The Institute for Progressive Medicine treats people of all ages, with comprehensive, state of the art medicine. With access to both conventional and complementary therapies, we formulate programs for health that avoid the complications of drugs and surgery whenever possible. Our staff includes board-certified physicians and naturopaths with extensive training and experience in nutrition, vitamin and mineral supplementation, herbal therapies, prolotherapy, acupuncture, natural hormone replacement, chelation, intravenous nutrient therapies, and enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). Our purpose is to support health and manage illness with minimal use of drugs. Some alternative practitioners avoid drugs entirely. We believe it is important to have expertise in conventional therapies, in order to determine when drugs and surgery can be deferred, when and how drugs may be withdrawn, and when they should be employed.
