Functional Medicine in Manassas, VA
At Altmed Medical Center, we believe being healthy isn’t just about not being sick. If you’re in the Manassas area and have been struggling with ongoing health issues that just won’t go away, our functional medicine services might be the missing piece.
We’re located close to Manassas Park and just a short drive from the historic Manassas Battlefield Park—right in the heart of a community we’re proud to serve.
What Exactly Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine takes a different path than traditional medicine. Instead of just giving you something to cover up symptoms, we take a step back and ask, “Why is this happening?”
Let’s say you’ve been feeling completely drained for months, and your doctor keeps saying your test results are “normal.” But you know something’s off. That’s where we come in. Our approach looks at your whole body—your habits, your diet, your environment, your stress—and works to connect the dots.
We’re not here to load you up with pills. We’re here to find lasting solutions. People come to us for everything from gut issues to fatigue, hormone troubles to brain fog. And more often than not, they’ve already tried the usual treatments—with little to no relief.

Could Functional Medicine Help You?
You’d be surprised how many people benefit from this kind of care. You don’t need to have a major diagnosis to feel like something isn’t right. Here are just a few of the things we help with:
- Always feeling tired? We’ll dig into why your energy’s low instead of just telling you to sleep more.
- Stomach problems? If you deal with bloating, constipation, or food reactions, we’ll help figure out what’s actually causing it.
- Hormone imbalance? Whether it’s mood swings, PMS, or unexplained weight gain, we work to balance things out naturally.
- Chronic pain? Instead of masking the pain, we focus on healing what’s behind it.
What Happens During Your First Visit?
Your first appointment isn’t rushed. In fact, it’s the opposite. When you visit us, we take time to listen, ask questions, and learn your whole story.
Before your visit, we’ll ask you to fill out some detailed forms about your health and lifestyle—don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it. Then, when you come in, you’ll meet our warm, welcoming team.
We might recommend some advanced lab tests based on your symptoms. These help us get a clearer picture of what’s going on beneath the surface. And to make real change easier, we also offer health coaching—so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

-
Longer Appointments:
Functional medicine doctors typically spend more time with you because their process involves recording a detailed history. -
Alternative Treatments:
In addition to prescription drugs, functional medicine doctors may also prescribe alternative treatments like acupuncture, meditation, or herbal remedies. -
Chronic Illness:
Functional medicine is well suited to treating chronic illnesses. Doctors in this field seek to find the causes of chronic disease, as opposed to treating the symptoms. -
Personalized Experience:
Functional medicine addresses each person individually. Using different methods than a conventional medical doctor, a functional medicine doctor will help you figure out which specific treatments are right for you.

Principles of Functional Medicine
Some principles of functional medicine can be listed as:
- Everyone is different, both genetically and biochemically. With this in mind, functional medicine clinics take a personalized approach, treating the patient and not the disease. Instead of tackling the disease directly, functional medicine practitioners find ways for the body’s normal healing mechanisms to resolve the problem.
- Functional medicine is science-based. There is a complex network of interconnected relationships within our body, not unlike the many webs that connect us in other ways. By understanding those relationships, functional medicine practitioners can have a deeper comprehension of the body.
- The human body has the capacity of self-regulation. Your body has millions of systems that are interconnected with one another in a delicate balance. Sometimes certain conditions can knock your body off balance.
- Your body can often heal itself and can prevent nearly all of the diseases of aging.
- Health is a state of immense vitality, not just the absence of a disease or an ailment.
