Some of the practitioners at Bayside Medical Suites possess additional qualifications in Integrative Medicine (IM). IM is defined as a practice that places great importance on the patient-practitioner relationship, uses an evidence-based framework, and employs a comprehensive range of appropriate therapeutic and lifestyle approaches to treat the whole person. This holistic view includes recognising the importance of environmental, spiritual, social, emotional, physical and lifestyle issues as significant contributors to chronic disease. Essentially, IM involves the systematic integration of evidence-based complementary medicine (CM) modalities into conventional healthcare. Examples of Complementary Medicines include Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, Herbal Medicine, Hypnosis, and Mind-Body Medicine.
