What is Integrated Medicine?

Integrated medicine is that branch of medicine which deals in the prescription of both conventional medication (prescription of drugs, radiation, surgical intervention) as well as alternative therapies such as Intravenous Chelation Therapy, Far Infrared Detox, External Counterpulsation (ECP), Anti-aging, etc.).

The success of integrated medicine is dependent, for the most part, on the treating physician. The treating physician has to do an overall inquiry into the patient’s lifestyle viz his/her eating habits, smoking/drinking habits, family medical history, environmental conditions, his job description, frequency of eating outside food and water, etc. which has its effect on the patient’s health.

Integrated medicine is about the treating physician delving deeper into the patient’s personal life in connection to the medical condition at hand and prescribing a mix of both conventional and alternative therapies. the doctor should monitor the patient’s progress from time to time so that the course of the treatment will be changed if necessary.

We, at Dr Saxena Clinic Integrated Medical Center of Hyderabad, design a personalized treatment plan by adopting one or more methods of treatment available across various medical disciplines to treat a patient’s health condition and to help regain complete health.

Difference between Integrated medicine and conventional medicine:

2. Both conventional and alternative methods are used Appropriately to stimulate the flow of Qi or Chi (body’s internal flow of energy) for the treatment of a condition.

Health as is being neglected and short term remedies are being resorted to get up and run again catching up with the world. Now, would the short term remedy put a check on the underlying cause of the condition? There is a high chance of the issue recur at a later stage and with a vengeance.

We, at Dr. Saxena’s Clinic, are specialized in the art of Integrated Medicine. We call it an art as it is not an easy task to choose a combination of treatment options from a wide array of alternative treatment options. To zero in on an approach needs in-depth analysis of a patient’s lifestyle, familial history of medical illnesses, habits, environment, etc. This requires the physician to step into the shoes of the patient. Again, it is needless to stress that this kind of approach is patient-centric, differs from patient to patient.

Our approach to a medical condition is unconventional but effective. We request you to get in touch with us by booking an appointment with Dr. Saxena for a thorough understanding of integrated medicine and how we use it at large to treat our patients.

Why to Choose Integrated Medicine at Dr. Saxena’s Clinic:

If you ever had a chance to interact with your grandparents, they would have talked about homemade remedies made from greenies available in the garden/market or Ayurveda. They surely didn’t know what today’s conventional medicine was and even if they knew, they were apprehensive about trying it because the naturally available remedies were working best for them. Today’s famous conventional mode of treatment was in its nascent stage; then, the same is true about Integrated Medicine.

We, at Dr. Saxena’s Clinic, have always given priority for treatment options under Integrated Medicine, knowing the vigour and vitality it can bring about in the treatment of various ailments by resorting to a personalized approach.

Conclusion:
To sum it up, the conventional mode of treatment in the form of drug pills, surgical intervention, etc. was followed since decades and was directed towards masses. A doctor prescribes a pill with a mixture of chemical compounds to tackle fever to whomsoever comes to his/her consultation complaining fever. Why can’t there be treatment based on an individual basis considering all the factors casting influence on that individual? Sounds interesting, right?
