You've Been Told Everything Looks "Normal."
But You Still Don't Feel Like Yourself.
Functional Medicine is at the center of Dr. Naylous’s approach—using comprehensive laboratory testing, nutrition, lifestyle evaluation, and environmental assessment to investigate chronic, confusing, or unresolved symptoms.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine may be incorporated alongside this care to support pain, stress, sleep, digestion, and nervous-system regulation.
Dr. Arik Naylous specializes in acupuncture as part of a broader, individualized approach to care. Treatments are tailored to each patient’s symptoms, health history, and overall clinical picture, with the goal of supporting the nervous system, improving circulation, reducing pain, and helping the body function more efficiently.
Acupuncture may be incorporated into care for concerns such as pain, headaches, digestive symptoms, stress, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and other chronic or complex conditions.
Acupuncture
The name reflects the three ways Dr. Naylous may approach care—but Functional Medicine and laboratory investigation form the core of the practice.
Needles, Herbs & Labs
Functional Medicine is a major focus of Dr. Naylous’s practice and is especially useful for patients who have persistent symptoms but still do not feel they have clear answers. He uses detailed health history, nutrition and lifestyle evaluation, environmental exposure assessment, and comprehensive laboratory testing to investigate potential underlying contributors to a patient’s symptoms.
His functional medicine approach may include evaluation of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, hormone balance, fatigue, inflammation, metabolic health, environmental exposures, and other complex health concerns. Findings are then used to create an individualized plan that may include nutrition, targeted supplementation, lifestyle support, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.
