Pain is a multidimensional phenomenon. It grabs your attention and produces strong emotional reactions that adversely affect a patient’s function, quality of life, emotional state, social and vocational status, and general well-being.
Along with chiropractic and acupuncture care, Naturopathic Medicine helps address pain and inflammation in a holistic way. The combination of all these therapies may help for a speedy, efficient, and natural recovery without resorting to conventional treatments.
