Our Care Options

​Some people with little or no experience with natural health care want to know what could be involved in starting care before their first visit. Most of our patients start with a consultation that covers their health history, current health issues and symptoms and health goals. This is followed by a thorough examination with a health professional (or several health professionals) who can best help you get rid of your symptoms and reach your health goals, and discussing your personal results.

A general rule is SIMPLE versus COMPLEX Health issues:

• If your health issues are simple, your care options are simple, less frequent and shorter duration.
• If your health issues are complex, often your care options are more frequent and longer duration.

If you have symptoms, you may have different healthy goals to get rid of these symptoms:

• Get out of pain as fast as possible and the least amount of time
• Get rid of symptoms that fits into a budget or spend the least amount of money
• Get feeling better and prevention of future relapses and symptoms worsening over time
• Feel great and reach my peak performance

Brief Overview of Services

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine and acupuncture have been used for thousands of years because of the effectiveness of the treatment. The contemporary acupuncturist uses many therapies, only some of which use sterile, tiny, single-use needles.

Many people see an acupuncturist for pain relief from many causes, for chronic and acute issues. Many people see our acupuncturist for fertility, digestive issues, migraines and concussions and more.

Chiropractic & Rehabilitation​

Chiropractic care is ideal for patients who wish to treat the cause of their pain in a safe and natural way. Chiropractic does not rely on the use of drugs to treat the symptoms of an issue, but rather, the treatment focuses on the source of the issue. While chiropractic care focuses on the nervous, muscle and skeletal systems of the body, chiropractic can treat not only back and neck pain, but is also treatment for other ailments such as allergies, PMS, headaches, and more.

Nutrition & Permanent Weight Loss

Healthy Nutrition and Permanent Weight Loss are what many people struggle with. What is healthy for to eat and how to lose weight safely, and permanently are two questions we can help you answer.

Our unique programs are not a diet or an exercise program. In fact, we strongly suggest that anyone wanting to lose weight never go on another diet.
