Working Together
We understand that all healthcare issues are deeply personal, and we honor and value your opinion. Together we create a health and wellness plan to address your specific concern. Whatever issue you wish to address—stress reduction, pain management, cancer care or simply to improve your quality of life—our Integrative Medicine services will help you get started. Your health plan may include a variety of complementary therapies and natural remedies—such as nutrition counseling, lifestyle management, energy healing, acupuncture, herbal medicine, vitamin therapy, and medical massage—combining alternative medicine with conventional medicine to achieve optimal health benefits and results.
Natural Supplement Therapies
Prevention of disease and support of the body’s innate ability to heal using natural remedies that are safe and effective are the inherent philosophies of Naturopathic Medicine and Integrative Medicine at the Center. Our doctors personally evaluate and select supplements and vitamins that have earned the highest reputation for quality and efficacy and are a generally safer, gentler alternative to pharmaceuticals.
An essential component to safe and effective herbal therapy treatment is professional guidance. Our healthcare practitioners always take a complete medical history, are willing to communicate with your other doctors about your treatment plan, and explain to you the potential side effects and risks before trying a natural supplement therapy. Our doctors offer the full spectrum of diagnostic and laboratory testing to optimize their herbal and vitamin treatment plans and fully evaluate pharmaceuticals you may be taking and other herbal or vitamin therapies for possible interactions and side effects that may result.
