Bone and Joint Health

 

At Gould's our experienced practitioners can assist you with a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions - with the added benefit that this occurs in conjunction with supporting and improving your overall health.
 
Some of the bone and joint conditions we are able to effectively improve include, but are not limited to:

 

Acute Injury

During times of injury we are best able to heal when our minds are relaxed and our bodies have the correct balance of nutrients for repair to take place. The addition of carefully chosen foods and/ or supplements can ensure that the rate of healing takes place maximally without causing undue pain and stress.

 

Osteoporosis and Osteopenia

Most people know that calcium is involved in bone strength but it is not so commonly known which forms optimise absorption; nor the other nutrients that play a huge role in bone health such as vitamin D, magnesium, boron, zinc, vitamin K and others. Bone health is negatively impacted on through physical inactivity, poor diet and/ or poor absorption of nutrients as well as a long list of medications. With peak bone mass being reached at around age thirty it is certainly worthwhile considering bone density as a part of your overall health for all ages. In the event that you have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis we can hone your treatment regime to give you the best possible outcome. 
 

Autoimmune Arthritis

 

Affecting a large number of Australians this is a group of disorders our practitioners treat very effectively, oftentimes allowing patients to reduce or even cease their dependence on pharmaceutical medications whilst increasing the quality of their life. In most cases treatment can occur alongside these prescription medications with the “side effects” of our treatments being increased overall health and wellbeing, as well as a reduction in risk factors for other conditions.
 

Osteoarthritis

This common, but debilitating condition is responsible for the global consumption of large quantities of painkillers and a substantial decrease in quality of life for sufferers. We can help you to achieve a reduction in pain and an increase in range of movement naturally. In the event that you undergo joint replacement surgery we can help to support your body before and after this process in order to facilitate a speedy uncomplicated recovery.
 

Gout

This painful condition that lends itself perfectly to naturopathic management. We can educate you to reduce the severity and frequency of attacks through simple dietary and lifestyle modifications as well as help to ease the pain and suffering of an acute attack.
