The hydrotherapy department is self-contained, including rooms for colonics, whirlpool, constitutional hydrotherapy, steam and sitz baths. Naturopathic physicians are licensed as primary health care providers in the state of Washington. They receive four to five years of medical training, including a two year clinical internship. They strive to work from the least invasive approach possible and to look for underlying causes rather than merely treating symptoms. Naturopathic physicians work with a person's innate healing ability and address each person individually and uniquely in treatment.
Naturopathic physicians function like general practitioners or traditional family doctors.
They treat all ailments, including acute childhood diseases like ear aches and the more persistent health concerns of adults. Acupuncturists are licensed by the state of Washington Department of Health. Acupuncturists practice traditional Oriental medicine therapy using very fine needles to stimulate specific points along pathways of vital energy that flow throughout the body. The actual insertion of the acupuncture needles is done very quickly past the nerve receptors of the skin. Our clinic uses sterile, disposable acupuncture needles.
