Naturopathic medicine is an integrative approach to healing that emphasizes identifying the root cause of disease rather than merely treating symptoms. This involves focusing on the whole person and exploring nutrition, hydration, sleep, structural integrity, environmental exposures, and socioeconomic factors that all contribute to our health.  The goal is to use the most natural, least invasive methods as a first line of treatment whenever possible. Learn more.

Around for over 2,000 years, acupuncture is another therapy that focuses on the root cause of disease. While people may present with a similar manifestation in the body, each individual diagnosis is based on the unique constitution of that person according to traditional Chinese medicine. For instance, low back pain may be caused by physical trauma, overexertion, poor circulation, or even emotional upset. This leads to varied treatment for each individual presenting with low back pain depending on the root cause.

Generally, disease according to Chinese medicine involves an imbalance within the body that ultimately leads to health issues such chronic pain, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure, infertility, and disrupted sleep. Once identified, we work to restore harmony within the body using acupuncture needles or other methods such as cupping and Chinese massage. Learn more.
