Asian Medicine/Acupuncture

Based on traditional wisdom, Asian Medicine attempts to rebalance the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body. NDs are trained in traditional diagnostics as well as acupuncture and herbal treatments. We frequently use acupuncture and Chinese herbs to treat male and female hormonal imbalances (infertility, menopause, irregular cycles, menstrual cramps, improve sperm quality and quantity), pain management (sports injuries, arthritic pain and fibromyalgia).

Botanical Medicine

The use of plant based remedies in a variety of forms (including teas, tinctures, and salves) to address your health concerns. Plant based remedies are often gentler and create less side effects than pharmaceutical products. We commonly use herbs to treat acute cols and flus, digestive conditions, hormone imbalances, detoxification, and blood sugar management.

Clinical Nutrition

Most people have heard “You are what you eat”, however many of us still do not realize what an integral role diet plays in their health. Dietary modification and supplementation are a key component of treatment at the Forest City Naturopathic Clinic. A key component is determining and eliminating food allergies, which can have a huge impact on conditions like eczema, arthritis, allergies, asthma, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and many chronic diseases.
