As we enter the 21st century, the landscape of medicine is changing
rapidly. The fragmented, mechanized world of medicine of the last century
is giving way to a new, unified, holistic approach for individuals seeking
optimal health.
Naturopathic doctors are the only licensed physicians clinically
trained in both traditional diagnostic medical sciences and a wide range of
comprehensive natural therapeutics.
The naturopathic doctor seeks to understand the imbalance that causes
your symptoms, correct the imbalance and thus help you restore a natural,
well-functioning state of health.
Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) use natural methods to restore health by
treating the underlying causes of illness rather than merely masking the
symptoms.

Classical Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine is a renaissance style of medicine embodying the
philosophy and practice of the world’s oldest intact system of
natural healing. Classical Chinese medicinal practices emphasize treatment
with herbal formulas, the application of acupuncture, moxibustion,
traditional bodywork techniques, dietary recommendations, and the practice
of therapeutic exercises. It is utilized in the treatment of chronic health
problems and diseases of which Western medicine may have no distinct
diagnosis or real cure.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles along acupuncture
points on the body. In most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is
performed without discomfort. All needles are sterile and disposable.
Acupuncture can treat a wide variety of health issues from the onset of
a common cold to pain, from digestive distress and respiratory disorders to
chronic headaches. The symptoms of menopause are alleviated by regular
acupuncture treatments as well as other common gynecologic problems. It is
a gentle supportive therapy for chronic disorders and can enhance your
mood.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is more than 200 years old, and is widely accepted in other
countries. It is concerned with the treatment of the whole person as an
individual rather than the disease alone. For this reason, people with the
same disease may often be treated with different medicines. Homeopathic
medicines act to strengthen the body’s innate immune responses. They
do not have adverse side effects. Some conditions that are resistant to
conventional medical treatment may respond well to homeopathy. Dr. Gary
Weiner is certified in homeopathy by the Homeopathic Academy of
Naturopathic Physicians.

Botanical Medicine
Many plant substances are effective natural medicines. They are
effective and safe when used properly, in the right doses and in proper
combination with other herbs or treatments. Recent medical research is
demonstrating that some plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in
certain clinical situations, and have fewer side effects. Naturopathic
doctors are trained in the art and science of botanical
medicine.

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork originating from Japan based upon the
energetic and healing principles of Oriental medicine and acupuncture.
Translated from the Japanese, Shiatsu literally means finger pressure upon
points on the body. Its primary purpose is to activate your natural healing
capacity, generating the even flow of energy throughout the entire body via
a system of channels called meridians.
Shiatsu is best for symptoms indicating diminished well-being and for
anyone interested in improving their energy and gaining more mastery over
their health. Shiatsu massage, while relieving acute symptoms, produces far
greater benefits such as increased body awareness; feeling rested and
energized, wholeness, clarity, and peace of mind.
Shiatsu can enhance the treatment of:
• Headaches (acute and chronic),
• Stress related
problems
• Insomnia or anxiety
• Menstrual disorders
• Tension and Pain
• Back Problems & Sciatica
• Fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
• Asthma.

Constitutional hydrotherapy treatments are a cornerstone of traditional
naturopathic care. Naturopathic medicine is a broad system of medicine
built upon simple and reliable principles. One of these principles holds
that proper circulation to internal organs and tissues is a necessity for
pain relief, optimal metabolic function, repair of damaged or infected
tissue, and general well-being.
Hydrotherapy is the use of alternating hot and cold water. It is one of
the oldest ways of improving circulation. Constitutional hydrotherapy is a
development of basic hydrotherapy and has been so named for its ability to
influence the entire physical constitution. As a special technique, it
significantly improves recovery from many illnesses while facilitating
enhanced energy, increased nutrition to the body, increased immunity, and
stimulation of the body’s own healing capacity. Constitutional
hydrotherapy may be useful in almost any condition; however, it has been
found particularly suited to particular health
concerns.
