TESTIMONIALS

I can’t say how much I appreciate finding your services this past year and to experience your wisdom and knowledge in the field of integrative medicine here in Murphy! Being a two time cancer survivor and more recently suffering with long Covid.. I can truly confirm that under your care I have seen great strides in my health over the past year! Your past experience is reflected in patient understanding and listening skills, along with your exceptionally keen mind about how the body works. Your nutritional advice and treatments are spot on. All the above has allowed this patient restoration and added hope for a future to once again live a normal healthy life. Thank you!

Functional Medicine Patient

I cannot recommend Amy at ITW highly enough. She has guided me through getting my autoimmune disease diagnosed through my GP. She gave me the bloodwork to ask for so that we could effectively target what needed healing in my gut and thyroid. She then put me on a protocol to reduce inflammation and heal my gut.I feel so much better than I did two months ago, my inflammation is almost gone, my thyroid numbers are normalizing and I have more energy. As an added bonus I have started losing weight. Plus she’s just a great person. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!

Functional Medicine & PT Patient

I have been working with Amy for a couple of months now and have seen a great improvement with my digestion and sinuses. Some of the other things we are working on will take a bit longer but I am very optimistic and expect to experience better health in years to come. Thanks Amy!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation where our clinician will assess your overall health and discuss your goals. We will recommend personalized treatment options and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.

Are your treatments safe?

Yes, all our treatments are performed by highly-trained and licensed professionals using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. We prioritize your safety and comfort, adhering to the highest standards of medical care.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

We welcome phone calls for brief consultations to determine if you require a full evaluation or to discuss which modalities would be best for you if you are only interested in pain and/or stress relief.

How often should I schedule treatments?

The frequency of treatments depends on the type of service and your individual needs. Regardless of whether you have a full evaluation or are using the modalities only, our clinician will discuss the best schedule for your individual needs at the first appointment.

Can I get physical therapy and functional medicine services together? Does it cost more?

Yes! Our clinician naturally incorporates elements from both disciplines into our services. If you elect to have a full evaluation and services (as opposed to modalities only), you will receive comprehensive care that includes physical therapy interventions and/or functional medicine treatment as needed for one flat rate. This full spectrum of services is unique to our clinic!

Do you have packages?

Yes, we offer a variety of packages for our modalities designed to provide you with ongoing care and savings. Our packages bundle popular treatments for management of pain, stress and inflammation.

Can you help me with my health problem?

If you suffer from a chronic medical condition, if you are frequently ill, tired or in chronic pain, or if you simply seek to optimize your health, we are often able to help improve your overall health and vitality. If you feel you are taking too many prescription drugs, want a more natural approach or wonder which supplements are right for you, we can help. Our lead clinician is certified in both physical therapy and functional medicine. She specializes in chronic pain, autoimmune conditions and cancer support/treatment. Mainstream medical practice does not focus on finding the root cause of illness and standard medical tests do not look for food sensitivities, hidden infections, environmental toxins, mold exposures, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances. Our clinician is highly-skilled at determining the root causes of your illness and addressing those.

What about laboratory testing?

Some testing can be done through conventional laboratories, and others are only available through specialty laboratories. During your evaluation, your provider will determine which tests are needed and will review testing recommendations, instructions (for instance, fasting or non-fasting, etc.) and costs. Your financial resources and how much testing you want to do are taken into account. Blood work is typically done through your primary care physician or the local health departments. We are partnered with a company that dropships specialized testing directly to you at reduced prices. Our office does not add additional fees to testing like many other clinics. This is just another way we strive to provide the most comprehensive care at the most affordable rate. 

Do you sell nutritional supplements?

Nutritional supplements are available in the office through our sister company, Lovingood Naturals. We often recommend nutritional supplements to our functional medicine patients in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary modification. We rely on scientifically-based studies to guide our therapeutic decisions regarding nutritional supplementation. We have researched high-quality nutritional products and carry only those products that undergo rigorous quality testing by nutritional research laboratories. These products are frequently of higher quality than those generally sold over the counter and are free of fillers, allergens and additives.
