Naturopathic medicine can help get to the root cause of your hormonal, skin, gastrointestinal, low energy concerns, and more. Conditions such as PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, hypo/hyperthyroid, chronic stress, acne, eczema, IBS, GERD, fatigue, etc., are a good fit. Naturopathic Doctors treat using diet and lifestyle recommendations, herbs, supplements, and acupuncture when needed. Depending on your needs, naturopathic medicine can be used solely or in combination with your primary care treatments.

Chiropractic care is an evidence-based, non-invasive, hands-on treatment that focuses on the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic doctors can recommend a course of treatment to help alleviate pain while improving function based on the patient’s goals and preferences.

Conditions commonly treated are headaches including migraines, low back pain, neck pain, sciatica and leg pain, vertigo, repetitive strain movements and much more. Our chiropractor uses a variety of techniques including spinal manipulation/mobilization, soft tissue therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, acupuncture/dry needling, rehabilitative exercises and education. Each treatment is individualized and tailored to meet your health goals.

Licensed counselling therapists are trained individuals who work with clients who are experiencing a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, burnout, depression, self-worth, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. They are here to offer guidance, support and provide tools to help you better manage mental health challenges, and help you experience growth.

 Registered massage therapists are trained to provide hands-on treatment to help reduce bodily stress and discomfort. Our massage therapist provides a number of techniques such as kneading, hot stone massages, guasha, cupping and deep tissue release. Massage therapy can help with: muscle spasms, muscular strains and sprains, headaches, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and so much more

Infertility can be an overwhelming and consuming journey. There is so much that can be done to optimize your fertility with naturopathic medicine. Your Naturopathic Doctor can help to identify any obstacles to conceiving through full health history and a proper work-up.

Conditions we can support include, but are not limited to PCOS, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriages, premature ovarian insufficiency, sperm factor infertility, etc.

Treatment includes evidence-based lifestyle, herbal, and supplement interventions to increase your chance of success along with acupuncture when indicated. This is a particular passion of Dr. Tracy Palmer ND’s, be sure to check out her signature program, the Nurtured Fertility Method here.

Acupuncture can be so beneficial for cycle regulation and supporting fertility. RTB recommends acupuncture to majority of our fertility clients as part of their treatment plans and here’s why:

It has been shown to:

• improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus
• increase pregnancy and live birth rates
• support implantation when provided with IVF transfers
• promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety

In an ideal world, acupuncture would be done 1x/week, but this can become quite costly and be yet another appointment that you are going to alone.

That is why RTB is so happy to offer Fertility Community Acupuncture.

What are the benefits?

• reduced rate! $75/45 minute session – that’s $100 of monthly savings, plus it will help extend your insurance benefits
• build a greater sense of community – why do it alone when you could join two other women for your fertility acupuncture experience?

Infertility can be an isolating experience, but it doesn’t have to be.

Trying to conceive takes a toll on you, both emotionally and physically. Chiropractic can help with the physical stressors associated with your journey. Chiropractic can help assist in the innervation of the nerves that provide stimulation to the reproductive organs. Chiropractic can also help reduce restrictions in the spine and provide a better environment for fertility to take place. 

Infertility counselling is an integral part of infertility treatment as the process can impact one’s physical, mental, emotional health, and not to mention the potential financial strain. Through individual and/or couples therapy, a counsellor can help navigate through common themes that come up such as lack of control, fear of the unknown, grief, anxiety, depression, and more. 

Massage therapy can assist in providing relief from stress and tension present due to infertility. Deep, yet gentle and non-invasive massages can be provided which can help with alignment, pressure and discomfort during this time.

Typically in the conventional model for pregnancy care, there are fewer appointments during early pregnancy, with more time focused on the later stages. Naturopathic medicine can complement that model with our Roots to Branches Pregnancy Program, where we provide evidence-based nutritional counselling that has been shown to reduce risk of pregnancy complications for mom and things like low birth weight for babe.

Your Naturopathic Doctor can also use acupuncture as a safe tool to assist with symptom management during pregnancy and labour prep.

During post-partum, Naturopathic Doctors can assist with the well-being of Mom beyond just the standard 6-week post-partum visit, and focus on nutritional & lifestyle counselling and any safe supplements to support things like mood, rest, nourishment, and milk supply.

The most common reasons why mamas come in to see a chiropractor when they’re pregnant are:

• Neck pain
• Lower back pain
• Mid back pain
• Rib pain
• Pelvic pain and pressure
• Aching legs and buttocks
• Peripheral swelling
• Sciatica or shooting pain down the legs/feet
• Fatigue and low energy
• Night time muscle spasms
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• De Quervain tenosynovitis
• Sleep disturbances

A special technique known as the webster technique is used to promote function during this time. This technique is most often used in pregnant women to improve pelvic and uterine function and correct fetal positioning. This is a safe, and gentle technique that focuses on the spine and the surrounding tissues.

Dr. Stephanie Galea is trained in the Webster Technique and has found it to be an extremely effective way to relieve many low-back, pelvic, and SI joint complaints.

Let’s face it, having a baby is not easy on your body, both physically and mentally. There is sleep deprivation, endless breastfeeding/bottle feeding and diaper changing, and the new mentality of putting your baby before your own needs. Frankly, it is exhausting. However, what we do know is that as a mama, we need you to be ok and that begins with a little self-love. 

We believe moms deserve more than just a 6 – week checkup when it comes to recovery after childbirth. Dr. Stephanie Galea fills that gap by providing a comprehensive postpartum checkup and progressive healing through exercise targeting the core, pelvic floor and total body. She runs group-based postpartum rehab programs.

Naturopathic Doctors love to support and optimize the health of your child using nutrition and lifestyle supports, and safe herb and supplement recommendations if needed. Naturopathic medicine can work in combination with recommendations from  your child’s primary care provider.

Common childhood concerns we can support include, but are not limited to:

• Nutritional counselling for daycare and back-to-school health optimization

Pediatric Chiropractors have the knowledge and expertise to assess dysfunction in the spine, nervous system, weaknesses and primitive reflexes that may contribute to challenges in their mobility, and achieving their developmental milestones as well as optimizing overall health and development. 

When it comes to infant care and treatment, chiropractors have been known to successfully treat issues like trouble in latching or breastfeeding, manual therapy pre and post-tongue, lip and buccal revisions, treating an underdeveloped digestive system, and acid reflux, misaligned spine, and ear pain/infection.

When the entire nervous system is working properly, your baby is able to eat and sleep and grow without colic, constipation, and sleep issues during their peak development days.

During the session, the chiropractor makes gentle adjustments, which can sometimes look like a gentle massage and other times a touch of a hand. The pressure used by the practitioner is similar to the pressure one uses to test the ripeness of fruit and the care performed is safe.

Benefits of chiropractic care for pediatric patients:

• Improved range of motion
• Reduce torticollis
• Easier latching
• pre + post-support for tongue, lip and buccal revisions
• Reduce reflux
• Improvements with colic
• Regulate emotions
• Fewer ear infections
• Improve digestion
• Healthier sleeping habits

As men, you deserve the same mental health support and wellness as everyone else.  We don’t buy into the age-old, “seeking help for mental health is a sign of weakness,” or that, “real men don’t ask for help.”
