Our providers use a healthy blend of naturopathic and allopathic medicine to diagnose and treat their patients by treating the whole body. In addition to being primary care physicians, we specialize in:
The sources of gastrointestinal dysfunction may be traced to diet, environmental toxins, microbes, stress, inflammation, disease processes or sub-normal function of other organs in the body.
Lyme disease is often called “The Great Imitator” because its symptoms resemble a number of other diseases. Regularly misdiagnosed, Lyme disease has been confused with arthritis, autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Lupus and bipolar disorder.
Also known as Sick Building Syndrome, exposure to many issues in buildings can be an underlying cause for chronic long term illness. Both Drs. Peterson and Minoff are trained in identifying, testing and treatment mycotoxin-sick patients.
When an immune response runs out of control it can cause inflammation resulting in one or more autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison’s disease and others. The naturopathic approach is to identify and treat the cause of the immune reaction, and not solely rely on symptomatic relief.
The endocrine system is distributed throughout the body, in a variety of glands that excrete hormones mediating metabolism, growth and reproduction. Endocrine dysfunctions affect health and the perception of health in many ways. Mood, sleep, energy level, appetite, weight control, nerve health, blood pressure, libido and many other expressions of biological and psychological function are mediated by this complex system.
The body is constantly exposed to substances, in the air, in our homes, and even in the food we eat. Sometimes the response of our immune systems can become extreme, even though the substance itself, pollen for example, is relatively benign. Once begun, the allergic reaction tends to recur every time the body encounters that same substance again.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is marked by disturbances of memory, concentration and sleep, along with joint pain, exhaustion and lymph node tenderness. Dr. Peterson specializes in cutting edge approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue and CFS.
Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders are complex conditions influenced by nervous system regulation, hormones, inflammation, sleep, nutrition, and life stressors. An integrative approach focuses on identifying and treating these underlying contributors through personalized care that may include counseling support, targeted supplementation, botanical medicine, lifestyle strategies, and when appropriate, prescription medications. Rather than relying on symptom management alone, this care model works to stabilize mood, improve stress resilience, restore sleep and energy, and support long-term emotional health in a way that is individualized, collaborative, and sustainable.
Musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and movement-related conditions can be treated using an integrative, hands-on approach. We offer manual therapies, acupuncture, targeted injections, and individualized rehabilitation plans designed to restore function and reduce pain at the source rather than simply masking symptoms.
