Body Structure
The optimal functioning of your body leads to improved wellness. Skeletal, muscular, or any structural problems lead to ill health and discomfort.
For example, a spine improperly aligned, does not allow your body to function optimally. A spinal bone out of position will either create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. This is subluxation. Your nerves are malfunctioning. They are not passing on vital information properly. Think of it as a short circuit in your body’s communication system. It can also induce pain, which in turn short circuits your feelings of well being.
The Edmonton Naturopathic Practitioner locates subluxations and reduces or corrects them through a series of adjustments or treatments, using procedures specifically designed for this purpose. These same measures are beneficial for other painful structural problems as well.
Nutrition
How often do you eat just right? This fast-paced world squeezes our time from every direction. Too often, the first casualty is a balanced diet. We are tempted by fast food this, or pre-packaged that, all poor substitutes for good wholesome food. To get the right nutrition, you must supplement your diet. Nearly all patients of the Naturopathic Practitioner require some form of supplement to get their bodies on track to proper health.
To assist you, we offer a wide variety of specially chosen, professional grade natural supplements to help tune your body back to its optimal chemistry. These are very different from the typical mass-market, commercially available products. The Naturopathic Practitioner selects formulations that meet exact professional standards and optimized for success in giving proper results.
Most of these formulations target specific body or organ functions. Therefore, their use should be under the professional supervision of the Naturopathic Practitioner. The Practitioner understands the complex interactions of various supplements, or prescribed medications, on existing health conditions.
We also provide dietary counselling based on Clinical Nutrition. These are simple real world diet solutions to optimize your body’s chemistry by replacing missing elements. The goal of the Practitioner is to empower you to live a healthier life. Ideally, this will reduce your need for supplements over time.
Another group of Naturopathic therapies that play a vital role in insuring your body has access to needed vitamins and minerals are Intravenous Therapies. They provide a quick boost that is instantly accessible for your body to utilize. The Naturopathic Practitioner recommends these as quick immune enhancers during times of stress, when you may be susceptible to a variety of ailments. They can also play a supportive role in treating many other health concerns such as migraine headaches and depression.
Emotional Therapy
Emotions rule our lives. Increased stress from having less time to do all we need. Problems with our jobs and relationship all lead to more anxiety and even to depression. These get in the way of the healthy and happy life we all deserve. The Edmonton Naturopathic Practitioner understands these stresses and see them in patients every day.
That is why the Practitioner teaches you techniques to overcome even difficult emotional issues. Again, our goal is to empower you to live a better life by giving you the proper tools. We also use combinations of color therapy, emotional release therapy, and behaviour modification techniques to help clear negative emotions.
In some cases, we refer you to another professional for further assistance. It really is about making sure you get the help you need.
Detoxification
Toxins invade our lives. From the things we eat to the air we breathe, additives and chemicals find their way into our bodies. Even old medications can stay stored in your tissues for years. They just keep accumulating over time, forming a barrier to wellness. Proper detoxification is the only way to purge your system.
The Edmonton Naturopathic Practitioner provides two different approaches to detoxification. There is the diet approach defined by Clinical Nutrition and the alternative or complementary Ionic Foot Bath Cellular Cleanse Therapy.
The Ionic Foot Bath has become our most popular treatment for whole body detoxification. The EB-Pro Ionic Foot Bath is designed specifically to detoxify your body while restoring your body’s pH and electromagnetic energy. Patients enjoy and benefit from this convenient method of detoxification. It suits their busy lifestyles. The Edmonton Naturopathic Practitioner recommends its regular use to maintain optimal health.
Electromagnetic
Electromagnetic pollution surrounds us, interfering with the delicate healthy rhythms of our brains and nervous systems. Computers, cell phones, fluorescent lights, power lines, the sources just keep growing. Often the results can be headaches, sluggishness, or an unexplained weakness in our bodies.
We can’t avoid all of the electromagnetic pollution in our environment, but we can take steps to protect ourselves. The Practitioner has techniques to rebalance your energy and shield yourself against many of the harmful effects of this invasive pollution.
Allergies and Sensitivities
Many of us have allergies and sensitivities to things in our environment. Often they were first noticed when we were children. Other times they develop later in our adult life. You might not have to live with them forever.
Edmonton Naturopathic Practitioner, Doctor Lena Kim, ND, uses techniques that uncover the root cause and help you overcome it. Would it not be wonderful to look forward to a life free from medication or avoidance of specific foods? The Practitioner uses physiological programming to train your body to respond differently to those things that cause a negative reaction. For many people, this is a life-enhancing step.
