Living with PCOS can be extremely painful and for many, downright unbearable. Holistic practitioners are medical professionals, skilled in alternative medicine and health care treatments.
Unlike naturopathic doctors who solely focus on natural health remedies and therapy, board-certified holistic health doctors have conventional medical training. To clarify, naturopathic medicine is frequently used in integrative and holistic medicine.
If PCOS is disrupting your life, find out how holistic practitioners are the biggest allies for treatment and support.
Holistic Doctor
Think of your body as a whole person and your health as a complete unit, not individual parts. This is exactly what holistic doctors do. They can help patients obtain permanent health solutions, not simply heal certain parts of someone’s health. Holistic practitioners believe that long-term healing is to understand a patient’s complete health and wellness (nutrition, daily habits, mental health).
Yes, it is common for people suffering from PCOS to be prescribed medication for pain and other symptoms. Although, holistic practitioners create a personalized health and wellness plan for each patient in hopes of alleviating their pain permanently (1).
Prescribing medication is just one small part of holistic medicine. First, holistic practitioners will sit down with you for an initial consultation that lasts a few hours. You will explain your day-to-day routine for meals and nutrition, sleep habits, exercise routine, and any stressors in your life. This in-depth conversation about any current pain or discomfort allows your holistic doctor to determine the possible root causes of your condition(s). Then, your doctor will assign lab work if necessary.
Specifically, PCOS can disrupt your life in other ways such as creating problems with fertility, sleep, mood, and/or weight gain (2). A holistic doctor will go over with you a range of therapies and supplements that will lessen the burden of your PCOS.
One of the most essential things any great holistic doctor will do is clarify PCOS myths. At CentreSpringMD, you will find a team of holistic practitioners that offer full support for your individual health needs.
