Core Inflammation Panel

Dr. Erin West

At Mend Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in Gilbert, Arizona, we believe your body was designed to heal when given the right support. Our mission is to help you become healthier and happier by addressing the root causes of illness whenever possible, using evidence-informed integrative care before considering more invasive approaches. Our practice combines Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Functional Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Cold Laser Therapy, Medical Microneedling, and Cupping Therapy to create personalized treatment plans that support your body's natural healing abilities. When interpreting laboratory testing, I use functional optimal ranges rather than population averages. Instead of simply determining whether your results fall within a broad "normal" range, I evaluate where your markers are most likely to support optimal health, energy, and long-term wellness. My goal is to identify imbalances before they progress into disease whenever possible. Every lab interpretation session concludes with a clear, personalized written action plan—not simply a list of values to monitor. You'll leave with practical recommendations that may include nutrition, lifestyle strategies, targeted supplements, herbal medicine, and other evidence-informed therapies tailored to your unique needs. As a 5-star rated acupuncture and functional medicine clinic, we proudly help patients seeking support for digestive health, hormone balance, fertility, chronic pain, stress, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, and overall wellness. Let us help you activate your Healing Machine!
