Children's Health

Children’s health is very important at our clinic. Dr. Joyce, ND, Dr. Graham, ND, and Dr. McLaren, ND, believe that starting early education and health awareness with a child will help to ensure they are getting the optimal foundation for good health.

We encourage parents to start bringing their children for visits soon after birth. During those first months of a baby’s life, we can help answer questions about things such as breastfeeding and sleep issues. As your child gets older, we will discuss with you such topics as food introduction and dealing with colds and flu. After the first year, we recommend bringing your children for a check up at least once annually. We will discuss their health over the past year, perform a physical exam and offer some recommendations to optimize their health. We also encourage parents to bring children in when they are suffering from a cold or flu. Naturopathic Medicine can assist with minimizing symptoms and decreasing the duration of an illness.

Some common children’s health conditions we treat are:

  • Frequent cold and flu bugs
  • Digestive concerns (constipation, diarrhea, tummy aches)
  • Skin concerns (eczema, rashes)
  • Anxiety
  • Poor sleep patterns
