What is NMT?

NMT is a therapy directed at correcting informational errors in the body's "software" system.  These "errors" contribute to any disease state imaginable from allergies to pain and autoimmune disease.  NMT rapidly corrects these errors allowing for the body to free itself of confusion.  Autoimmune disease is based on such confusion causing the patient's immune system to attack his/her own body tissues making any patient with diseases such as Lupus, Arthritis, Polymyalgia, Eczema, Asthma prime candidates for this therapy.  


What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is an injection technique consisting of dextrose and procaine contributing to growth and repair of damaged ligaments and tendons.  Chronic back pain, dislocating joints or any degree of instability tend to be good candidates for this treatment. 

What is Neural Therapy?

Neural therapy is an injection therapy directed at "rebooting" nervous system function in any tissue.  Scars, muscle tension points (called "trigger points") and reflex regions, acupuncture points all can be targets of neural therapy.  Procaine and homeopathic remedies are injected to improve energy flow and nervous system communication with target areas to restore normal function.  Tension headaches, painful scars and chronic muscle tension typically improve after few treatments of this therapy. 
 

How Does Detoxification work?

Detoxification work is a core treatment in Naturopathic philosophy.  In today's industrialized world no person is free of toxic exposure leaving them open to increased risk of hormone related problems and eventually cancer and heart disease.  Through the use of homeopathic drainage remedies, nutrition, and herbal medicine and long term strategy to reduce exposure and remove various toxins is employed with most patients. 

Naturopathic Diet Therapy

Diet is a fundamental cause of almost all disease.  Although diet alone does not treat disease, it is absolutely vital to recovery of any chronic condition.  Dietary advice includes the use of supplements, emphasizing organic whole food choices, avoiding fried or processed foods and food allergy avoidance.  Timing of what is eaten may also be changed to maximize benefit of food choices.  

Spinal Manipulative Therapy

Spinal manipulation is done often by the chiropractic profession but many people are unaware that this is also a core therapy performed by the naturopathic profession.  Structural stress can have a profound impact on physiology making it important to address if we are going to affect disease states in our patients.   

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is therapy used for thousands of years to balance "energy flow" throughout the body.  Research has now confirmed that acupuncture has a profound effect on the release of "feel good molecules" called endorphins.  Conditions responding to acupuncture are too numerous to list but often it is a vital therapy in stress management, addictions and chronic pain.  
 

Holistic care of a patient requires flexibility with the tools we use to address the patient where they need it most at the time of treatment.  Naturopathic care allows for this flexibility to allow for the best clinical outcomes possible in the management of chronic disease.
