By Integrative Medicine (MI) we understand the synergy between Conventional and Natural Medicine. It is, therefore, a discipline that uses procedures endorsed by the scientific and methodological rigor coming from both Conventional and Natural Medicine - in our case: Acupuncture / Traditional Chinese Medicine, Phytotherapy (plants), Homeopathy and Medical Nutrition - as well as Neurosensory Stimulation Techniques (Psycho-phono-audiology): Tomatís Techniques.

The objective of the MI is the achievement and maintenance of health and well-being through the approach, or the combination of approaches, that allow maximum efficiency (Efficacy / Cost) with the minimum presence of secondary and / or undesirable effects, from a strict optics of individualization of situations and insisting, in a proactive way, on the prevention and approach of the human being as a whole, considering, as a whole, the physical, psychic and emotional aspects of the person, both in a situation of health as of illness.

 

It is an objective strived from the point of view of knowledge, training and logistics, since it requires preparation in various conventional and natural medical disciplines, but the results obtained make the subject exciting, at the same time as they justify the plus invested effort.

The fact that MI is in medical hands is a guarantee of efficacy and safety, given that it avoids the potentially serious dangers arising from the professional intrusiveness of supposed non-medical naturopaths who do not know, due to obvious formal training absence, the medical details of the pathologies that are treated -that are studied in depth in the medical career: 6 years, and MIR specialization: from 3 to 5 years and in their inherent continuing education- as well as the behavior of conventional medical treatments and their interactions with natural remedies , which can sometimes be very intense.

The scope of action of the MI encompasses many aspects of routine medical work but, for reasons of precision, we will focus on the environment of our specialty. Thus, as pioneers in MI, we contribute our experience in the Integrative Treatment of: development problems of the speech and language, psychomotor retardation, school maladjustment, hyperactivity, attention disorders, intelligibility problems (with or without hearing loss), hearing alterations, dysphonia, mood alterations, anxiety, headaches and TMJ alterations, dizziness and instabilities, tinnitus, hyperacusis, allergies, sleep disorders, repetitive infections, prevention and treatment of adverse physical, psychological and emotional effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, facial paralysis ...
