Like a comic-book superteam, the medical specialists at Grain Integrative Health combine their powers to maintain peace within clients’ bodies. By providing health-care services such as acupuncture, massage, counseling, and naturopathic primary care, they aim to safeguard bodies against environmental and pharmaceutical toxins.

Clients can also opt for complete nutritional health evaluations, as well as testing for food allergies or sensitivities. Specialists also offer detoxification services to battle acute and chronic diseases brought on by sleeping inside a tub of old thermometers.

The knowledgeable staff at MediPro Slim Direct recognizes that not all weight-loss solutions work for everyone and customizes therapies to fit each individual's needs and lifestyles. The ideal protein program prompts the body to burn fat while maintaining muscle tissue and lean tissue. Nutrition programs use body-composition shakes and meal plans to teach people how to live off fewer calories without kicking the TV during every fast-food commercial. LipoLaser treatments harness laser energy to prompt fat cells to kick out their contents, and HCG programs goad the hypothalamus into healthfully seeking out stored fat to use as fuel.

The six naturopathic physicians and the resident acupuncturist at Oswego Progressive Medicine combine primary care, integrative thinking, and alternative therapies to help to balance their clients' bodies inside and out. The team's services include relieving allergies with sensitivity assessments conducted through a third-party, CLIA-accredited clinical laboratory before creating a comprehensive dietary strategy that enumerates which foods to avoid and which color broccoli to wear as a brooch.

Bodies feeling the effects of DHEA, cortisol, and other hormone imbalances undergo hormone testing before practitioners whip up custom treatment plans to tackle the problem. Detoxification programs integrate IV chelation therapy and medical-grade nutritional supplementation to purify internal systems. The practice's doctors also provide naturopathic oncology services, which fuse conventional Western medicine with natural compounds in the face of cancer.

At Downtown Dental Care, Drs. Lance D. Bailey and Kirk Christianson combine their years of experience in general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry in an office with a compassion-oriented philosophy. The doctors demonstrate their commitment to patients by participating in not-for-profit dentistry as well as such charitable organizations such as UNICEF, Pride Northwest, and Donated Dentistry, a clinic that administers free dental care for patients without insurance.

The doctors also devote themselves to continually honing their craft. Dr. Bailey cares for kids through his training in pediatric dentistry and for seniors with his advanced education in dentures. His training in laser dentistry, IV sedation, and CEREC one-visit crowns keeps him on the cutting edge of the industry. Meanwhile, Dr. Christianson’s advanced skills restore smiles beyond just the teeth with hard and soft tissue grafting and sinus surgery.

The team works to keep patients comfortable during each treatment. Every patient who wanders through the door, or chews their way through the wall, gets treated as an individual. The doctors thoroughly explain each treatment in order to reduce anxiety. During treatments, patients can keep tabs on the outside world with a flat-panel television and a broad window, both situated in front of the operatory chair.

If Dr. Noé Flores could give his chiropractic patients one piece of advice, it would be to work toward preventing pains before they start. By incorporating lifestyle coaching and practical postural-advice into his visits, he helps to fulfill his goal of helping patients practice prevention as much as he helps them relieve their pains. New patients experience an in-depth consultation during which Dr. Flores assesses their current issues, the number of bowling balls currently stuffed in their mattresses, and their goals for treatment, before he administers tests or treatment. During adjustments, he uses a low-pressure technique as a way to keep his patients comfortable. In some cases, he uses auricular therapy, a type of ear acupuncture that helps release endorphins and reduces pain. Building on his preventive ideas, the doctor and his team also give their patients exercises they can perform on their own to promote wellness outside his office.

The specialists at Advanced Aesthetics & Integrative Medical Center don’t believe in merely treating symptoms. Instead, they seek out the root cause of every blemish and imperfection before devising aesthetic treatments to restore skin to its naturally beautiful state. Their Botox and Juvederm treatments exemplify this methodology, not only smoothing away wrinkles but also impeding the muscle activity that causes them. To further aid them in their battle against premature aging, the team calls upon advanced lasers designed to reduce cellulite, remove unwanted hair, and alleviate stress by eradicating TIE fighters on their clients’ tails.
