OUR CHILDREN’S WELL-CARE PLAN
Not only do we care about what the child will become tomorrow, but we also care about who they are today! Their current health will effect their future well being which is why we focus on well-childcare as a key component of our pediatric patients treatment plans, not just sick care!

TREATMENTS
CHILDREN’S HEALTH CONDITIONS TREATED
Most parents know the basics of keeping their child healthy, but what happens when a chronic condition shows up or emotional issues appear? We can provide naturopathic care for the following conditions:
ADHD
At KIH, the Neurodevelopment program is one that is uniquely designed to meet your child’s individual needs. Starting with the basics (intake, digestion, and sleep), this program will include effective strategies to improve focus, attention, impulsivity and other behavioral traits.
Allergies and skin conditions
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder, Pervasive Development Disorder and other neurodevelopment disorders are reaching epidemic proportions. Today 1/68 children are diagnosed with ASD alone. In Canada over the past 10 years, the prevalence has increased by over 100%.
Since ASD is defined as a spectrum, no two children present the same! To varying degrees, these children may experience difficulty with social interaction and communication and may demonstrate restricted and repetitive behaviors. Research has shown that genetic and environmental factors are linked to ASD. Since our genetics are influenced by our environment, naturopathic medicine plays a major role in supporting a healthy internal environment for children with ASD.
colds and ear infections
Does your child experience multiple ear infections (or other infections) each year? Have antibiotics become a regular course of treatment? Is your doctor talking to you about putting tubes in your child’s ears but you are not so certain that’s the next best step?
