Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.
The principles of integrative medicine:
  • A partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process
  • Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body’s innate healing response
  • Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body
  • A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically
  • Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science, be inquiry driven, and be open to new paradigms
  •  Use of natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible
  • Use of the broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease

With Dr. Lynn Flowers
An individualized plan is designed for each patient that might include: vitamin or herbal supplementation, bioidentical hormones, fitness prescription, stress reduction, and dietary changes to assist you in aging well and preventing disease. We combine traditional Western medical practices with integrative medicine to provide you with the best overall care that you deserve.
Dr. Flowers uses data from each part of your life along with labs to design a treatment plan that meets your needs.

With Yoga
Like other meditative movement practices used for health purposes, various styles of yoga typically combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. Studies also suggest that practicing yoga (as well as other forms of regular exercise) might have other health benefits such as reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and may also help relieve anxiety and depression.
At Flowers Medical Group, Laura Currie uses her background in fitness and psychology to educate her students about the benefits of connecting the movements of their bodies and breath as they learn to calm their minds.
