Naturopathic Medicine PDF Print E-mail

Naturopathic doctors are health care practitioners whose primary purpose is disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention through individualized treatment programs and patient education.

Naturopathic doctors are health-care professionals who use safe, gentle, non-invasive therapies that support and promote the body's natural healing process while identifying the root cause of disease.  Naturopathic treatments can complement conventional medical treatments or can be used effectively on their own.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that addresses the root causes of illness, and promotes health and healing using natural therapies.  Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are highly educated primary care providers who integrate standard medical diagnostics with a broad range of natural therapies.  Using the following five principles as their guidelines, Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine assess cases and provide recommendations.

1. First do no harm
2. To co-operate with the healing powers of nature
3. To address the fundamental cause of disease
4. To heal the whole person through individualized treatment
5. To teach the principles of healthy living and preventable medicine
 

Natural modalities include Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, botanical medicine, homeopathy, nutritional counseling, lifestyle counseling, hydrotherapy and gentle physical therapies including Bowen Therapy and Cranio-sacral Therapy.

Massage Therapy PDF Print E-mail

Massage Therapy is a general term covering a variety of disciplines for the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes - Swedish, Shiatsu, trigger point, neuromuscular - with roots in both Eastern and Western cultures.  Massage improves the function of the body's connective tissues and/or muscles.  Among conditions alleviated by massage are whiplash, low back and neck pain, and degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.  It involves the practice of kneading or otherwise manipulating muscles or other soft tissue with the intent of increasing circulation and detoxification, reducing physical and emotional stress and increasing general wellness.

Whether you seek to maintain your good health or treat specific symptoms, massage therapy can help.  Because each session is tailored accoring to your needs, it is an appropriate therapy for all ages and conditions.

CranialSacral Therapy combines gentle hands-on bodywork with meditative use of the inner eye and inner ear.  This method draws from traditions such as osteopathy, energy work and Taoism and relies on not only technical excellence, but on a high degree of instinct and intuition.  This therapy evaluates and enhances the Craniosacral System - the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord.  Craniocacral Therapy is an effective preventative health measure and bolsters resistance to disease.

LOMI - Ancient Hawaiian Temple Bodywork, is a healing ritual based on the initiation rites developed and practiced in the temples of ancient Hawaii.  Steeped in ancient spiritual traditions preserved from generation to generation, Lomi is the ultimate holistic approach to healing, effecting change on all energy levels: Physical healing, Emotional Release, Mental clarity, Reconnection with spirit.  Lomi combines the use of prayer (pule), breath (ha) and energy (mana) with a variety of massage-like strokes in a rhythmic, almost dance-like movement.  Lomi embraces the principle that the body is a highly energized thought form.  Everything that happens to us in our lifestime is registered in our body's cells as vibrational energy - if you change thses energy patterns in the physical body, the emotional, psychological and spiritual patterns are easier to access and align.

Physiotherapy PDF Print E-mail

Physiotherapy may include both land and water sessions to provide you with the best opportunity to reach your goals.  We provide a complete assessment of your health to assist us in being pro-active with respect to potential injuries you may face due to your illness, injuries, sport or work activities.

Our Registered Physiotherapist provides a comprehensive assessment of your movement and injury, which ensures that your treatment is designed just for you.  Exercises and other modalities (Ultrasound, Muscle Stim, and IFC) may be included in your treatment.

Our therapists offer:

1) Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning.  This is done by inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate precise anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposed.  Along with the usual method of puncturing skin with the fine needles, heat, pressure, friction or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the points may also be used to stimulate the points.  The acupoints are stimulated to balance the movement of energy (qi) in the body to restore health.   

2) Active Release Technique (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.  These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

3) Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM): Each tissue in the body has individualized frequencies. The individualized and specific vibrational characteristic of each atom, of each tissue type, varies even more specifically for varying conditions, such as: trauma, inflammation, stress, environmental influences, etc. To put the theory of vibrations in a better overall perspective: different vibrations / frequencies of sound, light, radio waves, etc., are responsible for notes of music, colors of light, and radio stations. Vibrations are specific and unique for all matter, inorganic and organic.  When an injury occurs to a tissue, the electrons in the affected tissue take on a different vibrational characteristic, unique to that injury or other abnormal condition. As the vibrations of the electrons change, it is believed the electrons concurrently may also change to a different "orbit" from what was normal for that tissue type.

4) Exercise Therapy uses a variety of equipment (resistance bands, weights, towels, fitness balls, etc.) a program will be designed to specifically meet your goals and address any injuries.  Exercises for Strength, Flexibility, Balance and Agility will be included.

5) Aquatic Therapy using our state-of-the-art Hydrotrack Water Treadmill to increase your strength, flexibillity, range of motion and overall health.  Our "one-person pool" allows us to control all aspects of your therapy or exercise.  This is especially beneficial for people recovering from surgery or has a fear of water.
