Functional Medicine | Ashland, OR
Rooted in wellness, we help you get to the root cause of your health issues.
Did you know that chronic health issues are often caused by imbalances? With so many systems and functions, our bodies need to maintain a delicate ecosystem. You may have an issue with your gut, nutrition, hormones, or brain chemistry. When this happens, you struggle with a host of symptoms.
So why choose functional medicine with Dr. Vaughn and Chad Brown, PA-C, IFMC?
Conventional care only treats the symptoms. A pill may help you feel a little less pain, but it does nothing for the underlying issues. Work with MotherRoot in Ashland, OR, for a truly personalized wellness journey. We run the most advanced tests to find out what’s truly going on with your body. Then, we create a customized wellness plan tailored to you. We even offer primary care for everyday health needs.
