 Recurrent health problems change lives. Digestive disorders, obesity, breathing problems, poor circulation, female and male specific conditions, low resistance to infection, chronic pain, joint and disc degeneration, various forms of arthritis and other syndromes and conditions are frustrating for both the patient and the health professional. Western medicine shines in the emergency room and operating theatre, but medical doctors often throw up their hands when it comes to non-life threatening chronic complaints. The side effects of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals are often worse than the condition they are used to treat and hospitals are full of people who are there because of adverse reactions to these drugs.
 There is growing evidence that many of these chronic disorders are responding well to approaches based on life style changes and enhanced internal resistance. Because of the complexity of the symptom picture and organ systems involved, it is helpful to have an integrated approach in diagnosing and treating a person with long-standing health problems. Naturopathy and Traditional Chinese medicine provides support for re-building the biochemical factors which lower the body's resistance to disease. Chiropractic care focuses on the neuro-biomechanical influences the spine can have on tissue health and resistance. Massage and exercise therapy also play a role in the process, leading to better health and self-care. But more important are the choices you make in your lifestyle. We're here to help, but you do the work.
