It is a personalized health care system that treats the individual, not the disease. It supports the normal healing mechanisms of the body, naturally, rather than attacking disease directly with a drug or surgery.2) Functional Medicine is deeply science based and utilizes many forms of diagnostic testing such as, blood, saliva and urine for diagnostic purposes. The latest research shows us that what happens within us is connected in a complicated network or web of relationships. Understanding those relationships allows us to see deep into the functioning of the body.3) Your body is intelligent and has the capacity for self-regulation, which expresses itself through a dynamic balance of all your body systems.4) Your body has the ability to heal and prevent nearly all the diseases both chronic and acute.5) Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t<h4>\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p><strong>SCHEDULE A PHONE CONSULT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mancuso is committed to proactively prevent disease and maintain wellness, vitality and quality of life.
