Treatments we offer at our Calgary Clinic

Each client’s treatment is individualized based on their health condition, desires and needs. Read on to learn of some of the tools available at our clinic.

Treatments We Use

Food as medicine is the first and foremost goal of treatment. Discover which foods make you feel vibrant and how to fit them into your day. Understand which supplements may be important for you, and par down your cupboard to only those that serve a clear and necessary purpose in your optimal health.
Injecting nutrients is the fastest way we have of changing your nutrient status. In some cases, such as poor gut function or a need for very high nutrient intake, oral nutrients are not a good option. Following a complete initial intake as well as review of recent lab work, Dr. Angela Kirk ND may recommend an individualized intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection to support you on your health journey.
To better understand your symptoms, help uncover the root cause or illness and/or help detect signs of imbalance before overt illness occurs, specialized lab testing may be used. Our clinic has many different options to look more closely at digestive function, microbiome, inflammatory reactions to foods or environmental triggers, and hormones.

Botanical medicine is the effective use of plants to help treat disease. The use of plants for healing dates back to the beginnings of civilization and is the foundation for modern pharmacology. While most herbs are largely safe and have few side effects some can have damaging consequences if taken incorrectly. Naturopathic Doctors are highly trained in both the proper use and potential adverse effects of herbal medicines. Under appropriate guidance botanical medicine is a safe and effective method of supporting the treatment and prevention of disease.

Acupuncture in our Calgary clinic involves the strategic placement of needles into the surface of the body in order to stimulate the flow of Qi (“chee”) and correct any imbalances in energy flow. Scientific studies and our experience has shown acupuncture to be potentially helpful in the treatment for many conditions – from anxiety to injury recovery to hormonal support. It is also part of our program for optimal fertility, pregnancy support, IVF preparation and transfer.

Bowen therapy in our Calgary clinic is a gentle, hands on technique used to help realign the body, reduce pain and induce healing. It may address a wide range of health complaints including plantar fascitis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, digestive complaints, colic in babies and general body aches and pains. These gentle powerful moves send impulses to the brain where they are processed, and fed back to help realign and balance the body.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach to evaluating and healing the whole body. Gentle in execution, and profound in impact, CST can help you heal from illness and pain. Used preventatively, your body will be more resistant to developing pain or disease. These attributes make CST an amazing therapy for babies from birth, right through to seniors.
Our Calgary Naturopathic Clinic has state of the art tools to support your healing. The Alpha Stim technology applies a gentle electrical frequency that modifies neurological signalling. It can be used for pain, anxiety, insomnia and depression. See some of its history in the adjacent video, a clip from a movie on electroceuticals, Body Electric. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF therapy, uses low level electromagnetic frequencies to help stimulate healing and reduce pain. Settings can be adjusted to treat inflammation, cellular health and increased circulation. In our Calgary clinic we use it for a variety of conditions including pain, bowel health and uterine lining support pre-IVF.
Homeopathic medicine is used to help stimulate your body’s own healing abilities. Minute amounts of natural substances are used therapeutically to help the body return to a place of balance. Contact our Calgary clinic for more information.
