Naturopathic Medicine at Coquitlam Physio & Health
At Coquitlam Physio & Health, we believe that true longevity requires a marriage of internal physiology and external strength. Our Naturopathic care, led by Dr. Grace Ni, moves beyond managing symptoms to optimizing your entire metabolic and hormonal landscape.
By combining advanced diagnostics—such as comprehensive hormone panels and gut health analysis—with medical-grade interventions like IV Nutrient Therapy, we provide a scientific roadmap for long-term resilience. Whether you are navigating the physiological shifts of menopause or seeking to reverse cardiometabolic risk factors, our approach is rooted in education, transparency, and clinical data.
Our Naturopathic department is built on these three foundational pillars of integrative health:
Evidence-Informed Hormone Therapy
Specialized care for Menopause and Perimenopause, utilizing comprehensive assessments and hormone replacement (when appropriate) combined with strength-focused lifestyle planning.
Metabolic & Preventive Excellence
Targeted management for hypertension, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance, focusing on body composition optimization and long-term cardiometabolic health.
Advanced Nutrient & IV Therapy
Precision-targeted IV therapy for iron deficiency, NAD+, and glutathione to accelerate recovery, boost energy, and optimize micronutrient levels.
Specialized Naturopathic Programs
Our integrative Naturopathic programs bridge the gap between evidence-based hormone therapy and long-term metabolic resilience, utilizing advanced diagnostics to resolve chronic dysfunction and optimize your health from the inside out.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between "Relaxation" and "Clinical" Massage?
While relaxation massage focuses on general stress, our Clinical RMT approach is results-driven. We use deeper pressure, PNF stretching, and joint mobilizations to fix the root cause of your pain, whether it’s “desk neck,” a sports injury, or chronic sciatica.
What can I expect during a "Complimentary Discovery Call"?
We value your time and believe trust should come before treatment. These brief 10-minute sessions allow you to connect with our Naturopathic Doctor, clarify your concerns—whether it’s hormonal shifts, gut health, or fatigue—and determine if our integrative approach is the right fit for your goals without any pressure.
Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by insurance?
Yes. Most extended health care plans in British Columbia provide coverage for Naturopathic Doctors. We provide transparent billing so you can easily submit your claims for reimbursement. Many patients use their RMT, Physio, and Naturopathic benefits together for a total recovery plan
Can Naturopathic care help with Menopause and Perimenopause?
This is a core specialty at our clinic. As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Dr. Grace provides evidence-informed clarity on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). We focus on long-term resilience, including bone density, muscle mass, and heart health, helping women thrive through hormonal transitions.
Which private insurance providers do you bill directly?
We offer on-site direct billing for all major providers, including Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, and Desjardins. Our administrative team uses the Jane booking platform and Telus Adjudicare to process your claims instantly at the time of your appointment.
How does IV Nutrient Therapy work for fatigue and recovery?
When nutrients are taken orally, much is lost during digestion. IV Therapy (including Iron Sucrose, NAD+, and Glutathione) delivers medical-grade micronutrients directly into the bloodstream for 100% absorption. This is highly effective for rapid recovery from iron deficiency, chronic fatigue, or intense athletic training.
Can a Naturopath help me manage my chronic medications?
Our goal is integrative management. For patients with hypertension, high cholesterol, or insulin resistance, we focus on metabolic optimization and body composition. Many patients find that by improving their internal health, they can work with their primary care team to safely lower or eliminate certain medications.
Does Naturopathic care include Botox or Injections?
Yes. We offer both Cosmetic and Therapeutic Botox. While it is excellent for softening fine lines, it is also a powerful tool for treating TMJ (jaw tension) and chronic migraines. Additionally, we provide advanced injection therapies for soft tissue pain and are expanding into ultrasound-guided joint injections.
Do I need a referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor?
No referral is necessary. Whether you are dealing with a specific condition like PCOS or IBS, or you simply want to optimize your metabolic health for longevity, you can book directly with us to begin your journey toward peak function.
