Poe Holistic Health is now offering functional medicine consultations for residents of Cambridge, MA, who are struggling with chronic pain, as part of an ongoing effort to expand access to integrative health solutions in the area. The service is expected to benefit those seeking a complementary adjunct to their existing treatment, as well as patients who prefer not to rely solely on prescription painkillers for long-term pain management.

A representative from the practice explained that the move comes in response to growing demand from individuals who have found conventional approaches to chronic pain insufficient on their own. “We’re not here to simply manage symptoms,” they said. “The goal is to understand what is driving the pain in the first place and address those underlying factors directly.”
Research supports the value of this kind of integrative care. A study published in the journal Medicine found that integrative medicine inpatient treatment can benefit patients with chronic pain conditions, with functional improvements associated with an improved ability to change and implement new behaviors, greater disease acceptance, and higher satisfaction with care outcomes.
Poe Holistic Health’s approach centers on identifying and addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms with medications alone. Dr. Kristen Poe examines factors such as inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, and nutritional deficiencies that may be perpetuating a patient’s discomfort, then develops treatment plans tailored to each individual’s unique health profile.
Treatment plans may incorporate lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, supplements, and other evidence-informed interventions designed to restore balance and function.
Care does not end after the initial consultation. “We check in regularly to see where a patient stands and adjust the approach based on how their body is responding because what someone needs at the start of the process often looks very different from what they need three months in,” the spokesperson added.
For patients who engage consistently with the process, outcomes typically include progressive improvements in energy, digestion, mood, sleep quality, and hormonal balance as the body begins to rebalance. Reduced inflammation and increased resilience over time are also expected as the underlying drivers of chronic pain are addressed.
Treatment plans are personally designed by Dr. Kristen Poe, who holds a PhD in Alternative Medicine and a Doctorate of Naprapathy and serves as a professor at the National University of Medical Sciences, among other credentials. Her multidisciplinary background informs the practice’s integrative approach to patient care.
In addition to chronic pain consultations, Poe Holistic Health offers a range of holistic health services for those looking to take a broader approach to their wellbeing.
