DIAGNOSIS- this is the first step at beginning to understand what it happening within your body. Dr. Buttler uses blood work, saliva testing, muscle testing and many other diagnostic tools to begin assessing your health concerns. Functional analysis is also an important part of Dr. Buttler's diagnostic approach. Functional analysis
is diagnosis through symptomatic expression. Often times there is nothing that comes back on a lab test but you are still experiencing symptoms. Through functional analysis Dr. Buttler can begin understanding the cause of your health problems.
EDUCATION- once a diagnosis is established, Dr. Buttler will begin working with you to help you understand why you are feeling the way you do. There is a saying that goes "Give a person a fish and feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish and feed them for a life
time." Lifestyle education is a significant part of how Dr. Buttler will begin addressing the cause of your symptoms. The focus of lifestyle education is on your nutrition, how you exercise, how you breath, how you sleep and how you deal with stress and emotions. As you begin understanding
your relationships with the decisions you make and how they affect your health, this will empower your body to begin healing.
NUTRITION- Dr. Buttler uses many different therapeutics diets to reduce the amount of inflammation the body is dealing with. He will customize and individualize a nutritional plan for your healthcare needs as you begin treatment. Reducing the nutritional burden is a key component when working with the body
to improve immune function when healing starts to occur.
PHYSICAL MEDICINE (MANIPULATION)- One of Dr. Buttler's specialties and something that makes him a unique naturopathic physician is his ability to manipulate the spine. Naturopathic manipulation technique is very similar to what a chiropractor does but it is gentler and more specific. Maintaining alignment in the spine
will allow the nervous system to achieve optimal function and create a healing environment. This will improve the pain that you are dealing with, which is an important step in the healing process.
DETOXIFICATION/EMOTIONAL THERAPY- A primary treatment of Dr. Buttler's is Biotherapeutic Drainage and Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). Both of these treatments are aimed to optimize overall performance and function within the body. When symptoms such as low energy, difficulty sleeping
and mood disorders are occuring, addressing emotional imbalance while working to detoxify, provides an environment for healing to occur.
