Root Cause Identification & Solutions

Root Cause Identification & Solutions

At Balance in Healing, we identify the root cause of your illness and address it from that knowledge to restore your body, mind and soul to good health and sound mind.

What is Root Cause Identification?

Digging beyond symptoms to discover the underlining causes of these symptoms is what root cause identification is.
Let’s use headache for instance, to bring root cause identification into perspective. If you are down with a headache, you take a trip to your family doctor with the hope that they (the family doctor) will be able to pinpoint what causes the headache. This is opposed to visiting your family doctor with the mindset of getting some prescription drugs to numb the pounding painful feeling that accompanies the headache. The same can be said about diarrhea, runny nose, sore throat, cough, high blood pressure, high temperature, lack of quality sleep, constant fatigue, etc.

The Differences

For each of the symptoms above, we can decide to visit our pharmacist friend, colleague or family member to hand us some OTC drugs to treat it specifically, and that is it. More so, we can even take matters into our hands by resorting to some DIY techniques.
A person battling a headache may decide to take two pills of paracetamol. Loperamide may be effective in dealing with diarrhea while inhaling steam, and avoiding cold things may reduce sore throat, runny nose and cough. Applying cold to key points on the body may reduce high body temperature, while some OTC drugs may manage high blood pressure, lack of quality sleep and fatigue.
If you noticed, all the so-called remedies above only seek to treat the symptoms and never the underlining issues. Headaches, sore throat, high body temperature, cold, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, etc., are never sicknesses to treat per se. Instead, they are like warnings. The pains and discomfort are only there to alert us of underlining issues.
Unfortunately, most people tend to miss the message the body is trying to pass across. Some of us get the message but still prefer to proffer a short-term solution anyways.

We Operate Differently at Balance in Healing

At Balance in Healing, we treat every reported symptom as a message and signal. We understand that symptoms such as headache, diarrhea, runny nose and stomach, insomnia, fatigue, etc., are not the real thing to worry about. We know that they are the manifestations and evidence of something bigger happening in the body. That bigger something, that bigger picture, is what we seek to deal with.
Each time a patient reports any problem, our first line of action is analyzing the problem to give us a deeper insight into it. We will then perform a root cause analysis to identify the root causes of the reported problems. Our treatment recommendation will then be based on whatever information we get from the tests.
