Naturopathic Medicine.

At Agile we view naturopathic medicine as a cornerstone to optimizing health and healing from a truly personalized approach.  

Each person we see at Agile has a unique history and background. Naturopathic doctors take the time to understand all aspects of your story and base their care on evidence-based practices, which combine traditional and natural approaches with modern technology to create a plan where you are in control. Naturopathic doctors are trained in anatomy, physiology, hematology, endocrinology, pharmacology, and many other aspects of modern science, and integrate nutrition, lifestyle medicine, botanical medicine and manual therapy into their practice.

While our naturopathic doctor on staff is passionate about helping others change their relationship with their pain, she can also help optimize your health from the inside out. Naturopathic doctors are trained as primary care clinicians with a focus on preventative medicine to help you perform better, live without pain, age gracefully or have more energy. They can make diagnoses, perform physical exams, prescribe medications and perform a number of treatments depending on your needs.

This service is only available at our Quadra Street location.
