What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is a patient-centered, systems-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, it considers genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to restore optimal function throughout the body.

How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?

Conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management or disease-specific treatment. Functional medicine seeks to understand why symptoms occur by addressing underlying imbalances and working collaboratively with patients to develop personalized care plans.

What can I expect during a functional medicine consultation?

Your consultation includes a comprehensive health assessment, a detailed review of your medical history, lifestyle, and environmental factors, and—when appropriate—advanced functional lab testing. Based on this information, Dr. Quintana creates a customized care plan tailored to your unique needs.

What is a personalized health roadmap?

A personalized health roadmap is a customized plan created after your initial consultation. It outlines specific dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplementation strategies designed to help you reach your health goals efficiently and sustainably.

What kind of lab testing do you use?

We use advanced functional lab testing that goes beyond standard bloodwork. These tests can identify nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut health issues, inflammation, and other underlying contributors to chronic health concerns.

Do I need a referral to see a functional medicine practitioner?

No referral is required. You can schedule your free 15-minute discovery call directly with Mind Body Balance Clinic.

What is telemedicine and how does it work?

Telemedicine allows you to meet with Dr. Quintana via secure video consultations. This option is ideal for reviewing lab results, receiving guidance, and adjusting your health plan without visiting the clinic in person.

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving the spine and nervous system. Through precise spinal adjustments and manual therapies, chiropractic care helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing ability.

What conditions can chiropractic care help with?

Chiropractic care can help relieve neck pain, back pain, headaches, joint stiffness, sciatica, sports injuries, muscle tightness, and postural issues. It can also enhance range of motion and overall physical performance.

What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Quintana applies a controlled, high-velocity force to a specific spinal joint segment to improve alignment and motion. This helps reduce nerve irritation, muscle tightness, pain, and restores normal function.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes. Chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe, drug-free, and non-invasive treatment for neuromusculoskeletal conditions when performed by a trained and licensed professional like Dr. Quintana.

How many chiropractic sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, and your health goals. Dr. Quintana will outline a personalized treatment plan after your initial evaluation.

What is the popping sound during an adjustment?

The popping or cracking sound heard during an adjustment is caused by the release of gas bubbles from joint fluid. It is completely normal and does not indicate bones grinding or breaking.
