Research & Evidence The science behind our integrative approach
At GreenRX, our treatment approaches are grounded in scientific evidence. Explore the research that informs our practice and learn how we integrate the latest findings into our patient care.
Our Evidence-Based Approach
We believe that effective healthcare must be informed by scientific evidence while honoring traditional healing wisdom that has stood the test of time. Our approach to evidence considers multiple sources of knowledge:
- Peer-reviewed scientific research, including clinical trials and systematic reviews - Observational and epidemiological studies - Traditional medical systems with documented historical effectiveness - Clinical expertise and practice-based evidence - Patient values, preferences, and individual responses
This comprehensive view of evidence allows us to provide care that is both scientifically sound and individually relevant to each patient's unique circumstances.

Explore ResearchFeatured Research: Integrative Approaches to Chronic Pain
A growing body of research supports the effectiveness of integrative approaches for chronic pain management. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have demonstrated that multimodal treatments combining conventional pain management with complementary therapies often provide superior outcomes compared to single-modality approaches.
Key findings from recent research include:
- Acupuncture showing clinically significant benefits for multiple pain conditions, including back pain, osteoarthritis, and headaches - Mind-body interventions such as mindfulness-based stress reduction demonstrating effectiveness for pain reduction and improved function - Anti-inflammatory dietary patterns associated with reduced pain severity in conditions with inflammatory components - Specific botanical medicines showing promise for pain modulation with favorable safety profiles
These findings inform our comprehensive pain management programs, which integrate evidence-based conventional and complementary approaches tailored to each patient's specific needs.
