Naturopathic Therapies Used in Our Office
Nutrition
We have control over the food we eat, and food plays an integral role in our health. The doctors at Soaring Crane Natural Health Center will spend an extensive period of time working with you on foods to support your overall health and well-being as well as specific diets to help treat disease. Naturopathic Physicians are very well trained in the gut, in normal physiology of food digestion and where this process can go wrong. With nutrition catered to you as an individual, we can effect an incredible change in health. Whole foods and foods that decrease overall inflammation in the body will be emphasized. Specific nutrients may also be prescribed to correct imbalance and assist the body in healing at a cellular level.
Lifestyle Counseling
Naturopathic Physicians are trained in a variety of counseling techniques. We work with patients in mental/emotional health as well as physical health. In order to treat a person as a whole, this is an essential part of our work. Lifestyle counseling may include discussions about exercise, healthy habits, routine and support through life’s transitions. The doctors at Soaring Crane clinic will also refer you to counselors in the community to assist in your healing process as needed.
Botanical Medicine
Plants have been used as medicine since the beginning of time. Through trial and error, clinical work and more recently scientific experimentation, we have found that plants in different forms have physiological effects on the body, from being nutritious and supportive to normal function to having a direct effect on function and disease processes. Many botanical medicines are powerful medicine and should be administered by a trained professional who is trained in the potential side effects and interactions between plant medicines and pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed by Hahnemann over 200 years ago. Homeopathy uses very dilute substances derived from plants, animals and minerals to treat a variety of acute and chronic illnesses. Homeopathic medicine can have a very powerful effect on a person’s well-being at all levels from physical to mental/emotional. One way to look at the effect of homeopathy, especially when being used for more chronic disease, is that when the body is ill, it is as if the person is stuck looking into one corner of the room. Their perspective is limited and therefore healing seems impossible. Homeopathic remedies, when prescribed appropriately, have the ability to assist a person in turning around and being able to visualize the whole room, the entire human experience. With this change in perspective, healing becomes more possible.
Biotherapeutic Drainage
Biotherapeutic drainage is a philosophy and methodology of healing which has been used in Europe for over 100 years. It was brought to the United States within the past 15 years by a few physicians, one of whom Dr Chadwick studied under extensively.
The goal of biotherpeutic drainage is to assist the body in eliminating toxins that are contributing to chronic disease by working on individual systems and opening the emunctories (routes of eliminations) at a cellular level. As we go through life, the space within and between our cells is cluttered with debris from disease, trauma, and pollutants. As the cells become more polluted, their ability to communicate with each other is hindered. With biotherapeutic drainage, specifically using Unda numbers, a set of remedies designed in Europe, the cells are being retrained to eliminate waste appropriately and communicate once again with each other effectively. With clear communication between cells, other therapies are more effective in helping a patient find balance and wellness, successfully treating the root cause of each patients’ disease.
Flower Essences
Flower Essences are formed by placing flowers in a bowl of water and allowing the water to absorb the essence of the flowers while sitting either under the sun or the moon. Dr Chadwick uses Alaskan Flower Essences as she believes that plants which grow in a similar environment to the one people live in have a more powerful effect on their well-being. Flower essences are often used for mental/emotional balance, but can also be used to treat acute and chronic disease.
Physical Medicine
Physical medicine techniques employed by the physicians and massage therapist and Soaring Crane Natural Health Center include massage, naturopathic soft tissue and structural manipulation, therapeutic exercise and hydrotherapy (the use of hot and cold water to stimulate lymphatic and blood flow to the tissues and organs which need healing). The doctors at Soaring Crane clinic utilize physical therapists, occupational therapists and chiropractors in the community to assist your healing as needed.
