Dr. Squire is a Palm Beach Gardens holistic therapy specialist and has been established in the area for
over 30 years. Dr. Squire is an experienced chiropractor and provides adjunctive nutritional therapy as
part of his integrative treatment modalities. There may be several specialists in the area, however Dr. Squire
is an exhaustive diagnostician and utilizes state of the art lab tests such as saliva and hair analysis to reveal
the root of the pathology. Presenting symptoms are often indicative of complex interrelated disease states that
require holistic care. However, when a person is experiencing symptoms a common tendency is to visit their local
doctor who may have a symptom based-approach to medicine. For example, unlike holistic doctors, Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) often
prescribe prescription medications to address the bothersome symptoms, but fail to address the root of the problem. So
what is the big deal about treating only the symptoms? Let us take a look at a hypothetical patient suffering from
acid reflux. The PCP may prescribe an anti-acid that works to reduce the discomfort caused by acid erosion.
However, further inspection by a functional medicine specialist revealed that the patient was suffering from an
ulcer caused by H. Pylori. Therefore in accordance with holistic medicine, this patient's treatment plan would
include dietary changes in adjunct to probiotic therapy to restore bacterial balance of the gut and intestines.
Dr. Squire's Palm Beach Gardens holistic therapy will utilize functional medicine to correct the imbalances of the
mind and body. Functional medicine is individualized care that focuses on prevention and treating the underlying causes
of the presenting symptomatology. Functional medicine is an evidenced-based field based on several ideologies. First,
people are assessed and treated as unique due to differences in their genetics and their surrounding environment. Thus,
these disparities cause individual variations in metabolic function (e.g., hyperthyroidism), immune function (e.g., allergies), and
digestive functioning (e.g., constipation). The second principle of functional holistic medicine states that medicine should be
patient-centered and therefore people are treated rather than their disease states. Research supports that better treatment
outcomes are fostered when the patient is treated with care and respect. Thirdly, Dr. Squire will take into account both
internal (e.g., metabolic imbalance) and external factors (e.g., smoking and drinking alcohol) when designing and implementing
an integrative treatment plan. Finally, functional medicine understands the body as an interconnected system that must be
treated holistically. For example, autoimmune diseases can indirectly cause cardiovascular problems and a poor diet can
cause hormonal imbalances. Therefore according to the presenting symptomatology this Palm Beach Gardens holistic therapy
cautiously examines the patient's whole body function.
