Steven Rachlin, M.D., is a physician and internist trained in both Western and Complimentary medicine.
His ultimate goal is to use a holistic approach to provide each patient with the best options from evidence-based complementary/alternative therapies as well as conventional Western medicine.
He essentially combines the best of both worlds. Rachlin uses state-of-the-art tools and comprehensive blood work to diagnose disease, and just as importantly, provides the latest therapies to treat and prevent further illness and heal the mind, body and spirit. His goal is to use a natural approach first. He believes in fighting inflammation through vitamin supplementation, vitamin Iv therapy and nutrition.
Rachlin is a big proponent of supplements and believes the Standard American Diet, which is loaded with sugar and processed foods, is a factor in fueling disease.
The Rachlin Medical Center focuses on a holistic approach to patient care. Rachlin and his staff look at the whole patient and use multiple treatments, including nutrition/diet, vitamin supplementation, Iv therapy, weight management and exercise. They coach their patients on how to achieve overall wellness. They recommend to their patients yoga, meditation, acupuncture and stress management. They treat a wide range of illnesses/diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, diabetes, chronic fatigue, allergies, heavy metal toxicity, arthritis, obesity, hormone imbalances, high blood pressure, depression and detoxification.
Rachlin believes that the immune system needs to be built up in order to treat and prevent illness. Through vitamin supplementation, Iv therapy and diet, Rachlin and his staff can make major improvements to their patients’ overall health.
Integrative medicine can be thought of as “healing oriented medicine,” which takes into account the whole person (mind, body and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle and the stresses in a person’s life. It emphasizes a therapeutic relationship that regards the patient as an active partner that takes responsibility for his/her health. Integrative medicine encourages those to take an active role in their health to prevent disease. The incidence of heart disease, cancer and diabetes could be significantly reduced by better lifestyle choices.
