Integrative and Holistic Care for Fort Walton Beach, FL
An integrative team that looks at the causes behind your symptoms, for Fort Walton Beach residents who want a holistic approach.
Helping Fort Walton Beach Residents Feel and Move Better
Fort Walton Beach is a year-round fishing and beach community, and life here tends to be active, from early boat launches to evenings on the Okaloosa Island boardwalk. When pain starts limiting those routines, it helps to have an integrative clinic on Beal Parkway instead of a long drive away.
Standard care often focuses on the outward symptoms of an injury or disease. Integrative medicine also looks at the underlying circumstances that may have brought those symptoms about.
How Our Integrative Team Works
Treatment combines medical and physical medicine techniques to ease symptoms while working on your long-term goals and the underlying cause of your condition.
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.
Is Integrative Care Right for You?
Patients often choose integrative medicine when they:
- 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
We are determined to address not just your symptoms, but the factors that led to your current condition.
Many people from Fort Walton Beach put off care because they hope the problem will go away on its own. If it keeps returning, an evaluation is worth it.
From First Call to Care Plan
From the first phone call to your follow-up visits, here is what integrative medicine at our clinic usually involves:
Schedule by phone at (850) 226-6728 or online. New patient forms are available on our website so check-in goes quickly.
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.
Care often moves from relief to correction to wellness. Early visits focus on easing pain and inflammation, the corrective phase works on posture and biomechanics so tissues heal more completely, and wellness visits help you stay on track based on your lifestyle and goals.
Serving Fort Walton Beach and the Surrounding Area
Fort Walton Beach patients often tell us they want one place that looks at the whole picture instead of sending them to several offices across town. Our clinic brings several types of care together on Beal Parkway.
Getting here is simple from anywhere in town: follow Beal Parkway (SR 189) to 24 Beal Pkwy. Patients coming from Okaloosa Island cross the Brooks Bridge on US 98 and head north on Beal, usually in well under ten minutes.
Our location also makes us convenient for families just outside city limits, including Ocean City, Cinco Bayou, Mary Esther, and the Hurlburt Field area to the west.
What Fort Walton Beach Patients Can Expect From Our Team
Here is what you can count on when you come to us from Fort Walton Beach:
- 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
- Flexible payment programs for patients with little or no coverage
Dr. Erik Persiani, D.C., brings his chiropractic and integrative medicine experience to every plan, and Lisa Haik, APRN, FNP-BC, an Air Force veteran and board certified family nurse practitioner, adds a medical perspective.
The last thing we want is for you to come to us in crisis. Addressing a problem early is usually easier than trying to recover later.
Integrative Medicine in Fort Walton Beach: Your Questions Answered
How far is your clinic from Fort Walton Beach?
Not far at all. We are located on Beal Parkway (SR 189) in the middle of Fort Walton Beach, and most patients in the 32547, 32548, and 32549 ZIP codes reach us in under ten minutes.
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 for my first visit?
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. If you are coming straight from work on base or a shift in town, consider packing a change of comfortable clothes.
How long does integrative medicine usually take?
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 our office is in Fort Walton Beach, many local patients find it easy to stop in before or after work.
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?
Our office participates in most insurance programs, including Medicare, and we also accept auto accident, workers' compensation, and personal injury cases. Because coverage varies widely, our staff will verify and explain your benefits before treatment, at no charge.
