Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that emphasizes prevention and supporting the boy’s innate healing abilities  through the use of natural therapies.  Naturopathic diagnosis focuses on identifying the underlying causes of disease, using thorough intake and review of health concerns, modern diagnostic tools and physical exam.  Naturopathic treatment modalities used in our practice are homeopathy, clinical nutrition and botanical medicine. . The practice and use of these modalities in naturopathic medicine integrates a scientific approach, conventional diagnostic tools, and threads from its lineage in nature cure.

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with documented use dating back over 2,000 years in ancient China. It involves the precise insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific anatomical points on the body, known as acupoints. This technique is used to modulate the body's physiological functions by influencing the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Acupuncture is commonly integrated into modern medical practice as a complementary therapy , however it is in its own right a rich beautiful  whole system of medicine.  We commonly treat   pain, inflammation, stress-related disorders, neurological and endocrine disorders.

Moxibustion is a traditional healing technique that predates acupuncture needles in ancient China, with a history spanning thousands of years. It involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near or directly on the skin to stimulate circulation, warm the body, and promote healing. In Japanese acupuncture, moxibustion remains an essential therapy with several distinct styles: thread moxa (okyu), where thin threads of moxa are burned on specific points; chinetsukyu, which uses small, hand-rolled moxa cones burned directly on the skin for focused heat; and kyutoshin, a precise technique applying moxa cones on needle handles to enhance treatment effects. These methods are valued for improving energy flow, supporting immune function, and balancing the body’s internal systems.

Maya Abdominal Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive manual therapy rooted in the traditional healing practices of the Maya people of Central America. This technique focuses on the proper alignment and function of the abdominal and pelvic organs by using external massage to support circulation, nerve supply, and lymphatic flow. It is commonly used to address reproductive, digestive, and urinary conditions, as well as pelvic pain and postural imbalances. Developed and popularized by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, who studied with traditional Maya healer Don Elijio Panti, this therapy integrates ancient wisdom with a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology. Maya Abdominal Therapy is especially valued for its holistic support of women's health throughout the reproductive lifecycle.

Cupping is an ancient healing technique used across many cultures, including Traditional Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Greek medicine. It involves applying suction to the skin using specialized cups to stimulate circulation, ease muscle tension, and support the body's natural healing response. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping is traditionally used to move qi and blood, release stagnation, and expel wind or dampness—making it useful for conditions such as muscle pain, colds, coughs, asthma, and digestive issues. Today, it remains a popular integrative therapy for pain relief, sports recovery, and stress-related tension.

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of low-level light to stimulate cellular healing and reduce inflammation. It supports tissue repair, alleviates pain, and accelerates recovery from injuries and chronic conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle strains.
