Functional Medicine Offered by Powell Clinic

We offer individually tailored programs to achieve healthy living and promote healthy aging.

Functional medicine is an integrative, science-based discipline that treats illness and promotes wellness by focusing on the biochemically unique aspects of each patient and then using individually tailored interventions to restore physiological, psychological and structural balance.

Functional medicine is personalized health care that acknowledges the relationship of dysfunction and illness to diet lifestyle and environment.

The concepts of Functional Medicine, as we apply them in patient care, were founded by Jeffrey Bland, PhD and David Jones, MD in 1993.

Dr. Powell is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has completed the advanced training offered by this organization.

Dr. Powell  Asks some important questions of interest to Scottsdale residents - Chiropractor Scottsdale Dr. Powell Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Scottsdale chiropractic practice.
