Naturopathic Services

During our first appointment with you a determination is made regarding programs, supplementation and/or testing that will be used in your naturopathic treatment. Complete the questionnaire here to get started.

Below is a partial listing of the services offered at our two clinics. Click on the link to find out more about that treatment or service.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
  • Would you like your face to look 10-15 years younger in 8 weeks without surgery?
  • Is that even possible?
  • Yes, it is!

With Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture it is possible to take years off your face in just 8 weeks! The power of acupuncture and a relaxing head and neck massage are your gateways to younger, firmer skin and a more sculpted facial appearance. Soothing music plays in the background during your treatment. And, for those who are serious about tapping into the fountain of youth and beauty, a food and supplement plan based on the latest research for a more youthful appearance is also yours.

Nutrition
There are many ways in which food can nurture and increase our level of health and by the same token there are many ways in which food can injure and decrease our level of health. In the quest for health, food can be our greatest ally or our worst enemy. Each patient’s current food choices are reviewed in detail and therapeutic changes are made in order to support the healing process and also to foster long-term health.

 

 

Supplements
Vitamins and therapeutic nutrients are always always kept to a minimum and are used whenever needed to optimally support the health goals of each patient.

 

Botanical Medicine
Herbs most often have a very reliable action, often comparable to pharmaceutical drugs with a couple major differences: gentle action and few to no side effects when used properly. In fact, the world of herbs is often considered to be Mother Nature’s pharmacy. There are hundreds of herbs for all different conditions and there are also thousands of different herbal combinations. If botanical medicine is a part of a patient’s protocol, the best herb or combination of herbs for each patient is selected.

 

Combination homeopathy
These are special homeopathic medicines where several different remedies have been combined to make one medicine, and each medicine has a specific task that it performs. These remedies not only help to alleviate symptoms, but they also help to strengthen the body and organs, so that once the remedies are discontinued, the benefits remain.

 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
TCM encompasses several things: diagnosis, diet and herbal treatment. It is mainly used for diagnosis and for fine-tuning a patient’s dietary protocol. TCM is absolutely invaluable in that it is able to explain every symptom that a person might experience. As you can imagine, this gives a great amount of insight into what is going on with an individual’s body and health at a rather deep level.
Focused Relaxation Techniques

We will go over a variety of focused relaxation techniques to determine which one is best for you. All focused relaxation protocols are derived from the Mind/Body training course at Harvard Medical School.

Time-permitting, a short practice session will take place in this visit as well in order to get you started.

 

Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA)
BIA testing provides a number of different measurements which are indicative of your overall state of health. By using these numbers as a baseline, your progress toward greater health can be monitored. The BIA is a body fat analyzer and analyzes body fat, lean body mass, fat weight, basal metabolic rate, body mass index, phase angle and hydration status broken down into intra-cellular water versus extra-cellular water. The BIA test is so much more than body weight – it is about how healthy your cells are overall.

 

Heart Rate Variability Testing
“I don’t think I’m stressed” or “I think I tend not to realize how stressed I actually am.” are two statements I hear frequently from patients.

Heart Rate Variability Testing is a scientifically proven way to determine if your system is in a stressed state or not.

By using a small device that measures your heart rate, either by clipping on to your earlobe or fingertip, your heart rate variability – and thus your stress level – can be determined.

 

Carroll Food Intolerance Testing
Food intolerances contribute to the overall stress load of our body by weakening and irritating the digestive system as well as contributing to food sensitivities. This is a simple, in-office blood test that is sent out. The results are returned in approximately one week.

 

Hair Analysis – Heavy Metals
Hair analysis is the simplest and safest way of testing overall body heavy metals. A sample of head hair is taken and sent for analysis.
