NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE:

Botanical/Herbal Medicine:
Botanical medicine refers to plant-based treatments. The use of plants dates back to the beginning of civilization and is the foundation of modern pharmacology. Botanical medicine is an effective and gentle treatment to help balance and heal the body. At The Georgetown Naturopathic Wellness Centre, we only use very high quality botanical and herbal medicines including St. Francis Herb Farm products as well as European herbal preparations (gemmo and phyto-therapy).
Diet & Nutritional Counselling:
Nutrition is the cornerstone of Naturopathic Medicine. The food we eat and how we digest our food have a direct impact on our health. Individualized diets and nutritional supplements are recommended to address deficiencies, treat disease processes and promote health. Understanding food sensitivities and/or allergies can be very beneficial to re-establishing a healthy balance which can be identified using a variety of testing.
Homeopathic Medicine:
Homeopathic medicine is a form of medicine based on like cures like, and is used to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Homeopathy is a powerful tool that affects healing on a physical and emotional level. At The Georgetown Naturopathic Wellness Centre, we use bio-therapeutic drainage which is based on the European homeopathic model. Our focus is using homeopathic drainage remedies to rid toxins through the elimination organs.
Lifestyle Counselling:
Naturopathic Medicine is committed to the education and guidance of their patients in making positive changes to various aspects of their lifestyle that may be inhibiting optimal health. Naturopathic lifestyle counselling takes into consideration where you are in your health journey and what you wish to achieve. By evaluating the environmental, mental/emotional and physical aspects of your life, the ND can help you make choices which will enhance your well-being and reduce stress levels.

OSTEOPATHY:
Click Here To Learn More About Our Osteopathy Services
Osteopathic manual practitioners assess areas of the body that are restricted or constricted using palpation, a skill in detecting tissue states using the manual practitioner’s subtle and refined touch. These areas can be in any of these systems: musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, craniosacral, visceral, fascial, digestive, and reproductive. Osteopathic manual practitioners seek to identify and then gently ease the restrictions or constrictions so the body can function normally again.
Because osteopathy is a complete system of assessment and integration of all the body’s systems and tissues, manual practitioners base their practice on a detailed study of the human anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, as well as their many years of experience. Osteopathic manual practitioners do not treat symptoms of dysfunction (i.e. pain), but rather, they aim to treat the primary source of that dysfunction.
Generally, osteopathy can treat most dysfunctions in the body, including:
- Back, neck, and joint pain (musculoskeletal pain anywhere in the body)
- Cranial trauma (post-concussion syndrome)
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Jaw problems
- Sports injuries
- Whiplash and motor vehicle accidents
- Digestive problems (digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome)
- Breathing problems (asthma, chest pain/tension)
- Gynecological problems (painful menstruation, painful intercourse)
- Circulatory and lymphatic problems
- Bladder problems (incontinence)
- Post-surgical pain, scar adhesions
- Chronic pain, fibromyalgia
- Chronic fatigue
- Emotional distress
- Infant & child conditions (feeding issues, colic, digestive, recurrent ear infections)
MASSAGE THERAPY:

Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health. It has a therapeutic effect on the body by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems.
Massage therapy benefits people of all ages. While it benefits the injured, the ill and the stressed, the strength of massage therapy is in preventing illness and conditions before they develop. It can be used in the treatment of both acute and chronic stages of conditions. There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist. Whether your need is to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being as well as your quality of life.
