NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
The goal of Naturopathic Medicine is to find and treat the underlying cause of illness rather than treating symptoms alone. Dr. Barnett seeks to gain understanding of the inter-relatedness of each patient’s medical history, current health concerns, mental/emotional state and lifestyle behaviors. After your evaluation, Dr. Barnett will recommend a treatment plan which can involve therapeutic nutrition, herbal medicine, nutraceuticals (vitamins and minerals), acupuncture, homeopathy and lifestyle modifications.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is based on a 4000 year old practice of inserting fine needles into specific points, or meridians, along the body to unblock areas of stagnation. The result is an improvement of circulation to compromised areas which allows the body to begin healing and repairing itself. The World Health Organization recognizes the ability of acupuncture to treat over 200 common conditions.
