Functional Conditions

Whole-System Support for Functional Health Concerns

 

Many people come in with concerns that don’t fit neatly into one box—fatigue that lingers, pain that keeps returning, digestion that never quite settles, cycles that feel off, or sleep that won’t stabilize. These patterns often reflect how the body’s systems are working together over time, not a single issue in isolation.

​

At ECHO, care focuses on supporting those systems directly. Rooted in East Asian Medicine, treatment works with the nervous system, digestion, hormones, immune function, mood, and sleep to help the body regulate more effectively and recover its natural balance.

​

Rather than chasing symptoms, we look for the underlying patterns shaping them. Treatment is steady, individualized, and responsive—supporting lasting change by helping the body do what it’s designed to do.

​

Common Functional Concerns We Support

  • Ongoing fatigue, burnout, or low energy—even with adequate rest

  • Digestive discomfort, including bloating, irregularity, or food sensitivities

  • Hormonal shifts such as PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, or menstrual irregularity

  • Brain fog, mood changes, or difficulty with focus and concentration

  • Chronic or unexplained pain that hasn’t shown up clearly on imaging

  • Sleep disruption, trouble winding down, or waking unrefreshed

  • Nervous system imbalance, including overstimulation or heightened stress response

  • A general sense of feeling “off,” even when labs appear normal

​​

Our Approach at ECHO

 

Health concerns rarely have a single cause—and the body rarely heals through force. We begin with curiosity and connection, tailoring each session to your needs and goals. Care may include:

  • Acupuncture to regulate underlying systems and promote internal balance

  • Herbal medicine to support digestion, hormones, energy, and clarity

  • Moxibustion to rebuild what’s been depleted and enhance overall vitality


This work is often sought by those who’ve tried everything and still don’t feel like themselves. We meet you there—with nuance, care, and respect for the complexity of your experience.
 

What to Expect

 

You don’t need a perfect label or plan to begin. Whether you’re navigating a chronic condition or sensing early signs of imbalance, this care offers a space to explore what’s underneath—and begin to shift it.
