High Blood Pressure Support in Greenville, SC
High Blood Pressure Support at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a leading cardiovascular risk factor affecting nearly half of all American adults. While medications effectively lower blood pressure numbers, they do not address the reasons pressure is elevated — arterial stiffness, gut dysbiosis, magnesium deficiency, chronic stress and cortisol excess, kidney dysfunction, sleep apnea, and chronic inflammation. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry offers evidence-based integrative support for hypertension — reducing blood pressure through root cause treatment rather than lifelong pharmaceutical management alone.
How High Blood Pressure Support Works
Blood pressure support at IHP combines functional medicine investigation (kidney function, inflammatory markers, magnesium and potassium status, cortisol curve, sleep apnea screening, and dietary analysis), acupuncture (which has documented antihypertensive effects via sympathetic nervous system reduction and endorphin release), Chinese herbal medicine (herbs with clinical evidence for blood pressure reduction, including dan shen and uncaria), and lifestyle protocol (dietary sodium, DASH diet implementation, magnesium supplementation, and stress reduction).
Conditions Treated with High Blood Pressure Support
Your First Appointment
Bring home blood pressure readings (multiple readings at different times of day are more informative than a single office measurement). Bring your current medication list. Describe dietary patterns, alcohol intake, stress level, and sleep quality.
Why Dr. Hendry for High Blood Pressure Support
Dr. Hendry's functional medicine investigation identifies the modifiable drivers of elevated blood pressure — magnesium deficiency, sleep apnea, cortisol excess — that conventional antihypertensive prescribing does not address.
