Questions about conditions & treatment
These answers are general and educational. Your recommendations will be personalized based on your history, exam, and any appropriate testing.
Do I need a diagnosis before booking?
No. Many patients book because they have symptoms that haven’t been fully explained yet. We’ll start with a comprehensive assessment and decide together whether testing is helpful.
What kinds of lab testing do you use?
Depending on your case, this may include conventional labs and targeted functional testing to clarify root contributors and guide a focused plan.
Can you help if I’m already on medications?
Yes. Naturopathic care can often complement your current treatment plan. We’ll review your medications and supplements for safety and coordinate care as needed.
How soon will I notice results?
Timelines vary. Some people feel changes within weeks, while others need a longer plan—especially for chronic concerns. We’ll set realistic milestones and track progress.
Do you offer IV nutrient therapy and prolotherapy?
Yes. If appropriate for your goals and health history, these therapies can be included as part of a broader plan for recovery, resilience, and pain support.
