What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is more than a treatment—it’s a whole new way of looking at health. Instead of chasing symptoms, we ask deeper questions: Why is this happening? What’s driving the dysfunction? This patient-centered approach focuses on identifying and resolving the root cause of chronic health issues, so healing is lasting, not just temporary.
The goal is to help your body regain balance, restore function, and vitality.
At Bay Clinic of Chiropractic in Panama City, FL, Dr. Tony Salamay delivers this approach through advanced diagnostics, in-depth analysis, and fully personalized care. Each treatment plan is tailored to support your body’s natural healing systems, especially in complex conditions like:
- Digestive Issues (IBS, Leaky Gut, Reflux etc.)
- Autoimmune Disorders (RA, Lupus, MS, UC etc.)
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Thyroid Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Inflammation
As a trusted functional medicine practitioner in Panama City, FL, Dr. Tony Salamay combines targeted nutrition, lifestyle therapy, and natural, non-invasive treatments to support you toward long-term wellness.
Whether from Panama City, Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola, Tallahassee, or across state lines, patients come seeking the same thing—lasting relief when nothing else has worked.

Why Choose Functional Medicine?
You’ve tried everything, medications, short-term diets, quick fixes but the symptoms always come back. Fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, pain… nothing seems to stick. You’re not just looking for relief anymore, you want answers.
That’s where functional medicine begins.
Instead of covering up symptoms, we look deeper to uncover what’s really causing your health issues. Whether it’s inflammation, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalance, or hidden stressors, functional medicine connects the dots and addresses the root cause.
This approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s designed around you, your history, lifestyle, genetics, and goals, so healing is not just possible, but sustainable.
