What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine looks beyond isolated symptoms to factors that may affect your health, such as sleep, nutrition, activity, stress, existing conditions, and medications. For Troy patients, visits are done by telehealth, and recommendations are built around your evaluation and long-term goals.

Your health deserves more than a quick visit and a temporary solution. At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, personalized care brings together functional medicine, advanced regenerative orthobiologics, and experienced medical guidance to help you understand your options and move forward confidently.

For people exploring functional medicine in Troy, MI, the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine offers a physician-led approach that considers symptoms alongside medical history, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Whether you are managing persistent discomfort, recovering from an injury, or working toward better overall health, your care starts with listening. Functional medicine visits are done by telehealth, so you can meet with your physician online from home or work in Troy.

Board-Certified Experience That Makes a Difference

Locally owned and operated, the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine brings more than 17 years of experience to patient care. That experience matters when you need thoughtful recommendations, clear explanations, and a treatment plan built around your circumstances.

The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine includes board-certified physicians, registered nurses, and dedicated medical support professionals. Together, they help patients navigate evaluation, treatment decisions, and follow-up care. Our board-certified physicians include Thomas Nabity, MD; John Santa Ana, DO; Robert Farhat, DO; Kevin M. Nemeth, MD; John Steele, MD; and Christopher Hannasch, DO.

You deserve to know who is guiding your treatment. The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine emphasizes qualified medical oversight rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. If a regenerative procedure becomes part of your plan, our own surgery center in Rochester Hills supports coordinated procedural care when appropriate.

Looking Beyond Isolated Symptoms With Functional Medicine

Choosing functional medicine in Troy means seeking a broader conversation about your health. Symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Sleep, nutrition, activity, stress, existing conditions, and medications can all influence how you feel and function.

At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, functional medicine considers these connections while remaining attentive to your immediate concerns. The goal is to identify relevant contributors and develop practical recommendations based on your evaluation.

That may involve discussing daily habits, reviewing previous care, and determining whether additional assessment is appropriate. Recommendations should complement necessary medical treatment, not replace essential medications or specialist care without careful review. Better understanding can lead to better decisions.

Functional and Regenerative Medicine Under One Roof

The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine provides full-service regenerative medicine, including functional medicine, with expertise in advanced orthobiologic approaches.

Regenerative orthobiologics may include platelet-rich plasma and other procedures selected based on the condition, clinical findings, and patient suitability. These approaches are not interchangeable, and not every patient is a candidate.

For patients considering functional medicine in Troy, MI, access to both areas of care creates an opportunity to discuss overall health alongside a specific injury or painful condition. Our team can explain potential benefits, limitations, alternatives, and recovery expectations. Evidence and outcomes vary by procedure and diagnosis, and treatment should never come with promises of guaranteed tissue regeneration or a permanent cure.

Functional Medicine and Other Options for Auto Accidents and Injuries

An injury can interrupt everything from your workday to your weekend plans. Pain, weakness, and reduced mobility may make familiar activities unexpectedly difficult.

The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine evaluates patients with concerns related to auto accidents, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal injuries. Our experienced medical team considers the affected area, symptom history, functional limitations, and previous treatment before discussing next steps.

For an active adult, that might mean addressing lingering tendon discomfort. For someone recovering after a collision, it may mean evaluating persistent joint or spine symptoms. Our medical support staff helps coordinate the care process and follow-up. The aim is a well-supported recovery plan, with progress assessed over time rather than assumed after one appointment.

Care for Arthritis, Neuropathy, and Spine Concerns

Living with a degenerative condition can be frustrating. Symptoms may fluctuate, and treatment decisions often require balancing comfort, mobility, health history, and personal priorities.

The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine provides care for osteoarthritis, diabetic neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, and other joint, nerve, and spine concerns. If you are researching functional medicine in Troy, MI while managing one of these conditions, a comprehensive evaluation can help clarify which concerns require conventional medical management and whether additional approaches are appropriate.

Diabetic neuropathy, for example, requires attention to diabetes management as well as nerve symptoms. Spine pain also needs an accurate assessment, because similar symptoms can have different causes. Our team helps patients discuss options without treating every diagnosis as the same problem.

Functional Medicine by Telehealth for Troy Patients

All of our functional medicine visits are done by telehealth. You meet with your physician online from home or work in Troy, and follow-up visits are virtual too, which makes it easier to stay on track with your plan.

If your plan includes an in-person procedure, such as an orthobiologic treatment, our team schedules it at the appropriate clinic and explains each step ahead of time.

Invest in Healthier Years Ahead With Functional Medicine in Troy, MI

Health goals are personal. You may want to stay active with your family, return to exercise, improve everyday function, or develop habits that support healthy aging.

Through functional medicine in Troy, MI, the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine encourages a proactive conversation about these priorities. Supporting long-term health means considering realistic changes and appropriate medical care, not promising to reverse aging or extend lifespan.

Small, sustainable steps matter. So does having a medical team available to help you evaluate what is useful, what is unnecessary, and what fits your circumstances.

Understanding Insurance Coverage Before Treatment

Some procedures may be covered by insurance, depending on your plan, diagnosis, and the service provided. Other regenerative or functional medicine services may require self-payment.

The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine can help you ask the right questions before scheduling treatment. Request clarification on coverage, anticipated costs, and follow-up needs to make an informed decision, or see insurance accepted.

Schedule Your Functional Medicine Consultation

Looking for functional medicine in Troy? Connect with the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine to discuss your concerns and schedule your telehealth visit. Bring your questions and share your wellness goals with a Michigan board-certified physician.

Call the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine at (248) 216-1008 in Rochester Hills or (616) 288-1109 in Grand Rapids to request your free consultation.

Dr. Robert Farhat is extremely professional, educational & most of all cares about his patients. I went there for a tear in my shoulder, had platelet replacement therapy/surgery. (I had struggled for 6 months before this, going to PT, etc. no luck, and I did not want regular surgery.) I am back to lifting weights as prior to my injury, hiking etc. I am a True believer in this type of medical procedure!

While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

This is only a review for the first consultation. I met with Dr. Santa Anna and I was very impressed with his ability to explain my options after looking at my previous MRI's and also doing ultra sound on my shoulder. I did not feel any pressure and he gave me multiple options with his opinion on what would be the best option. I have not gotten any procedures yet and will update after I do. This is for those that might be nervous about going here for their first consultation.

I have been seeing Dr. Farhat for almost 5 or six years now. Was in an auto accident that has given me problems which led to five surgeries over the last six years. He is one of the only people that I believe that has helped my pain from my back and from my neck. He joined a wonderful group of doctors that I had seen before and I would have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them and highly recommend any of these physicians to anybody that needs care to get out of the ailment’s they have. You should have every bit of confidence in the care that they provide. They have put the care back in healthcare that has been so deeply diminishing with our insurance companies. See these guys first before you do any major surgery!

Thank you doctor Farhat! Before visiting the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. I had been dealing with a herniated disc for over a year. At times it was debilitating, and made doing most things unbearable. I am 4 weeks post stem cell and PRP injections and the difference I feel is unbelievable. My back pain is gone and I feel amazing! I am so thankful to have gone to the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. It is 100% worth it.

I did not feel pressured into anything and everything was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect. I received a PRP procedure on my neck and EMP. He also helped coordinate with other doctors to make sure I got the help I needed. He went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful and highly reccomend this practice to others. 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Dr. Farhat and his team are fantastic! After he helped me through resolving some lower back pain last year, I returned this spring for PRP in both knees. This procedure greatly improved my everyday activities: getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, and so much more! An added bonus is that I had been taking pain reliever once or twice a week for achey knees, but I haven't needed it even once since. A total win!

I had been suffering with a lumbar herniated disc for two years and did not want pain injections when I saw Dr. Nabity. After reviewing my MRI he told me I would be a candidate for stem cell injections. He explained everything and I had the procedure. It has been 3 months and my pain has reduced and my mobility has increased. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity and MCRM.

I highly recommend Dr Santos and Dr Farhat. We've had two issues in our family, my husband had debilitating arthritis and Dr Santos did a stem cell procedure a few years ago, it saved my husband's life. His pain was so severe and crippling, he was walking with a cane, it would take him 10 minutes to be able to get out of bed, even riding in a car would cause him excruciating pain. Within months of the procedure, he was able to start walking without a cane and his back continued to improve. He even went sky diving about a year later. We took my son here to see Dr Farhat about peripheral neuropathy. Dr Farhat had a great bedside manner. He took the time to talk to my son and exam him. Unfortunately a stem cell procedure is not an option to help with neuropathy, but he prescribed mediation that has taken away the severe pain he was experiencing. Other doctors we saw didn't take the time and just wrote my son off. Just after a couple of weeks on the medication, my son's pain is nearly gone. I can't thank the doctors enough for how much they have helped our family.

It has been 3 months since I had my bone marrow/PRF & PRP treatments. I had my left knee, both hips and L-3,4,5 transplant-injections. Before treatment my pain level was unbearable. I couldn’t get through a day or night without pain. I couldn’t sleep on my side (hips), my knee woke me up many times each night. I tried Physical Therapy twice, acupuncture and was told to try cortisol shots. I did not want to just have a temporary solution, if that would have helped at all. I do not have any pain in my knee now. My hips and back pain is a One to Two on the pain scale now because I now can exercise twice a day for 20-30 minutes. The procedure was not painful at all. I am thankful for the Doctors and Nurses at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. My body is only three months into this journey of healing, I will continue to heal and improve over the next three months. Many thanks Dr. SantaAna.

After years of enduring excruciating pain and sleepless nights, I found relief at the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. Chronic back and shoulder discomfort had taken a toll on my well-being, leaving me fatigued and irritable. My family even nicknamed me "Shrek" due to my constant agony. However, thanks to the expert care I received at the center, I've experienced a remarkable transformation. Following treatment for my back and shoulder, I am now able to lift my arm over my head—a simple task that had eluded me for years. Today, I am no longer plagued by pain and misery, and I finally find myself living a life filled with happiness and comfort. (from Tom Lints)

I was having serious SI joint flares for a few months and was having a hard time working because of the pain and inability to walk very well. I then started physical therapy but was not able to do my exercises very well because of the pain. I heard about PRP and contacted the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine. I was able to get PRP done the next week and it was a life saver! I truly thought I was never going to be the same again. All the staff and Doctor Santa Ana were super kind and helpful during the procedure. I felt better right away and have not had a flare since the procedure. I am so thankful and recommend this to anyone with severe pain!

FAQ

Functional Medicine Questions

Answers to common questions about functional medicine and telehealth visits. Your physician can address your specific situation during a consultation.

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine looks at factors that may contribute to how you feel and function, such as sleep, nutrition, activity, stress, existing conditions, and medications, and builds recommendations around your evaluation and goals.

Do Troy patients need to travel for functional medicine visits?

No. All functional medicine visits are done by telehealth, so you can meet with your physician online from home or work in Troy. If an in-person procedure becomes part of your plan, our team schedules it at the appropriate clinic.

Who will guide my care?

Your care is guided by board-certified physicians, supported by registered nurses and medical support staff who help with evaluation, treatment decisions, and follow-up.

Does functional medicine replace my current medications or specialists?

No. Recommendations should complement necessary medical treatment, not replace essential medications or specialist care without careful review.

Can functional medicine be combined with regenerative treatment?

Sometimes. Depending on your diagnosis and suitability, your physician may discuss platelet-rich plasma or other orthobiologic procedures alongside functional medicine recommendations. Not every patient is a candidate.

Can you help after an auto accident or sports injury?

Our team evaluates patients with concerns related to auto accidents, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal injuries, then discusses next steps based on your symptoms, limitations, and previous treatment.

What conditions do you see?

Patients come to us with osteoarthritis, diabetic neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, and other joint, nerve, and spine concerns. Each condition needs its own evaluation.

Is functional medicine about anti-aging?

Conversations about healthy aging focus on realistic changes and appropriate medical care, such as better everyday function and sustainable habits, not promises to reverse aging or extend lifespan.

Is functional medicine covered by insurance?

Some procedures may be covered depending on your plan, diagnosis, and the service provided. Other services may require self-payment. Ask about coverage and anticipated costs before treatment.
