 A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is a highly trained primary healthcare provider that aims to treat eht root cause of disease. NDs often work with other practitioners to provide the patient with optimal care. Naturopathic Medicine provides a comprehensive approach to treating illness and improving overall wellness. With a strong focus on preventative medicine for the whole family, naturopathy treats a wide variety of health concerns. Naturopathic treatments can either be used alone or as a complement to conventional medicine. The goal of Naturopathic Medicins is to meet the individualized concerns of each patient, and to treat the human body as a whole. Treatment may incorporate the following therapies:
 Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling - Creating an individualized diet & exercise plan to meet your medical needs. Herbal Medicine - The use of plant-based extracts as liquid or encapsulated formulas. Herbs have a pharmacological action similar to drugs, but act more synergistically with the body. Hydrotherapy - The use of heat & cold to stimulate the body's ability to heal. Intravenous Therapy - The injection of vitamins & minerals into the body to optimize health, from the common cold to cancer. Physical Medicine - The use of ultrasound waves & therapeutic electrostimulation to facilitate soft tissue healing. These devices are used in combination with acupuncture, manual bodywork, and manipulation.  Acupuncture - The use of very fine acupuncture needles to stimulate healing from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective. Acupuncture may be used for weight management, smoking cessation, infertility, musculoskeletal injuries, and many more conditions. Cosmetic Acupuncture - Both Jill Shainhouse ND & Moira Kwok ND are certified in Cosmetic Acupuncture, also known as the "Non-Surgical Face Lift".
