Holistic Care

What is holistic care?

Holistic care is an approach to healthcare that considers the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — rather than just focusing on symptoms or diseases. It integrates conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies like nutrition, mindfulness, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes. 

At Prime MD Plus, Dr. Javvaji addresses the root cause of your health concerns while supporting your emotional, mental, and physical health.

How is holistic care different from other types of care?

Unlike traditional healthcare, which often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific conditions, holistic care looks at the bigger picture. It doesn’t just address symptoms; it considers all aspects of your life, including your diet, stress, emotional well-being, and environment, to help create a more balanced and effective approach to your overall health.

It can also incorporate alternative therapies alongside conventional medicine and encourage your active participation in your healing process.

What health issues can holistic care address?

Holistic care can help with a wide range of health concerns, including:

• Chronic pain: integrates physical therapy, acupuncture, and stress reduction techniques
• Mental health disorders: helps manage anxiety, depression, and stress through therapy, meditation, and lifestyle changes
• Digestive issues: helps manage nutrition, gut health, and stress management (to treat conditions like irritable bowel syndrome)
• Autoimmune diseases: implements dietary adjustments, exercise, and mind-body techniques to reduce inflammation
• Sleep disorders: enhances rest with strategies like herbal remedies, relaxation techniques, and sleep hygiene improvements

In addition, rather than waiting for illness to develop, holistic care emphasizes prevention with proactive health practices through balanced nutrition, movement, and mindfulness.

What are the benefits of holistic care?

Holistic care offers many benefits. It encourages long-term wellness by addressing the underlying causes of health issues rather than just masking symptoms. It also reduces stress and improves mental well-being by incorporating relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices. 

Many patients find holistic care empowering, as it emphasizes active participation in their own health. Holistic care can also complement conventional treatments, enhancing their effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
