Functional medicine in rehabilitation takes a holistic approach, emphasizing the underlying factors affecting a patient's recovery. This approach integrates dietary modifications, stress management, and lifestyle changes to create a supportive environment for healing. By addressing inflammation, sleep quality, and metabolic health, functional medicine helps reduce symptoms that slow down recovery. Nutritional plans rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds can play a significant role in pain reduction and muscle repair. Combined with targeted physical therapies, this method supports both physical and mental wellness, enabling patients to achieve sustainable recovery and maintain their health beyond rehabilitation.
