Why Choose Us

Wondering whether our facility is the right option for you? Here are some of the benefits of choosing STAR (Spine Technology and Rehabilitation) to treat, manage, and prevent illness:

Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine treats your condition at the source so you don’t have to rely on pain medication.

Your body has intrinsic healing properties. So, our integrative medicine clinic employs scientifically sound techniques to activate its natural healing elements.

Regenerative medicine addresses pain by repairing your damaged cells and tissues. It uses stem cells and bio-scaffolding to treat the source directly.

Pain medication doesn’t have to be your primary management tool. Choose regenerative medicine.

Understanding Integrative, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine

Alternative therapies are non-mainstream treatments that are used instead of conventional practices, while complementary therapies are non-mainstream treatments used together with traditional medicine. When providers offer both conventional and alternative medical care, it is referred to as integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine aims to enhance your overall health rather than focusing purely on your disease or illness. Your healthcare providers at STAR recognize that the body, mind, and spirit interact as a sum of their parts. Accordingly, our exhaustive diagnostic studies (to determine the underlying reason for your symptoms or ailment) as well as our treatment approach are provided in that context; ensuring an optimal outcome.

The practice uses complementary therapies based on scientific research to enhance your health and well-being; understanding that all aspects of the body, whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, affect your health. Keep in mind that integrative medicine therapies use both conventional and alternative methods to promote the healing process.

Unlike functional medicine, which offers individualized treatment for a particular ailment, integrative medicine is designed to target the body as a whole and not just the disease.

Defining Principles

Throughout the recovery process, the sufferer, and the therapist work together and the practitioner is viewed as a catalyst for change rather than a drug prescriber.
The spirit, mind, and body are all taken into account when determining health, well-being, and sickness.
Along with the concept of therapy, the broader ideas of health promotion and disease prevention are essential for integrative health care.
Integrative medicine views the symptoms as a messenger and the healing process as a voyage of self-discovery and empowerment.
The appropriate application of conventional and alternative techniques supports the body’s natural capacity to heal.
When possible, holistic and non-invasive therapies are used.
Neither traditional medicine nor alternative remedies are outright rejected in integrative medicine.
Evidence-based, inquiry-driven, and open to fresh perspectives are the tenets of integrative medicine.
Health professionals that use integrative approaches should live by its concepts and dedicate themselves to self-discovery and self-improvement.

The Difference Between Conventional Medicine and Integrative Medicine

When you visit a conventional healthcare provider, you’ll typically receive treatment for your symptoms in the form of medication or surgical interventions. However, by focusing the approach on the whole person (not just the symptoms or disease), integrative medicine aims to achieve optimal health through lifestyle changes and holistic treatment. As the integrative medicine approach is aimed at the factors which lead to poor health (versus the conventional approach which focuses solely on disease features), illness is successfully treated and further maladies are prevented without harmful medications or invasive surgeries.
