Positive ANA test results – What to do?
If you have received a positive ANA test result, you may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next. ANA (antinuclear antibody) is a blood test that is used to help diagnose autoimmune diseases, including lupus, scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis. A positive result means that you have antibodies in your blood that target your own tissues and organs.
While a positive ANA test can be a helpful tool in diagnosing autoimmune diseases, it is not always definitive, and many people with positive results do not go on to develop a full-blown autoimmune disease. That's why it is important to work with a healthcare professional who can help you understand your test results and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Functional medicine
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that emphasizes the identification and addressing of the root causes of diseases. It recognizes that every individual is different and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare.
Our physicians are double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology and are also IFM (The Institute for Functional Medicine) certified practitioners, which signifies their advanced training in functional medicine.

How is Functional Medicine Different?
Functional medicine practitioners seek for the cause of the disease “upstream” taking into account patient’s genetic makeup, physiology and lifestyle factors.
Discovering the root cause
Functional medicine addresses the root cause of health issues, rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach involves a complete and personalized assessment.
Individual treatment plan
By identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in the body, we are able to create personalized treatment plan that address the underlying causes of illness.
Conventional medicine with an individual focus
Combining functional medicine with conventional medical treatments for managing chronic conditions can improve outcomes and reduce the need for medication or surgery. Functional medicine aims to create a patient-practitioner partnership.
Long-term natural pain relief supplements
By identifying areas of imbalance or deficiency, we can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and supplements that can help patients optimize their overall health and prevent recurring health issues.
Our unique approach
allows us to get to the root cause of your health issues and develop
personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs.
Revolutionize your rheumatology care with integrative medicine.
Dr. Jovanovic consider of crucial importance an approach to patients “as a whole” which ultimately increases their chances for a successful treatment and a long term remission.
