VERTEBRA HEALTH INSTITUTE
A Natural Approach to Healing
Integrative medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses the whole person – mind, body and spirit. We integrate conventional and alternative therapies to prevent and treat disease, and most importantly, to promote optimal health. We work closely with traditional allopathic healthcare providers to ensure our patients receive the best care possible. We invite you to join us on this wonderful journey of healing. Naprapathic treatments offered in our practice are a great way to alleviate back pain, shoulder issues, hip and knee pain, muscle pain and other musculoskeletal problems.
Our Mission
We want our patients to be partners in their own healing. We want them to understand how powerful their minds and bodies really are, and how each organ and symptom is part of a larger system. Healing chronic and intractable ailments takes a certain level of sensitivity, which we’ve honed to treat stubborn conditions with gentle methods.
Our Treatments

We work to create a safe and compassionate environment for you to discover what will help you lead a healthier and more relaxed life. You can live the life you want, and we are here to support you along the way.
NAPRAPATHIC MANUAL MEDICINE
Naprapathic treatment is a combination of gentle manual musculoskeletal manipulations, aiming to decrease pain and disability in the neuromusculoskeletal system. Naprapathic medicine treats connective tissue disorders through connective tissue manipulation to the spine and joints and variety of therapeutic modalities as well as nutiritional counseling.
INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION (IASTM)
Graston Technique® (GT) therapy (a form of IASTM) is successful in effectively treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic, acute or post- surgical.
Our unique technique and instruments enable the treatment of scar tissue and fascial restrictions during rehabilitation that allows for faster rehabilitation and with greater success when the goal is restoring range of motion, eliminating pain, and restoring normal function.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
Kinesio Taping is a technique based on the body’s own natural healing process. It exhibits its efficacy through the activation of neurological and circulatory systems. Kinesiotaping treats sports and non-sports injuries like plantar fasciitis, back pain and tennis elbow effectively with precision that normal braces can’t provide. It microscopically lifts the skin from the muscle and fascia to create a decompressive effect that supports better blood flow for faster healing.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.
THERAPEUTIC LASER
Therapeutic laser is also known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) - is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing of tissues. It is used for pain relief, reducing inflammation, soft-tissue healing, joint pain and arthritis, nerve-related pain, post-injury recovery.
THERAPEUTIC CUPPING
The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite, among other ailments.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
The guidance from a healthcare professional in choosing nutritional supplements is integral to the long-term well being of our patients. We work only with companies who provide the highest quality products available exclusively through licensed health care professionals. We feel it is our responsibility to sort through available options and find the best products to support the health of those who put their trust in us.
ASSISTED STRETCHING
Our trained practitioner moves your body for you to help you achieve a deeper, safer stretch than you can do on your own. Assisted stretching can help to improve flexibility, increase range of motion, reduce muscle tightness, improve posture, relieve tension and stress, enhance performance for athletes and help with injury prevention.
V-10 LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
V10 is a type of non-invasive therapy designed to stimulate lymphatic system and promote the drainage of excess fluid, toxins, and waste from the body. It uses a specialized device to apply suction and massage to the skin, promoting circulation, lymphatic flow, and the breakdown of fat cells. It combines infrared light, radiofrequency and suction massage. It can be also used for body contouring and cellulite reduction.
​About Us
Dr Elizabeth
I’ve been involved with traditional healthcare since 1999. I graduated with master's in science from Medical University majoring in medical research. After working in a hospital setting I’ve decided to return back to school for a doctorate degree in Naprapathic Medicine. Working directly with patients and seeing almost immediate improvement brings me a great satisfaction. I collaborate closely with medical doctors, ensuring patients receive the best medical attention allowing for the best possible outcome.
