Healthcare Disciplines

Welcome to the Center for Natural Medicine, Inc.! We are looking forward to assisting you in accomplishing your goals in health and wellness. Our goal is to promote optimal health while preventing and reversing disease. We have an array of alternative health practitioners available to you, all of who are dedicated to that same goal.

Naturopathic Medicine
What is Naturopathy?

Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages. From another perspective, there are six main principles inherent in naturopathic practice:

Primum Non Nocere: First Do No Harm
Docere: Doctor As Teacher
Vis Medicatrix Naturae: The Healing Power of Nature
Treat the Whole Person
Tolle Causam: Identify and Treat the Causes
Prevention

Naturopathic physicians (N.D.) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery.

The Center for Natural Medicine offers naturopathic physicians who specialize in cardiovascular and pulmonary care, endocrine dysfunction and women’s health in addition to treating a broad spectrum of other health conditions. Many insurance plans provide naturopathic coverage. Our reception team will assist you in verifying your insurance coverage. All of our providers offer 15-minute free consultations as an opportunity for you to discover how they are able to assist you in reaching better health. Also ask about our discounted Heart and Lung Wellness student rotation.

Chiropractic Medicine
What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which considers the individual as an integrated being and gives special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships. Doctors of Chiropractic base their practices and procedures on the academic and clinical training received in chiropractic college and include the use of current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Such procedures specifically include the adjustment and manipulation of the articulations and adjacent tissues of the human body, particularly of the spinal column. Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not include pharmaceuticals.

The Center for Natural Medicine is pleased to have an outstanding team of chiropractic physicians, with a combined experience of over 24 years. They are experienced in treating personal and work-related injuries, headaches, back/neck pain, whiplash, TMJ, and more. Each provider accepts a variety of insurance plans, and we would be happy to assist you in verifying your coverage. For your convenience, many evening and weekend hours are offered. Each doctor offers 15-minute free consultations for you to discover how chiropractic care can be beneficial to your health.

Acupuncture
What is acupuncture?

HealthQuest
Massage and Spa

Surrender the myth that massage is just a form of pampering. Regular massage is maintenance for the body; it is a key piece in overall health and wellness and can assist in treatment of many musculo-skeletal disorders. Our exceptional licensed massage providers will spoil you, making health care relaxing and fun! Appointment times are available throughout the day, evening and weekend.

While you are at HealthQuest, located on the second floor above the Center for Natural Medicine, enjoy a relaxing steam, jacuzzi tub or detox body wrap. Finish off these health conscience activities with some REAL pampering and let our estheticians beautify you with facials, manicures, pedicures and waxing services. Spa hours are available afternoons, evenings and weekends, (daytime hours by appointment). Gift certificates are available for those who want to “Share the Health!” For more information on our spa packages visit click here.

Wellness through Nutrition, Exercise & Stress Management

We believe diet is a very important aspect of one’s overall health. Diet does not just imply weight loss. Your food intake can affect inflammatory conditions such as arthritis; can be used to aid in reducing symptoms from PMS; and can help reduce fatigue just to name a few. Our naturopathic providers often utilize nutritional counseling and/or liver detoxification (including periodic detox classes) as part of their treatment plans. Wellness programs involving diet, exercise and stress management are both popular and affordable. Our chiropractor, Dr. Kelly Barrett, is a dietician and is available for nutritional counseling and weight loss consulting.

The Center for Natural Medicine, Inc. utilizes a weight loss system called Ultra-Lite. The Ultra-Lite program originates in Australia where over 200,000 participants have benefited. It is a measured and controlled ketogenic diet including supplementation and is showing great success here in the USA. If you have any questions, please call to set up a free 15-minute consultation.

Mail Order and Online Dispensary

The Center for Natural Medicine Dispensary is a great bonus for patients. Our providers are able to choose the supplements they use the most, the best researched and quality tested products, and can offer them to you. In addition, you are able to order on-line at cnm-inc.com or naturalmedicineweb.com or call our toll-free order line 1-888-305-4288 and order your products without having to drive to the clinic. Our website provides articles on many of the products we carry.

Foot Care / Orthotics

The Center for Natural Medicine is proud to be a carrier of Footmaxx brand orthotics (customized and computerized shoe insoles) and scanning equipment. This technologically advanced system allows the patient to walk across a pressure mat while the computer calculates abnormalities in their gait (walking motion). This computerized gait analysis is then displayed in 3D for analysis. If orthotics are indicated, the patients’ data is downloaded to the Footmaxx laboratory where the insole’s are formed precisely to the individuals test results. This system allows orthotics to be fashioned from analysis of the patients WALKING motion, rather than the traditional method of using a mold from a standing or sitting position. The dimensions and correction of the orthotic module itself are precisely generated from computerized data; therefore there is no guesswork or hand molding.
