General Information

Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive alternative care system that is suitable for the prevention and management of various conditions such as acute and chronic pain, immune system disorders, hormonal imbalances, digestive complaints, and chronic health issues. It is especially effective in the treatment of long-standing illnesses that do not always respond fully to conventional therapies.

At the Docere Center for Natural Health, we are committed to providing you the best personalized care that is lacking in today’s medical paradigm. We offer a natural way to take care of your health and body through the use of non-invasive and non-toxic therapies and make every effort to improve the quality of your life. We are able to achieve clinical efficacy with our patients by blending the best of traditional natural medicine and modern medical science.

 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

In addition to conventional lab testing, we also utilize a variety of specialized laboratory tests that evaluate functional disorders that are often misdiagnosed or left untreated. Some testing can be performed at home with test kits to collect blood spot, saliva, urine, or stool. Others may require you to go to a local laboratory to draw the blood. In all cases, we will assist you in coordinating initial and follow-up testing. While the testing gives a more complete picture of your status, effective care can be implemented without it, or testing can be done over time.

An individualized treatment recommendation will be provided at the end of the visit. Before your initial visit, please print and fill out the New Patient Packet under the “Patient Forms” page.

 INJECTION THERAPY

B12, B-Complex, Combo B12 & B-Complex Injection: $25.00, $20.00, $40.00

Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. Vitamin B12 injections help boost energy and stamina, strengthen the immune system, improve sleep patterns, reduce frequent headache and allergy attacks, improve mood stabilization, and increase metabolism, thereby aiding in weight loss. The B-Complex injection contains different water-soluble vitamins essential for healthy and vibrant hair, nails, and skin. B-Complex vitamins also help improve concentration and memory.

Most people consume adequate amounts of B vitamins through their diet. However, those with pernicious anemia, the elderly, athletes, strict vegetarians or vegans, and people who consume excessive alcohol may be deficient in B vitamins and may require injections or oral supplementation of B vitamins or vitamin B12, in particular. B12 and B-Complex supplements may take a long time to absorb into your system. If you’re low on B12 or B-Complex vitamins, an intramuscular injection will enter the bloodstream more directly, producing faster results.

Biopuncture (10 minutes): $70.00+

Biopuncture is a safe, natural, and effective injection technique for inflammation and pain management. This therapy works by injecting ultra-low dilution homeopathic formulas into specific zones or points to promote natural healing and stimulate the body’s own detoxification mechanisms. Biopuncture does not suppress the neuro-immunological reactions or interfere with physiological defense systems of the body. Common conditions treated with Biopuncture are sports injuries (e.g., achilles tendinopathy, muscle strain, ankle sprain, tennis and golf elbow) and musculoskeletal pain (e.g., neck pain and back pain, muscular pain, bursitis, joint pain).
