Introduction to Functional Medicine
At London Osteopathic Care, we believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness, where the body’s systems are treated as interconnected, not isolated. Functional Medicine is a core aspect of our integrated care model, offering personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of chronic conditions, rather than just alleviating symptoms.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of disease. It moves beyond traditional symptom management to consider the whole person — their genetics, environment, lifestyle, and biochemical balance — to create a comprehensive, customized treatment plan.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats the symptoms of disease, Functional Medicine digs deeper into the root causes, taking into account individual health history, family genetics, and environmental influences. By understanding the unique factors contributing to your health concerns, we can provide a more effective and long-lasting solution.
How Does Functional Medicine Work at London Osteopathic Care?
At London Osteopathic Care, we combine Functional Medicine with Osteopathy and Homeopathy to create a truly integrative approach to your health and wellness. Whether you are struggling with digestive issues, chronic pain, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or autoimmune conditions, our expert practitioners work together to offer a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
- Osteopathy: We use hands-on osteopathic techniques to restore mobility, ease pain, and address musculoskeletal issues that can arise due to chronic illness or poor posture.
- Homeopathy: Our experienced homeopaths use individualized remedies to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and restore balance.
- Functional Medicine: We take a detailed approach to understanding your symptoms, incorporating lab tests, personalized nutrition plans, and lifestyle changes to help optimize your health from within.
What to Expect from Functional Medicine Consultations
During your Functional Medicine consultation, we’ll take the time to listen to your health history, discuss your symptoms, and carry out detailed assessments to understand the root causes of your health concerns. From there, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan that may include dietary changes, stress management techniques, supplements, functional lab testing, and targeted therapies to help restore balance to your body.
Functional Medicine is about collaboration — together, we’ll help you understand what’s happening inside your body and how to make positive changes that will have a lasting impact on your overall health.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is much like osteopathy where the whole body is taken into account, not just the diseased state. Homeopathy is a holistic approach used to treat acute and chronic conditions. It is based on the principle “like cures like”. Like osteopathy it treats the whole person and looks beyond the symptoms and instead focuses on the cause of the symptom.
Homeopathic medicines are safe and effective to use and notably safe on; babies, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Homeopathy may be used to treat the following ailments
- eczema,
- depression,
- anxiety,
- cough,
- menopausal symptoms,
- chronic fatigue syndrome,
- hay fever,
- upper respiratory tract infections,
- asthma, allergies,
- IBS, Crohn’s disease,
- chronic rhinitis,
- headaches,
- pregnancy,
- childbirth
- thyroid issues.
