Integrative and Holistic Care for Crestview, FL
Whole-person, non-surgical, non-opioid care for Crestview patients, with medical, chiropractic, rehab, and massage staff working together.
Care That Fits Life in Crestview
Crestview grew to about 27,100 residents at the 2020 census, and many families here drive south on SR 85 for work, school, or the beach. Our integrative clinic in Fort Walton Beach is about 40 minutes away along that same route.
When you think about how many internal and external influences affect your health, it becomes clear why an approach that addresses all of them together makes sense. That is the goal of integrative medicine.
What Integrative Medicine Means at Our Clinic
When our team evaluates you, our medical, chiropractic, physical rehab, and massage therapy staff collaborate to determine your non-surgical, non-opioid treatment options. Once your options are explained, our staff guides you through the treatment process.
Integrative care is like building a house: certain things need to happen in order. That is why care often moves through three phases, starting with relief, then corrective and restorative care, then wellness care to help prevent future problems.
Who Integrative Medicine May Help
Integrative care may be a good fit for Crestview patients who:
- Want to avoid or delay surgery and opioid pain medication
- Have pain or injuries involving several parts of the body
- Have tried single treatments without lasting results
- Want care that looks at posture, movement, and lifestyle
- Prefer one team instead of several separate offices
Integrative medicine works alongside your primary care provider and specialists, not in place of them. We are glad to coordinate when it helps your care.
We also see patients who are simply curious whether integrative medicine could help them. Asking questions is a good place to start.
How Care Starts for Crestview Patients
Your first visit is about understanding your condition and your goals. A typical path looks like this:
Request an appointment online or call (850) 226-6728. No referral is needed, and our staff can verify your insurance benefits before treatment.
A thorough exam with orthopedic and strength testing, medically necessary X-rays if needed, and an honest talk about your goals for treatment.
Our medical, chiropractic, rehab, and massage staff review your exam together to decide which combination of treatments fits your goals.
You leave with a clear plan, including recommended visits and home exercises, which we update as you improve.
Many plans follow three general phases. Relief care comes first, often two to three visits a week for four to 12 weeks. Corrective care follows, typically about three times a week for six to ten weeks, and wellness care is usually one to four visits a month.
Integrative Medicine for Crestview and Nearby Communities
Because of the distance, Crestview patients often value a clinic where several types of care can happen during the same visit. Our Fort Walton Beach team coordinates care with that in mind.
From Crestview, take SR 85 south across the Eglin reservation, then continue through Shalimar into Fort Walton Beach and on to Beal Parkway. The trip is about 27 miles and usually takes around 40 minutes.
We also see patients who live between Crestview and the coast, along SR 85 near the Eglin reservation and Niceville.
Why Our Integrative Medicine Stands Out
Patients from Crestview choose White Sands Integrative Medical for integrative medicine for a few practical reasons:
- Plans explained in plain language, with time for your questions
- Medical, chiropractic, rehab, and massage staff collaborate on your plan
- A three-phase approach from relief to long-term wellness
- Benefits verified and explained before treatment, at no charge
Lisa Haik, APRN, FNP-BC, brings more than 25 years of health care experience and is certified in ultrasound-guided joint injections and trigger point injections. She works alongside Dr. Erik Persiani, D.C., and our rehab and massage staff.
Most of all, we want you to understand your care. We explain what we find and why we recommend each step.
Integrative Medicine in Crestview: Your Questions Answered
How far is your clinic from Crestview?
Most Crestview patients reach us in about 40 minutes by heading south on SR 85. Because of the distance, we try to coordinate several parts of your care in the same visit when that is appropriate.
What is the difference between integrative and traditional medicine?
Traditional care often focuses on relieving surface symptoms. Integrative medicine combines medical and physical medicine treatments and also looks at the underlying factors behind your condition, with a focus on non-surgical, non-opioid options.
What should I wear to my integrative medicine appointment?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, such as athletic wear, since your evaluation may include movement tests, a posture check, and a foot and ankle scan. Since the drive from Crestview takes about 40 minutes, comfortable clothes that are easy to sit in for the ride are a good idea.
How often will I need to come in?
Care typically moves through phases. Relief care is often two to three visits a week for four to 12 weeks, corrective care about three times a week for six to ten weeks, and wellness care one to four times a month. Your plan depends on your condition and goals. Because of the distance from Crestview, we try to group parts of your care into the same visit when it is appropriate.
What treatments are part of integrative medicine here?
Depending on your needs, care may include chiropractic adjustments, physical rehab, massage therapy, acupuncture, bracing and orthotics, injections, regenerative therapies, and nutrition guidance.
What payment options do you offer?
Most insurance plans are accepted at our office, including Medicare. Since coverage varies from plan to plan, our staff will check your benefits and explain them before treatment, at no charge. If you have little or no coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged.
