Take a natural approach to addressing your health concerns. When you book a comprehensive naturopathic consultation we will help get to the root cause of your health concerns. During your consultation we will go over your complete medical history, dietary habits and overall lifestyle including your mood, energy levels, alcohol intake as well as caffeine and water consumption. We will go into an in-depth analysis of your physical well-being and discuss any symptoms that may be bothersome. In addition to reviewing any complaints that you may have, we will also do a complete physical exam and monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and more. We can also request blood work if necessary. Once our initial analysis is complete we will develop an individualized treatment plan to help you get your health back on track.
Naturopathic Medicine can help with a variety of health concerns such as:
IV Therapy and Vitamin injections are great for treating:
Damage to your body’s tendons and ligaments can result in chronic pain and permanent disability. Many tendon and ligament injuries are difficult if not impossible to heal and recover from. Treatments such as steroid injections can temporarily relieve pain, but unfortunately these treatments can cause injuries to be aggravated in the long run. Prolotherapy is the process of injecting Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into damaged tissues to help promote the body’s healing of these tissues. Platelets are cells that when injected into damaged tissue attract other cells, which then help encourage the growth of new blood vessels and proteins that in turn repair damaged tendons and ligaments.
Prolotherapy and PRP are best used to treat:
Food sensitivities and allergies can be extremely frustrating to live with and continue to treat. Food allergies occur when your body’s immune system reacts negatively to certain foods. This is typically an immediate immune response that results in hives, swelling, itching and in extreme cases, anaphylaxis. Other reactions to food can be more delayed and mild, causing symptoms such as inflammation, gas, diarrhea or constipation. These reactions are typical of food intolerances versus true allergies. Whether you suffer from food allergies or intolerances, both can be a nuisance and impact your day to day life. We can order a blood test called immunoglobulin G to help identify which food intolerances and allergies you may be affected by. Once we have your results we can help educate you on different dietary changes that you can make to help prevent distress due to your allergies.
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles into the skin at strategic points on your body. Once inserted the needles can be activated through movements of the practitioners hands or via electrical stimulation. Despite having needles inserted into your skin, most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. Acupuncture is designed to stimulate the central nervous system, releasing chemicals into the body to help promote both physical and emotional healing.
Acupuncture is believed to assist with the following:
Battling cancer can come with many unfortunate side effects, both from the illness and the treatments. We offer a broad spectrum of therapy options to help support your oncology care. Integrative cancer treatment includes targeted supplementation and nutritional support, immune system support, injection therapies, IV therapies and more.

Naturopathic medicine focuses on supporting and stimulating your body in order to promote its ability to heal from within. Our goal is to find the root cause of your ailments and illnesses so we can help you heal instead of masking or suppressing symptoms.
In order to support you on your naturopathic medicine journey, we can order standard and specialized testing from LifeLabs as well as hormone tests, food sensitivity blood work, toxin screening such as heavy metals, microbiome testing and more.
