Why Choose Naturopathic Gynecology?Gynecology is the branch of medicine that focuses on women's health, specifically reproductive issues. Some concerns that are commonly addressed by gynecological care include hormone imbalances, birth control, sexually transmitted infections, screening exams (such as a pap smear or clinical breast exam), vaginal itching, painful or heavy periods, and concerns of sexual function.Naturopathic gynecology places gynecological care into the larger context of whole-person medicine. As a woman, you deserve healthcare that not only addresses your gynecological needs but also treats you in the context of the whole, unique individual that you are. Your gynecology is a manifestation of your total health, and naturopathic gynecology reflects this in its integrative approach to the creation of treatment plans for gynecological problems. Naturopathic physicians provide most of the conventional women’s health services such as breast exams, pelvic exams, pap smears, blood work and biopsies. At the same time, they understand that a “one size fits all” approach often doesn’t work and seek to individualize treatment using the best natural medicines available, and pharmacological approaches when appropriate. At Pearl Natural Health we use an individualized approach in gynecological treatment and provide services in a safe, nurturing environment. By taking time to listen and learn about your overall health--physical symptoms as well as emotional concerns-- we are able to place reproductive health into the context of total health, or the health of the “whole person.” Pearl Natural Health offers safe and effective treatments for common conditions as PMS, menopausal difficulties, pelvic infections, fibrocystic breasts and more. These treatments may include supplements or bio-identical hormones, depending on individual needs. Dr. Courtney Jackson practices naturopathic gynecology at Pearl Natural health.
