Urgent care at AfterOurs
For new or worsening, non-emergency illnesses and injuries that need timely evaluation. A clinician can assess symptoms, offer treatment and testing when appropriate, and recommend follow-up based on what they find.
AfterOurs care guide · Spire Health Pathways
Functional medicine.
Care over time.
Some concerns need attention today. Others benefit from planned follow-up over time. AfterOurs provides urgent care; Spire Health Pathways offers a functional medicine approach to longitudinal care for persistent or recurring concerns.
This overview is hosted by AfterOurs. Spire links open the public Spire website; they do not book a visit or send a referral.
Different needs, different visits
Choose care for what you need now
Urgent care and ongoing care can complement each other. Neither replaces emergency care.
Longitudinal care at Spire
For exploring a planned approach to concerns that persist or recur. Functional medicine considers medical history, daily habits and symptoms together, with follow-up to review progress. Ask Spire whether its services fit your needs and how care can be coordinated with your regular clinician.
Selected examples
When a longer-term conversation may help
These are examples for non-emergency follow-up, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for a particular test or treatment. New, severe or rapidly worsening symptoms need prompt medical assessment.
Recurring headaches
For headaches that keep returning, a planned follow-up can review patterns, medications, sleep and other possible contributors alongside your usual care.
Ongoing blood pressure care
Blood pressure management often needs repeat measurements, medication review and ongoing support for daily habits with your regular clinician.
Questions to ask before starting ongoing care
Evidence varies across tests and treatments offered under functional medicine. Decisions should reflect your medical history, clinical usefulness, potential benefits and risks. No approach can guarantee an outcome.
What is the plan?
Ask what a proposed test or treatment would change, what evidence supports it, and what alternatives are available.
How will care stay connected?
Discuss medications, supplements and other clinicians involved in your care. Do not stop prescribed treatment without speaking with your clinician.
What should I expect?
Ask Spire about visit format, follow-up, costs and coverage before scheduling. Agree on how progress and side effects will be reviewed.
These are examples, not a complete list. Do not delay emergency evaluation to arrange a functional medicine visit. This guide is general information, not individualized medical advice.
