Conventional Medicine
Conventional Medicine is typically thought of as the modern area of medicine. It’s also known as Western medicine, allopathic medicine, biomedicine, or mainstream medicine.
Conventional Medicine encompasses only the last two or three hundred years. It has had an enormous evolution on so many levels. Whether it is the accomplishments of intensive care medicine, saving lives when nothing else could, trauma medicine, drug therapy in cardiology and also on antibiotics, antivirals, oncology, and immunotherapy, disease modifying drugs in rheumatoid arthritis to name a few, this is nothing short of awe striking. Whether it is imaging studies and CTs and MRIs, helping to identify specific areas of problems, ruling in or out a tumor, assessing a bleed including in the brain, neonatology, conventional medicine has its absolute place. Joint replacements is another amazing area of development. It saves lives and reestablishes quality of life in so many cases, changing humanity.
As much as conventional medicine has accomplished, a many people feel a void in regards to some less extreme medical scenarios and common ailments. This is in part because modern medicine is excellent in diagnosing issues in the physical body, but not good in assessing things that may have to do more with the life force body.
Therefore, in reality, a combination of the best of all worlds seems to be the only true path forward. Dr. Pautz is Board Certified in Internal (ABIM) and Integrative Medicine (ABOIM) and holds several other integrative certifications that she included in her practice.
