Get to know Internist & Chiropractor Dr. Michael Ambrose, who serves patients in Edwardsville, Illinois.

A trusted internist and chiropractor, Dr. Ambrose is the Founder and visionary behind Performance Medical Clinic, which specializes in various areas of healthcare, including internal medicine, hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, pain management, and integrative medicine.

Born and raised in the Metro East area of Illinois, he started his career as a chiropractor after graduating from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis. After two years of practicing as a chiropractor, he realized that he wanted to expand his scope of practice and decided to go back to medical school. He received his medical degree and completed his residency in internal medicine at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

Upon completing his residency, Dr. Ambrose entered practice as an internist but felt that something was missing in the healthcare system. He believed that a more holistic, integrative approach was necessary to address his patient’s concerns, and this led him to receive additional training.

Subsequently, he received specialized training in Peptide Therapy, and is certified by the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and the Metabolic Medical Institute. He is also highly trained in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell procedures, and has received certification in the “O” shot, Priapus shot, hair restoration, and Vampire facelift.

Distinguished as a Fellow in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, the doctor is board-certified by both the American Board of Internal Medicine and the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He is also an active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicinem and has received specialized training with the Age Management Medicine Group and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in Internal Medicine are called Internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

On a more personal note, Dr. Ambrose’s mission in life is to make his patients feel better and help them live happier, healthier lives. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and four children and can often be found deer hunting in the woods.
