Additionally, IV nutrition therapy, nutrition counseling, health coaching and group classes offered in our teaching kitchen are geared to really assist in executing plans providers recommend to make health goals achievable and sustainable.
Functional Medicine
Our team of collaborative providers will help you get to the root cause of your chronic conditions. We treat the whole patient, mental, emotional and physical, and believe the best path to healing is to ask, "why are you ill?" Functional medicine providers spend time listening to your history, gathering information through in depth testing, and identifying triggers to your illness. Once triggers are identified, such as poor nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, genetics or your microbiome, we partner with you to determine a personalized treatment plan.
Women’s Health
Services include yearly gynecological and breast exams and bioidentical hormone therapy for both men and women. We support women's complex needs from adolescence through menopause, utilizing natural modalities whenever possible to support hormone balance. We also offer non- hormonal treatment for vaginal dryness, laxity, and urinary incontinence with the use of Votiva, a vaginal rejuvenation radio frequency thermal treatment.
IV Therapy
Chronic stress and health conditions, environmental pollutants and nutrient depleted foods make it difficult to get the vitamins and minerals we need. IV nutritional therapy can fill this gap and be an important tool for promoting health by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. IV Vitamin infusions can support the immune system when ill, provide hydration, and promote detoxification as part of a treatment plan. Treatments typically last 1-2 hours provided in our IV suite in comfortable reclining chairs.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage is increasingly being offered along with standard treatments for a wide range of medical conditions. Benefits include: improved circulation, decreased muscle stiffness, decreased joint inflammation, better sleep quality, improved flexibility, less pain and soreness, more energy, lower stress levels and improved mood.
Energy Medicine
Energy is found within the human field surrounding the body as well as within the body. Energy medicine is a healing modality that begins with listening to the body with trained hands. Modalities may include Visceral manipulation, Neural Manipulation, Hands on Healing, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, and Reconnective Healing. The outcome of this work is a feeling of calm, well-being, and balance of the mind, body, spirit and emotions.
Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic medicine doctors (D.O.'s) see the body as an interrelated unit of systems working together to heal illness and promote health. D.O.'s bring a whole-person approach to medicine looking beyond symptoms to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors impact well-being. We use our hands for both diagnosis and treatment. Osteopathic manipulation can treat many common musculoskeletal conditions in addition to helping balance the autonomic nervous system. Osteopathic techniques we offer include Biodynamics, Counterstrain, Muscle energy, Myofascial release, Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine, Visceral therapy, and many more. Treatments are usually gentle and relaxing.
Nutrition
Nutrition is the foundation of functional medicine. We consider every aspect of one's health, diet, and overall lifestyle when giving nutrition recommendations. Our team includes a registered dietician, health coaches and functional medicine trained providers all working together to customize food plans and programs to our patient's unique health needs. Nutrition recommendations can be conflicting and confusing. Our goal is to simplify this and help our patients learn how food influences their health. Our teaching kitchen provides a communal space to gather and learn.
Health Coaching
Health Coaches partner with patients to bridge the gap between what a patient learns they need to do from clinicians, and deciding how they will do it. Health coaches are guides on the side who specialize in habit and behavior change specifically to empower healthy living. Our health coaches approach sessions with curiosity and compassion as they support our patients with goal setting and accountability, celebrating progress, and engaging in care coordination with our clinical team.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment that uses very thin needles inserted into the skin to stimulate specific energy points in the body. Treatments have been proven to be effective through numerous evidence-based research studies. Acupuncture can be an effective complementary modality to help treat many health conditions. Benefits include reduced pain, promotion of natural healing, and support of physical and emotional well-being. We offer this service for one-on-one sessions and in a community acupuncture setting.

Results of this 30 minute test will detect stiffening of the arteries, presence of hard or soft plaque, imbalance of the nervous system, physical stress, and irregular heart beats. Using these comprehensive results along with your blood work, we will formulate a treatment plan to address any cardiovascular risks to do our best to decrease your chances of a heart attack, stroke, or other circulatory disorder.

This identifies opportunities to improve function and restore balance in affected regions of the brain by neurofeedback and proper supplementation.
