Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine

In the past 30 years, we’ve seen an increase in consumer demand for safe, effective, and affordable healthcare. Research on healthcare trends show that people desire a less invasive, more natural approach to health. Patients want the time and the space to discuss their individual needs and goals during an appointment with their doctor. Collaboration between practitioner and patient is essential to this new model of healthcare, and naturopathic medicine has emerged as the healthcare system best suited to meet the demands of the modern patient.

Naturopathic medicine is different than conventional medicine in that it always looks to treat the underlying cause of imbalance. For instance, within the conventional medical model, pharmaceuticals are designed to control symptoms. Diuretics may be given for hypertension, or statins for high cholesterol. These medications are, without a doubt, immensely valuable. They can save lives, and they serve an important purpose in modern healthcare. However, though taking a pill can lesson a symptom, the underlying issue that caused the symptom is often left unaddressed. When symptoms are covered up with medication the condition is simply masked and the body’s cry for help is ignored. Over time this can cause symptoms of imbalance in other areas of the body.

Naturopathic doctors understand that symptoms can be uncomfortable, and in worse case scenarios, life threatening. Naturopathic doctors are versed in the appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body’s innate healing response – they are fully able to provide palliative support to ensure a safe and comfortable journey to greater health.

Put simply, what sets naturopathy apart is that the practitioner is always looking to take health beyond symptom management.  At Wildwood, naturopathic doctors will consider all factors that influence health, including mind, body, spirit, and community. When needed, she can order and interpret screening blood work and specialized tests. With her expansive knowledge of clinical nutrition, Chinese or Western botanicals, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle counseling, naturopathic doctors will help you reach and sustain your personal health goals.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art with modern applications.

Acupuncture has been practiced for over 2,000 years under the philosophy that all disease stems from an “imbalance of energy.” An imbalance of energy is simply another way to describe disruption of equilibrium. Factors such as stress, poor nutrition, poor sleep, weather, genetics, infections, environmental toxins, lack of community, and trauma can disrupt this equilibrium. Though acupuncture is best known for pain relief, the focus of a treatment always includes overall well-being.

Using sterile, stainless steel needles, acupuncture is one way to regulate imbalance. When the body functions correctly, symptoms improve and an overall sense of wellness results. The experience of acupuncture should be pleasant; the majority of patients fall asleep once the points are placed. In other words, it doesn’t hurt!

Acupuncture is one of the most studied forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and can play an important role in a comprehensive approach to health and healing. Many high-quality randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) have proven acupuncture’s effectiveness for many common conditions, including back pain, menopausal hot flashes, migraine, tension-type headache, chronic daily headache, infertility, and labor induction.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy at Wildwood is focused on manual therapy, proper postural alignment and enhancement of overall function of the body.

A common complaint of conventional physical therapy is that treatment focuses only on the injured part and ignores the whole person. At Wildwood, we understand that each person is unique and that treatment must involve the whole person.

Our focus is not only on resolving imbalance but understanding how we can prevent its recurrence.  Our patients learn how they can enhance function, eliminate pain, and help the body to become stronger naturally.

Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture

A gentle, effective, and safe way to combat the signs of aging and erase years from your face without the risk or recovery time of surgery or injections. 

Acupuncture offers many benefits to those who want to naturally, revitalize the look and feel of their skin. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates blood flow with no risk of scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals. 

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is much more than a cosmetic procedure. 

Acupuncture changes the energy flow within the body and initiates the process for constitutional rejuvenation. If energy is not flowing freely throughout your body then your organs, muscles, and lymphatic cannot function properly, which can contribute to puffiness, bags and premature aging.

Acupuncture facial rejuvenation is not just for wrinkles, sagging skin and dark spots. As a part of an overall program of skin health for individuals of any age, you can have treatments much in the same way you would get a facial. The difference being that an Acupuncturist specially trained in facial rejuvenation acupuncture can diagnose imbalances in your Chinese organs such as your liver which may cause melasma or dark spots, in your kidneys which can result in dark circles or premature aging, your large intestine or lungs which can contribute to acne or your spleen which can contribute greatly to sagging and or puffiness.

Prices:
– Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture –  single session is $275; Treatment package of 6 sessions: $1350.
Each session is 75 minutes and is meant to be weekly for 6 weeks.
– Microneedling / Facial Restore Acupuncture –  a single session: $350;  Treatment package of 4 sessions: $1200
Each session is 75 minutes.
– Additional Package:
