NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center
Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury—but when it becomes chronic, it can fuel pain, autoimmunity, fatigue, and disease. At Patients Medical in New York City, our integrative inflammation treatment goes beyond pain management. We investigate root causes—like food sensitivities, toxins, gut imbalance, and stress—and deliver personalized therapies to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore vitality.
With deep diagnostic insight and functional approaches led by Dr. Rashmi Gulati, we guide you toward sustained relief and resilience.
What Is Inflammation?
Inflammation is your immune system’s defense mechanism. Acute inflammation helps heal; chronic inflammation, however, is damaging—linked to arthritis, cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, autoimmunity, and more. We focus on identifying drivers—immune dysfunction, environmental triggers, and metabolic imbalances—so we can reduce pathological inflammation without compromising your immune defense.
Symptoms often go unnoticed or misattributed but can include:
We go beyond symptom control by identifying underlying triggers:
We customize anti-inflammatory meal plans that remove common trigger foods like gluten, dairy, and processed sugar while emphasizing nutrient-rich, whole foods. Diets are rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients to lower inflammation and support cellular repair and detoxification. Nutrition is the foundation of every healing plan we offer.
We recommend science-backed botanicals and nutrients like turmeric, boswellia, omega-3 fatty acids, ginger, magnesium, and quercetin. These work to interrupt inflammatory pathways, support antioxidant function, and improve joint and tissue health—safely and effectively when prescribed based on testing
For patients with high inflammation or poor absorption, IV therapy delivers anti-inflammatory nutrients like Vitamin C, glutathione, and magnesium directly to cells. We also use peptide therapy to support immune modulation, reduce pain, and aid tissue repair at a cellular level.
Stress hormones like cortisol can fuel inflammation. We use adaptogenic herbs, guided mindfulness, acupuncture, and hormone optimization to calm the nervous system and regulate cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormone imbalances—critical for inflammation recovery.
Inflammation often originates in the gut. We use stool testing to guide protocols with probiotics, L-glutamine, herbal antimicrobials, and gut-healing nutrients to repair the intestinal lining, reduce immune activation, and prevent future inflammatory flare-ups.
Carlos, age 52, struggled with chronic knee and shoulder pain, along with digestive issues. Labs revealed high hs-CRP, gluten sensitivity, leaky gut, and subclinical thyroid dysfunction.
He followed a 12-week integrative plan: elimination diet, targeted IVs, herbal anti-inflammatories, gut healing supplements, stress adaptation strategies, and peptide therapy.
By week 10, his pain had resolved, digestion normalized, and joint stiffness disappeared—confirmed by a significant drop in inflammatory markers.

Absolutely. Eliminating triggers (like gluten, sugar, dairy) and adding anti-inflammatory foods can significantly reduce pain, aid healing, and improve well-being.
Not always. IVs are recommended when lab markers are high or symptoms are severe to accelerate relief—but many patients improve with diet, supplements, and lifestyle alone.
Yes, when prescribed in proper doses based on testing. We monitor labs to ensure safety and efficacy over time.
Many people see marked improvement within 4–8 weeks; complex or systemic cases may require 3–6 months for lasting change.
Yes—hormonal stress responses drive inflammation. Addressing cortisol and HPA-axis health is critical for healing.
Absolutely. Our integrative protocols are designed to complement conventional treatments. We provide superbills for reimbursement as needed.
