NATUROPATHIC TREATMENTS

We offer a variety of treatment options to serve the diverse needs of our patients. Whether you’re seeking a solution or management for a clinical condition, preventative health, or looking for natural anti-aging treatments, you will find it at Port Moody Health. After a comprehensive assessment, your naturopathic physician will recommend a personalized naturopathic or integrative treatment plan aimed at resolving the root cause or contributors to your health issues, in line with your preferences. Our multi-modal and whole-person approach to health care involves the use of evidence-based naturopathic therapies (some are listed below) combined with conventional therapies where indicated (such as physical medicine, pharmaceuticals or hormone therapies).

Naturopathic Treatments

PERSONALIZED CLINICAL NUTRITION

Naturopathic physicians are specially trained in the field of clinical nutrition, which involves the therapeutic use of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and food products. Using assessments based on patient history, physical examination, symptoms, diet and possibly laboratory data, nutrient deficiencies are identified and then treated in the appropriate manner.

Naturopathic Treatments

INTRAVENOUS NUTRIENT THERAPIES

Intravenous (I.V.) therapy and injection (intramuscular, subcutaneous) of vitamins, minerals and homeopathics is a safe and effective way to deliver nutrients in a timely and efficient manner.

Naturopathic Treatments

BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (BHRT)

Bio-identical hormones are identical in structure to the hormones made by your body. They are a safer and more natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement.

When natural levels of hormones (such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone and DHEA) decline, BHRT can be used to restore hormonal balance in men and women.

Naturopathic Treatments

NATURAL ALLERGY TREATMENT

Sublingual immunotherapy is the treatment of allergies via oral dosing (drops under the tongue) of small amounts of the allergen (the substance the individual is allergic to). It is currently offered for the treatment of airborne allergens eg: cat/dog dander, tree & grass pollen, dust mites, moulds. SLIT treatment is currently offered at many prestigious hospitals, such as John Hopkins.

Naturopathic Treatments

ACUPUNCTURE

Specific acupuncture points are carefully selected and stimulated in combination during a treatment session. Acupuncture points lie on energy channels (meridians) that are directly related to specific organs and physiological functions. Research has shown that acupuncture is an extremely effective approach to pain-management of various injuries and expedites the healing process. In addition, there has been extensive research documenting the effectiveness of acupuncture combined with various other treatments for infertility, as well as a number of other hormonal and physiological imbalances.

Naturopathic Treatments

PROLOTHERAPY

Prolotherapy is also known as non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction. It is an alternative to invasive surgical joint repair and/or joint replacement and is commonly used as a treatment for chronic pain. It is a simple and natural technique that stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself – the term “Prolo” is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak.

Naturopathic Treatments

CHELATION THERAPY

The word chelate is derived from the Greek word chele, which refers to the claw of a crab or lobster, implying a strong binding action by the chelating agent to another compound. Chelation therapy involves administering specific agents (orally or intravenously) to bind toxic compounds in the blood or tissues of the body.

Naturopathic Treatments

ANTI-AGING TREATMENTS

At Port Moody Health, we offer non-surgical solutions for facial and body rejuvenation. Whether it’s fine lines and wrinkles or fat and cellulite reduction, we have treatment options that are safe, effective and require no downtime.

Naturopathic Treatments

TRIGGER POINT INJECTION THERAPY

Trigger Point Injection Therapy was originally developed in Germany for the safe and effective treatment of a variety of health conditions and has been widely used in Europe since the 1940’s. In the treatment of pain, trigger point injections are used to release tense areas of muscle and fascia (often felt to the patient as deep “knot”), to restore the flow of blood, oxygen and nerve conduction in the local area and distant regions affected by the proximal trigger point.

Naturopathic Treatments

OZONE & HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Oxygen therapies (aka oxidative therapies) have been used for over 120 years. They first appeared in mainstream medical journals in 1888. Since that time, many countries around the world have integrated oxidative therapies into their mainstream medical practices as a safe, effective and widely applicable medical therapy that enhances the body’s innate healing powers.
