Integrative medicine primary care

An integrative medicine primary care practitioner uses both conventional and integrative medicine approaches. Integrative medicine doctors, nurse practitioners or physician assistants provide evidence-based primary care that also focuses on nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Your integrative medicine team has advanced training in integrative and holistic practices. They organize your care and work with you to improve your overall well-being. You can also make appointments with a massage therapist or acupuncturist.

What to expect from integrative medicine primary care

When you see your practitioner for the first time, they’ll do a complete physical and ask about your medical history as well as any special areas of concern. They’ll consider any current supplements and medicines you’re taking and will talk with you about your sleep, diet and exercise. Your provider will also ask about anything that causes stress in your life and how you’re handling it. They’ll get to know you before they make recommendations for your care.
