CHILDHOOD FAILURE TO THRIVE

Our goal is provide safe, natural pediatric care – combining the best of Western medicine with naturopathic medicine principles. We seek to avoid drugs and surgery, unless necessary, and treat the root cause of your child's condition with natural medicine.

Failure to thrive is defined by poor weight gain and physical growth over an extended period of time. Serious medical causes must be ruled out, as well as other causes including food allergies.

Naturopathic pediatric therapies for failure to thrive include assessing digestion, nutrition, and assimilation of food. Therapies include diet modification, supplementation, and homeopathy, as well as assessing the mother’s overall health and breast milk quality.
