Naturopathic Treatment Program

The goal of treatment is to help individuals to heal and maintain optimal health naturally. We believe the body has amazing regenerative capacity. The key is to find out what is preventing if from achieving optimal health and then provide effective solutions. The underlying motivation behind any treatment program is to revive the body’s own innate ability to heal itself.

Our approach is focused on the patient, as opposed to the disease and examines the patient from all aspects including a biochemical, physiological and psychological perspective. We help patients to resolve their most difficult health challenges by doing an in-depth analysis to expose the root cause or causes of the illness, instead of simply suppressing or eliminating symptoms. The highly specialized diagnostic tools used enable us to find blockages, determine toxicity and develop an understanding of core disturbances.

Based of our diagnostic results, we will prescribe natural remedies, which work to resolve core imbalances that are interfering with proper physiological function. These natural remedies include botanical formulas, homeopathic remedies, vitamins and mineral supplements.

Only professional products are prescribed, many of which are imported from Europe and unavailable at most health food stores. Professional products are regulated and quality controlled. The professional products use the highest quality ingredients in their natural, most bio-available form with no added fillers or preservatives.

Naturopathic Doctors receive extensive training in pharmaceutical medications and though they cannot prescribe them, they can ensure that the natural products that they prescribe do not have adverse reactions or drug interactions when used in combination with various prescription pharmaceuticals.

We combine leading edge techniques, therapies and diagnostic tools which enables us to assist patients in combating complex chronic health issues including:

  • Cancer
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Chronic infectious diseases
  • Allergies
  • Digestive disorders
  • Attention related disorders
  • Neurological disorders
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Muscular-skeletal disorders
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Fertility issues
  • Immune dysfunction
  • Headaches & Migraines

Our patients are involved in their health programs and learn to make effective and educated decisions which prevent future health concerns.

Visceral Manipulation Program

Many people suffer from chronic pain of unknown origin in various places in their body from chronic pelvic pain to chronic headaches. This can be debilitating and affect every aspect of their life. Chronic pain can be due to many reasons but frequently the origin of the pain has yet to be uncovered.

Chronic pain is often due to unhealthy compensations created by the body. Inflammation is any part of your body caused by infections, direct trauma, repetitious movement, diet, environmental toxins or emotional stress can lead to adhesions that restrict movement of our internal organs or viscera.

When you are healthy all of your internal organs can move freely and are able to function optimally without pain. Visceral manipulation therapy works to improve mobility and function of the organs and re-establishes the body’s ability to heal itself.
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, manual therapy that does not focus on the site of pain or dysfunction; instead we evaluate the entire body to find the source of the restriction. Once the source is identified visceral manipulation techniques that release adhesions and promote mobility are applied, allowing the organs to move freely and function optimally. As the source of the problem is released, the symptoms will start to decrease.

This program begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Roberts, in order to explore your health history, conduct state of the art alternative testing and do a comprehensive visceral manipulation evaluation to uncover the source of the restriction that is contributing to your pain and dysfunction.

Visceral manipulation therapy is done once a week for 6 weeks, followed by a subsequent visit to track progress and ensure success.

IBS Relief Program

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is a functional bowel disorder and usually a diagnosis of exclusion. Patients often experience chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, gas, bloating, alternating constipation and diarrhea with no detectable cause through conventional testing.

At Calgary Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, we want to gain a comprehensive understanding as to why you are struggling with digestive issues and promote optimal functioning of the digestive tract


The IBS Program Involves . . .
. . . State of the art electro-dermal screening, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) testing, visceral manipulation therapy, supplements and nutritional guidelines.

Treatment is as follows:
  • Electro-dermal testing allows us to assess the viability of all the organs including the digestive tract, the liver and the adrenals. This test is conducted on the initial assessment as well as subsequent visits to track progress.
  • HRV testing assesses the autonomic nervous system and allow us to see the gut’s ability to heal itself.
  • Visceral manipulation therapy is used to release adhesions and allow better movement and function of the bowels.
  • Supplements and nutritional guidelines will be part of the program to decrease the inflammation in the gut and heal the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
  • Vitamin IVs may be necessary to bypass the digestive tract and stimulate more rapid healing in the body.
This is a 6 week program for intensive gut healing and rejuvenation. A typical program begins with an initial one-hour visit with Dr. Roberts, in order to explore your health history, conduct state of the art alternative testing, investigate food sensitivities and arrange for any additional testing that may be appropriate.
HRV testing is conducted on the 2nd visit. Visceral manipulation therapy is done once a week for 6 weeks. Subsequent visits are done at 3 weeks and 6 weeks to track progress and make necessary changes to the program to ensure success.
