INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Integrative medicine involves using the best possible
treatments from both conventional medicine and alternative
medicine. We focus on the least invasive and the least
toxic method to facilitate health, by integrating appropriate
traditional and complementary therapies. Particular
therapies are recommended based on an understanding
of the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual
aspects of the individual.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine focuses on restoring balance to
the dysfunctional systems by strengthening (repairing,
rebuilding, restoring) the fundamental physiological
processes that underlie them, and by adjusting the environmental
inputs that nurture and impair them. This approach leads
to therapies designed to restore health and function,
rather than simply controlling signs and symptoms.
OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE
Osteopathic manipulative treatment uses very gentle
pressures and positionings to encourage the tissues
to gently relax and unwind, releasing the shock of imprinted
traumas. Patients often experience a sense of deep relaxation,
tingling, fluid flows and relief of pain. Emotional
releases may occur as well. These changes may be experienced
immediately as they occur or later after the treatment.
Some patients will only notice that their previous level
of pain has diminished some hours or days following
treatment.
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE
An energetic form of therapy used to treat disease.
Minute quantities of a particular formulation are prescribed
each with a unique energetic frequency. The intent is
to choose a particular formulation that will resonate
with the frequency of the particular aberrant metabolic
process being treated. In Dr. Mulcahy’s practice, specific
homeopathic remedies are chosen to facilitate the process
of biotherapeutic drainage and detoxification.
BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT
The use of hormones with the same physiologic function
and biologic structure as the body’s own hormones when
it was producing them itself. In addition to the female
and male hormones Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone,
it is frequently necessary to balance other hormonal
systems and specific neurotransmitters. These include
the Thyroid and Adrenal glands as well as the neurotransmitters,
Serotonin, GABA, Norepinephrine, and Dopamine.
