Integrative Children’s Care
According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 25% of children below the age of 18 suffer from chronic illnesses, including asthma, food allergies, epilepsy, diabetes and hypertension. Chronic health conditions in children can continue throughout adulthood if not properly addressed.
Unfortunately, when no one understands what to do, our kids can end up unnecessarily medicated, isolated from peers, and/or held back in school before they have a chance to get the right kind of help.
We know that your priority is ensuring that your child is happy and healthy, and decreasing the risk of chronic diseases and protecting their health into adulthood is important.
Integrative children’s medicine involves taking a holistic look at the child’s environment, genetics, diet and allergies. Integrative medicine includes both conventional medical therapies and testing along with holistic approaches to develop therapies to heal the mind, body, and soul.
Whether your child is healthy and you’re looking for ways to help them reach their full potential, or your child is sick and you’re trying to find the cause of their illness and how to resolve their health concerns, our compassionate and professional team is here to help. We believe that understanding the unique needs of our patients ensures effective treatment and is our best hope for helping you raise healthy children.
At Longevity Wellness Clinic, we believe in treating the whole child to empower your family to live healthier lives, naturally.
Holistic Pediatrics in Bradenton, Florida
As the 21st century dawned, parents began to realize that conventional medicine did not address all of the health needs of their children. Rather than conventional medicine’s disease centered focus, parents began to realize that a patient centered focus was best for their children. Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of chronic illness and disease, rather than just treating the symptoms.
If your child has a health problem that isn’t resolving in a timely manner or responding well to Western medical treatments, chances are oriental medicine can help using modalities like acupuncture, herbal therapy, cupping, and laser therapy. At our clinic, we believe that every child is unique and deserves an equally unique approach to treatment. We focus on understanding your child’s health condition and creating an individual healing program that addresses your child’s symptoms along with the underlying root cause.
