Integrative Medicine Near Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
From Blue Mountain Beach to the trails of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Santa Rosa Beach is a place where people stay active outdoors. Our integrative clinic in Fort Walton Beach is about 47 minutes west by car.
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
Corrective care uses physical medicine to retrain the body to function the way it was designed to. You may be asked to take part in physical rehab, use corrective knee braces or foot orthoses with or without a heel lift, or work on postural and biomechanical issues.
Treatment combines medical and physical medicine techniques to ease symptoms while working on your long-term goals and the underlying cause of your condition.
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.
Every patient's history is different, so we never assume. Your first visit in our Fort Walton Beach office is where we confirm what is going on.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
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 detailed health history and physical exam, checking range of motion, orthopedic tests, and muscle strength, with X-rays only when medically necessary.
Our medical, chiropractic, rehab, and massage staff review your exam together to decide which combination of treatments fits your goals.
Your team reviews progress at follow-up visits and changes the plan when needed, so each visit moves you toward your goals.
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.
