3 Reasons Why You Should Have a Health Partner Over a Health Provider

When we become sick, our first instinct is often to go to the doctor. While a traditional medical doctor solves a variety of health concerns, a traditional doctor is a health care provider—not a health care partner. At Knox Wellness, we offer integrative, functional, naturopathic medicine and partner with our patients in their wellness journey. We investigate the root cause of medical issues and work with our patients to provide a deeper understanding of their overall health. This holistic approach to health care has transformed the industry—and our patients’ lives. Here’s how.

  1. A Deeper Understanding

Licensed doctors have run the health scene since the beginning of modern medicine. A common misunderstanding is that traditional medical doctors are the only source of medical assistance and practice. In reality, that is not the case. Osteopaths and osteopathic medicine have revolutionized the modern understanding of medicine and medical practices. While both medical and osteopathic doctors receive the same length of education, they specialize in their own unique practices.

Whereas medical doctors, or health providers, spend a majority of their time exploring the realm of surgery and radiation, osteopaths, or health partners, emphasize helping each person achieve a high level of wellness by focusing on health promotion and disease prevention. They explore the more in-depth side of physiology, anatomy, and a majority of the body’s systems. Additionally, these health partners devote a large amount of their time to investigating the entirety of modern medicine, bringing a patient-centered, holistic, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating illness and injury.

Reasons to visit a health partner vary from case to case. Most people visit a partner versus a provider to gain a deeper understanding of their health problem(s) and how to solve them in a holistic manner. Seeing a health partner is favorable with the following health concerns and conditions:

  • Pain relief: This includes arthritis, indigestion, or even back pain.
  • Mental health: Includes anxiety, stress, fatigue, depression, insomnia, and others.
  • Diagnosed medical conditions: This ranges from allergies to obesity, to asthma and cancer/heart disease.
  • Women’s health: Such as PMS, infections, infertility, and menopause.
  1. Getting to the Root of the Problem

Because osteopathic doctors specialize in a holistic approach to medicine, fixing the root cause of a health problem or condition is the core of their education and practice. When you experience symptoms that you want to alleviate through natural approaches and want to solve the origin of the problem you should see an osteopath.

A great example of solving the root of a health concern via osteopathic medicine is the insight these health partners have on the body’s systems, such as the gastrointestinal system. Even though this system is culpable for the health and operation of the digestive system, recent studies have shown the correlation between this system’s functionality and its effect on mental health. Your digestive system and gut health are a root cause for many medical concerns and problems. The health partners at Knox Wellness aid you in providing advanced testing and consultation to gain a deeper understanding on how your gut health is performing and how it functions to create greater balance within your body.

If you have been experiencing health concerns from IBS to bloating and constipation, changing your diet and health practices are better solutions than taking medication. A majority of digestion–related problems respond well to dietary and lifestyle changes over the implementation of medicine. These health partners dig deeper into the root of the problem and assimilate their expertise to get you back to feeling your best. These health partners engage in various types of testing that conventional, medical doctors don’t.

Generally, traditional medical providers are knowledgeable in the realm of symptom relief rather than how to fix the root cause of the disease. Osteopaths have the knowledge and expertise of how the human body functions. They help each patient achieve superior wellness by focusing on health promotion and disease prevention.

  1. More Proactive Care

Just because you don’t possess a major or concerning medical issue, it is still important to invest and take control of your own health. Receiving medical care prior to a problem emerging, or proactive care, is a prevention method that transforms your future health. You should visit a health partner when you are looking to prevent future health-related issues. Care for your future health by visiting the licensed health partners at Knox Wellness who will explore your current health in order to make a plan for your future. They run diagnostic tests, supply dietary and supplement recommendations, and engage in a deeper understanding of their patients. Their variety of services surrounds the idea of creating a better, healthy future for their patients with a holistic approach.

Start creating a better and healthier life for yourself by taking the necessary steps to improve your health. Knox Wellness administers exceptional insight into holistic health care and acts as true partners in their patient’s health journey.

Testimonials

This place was a major part in my Cancer being in remission. He helped me prepare my body for upcoming treatment. Dr Chris was a strong advocate in challenging me to push for proton therapy vs regular radiation. He made sure I had the best Doctors in my area. During my battle with cancer what they did helped me be the first person in my family Mom and Dad’s side that can say remission. 100% response to treatments. Thank you Dr Chris and team.

I have been coming to Knox Wellness for a year and a half. This place has been a Godsend! They’ve helped me get my chronic lyme disease to a manageable state as well as get all my vitamin levels to optimal. I went to a regular doctor for many years with no answers and in a short time Sunny and team have helped overcome so much! The entire staff is beyond friendly, they are more like family 🙂

I am writing this to express my utmost admiration and gratitude for the exceptional care and service provided by Knox Wellness. As a patient who has benefited greatly from the clinic’s expertise and holistic approach to healthcare, I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation and refer others to experience the remarkable care at Knox Wellness.
