From the practitioner: About My Practice
The purpose of Flourish Nutrition and Chiropractic is to discover the root causes of people's health concerns, address them and create agreeable plans to increase the nutritional health and quality of life for our clients. Dr. Sannelli works together with clients in a non-judgmental manner to identify factors that may be causing biochemical, structural and/or emotional stress and unwanted health consequences. Compreshensive questionnaires, consultations, physical exams and assessments including specific laboratory tests, functional medicine exams & stress evaluations, & holistic, evidence-based methods for healing are utilized on an individual basis. Together we solve health puzzles and help adults and children get their lives back.
From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect
Patients can expect to be treated with compassion and respect. A Functional Medicine Questionnaire is completed and submitted one-week prior to meeting with Dr. Sannelli. The initial consultation is 90 minutes and allows patients to discuss what's most important to them regarding their health and nutrition, as well as any questions they may have. Once patients' goals and needs are identified, Dr. Sannelli does physical exams and any essential lab work.
Patients are also checked for how well their bodies adapt to stress. Finally, a plan of action is agreed upon and implementation begins to restore biological systems and overall balance. Customized food plans and lifestyle methods are part of care for support and patient progress.
