Takeaways

The body is a complex system, and it is essential to look at it as a whole rather than focusing on isolated symptoms or injuries.

Functional medicine takes a systems approach to health, considering the interconnectedness of various body systems and addressing the root causes of symptoms.

Listening to patients' stories and gathering detailed information is crucial for understanding their health history and identifying potential underlying imbalances.

Modifiable lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, and relationships are significant in overall health and should be addressed alongside specific treatments.

Combining functional medicine and other modalities like shockwave therapy can provide comprehensive care and help patients achieve optimal health.
