Welcome to the Holistic Wellness Center of the Carolinas – Research Based Functional Wellness

Holistic primary care is a type of primary care that takes into account the whole person, including physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of their health. The benefits of holistic primary care include:

First, holistic primary care focuses on the root causes of a patient’s health issues rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach can lead to more effective and long-lasting treatment outcomes. For example, a holistic primary care physician may take into account a patient’s stress levels, diet and exercise habits, and social support in addition to their physical symptoms when treating a condition such as high blood pressure.

Second, holistic primary care recognizes the importance of the mind-body connection in overall health. It incorporates practices such as meditation, yoga and other forms of stress management to help patients manage their physical and emotional symptoms. This approach can lead to improved overall well-being, and can also help to prevent the development of chronic health conditions.

Third, holistic primary care takes into account the social and environmental factors that can impact a patient’s health.

Finally, holistic primary care emphasizes patient-centered care, which means that patients are involved in the decision-making process and their preferences, values, and beliefs are taken into account. This can lead to better adherence to treatment plans and improved overall satisfaction with care.

In summary, holistic primary care is an approach that takes into account the whole person, including physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of their health. This approach can lead to more effective and long-lasting treatment outcomes, improved overall well-being, addressing social and environmental factors and emphasis on patient-centered care.
