Functional Medicine; A New Aproach to Deal With Chronic Health Problems
Functional Medicine is a new branch of modern medicine that studies the origins of chronic diseases. The first evaluation starts with a detailed story taking up to an hour by Dr Ulku Sarpkaya. Advanced biochemistry, microbiology and genetic tests are used in addition to standard tests. The necessary supplementary support is provided by evaluating the body hormone balance, metabolism, toxin load at the tissue level and vitamin-mineral deficiencies at the intracellular level. Elimination diet program is applied with our functional medicine dietician when necessary.
Immune system imbalances and the presence of continuous low level inflammation causes chronic problems. Functional medicine modalities can be used in diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of Digestive Absorption Disorders, GIS Microbiota Problems, Chronic Metabolic-Rheumatologic-Autoimmune-Neurological diseases. We get very promising results especially in patients with Migraine and Fibromyalgia.
