What conditions does a naturopathic doctor treat in Vancouver?

Naturopathic doctors commonly treat hormonal, digestive, reproductive and stress-related conditions. At Killarney Health this includes fertility and preconception concerns, PCOS, hormone imbalance, perimenopause and menopause, digestive and gut health, anxiety and burnout, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and preventative care.

Can naturopathic medicine help with pain?

Yes. Chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, sciatica and nerve pain, TMJ and jaw pain, headaches, migraines and sports injuries are commonly treated at Killarney Health. These concerns are usually addressed with registered massage therapy and registered acupuncture, sometimes alongside naturopathic medicine.

Which treatment is used for which condition?

Hormonal, fertility, digestive and stress-related concerns are usually treated with naturopathic medicine and acupuncture. Musculoskeletal concerns such as chronic pain, sciatica, TMJ and sports injuries are usually treated with registered massage therapy and acupuncture. Pregnancy and postpartum care often combines all three.

How long before I notice a difference?

Timelines depend on the condition, how long it has been present, and your individual health history. Musculoskeletal concerns often respond within a few treatments, while hormonal, fertility and digestive concerns are typically managed over several months because they follow your body's own cycles.

Do you order lab testing?

Yes. Naturopathic care at Killarney Health integrates lab testing where clinically appropriate, and treatment plans for IV therapy and iron infusion are based on your health history, symptoms and lab work. Testing is discussed with you during your intake before anything is ordered.

Can I be treated for more than one condition at a time?

Yes. Many concerns are connected. Digestive symptoms, mood, energy and hormones frequently influence each other, and a single plan often addresses several at once. Your practitioner will prioritize which concern to work on first based on your goals and history.

Is a referral needed to be assessed?

No referral is required in British Columbia to see a naturopathic doctor, registered acupuncturist or registered massage therapist. Some extended health plans ask for a physician referral before reimbursing, so confirm with your insurer. You can book directly online or by calling 604-438-9327.

Do you treat patients who are already under medical care?

Yes. Many patients at Killarney Health are also working with a family physician, obstetrician or fertility clinic. Naturopathic care is designed to work alongside your existing medical care, and we encourage you to share your current medications, supplements and test results at intake.

Is naturopathic care covered by extended health insurance?

Many extended health plans include coverage for naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and massage therapy. We offer direct billing to many providers. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so confirm your per-visit amount, annual maximum and referral requirements with your insurer before your appointment.
