Naturopathic Medical Services
Most naturopathic services are not covered by traditional insurance. However, we can provide you with a superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA payments.
Our naturopathic doctors address a wide range of concerns, including hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, digestive health, chronic pain, joint injuries, weight management, fatigue, and preventive wellness. We also provide services such as PRP therapy, acupuncture, and IV nutrient therapy.
You can book online through our website, call our front desk, or schedule in person during your visit. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on treating the root cause of illness using natural, minimally invasive therapies. Our doctors spend more time with patients to understand their full health picture, integrating nutrition, lifestyle, botanical medicine, and modern treatments like PRP or IV therapy. Conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms with prescription drugs or surgery. Many patients benefit from a combination of both approaches.
Yes. In fact, our integrated wellness model encourages it. You can complement your naturopathic care with yoga, Pilates, martial arts, recovery services, and more—all under one roof here at South Mountain Movement & Wellness.
