Herbs have been used medicinally for thousands of years, and their power in supporting the body’s natural healing processes is as relevant today as ever. Hoffman’s *Medical Herbalism* is a trusted resource in understanding how to safely and effectively use plants to promote wellness. As a naturopath, we rely on herbal medicine to address various health concerns, from inflammation to digestive issues, hormone balance, and stress support.

Herbs like ashwagandha, turmeric, and milk thistle offer specific benefits for the nervous system, liver function, and overall vitality. One of the key aspects of herbal medicine is its gentle approach, working in harmony with the body rather than overpowering it. However, safety is always a priority. Understanding herb-drug interactions, dosage, and individual needs is crucial to ensure that the use of herbs is both effective and safe.

Incorporating herbal remedies into your lifestyle can provide long-term health benefits when used properly and guided by knowledge and science. Whether you’re looking for preventive care or seeking support for an existing condition, medicinal herbs are a valuable tool in the naturopathic toolkit.

Physiotherapist use careful assessment to help figure out what may be going on. Whether you have pain, limitations or are following surgery or injury, physiotherapists can help.

Assessments at our clinic are about an hour long. About half of that time will be in assessment where they will test your range of motion, your strength and pattern movement and patterns. There is a lot of specificity to this part based on what brings you into the clinic.

During the initial appointment, they also try to give you some time for treatment. Treatment can vary depending on while you’re here. It will usually involve some combination of manual therapy, exercise, education and possibly the use of therapeutic modalities such a Shockwave or ultrasound.

We help a lot of patients with autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Sjogren’s disease, lupus, and more.

The concept with autoimmune disease is that there is an imbalance of a certain type of immune cell called T cells.

The goal in managing auto immune disease is ultimately to help rebalance the T cells within our body. This is the common mechanism of a lot of the traditional meds we use such as prednisone.

There are many things we do to manage autoimmune disease, including managing the T cells, managing gut health, working with hormones and addressing the environmental aspects of disease.

Questions about autoimmune disease talk to one of our Naturopaths. .derika.nd

Managing pain can be complicated and intimidating for some patients. At certain points you’ll have to go though movements, exercises or treatments that you may register as painful. But it’s important to distinguish between hurt and harm.

If something “hurts” it may okay as long as it’s within a certain limit. We never want to push too hard to harm or inhibit your healing process.

One complication of chronic pain is central sensitization, where your brain registers pain when it shouldn’t. We need to essentially show your brain that something it’s seeing as pain actually isn’t harmful and therefore not warranting of that painful stimuli.

Having back issues? We have the team for you.

From physiotherapy to chiropractic to massage therapy to osteopathic manual techniques to naturopaths to acupuncture, there are many evidenced based treatments offered at the clinic.

Whether it’s acute (new or recent onset) or chronic (long term) back pain, disc issues, muscle spasm, sciatic pains, whatever it may be, we can help!

Book an initial assessment or even a free meet and greet today!
