An Integrative Approach to Health
Addresses Underlying Problems

Have you been wondering about the value of non-conventional health practices? PinnacleCare vets out promising, evidence-based therapies, from both conventional and complementary medical fields. Alternative approaches range from stress management, nutritional supplementation and sleep coaching to ancient practices of acupuncture and natural healing remedies. Dr. Katherine Virkstis, a graduate of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine and a member of PinnacleCare’s research team, conducts extensive research into naturopathic medicine for Members.

Many highly-credentialed conventional physicians and top medical centers are endorsing integrative medicine. Increasingly, their focus is a comprehensive solution to address underlying causes of illness and varying degrees of “un-wellness.”

PinnacleCare Advocate Jacqueline Kreinik, MS, experienced in both conventional and complementary healthcare, notes, “The integrative approach, combining conventional and complementary healing therapies to treat illness and optimize health, is becoming the prism through which practitioners view the individual as an entire person. An important distinction is the view that illness does not develop in a vacuum. Almost everything a human being does, how he or she lives, has an affect on overall health.”
