Dr. Shounuck Patel has coined the term Functional Orthopedics based on his foundational philosophy focused on osteopathic medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation and functional medicine. Through the last 7 years of helping patients who are experiencing orthopedic pain, it has become evident there is a strong need for quality weight management systems. That is where functional weight management comes into play.
Carrying excess weight can be heavy (literally and physically) on your physical, mental, and heart health leading to significant increases in both chronic disease and pain. Our practice has teamed up with some of the top health and wellness brands in the industry to bridge the gap between quality, hands-on healthcare and the cutting edge, technology and resources accessible to us.
By evaluating and understanding a patient’s lifestyle from diet and exercise, to sleep, stress management, and medical history we are able to create a whole picture approach that address the root cause and not only helps the patient lead a healthier life but also understand the importance of each factor and how to identify the best practices moving forward for longevity.
