Functional Medicine Testing at This Office

Panels measure things a routine annual physical is not designed to order, and they are read against your history, your medication list and what you actually came in about.

The medication list is read closely at this desk. Some patients here arrive on five or six prescriptions written by four different people, and some of what gets blamed on age belongs to that list instead.

No plan is written until the panels are back, and a set that comes back unremarkable is reported to you as exactly that.

Here is what a functional workup looks for at the Lady Lake desk.

Gut Health Care for The Villages

Digestive complaints are a common reason for a call from The Villages. Reflux that started after a hospital stay. Constipation that arrived with a new tablet. Bloating that has quietly reorganized where somebody is willing to eat, and how far they are willing to drive to do it.

The work looks at food sensitivities, gut bacteria balance and nutritional gaps, then builds a plan around targeted nutrition and supplementation. Fatigue and brain fog usually travel with all of it.

How a Course Runs Around Three Treating Days

This office treats Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, mornings from 8:30 and afternoons from 2:30. Tuesday and Friday are by appointment, and it is closed Saturday and Sunday.

Plan a Lady Lake visit off these hours and not the other office's, because the two offices run different weeks. The Lakeland treating days sit on the Lakeland office hours in full.

A course here is one long first appointment, a gap while panels are processed, then a sit-down where the results are explained.

Patients who go north for part of the year should say so at that first visit.

What It Costs, and What Medicare Does

Functional and holistic care here is self-pay. The testing and the plan that follows are quoted separately, before anything is ordered.

Medicare matters at this address, and coverage varies by plan and by service. The front desk will tell you what applies before you commit to anything.

Chiropractic care at ChiroMed bills insurance, and our team verifies those benefits first. Payment plans are available for self-pay care.

New patients start with the consultation, exam, X-rays if needed and report of findings for $47.

What We Can Show You, and What We Cannot

Lady Lake is the newer of our two offices and its review base is still small, so there is no wall of local testimonials about gut work to point you at. We will not move one across from the other office and call it local.

What we can put in front of you is checkable. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC has 22 years in practice and performs the examination himself at this address.

One of the categories this practice lists under is Holistic medicine practitioner, and the license behind every plan written here is a Doctor of Chiropractic license, not any other kind.

Nothing is ordered before the results are back.

Why This Starts With an Examination

A functional plan sold off a questionnaire is a supplement order with a clipboard in front of it.

Everything here starts with a consultation and an examination, because the useful answer is sometimes that your symptoms belong to a spine, a nerve or a circulation problem rather than to your gut.

Chiropractic care, spinal and knee decompression, Neuromed electroanalgesia, Omniwave acoustic wave therapy, metabolic care and functional testing sit in one building on one plan. The fatigue, the numb feet and the bloating are looked at by the same clinician rather than by three who never speak.

This does not replace your physician.
