Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a personalized medical model that empowers patients to achieve their maximum expression of health. In addition to chiropractic and nutritional services, Dr. Ley also provides functional medicine at her Achieve Wellness office located in Cockeysville MD.
Understanding Functional Medicine
Like Chiropractic, Functional Medicine addresses the underlying cause of disease and other conditions, rather than simply masking symptoms, but provides solutions that may include supplements or chiropractic. The key is instead of focusing on disease, functional medicine is patient-centered, addressing the whole body rather than treating symptoms piecemeal.
Dr. Ley practices functional medicine by focusing on the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. She spends time with each patient, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health.
