Presenter: Dr. Diana Sarkar, MD, Dabma
Dr. Sarkar feels that the medicine of the twenty-first century should be individual not disease diagnosis with a ?one size fits all? treatment protocol. Dr. Sarkar will share her ideas with us on how it is possible to have integrative medical consultation that will treat the whole person. This is a holistic approach that allows for a safe and supportive environment for the healing process, and guidance for self development and self healing. Some of the therapies and modalities that might be used to individualize treatments include but are not limited to medical acupuncture, herbal medicine as an adjunct to traditional medications, preventive medicine, lifestyle and stress management, counseling and biofeedback, manual therapies, nutritional and supplement counseling, mind-body techniques for wellness and guidance in learning to live effectively with chronic Illness. Dr. Sarkar will focus on how to partner with illness and injuries to facilitate healing. Dr. Sarkar has an active practice in Knoxville .She most commonly uses therapies that are an adjunct to a patient?s regular medical care from his/her primary care physician thereby being able to treat the whole person.
