What type of acute urgent care services does Aspen offer?
Our naturopathic physicians will do a thorough physical exam and evaluation to determine if we can manage your health concern or if you need to be sent to the ER. Often times we can properly manage your concern by using the following therapies:
- IV Therapy – can be extremely helpful for acute infections such as Covid-19 or the flu. Our physician formulated IVs boost the immune system, calm down inflammation, and have antimicrobial properties to help your body heal faster from acute respiratory infections, sinusitis, and much more.
- Botanical Medicine – our physicians may prescribe a pre-made capsule or formulate a tincture specifically for your condition and constitution.
- Deep Tissue Laser Therapy – non-invasive and fast pain relief and tissue regeneration to help you recover from an acute fracture, sprain, strain, or other musculoskeletal concern.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – this is a MUST for any acute brain injury, concussion, and stroke. It floods your body with oxygen under higher atmospheric pressure to stimulate immediate healing.
- Nutritional Supplementation – you can recover rapidly from an acute concern by supplementing the right vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
- Medications – we frequently call upon pharmaceuticals to match the severity of the condition. Whether that is antibiotics, steroids, etc we have you covered.
