Treatment Philosophy

I am committed to providing my patients with the highest standard of care in an individualized way, and will work to find an effective treatment plan optimally suited to your body and your life. Using a combination of the natural methods listed previously, many chronic health problems can be effectively addressed.

You will never hear me say that your symptoms are all in your head, or that you will just have to live with them. It excites me to research the latest, cutting edge natural methods being used around the world, in order to help you. I will work with you to find solutions.

In addition to treating your symptoms, I will also strive to find and treat the root of your imbalance or dis-ease. Using a combination of natural therapies that are both effective and safe, I can help you with symptoms resulting from emotional as well as physical causes. My goal is to help rebalance your system at its core, resulting in genuine, long lasting relief.

My practice consists of science-based natural medicine. While natural medicine is powerful and continues to amaze me on a daily basis, it is not the answer to all problems or the cure for all diseases. I recognize that both conventional and alternative medicine have their place, and will refer when necessary and in your best interest.

I am committed to maintaining an environment conducive to relaxation and healing, and taking the time that is needed to provide knowledgeable answers to your questions and concerns. You will never feel rushed in your appointments at Acorn Natural Medicine.

Please feel welcome to call my office with any questions or for more information. It would be my pleasure to schedule a free, 15-minute consultation about how I can help you with your specific health needs. I look forward to meeting with you.

Treatments and Services

Dr. Fidler uses a variety of Naturopathic and Oriental medicine methods in treatment. Your treatment at Acorn Natural Medicine may consist of any of the following, depending on your preferences and medical needs:

Relevant physical exams.

Lab testing is ordered as needed.

Acupuncture, the gentle insertion of very fine needles on specific points throughout the body. Pain, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, and digestive problems are just a few of the conditions that can be effectively treated with acupuncture. Acupuncture is also a powerful tool to support and maintain optimal health. The needles are one-time use only and are FDA approved.

Acutonics®, the use of tuning forks instead of needles on acupuncture points has similar beneficial effects, though it is limited to treating two points at a time.

Herbal medicine from both the western world and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbal medicine can take many forms (pills, powders or loose herbs brewed as tea). Topical herbal preparations are used to treat skin disorders and pain. Herbs can be used to treat many of the same conditions treated by pharmaceutical drugs, in many cases with far fewer side effects. Herbs can also be used to treat the underlying cause of many disorders.

Physical medicine or bodywork, the use of various hands-on techniques including acupressure, cupping, craniosacral therapy and muscle energy stretching. Acupressure has similar benefits to acupuncture, but is limited in that only 1-2 points can be treated at a time. Cupping can be very effective in treating certain types of back pain. Craniosacral therapy can be helpful for migraines and other types of headaches, in addition to stress reduction. Muscle energy stretching can be helpful in increasing range of motion.

Dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are essential to proper structure and function of the body. Levels that are outside the proper range, either too low or too high, can cause negative effects.

Nutritional advice, integrating current scientific knowledge as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives. Recommendations are made to address deficiency, treat disease, and optimize health.
