Functional Medicine for Chiropractors
Why should you learn functional medicine?
Chiropractors deal with musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain and inflammation on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the typical chiropractic curriculum spends very little time talking about the immune system and the different types of inflammatory responses that someone might present with (Th1, Th2 or Th17).
Not all inflammation is the same.
Knowing which type of inflammation your patient has is fundamental to reversing their problem.
If you have some patients that aren’t responding well to treatment or they keep getting recurrent injuries, chances are they have chronic inflammation that requires more than just a musculoskeletal approach. This is where functional medicine comes in.
Upskill to solve your patient's problems
Let’s face it – chronic illness and autoimmune disease are trending. We’re spending more on health care every single year and yet we’re getting sicker. It’s time to jump ahead of the curve and learn the skills that you’ll need to be able to address what the majority of your patients will be coming in with.
There are MUCH better supplements that you can recommend based on your patient’s immune type (Th1, Th2, Th17) and their unique medical history. This approach is far better than the typical anti-inflammatory supplements such as of fish oil, magnesium or tumeric. These supplements will only provide transitory results if you’re not addressing what’s driving the inflammatory process.
