RestorMedicine is an integrative medical clinic that specializes in chronic, complex illnesses. We are located in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego, CA.
For almost 20 years, Dr. Nicola Ducharme and her team at RestorMedicine have been providing care for individuals who have struggled to find help elsewhere. Often with a history of being misdiagnosed, misunderstood and mistreated, patients who find their way to RestorMedicine finally get to have the experience of being listened to, cared about, and heard.
Using a combination of clinical skill and experience, along with the most specialized, sensitive diagnostic testing, we can help you find the answers that may have eluded you previously.
Our Integrative Approach to Health Care
Our integrative approach to health and wellness combines conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies to address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our patients’ well-being. We recognize that each person is unique and will require a personalized approach to achieve optimal health.
Key Components of RestorMedicine’s Integrative Approach to Health and Wellness
Holistic Perspective
Our approach considers the whole person, taking into account their lifestyle, environment, and personal beliefs. It focuses on treating the root causes of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms.
Combining Conventional and Alternative Medicine
Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies such as herbal medicine, detoxification protocols, nutritional supplementation, nutritional counseling, IV/ozone therapy, immune therapies, and mindfulness practices. Our goal is to utilize a range of approaches that work together to support the healing and well-being of our patients.
Patient-Centered Care
We emphasize the importance of an ongoing partnership between the healthcare provider and the patient. We encourage active participation in decision-making and empower our patients to take responsibility for their own health.
Prevention and Lifestyle Modifications
Our approach places significant emphasis on preventive measures and lifestyle modifications. This may include stress reduction techniques, exercise, proper nutrition, adequate sleep, and other self-care practices to promote overall wellness and disease prevention.
Mind-Body-Spirit Connection
Our practitioners recognize the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. We acknowledge that emotional and spiritual well-being can significantly impact physical health and vice versa. Practices like meditation, yoga, and mindfulness are often recommended.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Each person’s health needs and goals are unique. Integrative practitioners take an individualized approach, considering a person’s specific circumstances and creating tailored treatment plans that may involve a combination of therapies.
It is important to note that integrative medicine does not reject conventional medicine but rather seeks to enhance it by incorporating additional approaches to address the full spectrum of an individual’s health and well-being. It promotes a collaborative and comprehensive approach to healthcare that empowers individuals to take an active role in their own healing process.
