Note from Dr. Bump Dear patient, We at Integrated Healthcare (IHC) thank you for choosing us to be part of your journeytowards better health. At IHC we believe that you the patient is at the center of the wellnesspath and that we, your care team, are there to facilitate decisions along the way. As a result, we together create a working relation with you to optimize your health potential, achieving your goals and increasing your overall sense of joy and well-being, with lasting results.

IHC delivers on an approach to wellness that is truly unique. With roots in a systems biologyapproach using the Functional Medicine model, along with incorporating structural integrity, we offer a ‘whole-being’ approach that goes well beyond the structural and biomolecular level of care. In other words, your emotional, mental, and physical all are enveloped in your care path. This model we call functional medicine, or FxMed for short, uses a systems biology approach to explore imbalances that cause the underlying symptoms and conditions you are experiencing. This includes chronic pain and inflammation, which more often than not, is the result ofmetabolic imbalance. The care received at IHC is not the typical impersonal and hurried kind you might beaccustomed to receiving; but involves a significant investment of time for both the patient andcare team. For this reason, the patient handbook has been compiled to provide details on what can be expected throughout the relationship. We ask that each patient sign anacknowledgement form that the handbook has been reviewed and understood. We look forward to partnering with you. Often people are so focused on their destination, that the road to get there is often not fully enjoyed nor honored. You are embarking on a journey that will be sure to bring both its challenges and rewards. It begins with a decision and the first step; now.

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine, or FxMd for short, is a model of health care where you the patient, are the center of an individualized, science based approach for offering only natural therapies which include diet, life-style, herbs and nutrients. With a FxMd approach to wellness you work with Dr. Bump directly to discover your underlying imbalances, and causes for your health concerns. In FxMd we help you restore balance to you life in each and every area, which can include not only the physical body, but also emotional, mental and spiritual. By discovering the root causes of your symptoms, we will be able to better understand all thecomplex ways it may express, whether it be fatigue, autoimmunity, gastrointestinal, chronic pain and inflammation, hormonal issues, and every other condition known to us! We might find that one condition has numerous causes, and conversely we might learn that one cause might lead to many conditions. In FxMd you the patient is the center of the wheel rolling towards wellness. Structural Integrity/Chiropractic At IHC, we refer to chiropractic care as Structural Integrity, as our physical structure dovetailsintimately with how our bodies function. In other words Structure affects Function, and Function also affects Structure. Our approach to working with patients often incorporates therapies that address underlying imbalances from a structural perspective. This not only includes chronic mus-cle tension and inflammation patterns, but also the joints. It also includes addressing the deeper supportive tissues, often overlooked in a typical chiropractic or massage experience. Using our Functional Medicine approach with evaluating and treating the “structural integrity” of your body we will address everything from your joints, muscles, ligaments, to the fascia andconnective tissue right down to the cellular level. This truly becomes a whole person healingexperience! We also utilize the most current treatment modalities and correct chronic pain andinflammation syndromes Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Commonly known as “cold Laser” therapy, as the light emitted does not heat the tissue the way some lasers do. Therefore you are comfortable throughout the treatment process. LLLT emits low levels of light, of various frequencies, that are absorbed by your cells, which then promote in-creased cellular energy and ultimately help heal surrounding tissues. LLLT helps regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and increase immunity, and research has shown its efficacy in treating many conditions, including and not limited to the following common ailments: pain, chronic or acute, injury, sprain, strains or muscle tension, acne, autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto’s, microbial infection, energy and fatigue syndromes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What conditions and diseases do you treat?

At Integrated Health Care (IHC) we like to say that we do not treat disease, we treat all of you.The focus is on you and how you developed a condition or disease. We clarify what isn’tworking well and how to restore balance to those areas for your optimal health. Using thisapproach, we discover the causes of “disease” rather than treating symptoms. One symptommight have many causes, and one cause might create many symptoms.

With that said, patients come to us with any condition imaginable, but some of the morecommon expressions of imbalances are:

• Chronic viral and bacterial infections• Epstein–Barr virus ( EBV)• Chronic Fatigue• Autoimmune disorders• Gastro-intestinal disorders including: GERD, IBS, Colitis, Crohn’s• Pain and inflammation• Hormonal imbalances• Thyroid disease including Hashimoto’s• Rheumatoid Arthritis• Lyme Disease• Environmental and chemical sensitivity• Yeast and mold toxicity• Allergies• Heavy metals toxicity• Mood and behavioral disorders

Do you treat childhood illness? Yes, of course, children response incredibly well to the Functional Medicine approach. See“What Conditions and diseases does Dr. Bump treat?” above.

What can I expect from the initial Fx Med visit?

It will be unlike any doctoring experience you have had, as you will actually engage in dialogueand be “heard”. The Integrated Health Care (IHC) motto is: “If we don’t know who you are, thenhow can we help you?” This is a lengthy meeting, (often 2 hours) where patients sits with Dr.Bump and our health coach to share your story. IHC will want to know detail how it is you cameto be sitting in our office. This initial meeting is wonderfully intense and often very revealing.In preparation for this first office visit you will need to complete Living Matrix/HealthHistory/Patient Intake forms online and have it completed at least 7 days prior to your visit. Thiswill enable us to perform a records review and prepare for our first meeting.

12

How many visits will I need?

The frequency and length of your follow-up appointments will depend on the nature of yourillness and your success with our dietary, lifestyle and nutrient recommendations. We find thatmost people see significant improvement after 3 - 4 visits, or over 6 months. That said, if youhave a complex condition, your healing could take longer and may require more visits to steadily‘peel back the layers’ of imbalance and “dis-ease”.

What’s the difference between a consultation and coaching?

In a consultation we are gathering, looking for and sharing information specific to your case.ÊHere, the doctor is educating you and making recommendations.

Coaching is a vehicle for helping people to achieve a higher level of well-being andÊperformance, particularly when change is difficult. Coaching is a partnership of patient focusedÊself discovery that elicits autonomous motivation, increases the capacity to change, andÊfacilitates a change process which leads to sustainable change for the good. See coachingÊsection for more information.
