Chronic diseases are a significant concern in the modern world, affecting millions of people every year. Unlike acute illnesses that are temporary and often treated with immediate solutions, chronic diseases persist for extended periods and often worsen over time. Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that managing chronic disease requires more than just treating symptoms. Our integrative approach combines conventional medicine with functional and holistic treatments to address the root causes of chronic disease and promote overall wellness.

We customized a 4-month integrative plan for John that included:
After 4 months, John’s blood sugar levels normalized, his blood pressure dropped, and he lost 20 pounds. He felt more energized and no longer needed medication.
