Scott Wagner Integrated Medicine with Dr. Scott Wagner and his medical team is a therapy team focused on providing various types of integrated medicine in Charlottesville, VA, to help manage many conditions.

These include concerns as diverse as chronic pain, a health issue triggered by many underlying issues. Here’s what you need to know about handling this severe issue.

What Is Integrated Therapy?

Integrative treatments are a suite of approaches that focus on a person as an individual rather than just their disease. We work towards understanding your symptoms and how they impact your body, mind, and soul. Evidence-based approaches make this therapy a strong option.

Many treatments are integrated into this approach, such as holistic psychotherapy, acupuncture, herbal therapies, Tai Chi, yoga, massages, and nutritional support. Note that these alternative care methods aren’t emphasized over more traditional medical treatments.

Instead, they’re integrated into a coherent whole that helps to manage you at every level. Since chronic pain is such a troubling problem, this therapy mitigates problems as diverse as depression and anxiety while also minimizing your physical pain and suffering.

How Integrated Care Can Support You 

Scott Wagner Integrated Medicine and Dr. Wagner can provide integrated medicine in Charlottesville, VA, to ensure you get the needed help. We’ll sit down with you, come up with a therapy plan, and utilize various strategies to reduce your pain problems. These include:

  • Exercise plans that release endorphins, mitigate inflammation, and improve circulation 
  • Mindfulness treatments, like meditation and breath work help your emotional state
  • Acupuncture care techniques that help stimulate natural healing processes in the body
  • Bodywork and massage therapy that can reduce tension throughout your muscles 
  • Small doses of various types of painkillers to keep your body stronger and healthier 

When handled effectively, this approach can seriously reduce your side effects (particularly when taking prescription-level pain treatments), as well as handle psychological problems associated with chronic pain. After all, many people with this problem might become depressed and struggle to feel good about life and themselves. It’s a nasty cycle we can help break.

Importantly, this treatment treats you like a human being rather than a number. We personalize all your care options to improve your quality of life and get you back on your feet again.
