Acupuncture
Naturopathic Treatment
According to the mayo clinic, acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body.
Lifestyle Counseling
Naturopathic Treatment
Lifestyle counseling helps in the prevention and treatment of health conditions caused by poor diet, inactivity, tobacco use, excess alcohol consumption and stress. Emotional factors such as a lack of community support and negative thinking can also profoundly affect the development of disease. Therefore coaching, hypnosis and personal support are all available to help implement the necessary changes.
Botanical Medicine
Naturopathic Treatment
Herbal medicine, also known as phytotherapy, uses plants or extracts from plants to treat or prevent various health concerns. Plants have been used in medicine through much of human history and according to the World Health Organization, 80% of today’s population still use them as their source of medicine. As these remedies can work on the same biochemical pathways as medications, naturopathic doctors are thoroughly trained to ensure there will be no interactions.
Functional Medicine Testing
Naturopathic Treatment
Functional medicine testing assesses patterns of imbalance that have the potential to create chronic disease. Therefore, it seeks to optimize health and achieve peak performance. Through blood, saliva and/or urine testing, it is possible to identify and help treat problems long before symptoms of disease occur.
