Integrative medicine can help alleviate stress, reduce pain and anxiety, manage symptoms, maintain strength and flexibility and promote a sense of well-being. It has been found effective in treating headaches, back pain, anxiety/depression and more.

More physicians and healthcare institutions are weaving complementary therapies into their treatment plans. And results of studies are providing solid evidence that complementary therapies, coupled with conventional treatment, can improve outcomes if properly prescribed.

Our Integrative Medicine Services are inspired by the lotus, a flower rich in symbolism and meaning. The lotus often grows in unclean water, but its beauty is untouched by the environment. Similarly, healing and wellness can arise even amidst illness, stress or difficulty. Just as lotus petals unfold in their resplendent grace, you can experience the lasting joy of a healthy body, mind and spirit.

The Center for Living at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Illinois is partnering with SIU School of Medicine to bring Integrative Medicine Services to patients in central Illinois.
