Primary Care & Physical Exam

Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling
"Let food be your medicine and medicine
be your food!" —HIPPOCRATES
One of the safest and gentlest ways to effect optimal health can be to create a nutritious eating and moderate exercise plan that most benefits each individual's need and situation. Education in nutrition and lifestyle can improve weight management, assess for food sensitivities and allergies, strengthen the physical body in resistance against pathogens and generally be a solid guide toward prevention of disease.
Botanical Medicine
The use of plants as medicine is as old as the practice of medicine itself. Naturopathic medicine uses whole plants and isolated herbal constituents in a variety of forms, including tinctures, teas, supplements and topical preparations, to treat a variety of conditions.
Homeopathy
Working on the principle of "like cures like", homeopathy involves administrating very dilute doses of a substance with the intention of ridding a diseased person of a symptom picture that the substance would actually create in a healthy person in its original form. Homeopathy can be used for the treatment of very specific conditions or as a constitutional aid toward full body-mind and spirit health.
Mind-Body Care
Good vitality requires addressing both the physical and mental-emotional aspects of disease and dysfunction. As such, treatment may include the introduction of meditative or cognitive-behavioural techniques that can aid in maintaining healthy balance and reducing stress.
Hormonal Therapy
After a careful risk/benefit assessment, therapeutic doses of estrogen and progesterone can be a useful tool in managing symptoms of the menopause transition and maintaining long term bone and cardiovascular health.
Acupuncture
In Asian Medicine philosophy, the root of all vitality and energy is Qi. Disease results from the obstruction or deficiency of Qi flow throughout the body. In acupuncture, the insertion of thin solid needles into acupuncture points in the body can correct imbalances in the flow of Qi and lead to reduced pain, speedier healing and greater energy.
Reflexology and Acupressure Massage
Reflexology is a hands-on healing treatment that seeks to optimize whole body health by gentle massage on various reflex and pressure points on the foot. The goals of treatment are to improve blood circulation, to strengthen immunity, to promote relaxation, and to relieve pain.
