As a family physician, Dr. JaVar Myatt-Jones employs a
comprehensive approach to patient care, examining, diagnosing and treating the
patient as a whole while providing the expert counsel and advice so crucial to
health and wellness. Part of Dr. Jones’ approach are elements of integrative
medicine, a philosophy that takes a broader, more holistic look at the causes,
prevention of disease and the promotion of good health and wellness.
So, what are the advantages of integrative medicine to the
patient?
--It addresses the root causes of the illness, rather than just
the symptoms. With integrative medicine, the physician examines all factors or
elements which may have played a role in the development of the illness,
providing the patient the opportunity to eliminate the cause at the source.
--It requires a partnership between physician and patient. In
the field of integrative medicine, the patient is a more active participant in
their own health, working with the doctor to develop solutions that benefit
their health in the long-term.
