Naturopathic medicine combines current health practices with traditional natural therapies to help your body heal by targeting the root cause of your symptoms. Dr. Jessie Short takes time to understand your health history, symptoms, priorities and current care before developing an individualized plan.

Recommendations begin with practical, lower-intervention strategies where appropriate. Depending on your needs, a plan may include nutrition and lifestyle changes, acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutraceuticals or naturopathic injection therapies.

Dr. Short has a clinical focus on hormonal and menstrual health and our Naturopathic services integrate seamlessly with our Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Massage programs. This ensures that your internal health (nutrition and hormones) supports your physical recovery (movement and strength).

What happens during a first naturopathic consultation?

Your first visit includes a detailed discussion of your health history, symptoms, goals, medications and current care. Dr. Short will then explain appropriate options and next steps.

Can naturopathic care complement my current treatment plan?

Yes. Bring an up-to-date list of medications, supplements and other treatments so recommendations can be considered safely alongside your existing care.

Is naturopathic medicine covered by insurance?

Most private health plans provide naturopathic coverage. Benefits and eligible services vary, so confirm the details with your insurance provider.
