Specialized Treatments
Beyond primary care, Dr. Bacon also offers specialized, highly effective treatments for two very common health challenges: joint pain and weight gain.

Regenerative Injection Therapy – Regenerative Injection Therapy (a.k.a. Prolotherapy) is an injection technique used to treat joint pain and instability that works by stimulating the body’s natural ability to build new connective tissue.  It has an incredibly high success rate, works quickly, is very safe, has minimal side effects, and is a fraction of the cost of surgery.
Weight Loss – Dr. Bacon approaches weight loss from a naturopathic prospective, providing natural, safe, and effective options for a healthy diet and lifestyle, which promotes permanent weight loss.  Her program addresses the underlying causes of weight gain and is individualized to each patient. She has helped over 500 patients achieve their weight loss goals.
At the heart of Dr. Bacon’s work with every patient is both listening and teaching. She believes that true healing comes when a person feels heard and is empowered with the knowledge and tools to improve their own health.
