About Integrative Medicine
Bridging the best of both worlds—for your whole health.
At Hygeia Integrative Medicine, we take an approach that blends the wisdom of nature with the rigor of modern science—because your health deserves both.
Integrative medicine means just that: integration. We combine evidence-based natural therapies with conventional medical treatments to create a personalized, well-rounded plan for your care. This approach respects the complexity of the human body and meets you where you are—whether you're working to reverse a chronic condition, manage symptoms, or optimize your health.
Importantly, integrative medicine is also collaborative. We work alongside primary care physicians, specialists, mental health providers, and other members of your care team to ensure that your treatment is coordinated, whole-person, and aligned with your goals.
🌱 Grounded in the Therapeutic Order
Our care is guided by the Therapeutic Order, a foundational philosophy in naturopathic medicine. It’s a framework that prioritizes supporting the body’s natural healing processes first—while reserving more intensive interventions for when they’re truly necessary.
Here’s how the Therapeutic Order works in practice:
Establish the Foundations for Health
Nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, environment, and meaningful connection are the pillars of true wellness. We begin here.Stimulate the Self-Healing Mechanisms
We gently support the body’s innate intelligence through therapies that restore balance and vitality.Strengthen Weakened Systems
When specific systems need support—such as digestion, hormones, or immune function—we provide targeted, natural care.Correct Structural Integrity
Physical structure influences function. We may recommend therapies that restore musculoskeletal alignment or movement patterns.Use Natural Symptom Relief
When symptoms need managing, we start with the least invasive, most natural options available.Use Pharmacologic Symptom Control
When necessary, conventional medications are integrated into your plan thoughtfully, with care and clinical reasoning.High-Force Interventions
Surgery and other intensive medical procedures have their rightful place—and when they’re needed, we ensure they’re part of a comprehensive, supported care plan that includes recovery and long-term health strategies.
This stepwise order is not rigid—it’s adapted to your individual needs. It ensures that each layer of care is appropriate, respectful, and supportive of your overall wellbeing.
🤝 Whole-Person, Team-Based Care
Integrative medicine isn’t about choosing one system over another—it’s about choosing what works for you. That’s why we:
Collaborate with your primary care physician and medical specialists
Refer when your care is outside our scope or needs additional expertise
Consider your emotional, physical, and lifestyle factors as equally important
Educate and empower you to become an active partner in your own health
Whether you're looking for a more holistic approach to managing chronic illness, or you're simply seeking a proactive path to lifelong wellness, integrative medicine meets you with flexibility, compassion, and a full spectrum of tools.
