Naturopathic Medicine:

Our Naturopathic physicians are licensed primary care physicians who are trained as specialists in preventative medicine and natural therapeutics. Naturopathic physicians are dedicated to offering our patients the best of alternative and conventional medicine for optimal health.

Acupuncture:

This 300 year old style of treatment stimulates the natural healing processes of the body to heal itself by placing hair-thin needles in specific areas of the body. Acupuncture can be used to treat cold/flu symptoms, stress relief, pain relief, painful menstruation and PMS as well as a host of other conditions. Our physicians are all licensed through the State Of Arizona to perform these services.

Bone Densitometry:

Analysis used to screen and monitor osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density, leading to bone fragility and an increase in fracture risk. For most, osteoporosis is a preventable disease and should be detected early.

Body Composition:

Analysis used to determine body fat percentage. Our DEXA scanner is even more accurate than hydrostatic testing. Establishing a baseline body fat is important information when you are evaluating your total health picture, weight loss, or when setting physical fitness goals.

Biolmpedence Analysis (BIA):

A useful tool to assess the actual age of your body vs. the biological age by measuring your lean body mass, percent body fat, waist to hip ratio, basal metabolic rate and blood pressure. It is also used to assess the health of your cells and body hydration status.

Blood Work:

Our Spire profile looks at serum macro minerals/electrolytes, proteins, enzymes, red blood cells, white blood cells, lipids, thyroid function and others to give us insight into the physiological functions of many organs including liver, kidney, adrenal, thyroid and immune systems. A urine sample is also sent in for microscopic evaluation. Our doctors then analyze your blood and urine using optimal ranges to help rule out diseases and also look for functional problems within the body.

EKG:

An electrocardiogram is a noninvasive test that records the electric activity of the heart. The electrical activity is related to the impulses that travel through the heart to determine the heart's rate and rhythm. This test will help to determine if a heart attack has occurred, what part of the heart was damaged, if there are any irregular heart beats or rhythm and if there is a decreased supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.

Instant Urinalysis:

A microscopic evaluation of your urine can give us clues about infection, body hydration, disease process, stress, diet, and metabolic dysfunction.

Instant Cholesterol and Glucose Testing:

Cholesterol plays a significant role in coronary heart disease and lowering cholesterol reduces your risk for coronary heart disease. Elevated triglycerides may also be a risk factor for coronary heart disease.

Glucose is the major energy source for the body and is necessary for the growth and functioning of every cell. Blood glucose levels are maintained within a narrow range. Values outside of this range can indicate a disease state.

We now offer total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose testing which can be measured simultaneously from a single drop of blood using rapid, accurate technology.

Salivary Hormone Testing:

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance can include fatigue, mood swings, libido changes, insulin resistance, excessive weight, decreased mental skills, and more. By restoring balance, we resolve symptoms of unhealthy aging. Salivary hormone tests measure bioavailable hormones in your body. Samples are collected at specific times to accurately reflect hormonal secretion patterns over cycles. Your hormonal profile may include one or more of the following: Andrenocortex Stress Profile which includes DHEA and Cortisol, Male Hormone Profile, Female Hormone Profile, Menopause Profile, and Thyroid Profile.

Stool Analysis:

Maldigestion can result in GI symptoms such as gas and bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation. Altered gut flora and inflammation compromise absorption, contributing to deficiencies of nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These problems can lead to various GI disorders as well as many systemic and chronic illnesses. This test offers a comprehensive look at the health of the gastrointestinal tract, providing information about digestion, absorption, bacterial balance, yeast overgrowth, parasitology, inflammation, metabolic activity and immune function.

Hair Analysis:

Toxic metal poisoning is a prevalent health concern today that often goes undiagnosed. Hair analysis shows mineral patterns associated with stress, blood sugar imbalance, glandular imbalances, abnormal biochemical energy production, toxic metal poisoning, and other important health information. The growing hair shaft is richly supplied with blood and elements and theses are incorporated into the growing hair proteins. Toxic metals block normal physiological functioning and removal of these metals through a properly designed nutritional program often brings about an improvement in one's health.

Microdermabrasion:

This is a non-surgical, non-chemical, non-invasive method of skin resurfacing. The procedure is done with a "magic wand" and can reduce acne scaring, lessen the appearance of large pores, diminish age spots, and soften fine wrinkles. This therapy will give your skin a terrific glow.

Intravenous Vitamin Therapy:

Our doctors have compiled a "Spire Cocktail" full of vitamins and minerals to help you out during times of illness such as colds, flu, decreased immunity or just to give yourself a boost if feeling fatigued.

Vitamin B12 Shots:

Vitamin B12 is essential for proper functioning of the central nervous system and in protein, carbohydrate, and fatty acid metabolism. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common and can often result in neurological, cerebral, and emotional abnormalities.

Natural Pharmacy:

Our physicians can customize proper supplementation based on your findings. Our pharmacy is stocked with vitamins, minerals, detoxification factors, medical foods, botanicals, and many other important wellness products.

Electrodermal Testing:

This is a non-invasive comprehensive meridian stress assessment to determine appropriate ways to achieve healthy energetic balance. This process involved measuring electrical conductivity at responsive points on the skin, typically the hands and feet. This assessment can find unknown areas of stress, conduct nutritional evaluations and suggest appropriate nutrients, herbs, and homeopathics to support your health, consider different treatment approaches for a more balanced energetic state of health and find ways to help you maintain the structural and functional integrity your body deserves.

Nutritional Live Cell Microscopy:

Optimize your health by having a physician objectively analyze your live blood cells and the blood's environment to assess digestive function, free radical damage and liver health status.

Weight Loss:

Your body has been using the food you eat for energy and storing any surplus calories as fat. In order to lose weight, your body has to begin to burn it's own fat for energy. Our "Weight No More" program is a physician supervised natural weight loss plan designed to take weight off quickly and safely. Most importantly, the weight will stay off!
