Comprehensive Plan

Welcome to Integrative Medicine of Northern Virginia, providing quality holistic health care.

Your patient experience begins with the development of a comprehensive plan. We will perform a full health assessment, including:

• Review of your medical history, recent physician diagnoses, lab tests, and current medications.
• Physical exam, including weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, breathing, palpation of chest, abdomen, and joints, and skin check.
• Review and discussion of your current concerns, symptoms, and previous attempts at resolution
• Evaluation of nutritional status from the perspective of current diet, gastrointestinal symptoms, weight, blood sugar balance, allergies, and vitamin, mineral, and electrolyte deficiencies
• Review of current exercise and activity levels
• Evaluation of immune function from the perspective of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections
• Assessment of hormonal signs and symptoms, such as fatigue, insomnia, weight change, thyroid issues, menstrual irregularities, and menopause
• Discussion of mental health status, including anxiety, depression, ability to focus, insomnia, unresolved trauma and abuse, and current stressors
• Exploration of addictions (drugs, alcohol, food, Internet, gambling, sex, etc.)
• Review of current and past exposure to environmental toxins and hazards

Based on the results of your initial comprehensive health assessment, I will develop a plan designed to resolve your concerns and provide you with information to assist in achieving your health and wellness goals. Depending on your condition,we may include the ordering of additional lab tests, acupuncture, and herbal and nutritional remedies.
