Functional Medicine
Dr. Justin Marchegiani, D.C. is a licensed Texas chiropractor (License No. 12479) providing natural wellness services.
Dr. Justin practices a natural wellness focused model of care, sometimes referred to as “Functional” or “Systems” wellness. This is not conventional or allopathic medicine. It is a holistic approach in which underlying physical, chemical and emotional stressors are supported to help the body reduce inflammation so it can begin to heal itself.
This model does not involve treating medical diseases or prescribing medications. Dr. Justin does not prescribe drugs. Instead, he utilizes homeopathic and botanical medicines, including vitamin supplements, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, nutraceuticals and glandular extracts, along with diet modification, weight control, patient education and advice and counsel, to address the root causes of poor health and support each patient’s overall wellness.
Investigative: It supports the underlying cause of the problem rather than chasing symptoms, which leads to more profound and longer lasting results.
Holistic: It sees the body as an interconnected whole and recognizes the importance of these connections in health and wellness.
Safe: Programs built on diet, lifestyle and nutritional support carry very few side effects and other unrelated complaints often improve spontaneously as inflammation improves.
Patient centered: We support the patient, not a disease. Programs are highly individualized based on each patient’s needs.
Participatory: The patient is respected, empowered, educated and encouraged to play an active role in the healing process.
Integrative: It combines the best of natural and holistic healthcare and emphasizes the foundational role of diet and lifestyle.
Restorative: The goal is optimal function and lasting wellness.
Preventative: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Our goal is to support underlying stressors before issues ever occur.
Evidence based: Recommendations draw on current research from peer reviewed journals.
Natural Support: Dr. Justin helps naturally support the body in many areas of concern, including thyroid function, female hormone balance and digestive health, through diet, lifestyle modification, supplementation and nutritional support. Dr. Justin does not diagnose or treat any medical disease. He supports physical, chemical and emotional stressors with the goal of promoting wellness. If you are seeking diagnosis or treatment of a medical disease, please consult your medical doctor. Where a concern arises that requires medical care, Dr. Justin will refer you to an appropriate healthcare provider.
