Spinal Problems Naturopaths in California

Restorative Medicine is a therapeutic approach aimed at restoring organ function and endocrine balance on a functional level such that, cellular, metabolic, and functional improvements can be long lasting reducing the need for multiple pharmaceutical interventions. Restorative Medicine seeks to cure the causes of chronic musculoskeletal pain by healing damage and degeneration of connective tissue caused by traumatic injuries and repetitive motion injuries. This is accomplished by injecting natural substances or one's own blood platelets and tissue stem cells directly into the problem areas in order to regenerate healthy tissue.

As a naturopathic doctor I focus on restoring health and preventing disease. I will work to determine the root cause of your health issues and partner with you to develop an individualized program. This will emphasize using the safest, most effective, natural medicines available. I believe strongly in "practicing what I preach" and therefore I live my life with integrity and the same level of commitment to diet, health, exercise and wellness that I ask of my patients. I will never ask you to do something that I have not tried myself or I am not currently doing.
