Functional Medicine

One of Dr. Niemeyer’s gifts is her ability to act as a health detective, digging deeply into the nuances of your health to determine the underlying imbalances that are creating dysfunction in your physical, mental, and emotional states. Acupuncture is powerful medicine, but sometimes there is something hidden beneath the surface, something that keeps you from enjoying a full transformation into where you want to be.

Driven by her desire to curate treatments that get to the root of the issue, Dr. Niemeyer is now offering Functional Medicine, which is another key to unlock the mystery of an issue that defies resolution. Dr Niemeyer has studied Chinese medicine which gives us a world of information about your health, and Functional medicine provides an even deeper perspective. Functional Medicine is all about using the technology of Western testing to find out what is going on with your body and identifying ways we can optimize your health.

What is the difference between acupuncture and FM?

  • Acupuncture stimulates the body to provoke a response, which significantly speeds up healing time.

  • Acupuncture reprograms the immune system and nervous system to stay in a state of regulation.

  • Acupuncture elicits a relaxation response.

  • Functional medicine works on solving problems, that are resistant to treatment and healing.

  • Functional medicine uses comprehensive testing to get to the root of a problem.

When would you want to utilize Functional Medicine?

  • You don’t feel right; you’ve been to all kinds of specialists and no one can tell you what is wrong.

  • You can’t seem to feel better, despite doing everything “right.”

  • You suspect that you’ve been exposed to mold or toxins.

  • You’ve been feeling much better since starting Acupuncture, but you haven’t gotten to 100% yet.

What if I just need a simple Hormone blood test done? Do I need to sign up for the Functional Medicine SubscriptioN?

You don’t need a Full Functional Medicine Subscription for Dr. Niemeyer to read some simple lab tests, if you are a current Acupuncture patient. Tests with less than 6 markers, like standard hormone tests, can be ordered and reviewed without the commitment to the subscription. However, going forward we will be charging $50-200 to look over simple testing from an outside Dr. or simple testing ordered by our office.
