New Heights Massage Therapy Inc Clinic: Now offering Naturopathic Care

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine combines modern, evidence-informed healthcare with traditional approaches to natural medicine. Symptoms are viewed as indicators of underlying imbalances and help guide the assessment process as we work to identify the root cause of health concerns. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, naturopathic medicine supports the body’s innate ability to heal and maintain balance to create a foundation for long-term health and wellness. 

​

A naturopathic visit involves a comprehensive health assessment, including a detailed medical history, physical examinations, and laboratory testing when appropriate. This thorough evaluation allows our naturopathic doctor to develop individualized treatment plans for each patient's unique needs and health goals.

​

Treatments may include a combination of lifestyle and nutritional counselling, botanical (herbal) medicine, acupuncture, supplementation, pharmaceuticals, and other integrated therapeutic approaches. Our naturopathic doctor works collaboratively with patients to empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to take an active role in their health, with an emphasis on disease prevention, optimizing overall wellness, and supporting long-term health outcomes.

Treatment plans may include lifestyle counselling, nutrition, botanical medicine, supplementation, IV/IM therapy, and pharmaceuticals when indicated.
