Generally, the first office visit is one hour, and return office visits are 15-30 minutes, but may be extended up to 45 minutes to an hour. During the first visit, your doctor will be asking you several questions in order to obtain a thorough picture of your present health concerns and your related health history. This visit can include a complaint-oriented physical assessment (meaning it is not a full physical exam). Return office visits include assessment and review to evaluate how you are progressing and how to best proceed with future treatment.

Note: If you have not received and are due for an annual physical exam that includes a breast and PAP examination for women, or prostate examination for men, then a separate visit must be scheduled for these exams. Please contact the clinic to book these appointments - 604-427- (4325)

The elapromed Para-Medical-Aesthetic device uses exclusive transdermalporation technology to enhance the skin’s natural absorption at a cellular level. Used in combination with elaspa’s advanced, science-based formulations, this system can deliver over 90% of the active compounds into the skin compared to most other systems that penetrate only up to 10% of substances into the skin. In addition, low voltage stimulates muscle toning, drains excess fluids for reduced puffiness, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, having a firming, lifting, and regenerating effect on the skin.

The combination of nutrients used, as well as the frequency of IV treatment, will depend on both the condition and or symptoms being treated and the patient’s response to IV therapy.

Injection therapy is used to administer a variety of substances through intramuscular (IM) shots (ie. the injections are administered directly into a muscle, either in the upper arm or the hip). Injection therapy allows for better absorption and utilization of the nutrients by the body compared to oral supplementation alone. The most commonly prescribed nutrients for injection are: vitamin B12 and folic acid, in addition to injectable homeopathics.

Acupuncture is a traditional complementary therapy that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. It is based on a meridian system which constitutes a system of pathways within the human body through which the energy or “qi” (pronounced “chee”) flows. Qi is considered the life force or vital energy essential for maintaining the body’s physiological functions. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the disruption of energy circulating through meridians, which can be caused by stress, emotions, and other external influences, ultimately causes pain and clinical problems. Therefore, by inserting very thin needles through the skin at specific acupuncture points along the meridians, energy blocks and imbalances can be stimulated to moderate the flow of energy and thus relieve specific symptoms associated with disease, improving overall health and wellbeing.
