What Our Patients Are Saying
Shawn at Fix Medical Group made my first chiropractic experience absolutely incredible. His approach completely put me at ease. During his analysis and information gathering portion of the appointment, his attention to detail was incredible. He listened, asked great questions and was able to draw some crucial additional pieces of information out of me that I didn’t think pertained (but they did). He made sure I understood what he thought the problem was and we are in the process of creating a game plan to fix it. I’m a 30yr old avid CrossFitter and hiker and have had chronic low back pain for years. After the first appointment, I felt the best I have felt in 10 years. I can’t wait to continue to work with Shawn and his team. I would give Shawn and Fix Medical 6 stars if I could. Great experience!! Definitely will go back.
I first learned about Dr. Shawn Robek, from Sue Falsone at a Perform Better Seminar. She highly recommended Dr Shawn and said he would be able to help. I had a total knee reconstruction of my left knee, all new ligaments. I was about a year out when we first met and I was in constant pain, with every step I took. I wasn’t able to flex my quad due to severe muscle atrophy and I thought I would never squat again. I just finished my 12th session with him and I’m squatting, lunging, jumping and walking with no pain! I worked really hard inside his gym and did the homework as he requested. We built a friendship that will last forever ! Thank you, Dr Shawn, for being you! May God continue to bless you and your business!
Everybody that I have met that works here is great! I’ve been to several doctors over the last few months, and I am actually scheduled to have eight-disc fusion surgery in June, but I have had 3 sessions with Shawn and he really knows the human body. He is aggressive in his treatment, but he knows what he’s doing, and I am so glad that I started seeing him. Before I couldn’t even walk my dog to the mailbox without my sciatica really killing me, but today after my appointment with Shawn, I could walk to the mailbox without my leg bothering me at all. So, then I walked another mile, which is big for me. Normally I can’t walk more than a couple hundred feet without my sciatica killing me because of the curve in my back. I’m glad I found these guys and I will continue my treatment with them.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Functional Medicine Doctor
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a way of thinking about medical care and preventative measures which focuses on the entire body rather than just a problem area. One of the core beliefs of the practice of functional medicine is the body is made up of many systems which are all connected to one another. To understand an issue with one of these systems, you must understand which other parts interact with it and how the entire body works together to get to the root cause of the issue.
Functional medicine also takes into account a person’s mental state, their environment, and their daily habits such as diet and exercise to truly paint a complete picture of health, rather than just focusing on symptoms of an issue and basing treatment on a limited view.
What does functional medicine treat?
If you are looking for a natural way to treat common ailments without surgical intervention and/or the need for medication, functional medicine might be right for you.
Chronic pain, health conditions, and more can be treated using functional medicine. At FIX Medical Group, we have helped people succeed with functional medicine when dealing with high blood pressure, mental health issues, pain as a result of inflammation (arthritis), chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain, and many more issues which plague our society today.
By proving a whole picture of health, functional medicine can be used to treat a wide array of these common issues.
What happens during a functional medicine evaluation?
At FIX Medical Group, we offer a customized solution for every client and a functional medicine evaluation is the first step to offering holistic care.
Not only will we perform physical tests and determine common allergens, check for diseases, and run lab tests when needed, we truly listen to the patient to understand their perspective.
Your health plan will be based on your goals. We don’t offer a cookie-cutter solution, and another fundamental belief of functional medicine states the patient should take an active role in their care. We work with you as a coach to help make a plan to improve your overall health and get you back to pursuing your passions without pain.
What are functional medicine treatments?
Functional medicine treatments are non-invasive and help the body heal in natural ways.
Treatments can include changes to your diet and lifestyle, the addition of natural supplements to give the body the nutrients it needs to thrive, customized meal and workout plans, and more methods that address the body as a whole.
What is considered functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, as well as factors like genetics, environment, lifestyle, and mental health, to create personalized treatment plans. It emphasizes prevention, natural healing, and patient empowerment.
What are the 7 nodes of functional medicine?
The 7 nodes of functional medicine represent key areas of focus in understanding and treating health issues:
1. Assimilation (digestion, absorption, microbiome)
2. Defense and Repair (immune system, inflammation)
3. Energy (mitochondrial function, metabolism)
4. Biotransformation and Elimination (detoxification, liver function)
5. Transport (cardiovascular and lymphatic systems)
6. Communication (hormones, neurotransmitters)
7. Structural Integrity (musculoskeletal system, cellular membranes)
These nodes help practitioners analyze how different systems interact and contribute to overall health.
What is the difference between medicine and functional medicine?
Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific symptoms or diseases, frequently relying on medications or surgeries. Functional medicine, on the other hand, takes a holistic approach, addressing the underlying causes of illness by considering the whole body, lifestyle, and environmental factors. It prioritizes prevention, natural treatments, and patient-centered care.
Is functional medicine the future?
Functional medicine is gaining popularity as more people seek personalized, holistic, and preventative healthcare solutions. Its focus on root-cause analysis, patient empowerment, and natural healing aligns with growing trends toward wellness and integrative care. While it may not replace traditional medicine entirely, it is likely to play an increasingly significant role in the future of healthcare.
What to ask a functional medicine doctor?
When consulting a functional medicine doctor, consider asking:
How do you determine the root cause of my health issues?
What role do diet, lifestyle, and environment play in my condition?
Will my treatment plan include natural supplements or lifestyle changes?
How do you personalize treatment plans for each patient?
What can I do to actively participate in my healing process?
How do you measure progress and success in treatment?
What is the difference between functional medicine and endocrinology?
Endocrinology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, thyroid issues, and hormonal imbalances.
Functional medicine, while it may address endocrine issues, takes a broader approach by considering how the endocrine system interacts with other body systems, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. It aims to restore balance and health through holistic, root-cause solutions rather than just managing symptoms.
