Functional Medicine in Scranton: Supporting Wellness Across the Electric City
Scranton’s blend of historic neighborhoods, revitalized downtown areas, and surrounding Lackawanna County communities reflects a diverse range of health needs. While many residents lead active and family-centered lives, symptoms such as low energy, digestive discomfort, brain fog, or hormonal fluctuations can still affect daily routines. Functional Medicine helps uncover the deeper drivers of these concerns and provides a clear, individualized path toward lasting wellbeing.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine examines how digestion, hormones, metabolism, immune function, stress, and lifestyle interact. Rather than managing symptoms in isolation, this approach applies root-cause principles supported by comprehensive testing to identify what is contributing to chronic or unexplained symptoms.
