	Dr. Carlos Santo What Treatments does Dr. Santo practice?
	Although Dr. Santo is trained in and will sometimes use conventional medical diagnosis and laboratory techniques, he prefers to utilize natural methods such as clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, oriental medicine and physical medicine to restore health and treating disease.

	Clinical Nutrition Clinical Nutrition, or the use of diet as therapy, serves as a foundation of Naturopathic Medicine. There is ever increasing scientific evidence supporting the use of whole foods and supplements. It is possible to effectively treat many conditions by dietary measures alone. Some examples include acne, arthritis, asthma, depression, eczema, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome and pre-menstrual syndrome. Your treatment would include an in-depth analysis of your nutritional status. Specific diets, vitamins, minerals and other supplements are used as safe and effective agents of healing.



	Lifestyle Counseling and Stress Management Programs can be provided to modify detrimental factors in connection to lifestyle, diet and environment. This includes assessing risk factors such as exercise, sleep patterns, job stress etc. Medical doctors now admit that stress plays a major role in over 85% of all disease.
	Homeopathic Medicine First developed in Germany in the 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, this modality uses minute amounts of animal, mineral and plant substances to stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanism.
	Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient (5000 year old) Chinese system of medicine involving the stimulation of specific points on the body to enhance the flow of vital energy (chi) along pathways called meridians.
	Botanical (Herbal) Medicine The use of whole plants individually and in combination administered in capsule, liquid or tablet form helps the body help itself by strengthening various systems. Naturopathic Doctors are professionally trained herbalists and know both the historical uses of plants as well as modern pharmacological mechanisms.
	Spinal Manipulation There are occasions when your spine slips out of alignment, causing shooting pains, stiffness and more often than you realize, headaches, numbness and tingling. The pain you tend to feel in your back or neck is caused by spinal misalignment, which in turn causes muscles to tense up. To overcome this Dr. Santo can gently adjust your spine, restoring its structure and easing your pain.
