough rest
- Moving your body
- Taking care of both physical and mental wellness
Self-care efforts require time and devotion to allow yourself to feel good. Our doctors of osteopathy are invested in your self-care and your overall well-being. Preventive medicine is what we practice to prevent, minimize, or even stop disease and discomfort for our patients. We promote natural healing.
Familiarize Yourself with Gut
Many people don’t know that gut health is the crux of many levels of unwellness. When there is an imbalance in the gastrointestinal system, chronic illnesses could result, from digestive discomfort to body aches and pains.
- The digestive system plays a major role in immunity.
- A compromised gut makes a person more likely to be unwell.
- Inexplicable health conditions often have a logical source – the gut.
- What happens in your powerful, large gut affects the rest of the body.
Our doctors identify whether the pain or poor health you’re feeling is a result of your gut health. Treating a problem at its source – no matter how unlikely that source may seem to be – can be the difference between feeling great and chronic discomfort.
Align With a Doctor of Osteopathic
If you suffer from a chronic condition that you feel might benefit from a more natural kind of treatment, or you want to really have a conversation with your doctor about health and wellness and feel heard, schedule an appointment with a doctor of osteopathic medicine at Swetech Medical Center. We look forward to getting to know you.
