Integro Health

Integro Health in Durham, NC operates under the clinical direction of Dr. Mark Luongo, providing integrated treatment protocols that combine chiropractic care with regenerative peptide therapies for patients experiencing chronic pain, metabolic dysfunction, and musculoskeletal injuries. The clinic's approach addresses underlying biomechanical imbalances while supporting tissue repair and systemic inflammation reduction through targeted peptide applications. Patients travel from throughout the Research Triangle region to access this combination of manual therapy and regenerative medicine under one clinical roof.

Integro Health offers a range of peptide therapy options tailored to individual patient needs. Treatment protocols are customized based on health goals, lab work, and medical history, with options for hormone optimization, metabolic health, tissue repair, and performance enhancement.

Dr. Mark Luongo brings a clinical perspective that merges traditional chiropractic principles with functional medicine interventions, having developed protocols that treat the musculoskeletal system while addressing systemic factors like inflammation, hormonal balance, and tissue repair capacity. His treatment philosophy recognizes that chronic pain often stems from multiple contributing factors—poor posture, previous injuries that never fully healed, metabolic dysfunction affecting tissue quality, and movement patterns that perpetuate strain. Patients receive hands-on spinal manipulation, soft tissue work, and corrective exercise prescription alongside peptide therapy cycles that typically run 8-12 weeks with ongoing monitoring. The clinic's approach particularly benefits individuals who have plateaued with conventional physical therapy or those seeking alternatives to long-term pain medication use.

Patients at Integro Health in Durham begin with in-person consultations that include postural analysis, range of motion testing, and discussion of previous treatment attempts and current limitations. Dr. Luongo's intake process identifies which tissues require regenerative support and which biomechanical patterns need correction, leading to combined protocols that might include twice-weekly adjustments during the initial phase alongside daily peptide injections that patients self-administer at home after in-office training. The clinic provides detailed injection technique instruction, peptide storage guidelines, and expects patients to maintain treatment logs tracking pain levels, energy changes, and functional improvements. Follow-up visits assess both structural changes through movement screens and subjective improvements in pain, sleep quality, exercise tolerance, and daily function. Many patients report increased energy and improved exercise recovery as secondary benefits beyond their primary pain complaints.

Integro Health requires in-person visits for initial assessment and periodic re-evaluation, making the clinic most accessible to residents of Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding North Carolina communities who can commit to the hands-on component of treatment. The clinic does not offer telehealth peptide consultations, as Dr. Luongo's protocols depend on physical examination findings and manual therapy integration. This model serves patients seeking a practitioner who can both adjust their spine and manage their regenerative medicine protocols within a single treatment relationship, eliminating the need to coordinate care between separate providers. The combination of immediate mechanical intervention through adjustments and longer-term tissue healing through peptides creates a treatment timeline where patients often notice structural improvements within weeks while cellular regeneration continues over months.
