Naturopathic Medicine

Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years as one of the most ancient forms of medicine. Some herbs are so potent that their key ingredients have been synthesized into mainstream pharmaceuticals. The great advantage of whole plants is that they have been intricately designed by nature as balanced medicines that bring your body back into harmony. Botanical medicine is a safe and effective treatment for various diseases and dysfunctions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a very well established form of medicine that speaks primarily to a balance between organs. The diagnosis of disease is done through specific questioning and an evaluation of Chinese tongue and pulse. Acupuncture is a method of rebalancing your organ systems as well as directly treating disease. Physiologically, acupuncture stimulates natural endorphins, which leads to a decrease in pain. This therapy is very effective in the treatment of sports injuries, back pain and any sore muscles. We incorporate the use of traditional acupuncture with modern techniques in Intramuscular Stimulation to decrease pain, induce muscle relaxation and decrease stress.

Naturopathic Physicians have the unique ability to combine massage, fascial work, hydrotherapy, spinal assessment and manipulation techniques. The integration of all these treatments leads to successful pain reduction, management of injuries or simple stress reduction and personal care. Every muscle in the body works in balance with each other and synergistically with bones, cartilage and fascia. Proper diagnosis of physical injury requires the assessment and treatment of all these interconnected bits & pieces.

The backbone of good health is a solid emotional foundation. Naturopathic physicians are all trained in basic counseling skills, but our greatest service to you will be our willingness to listen. We will help you identify where your mental and emotional health require support and we will work with you to strengthen those areas, as well as refer you to the appropriate professionals as needed. Above all, the doctors at Arc Integrated Medicine will help you create a well-balanced life that integrates physical, mental and emotional health.
