Conventional Medicine Causes Additional Complications for Parkinson’s Disease Patients
Conventional Medicine Causes Additional Complications for Parkinson’s Disease Patients
According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, more than 90,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease each year.
Unfortunately, most of these patients will experience a standard of care that focuses only on relieving symptoms and neglects the underlying cause of disease. The conventional standard for Parkinson’s Disease treatment involves medications like levodopa, which seek only to delay the onset of serious problems. Not only is this strategy unsustainable, but these medications are known to cause a range of additional long-term complications, including dyskinesias and toxicity, within just 5 years of use.
Luckily, there ARE other options.

The 3 Pillars of Functional Medicine for Long-Haul COVID
Deep Diagnostic
Testing
We go beyond the status quo to get a full and clear picture of your health and address any pre-existing conditions.
Finding the
Root Cause
By looking at environmental, lifestyle, and diagnostic factors we work to find the root cause.
Personalized
Treatment
Every person is different, and that is why our treatments and therapies are specific to your needs and diagnosis.
You Deserve to Utilize EVERY Available Tool for Your Healing
Common knowledge tells us to approach even minor health complications, like colds and flus, on multiple fronts: get lots of rest (support your immune system), drink lots of fluids (detox), eat some soup and take some vitamin C (ensure proper nutrition).
In these cases, it’s second nature for us to do everything in our power to restore health — so why should we settle for pigeon-holed treatment when health complications are even more serious? You deserve comprehensive, sustainable healing. Our functional medicine approach has helped countless patients from all walks of life find just that.
