Innovations Wellness Center Philosophy

By incorporating holistic therapeutics, Dr. Wilson works with each patient as an individual by using naturopathic modalities such as clinical nutrition, oriental medicine, hydrotherapy, mind-body counseling, homeopathy, and botanical medicine to guide her patients towards optimal health and wellness. From illness to life enrichment, her practice focuses on aging well through the development of a personal wellness plan for each patient, as well as women’s health, pain and stress management, addictions and detoxification programs, nutrition and weight control, and providing healthy options for chronic conditions such as cancer, hormone imbalances, hypertension, diabetes management, autoimmune diseases, and fatigue.  Dr. Wilson emphasizes living a healthy lifestyle and preventative medicine for babies through geriatrics.  

Modalities of Interaction

Natural Therapies

Counseling and Stress Management
One’s attitude and mental and emotional states can play important roles in one’s health. Lifestyle counseling, nutritional balancing, stress management, and other mind-body methods are used to maintain optimal health.

Environmental Medicine
Children and adults are now being exposed to greater quantities of chemicals in the environment and food supply. As we age, we accumulate toxins in our body. These chemicals affect our immune system contributing to a variety of chronic health problems including fatigue,depression, hypertension, coronary artery disease, autoimmune disease, neurological conditions, and cancer. Naturopathic detoxification and immune restoration therapies are an important aspect of the maximizing wellness.  In a recent study, healthy adults were tested for 210 of the 80,000 chemicals that are used daily in the United States.  The average number of chemicals found in participants of this study was 91 chemicals.  Our environmental program seeks to identify if a toxin-buildup is a cause of your health problems, and if so, how to best go about reducing your load so that your body can heal itself as it is designed.  

Oriental Medicine
Oriental medicine is a complementary health system to naturopathic medicine. It offers an important understanding of the unity of body, mind, and spirit and believes in strengthening a patient’s vital energy (Qi). By incorporating the Western understanding of medicine, the fundamentals of oriental medicine and diagnosis can be used to support wellness and harmonize imbalances.  Traditional Chinese Medicine can be used to deal with a variety of conditions, such as migraines, sinusitis, addictions, sciatica, arthritis, low back pain, weight loss, infertility, common cold, fibromyalgia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, PMS, irritable bowel, and arthritis.   

Natural Medicine

Clinical Nutrition
The concept, "Food is your best medicine", has been a foundation of naturopathic medicine. A growing body of nutritional knowledge in this area is reflected in numerous professional journals of nutrition and dietary sciences. Medical experts understand that healthy nutrition is the key to wellness and health. Many medical conditions can be treated effectively with foods and nutritional supplements with excellent results.

Botanical Medicine
The use of plant medicine is a core to a natural medicine practice. Plants are powerful medicines when properly used. Quality herbs, correct dosage, and knowledge of potential interactions are essential to effective treatment. Botanical medicines are used in both traditional herbal formulations and as phytomedicines, which are scientifically researched and formulated.  Plants can be used to deal with acute and chronic diseases.  Botanical medicine is commonly used in naturopathic medicine to fight infections, reduce pain and inflammation, tone and heal body organs, increase energy, and induce relaxation and sleep.  In clinical practice, plants are used for ear infections and allergies to menstrual irregularities, insomnia, depression, high blood pressure, and many other conditions.  Botanical medicines come in many different forms, such as liquid extracts, capsules, tablets, or teas.  They are also incorporated into medicinal topical applications such as salves, creams, and oils.  

Homeopathic Medicine
This natural health system is over 200 years old and is widely used in Europe, India, and Brazil. Homeopathic medicine is based on the principle of “like cures like.” Symptoms are seen as the body’s immune system at work and therefore communicate a deeper problem. Some conditions that conventional medicine has no treatment for respond well to homeopathy. Instead of suppressing the symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs, homeopathic medicines assist the body in returning to its natural state of health.  It is important to note that there are some diseases not suitable for homeopathic treatment such as surgical cases and diseases of lifestyle.  

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy has been used for centuries in many traditions to assist the body to heal.  Dr. Wilson has refined this ancient therapeutic art by studying the centuries-old mineral baths in Europe and adapted the techniques to speed the healing of both acute and chronic disease.  By using hot and chold water applications combined with mineralls, the circulation of blood and lymph is regulated and improved.  By enhancing the blood and lymphatic circulation through the major organs of the body, we greatly increase the oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues and removed the metabolic wastes and environmental and drug toxins that may have accumulated in the body.  Hydrotherapy techniques can be used to stimulate the immune response in acute illness such as colds and bronchitis, as well as assist in the treatment of chronic viral infections and other stubborn illnesses.  It is frequently recommended to assist in the long term detoxification process of environmental illness and auto-immune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
