Treatment Options
Naturopathic medicine is based on a holistic approach combining safe and effective traditional therapies along with modern scientific approaches. There are a wide range of therapeutic fields, including clinical nutrition, botanical (or herbal) medicines, IV nutrient therapy, mind body medicine, rejenerative injection therapies (prolotherapy and PRP), ozone therapy, physical medicine (activator method), hydrotherapy, homeopathy, and when necessary, prescription medications
Clinical Nutrition
“Let food be thy medicine” ~ Hippocrates
A cornerstone of naturopathic practice. Many medical conditions have their root cause in the foods we eat today and can be be treated more effectively with diet changes and nutritional supplements than by any other means with fewer complications and side effects.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine is a rich and vital part of Naturopathic Medicine. It is also one of the most ancient modalities embraced by Naturopathic Doctors. Plants have been used as medicine for thousands of years, being the foundation of traditional medicine across the world.
IV Nutrient Therapy
Intravenous nutrient therapy (a.k.a intravenous therapy, IV nutrition, or IV therapy) provides a direct route for nutrients to enter our system, providing results that may be faster than those of oral or other traditional medicines. Learn more here.
Mind Body Medicine
Mind body medicine focuses on the powerful influence that our thoughts and emotions have upon our physical health and our healing processes. Stress, poor habits, and insufficient management techniques can lead to health problems that cause premature aging and a wide variety of physical symptoms, from ulcers to decreased immune system responses.
Rejenerative Injections
Regenerative injection therapies help repair tendons and ligaments by encouraging healing and new, healthy tissue to form. Treatment with prolotherapy or platelet rich plasma is often used to treat joint and chronic pain, in addition to muscle injuries. Learn more here.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone works as a signal or messenger in the body to help upregulate healing, antioxidant formation, and mitochondrial function, and downregulate inflammatory signals. Learn more here.
Physical Medicine
The activator method is a gentle, non-forceful way of adjusting the skeleton. There is no twisting or turning as used with a conventional chiropractic HVLA adjustments (high velocity, low amplitude). The activator method uses a hand-held spring-loaded device to apply specific impacts as needed. Many chiropractors use and activator, but few are trained in the Activator Method.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the use of water to revitalize, maintain, and restore health. Hydrotherapy treatments include saunas, steam baths, foot baths, sitz baths, and the application of cold and hot water compresses.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicine is based on the principles of “like cures like” . It works on a subtle, yet powerful energetic level, gently acting to stimulate the body’s own innate healing response. Homeopathy is a system of medicine in which minute doses of specially-prepared natural substances are used to stimulate the innate healing capacity of the body.
Prescription Medications
While our aim is to always facilitate the body’s inherent self-healing mechanisms, and to use the minimally invasive treatment to alleviate your symptoms, we also recognize that pharmaceutical medicines may be a necessary step in the journey to health and wellness.
