Personalized Treatment Plans
Dr. Amber Brooks, DC, MSN, CACCP, BCIP, RN has found implementing personalized care is the key to healing. Personalized medicine is different because it ensures the patient gets the best care for them as an individual, there is not a one size fits all to improving health.
Creating a personalized screening and treatment plan involves:
-
Spending the entire scheduled appointment with the child gather information to provide the best care possible.
-
Identifying the chances of a person developing disease and selecting strategies to lower the risk
-
Finds and solves the cause of problems; not solely concerned with the “label” or diagnosis.
-
Implementing the ideal wellness plan for best patient outcomes, fewer side effects and faster recovery is best
-
Predicting what adjunct therapies need to be added and predicting the risk of recurrence ensures long term benefits and continued improvement

Dr. Brooks has reached the point of certainty that proper nutritional supplementation, diet modification and elimination of underlying issues is the most effective strategy for improving and maintaining greater health outcomes for children. The simplest strategy is to add high-quality supplements to significantly improve mental, physical and emotional function.
Integrative Pediatrics is defined as finding the underlying cause of disease and using a patient-centered approach. This approach addresses the whole person, not just a set of isolated symptoms. A functional medicine based practitioner (MD, DC, DO, ND) is not concerned about diagnosing or labeling a symptom, but truly understanding the body as a whole and working with the patient to achieve their goals.
