Use the Natural Approach to Health Care Port Perry’s first naturopathic practice opened November 2nd, 2007 at “Your Health Chiropractic” on North Street. Naturopathic Doctor Erika Buckley’s new family practice, which focuses on health promotion and disease prevention, will allow her to provide better service to her Port Perry patients. ‘A number of local residents have been travelling to Whitby to see a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, so I felt it was time to give Port Perry its first naturopathic clinic. It will be much more convenient for my current patients and it will give local residents an opportunity to learn more about natural healing,” she says. Even though natural approaches to health care have been around for centuries, the concept is relatively new for most people. Instead of masking symptoms, Naturopathic Medicine is centered on identifying and treating the cause of disease. Naturopathic medicine is a government-regulated health profession and covered by many extended health plans.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME 30 Queen St., Port ey When Should You Seek Professional Help for an Injury? Its that time of year again when slips and falls, shoveling, and winter sports injuries play havoc on your sanity. When should you seek help for an injury? There are some definite warning signs to when an injury needs professional health care attention. 1. Swelling 2. Moderate to Severe Pain 3. Weakness: significant loss of strength in the affected joint or muscle, or comparative weakness to the other side may suggest serious injury. 4, Numbness or Tingling 5. Inability to participate in normal activities of daily living or usual sporting activities. Don't let an injury progressively get worse. Getting a proper diagnosis is critical at this point. The goal is then to educate you about your injury, prevention and initiating proper treatment. Knowing what you should and shouldn't do is key to recovery.
