As a nationally recognized leader in medical care, research and innovative medical technologies, it’s no surprise that Atrium Health also offers integrative medicine therapies. This emerging field combines modern medicine with evidence-based alternative medicine to promote patient healing and treat disease.
The Atrium Health Primary Care and Integrative Medicine practice (formerly Atrium Health NorthEast Internal & Integrative Medicine) located in Concord, NC, offers a comprehensive selection of services, both traditional and alternative.
For example, a patient who suffers from chronic headaches may receive nutritional counseling, aromatherapy and acupuncture to help with pain. These are “easier” treatment options with little to no risk of adverse reactions. But the physician can also build on the patient’s treatment plan and recommend prescription medicines, if necessary.
Patients can also receive their annual physicals, where their physician will focus not just on treating current conditions but also on preventing future health problems. They can manage anxiety through breathing exercises, supplements and yoga classes. They can help their patients’ digestive issues with food eliminations or by adding vitamins that they are commonly missing in their diet. And they can ease their chronic pain with yoga classes and manual therapy.
Our doctors and staff also offer traditional primary care, including treatments for short-term illnesses, such as colds, flu and sinusitis, and for chronic diseases.
These are just a small sampling of the health issues and their treatments provided by the physicians at Atrium Health Primary Care and Integrative Medicine, with more physicians joining to support this expanding practice – Richard Botelho, MD and Rachel Eyma, MD.
