“Our modern day society presents many obstacles on our journey toward optimal health. These include environmental toxins, a fast-paced lifestyle, and an over-burdened healthcare system that does not adequately address wellness and prevention. My role as a physician is to be your partner and guide on that journey.”

Using the best of conventional and naturopathic medicine, we equip patients with the necessary tools for optimal health.

Soft Tissue Manipulation

Dr. Howell has incorporated his past experience as a massage therapist and his physical medicine expertise as a naturopathic doctor to create a unique technique to target specific joint and myofascial areas.

He has developed his own technique to reduce restrictions, eliminate pain, and restore motion. Each 10 minute session targets a specific region that is performed directly on skin without oils or lotions.

Physical Medicine

Physical medicine provides comprehensive and customized care plans for relief from chronic pain. It involves the alignment of the physical structure of the body such as bone, joint, muscle, skin, and myofascial tissue to facilitate improved function, movement and decrease pain and inflammation.

Techniques include joint manipulation, similar to chiropractic manipulation and osteopathic manipulation. Other therapies include myofascial manipulation, trigger point therapy, percussive therapy, hydro therapy and soft tissue manipulation.

Heavy Metal Testing

At Arizona Natural Family Medicine, we understand that hidden toxins like heavy metals can be a barrier to achieving optimal health, which is why our comprehensive heavy metal testing is a crucial component of your wellness journey. By identifying the presence of harmful substances in your body, we can tailor personalized detoxification strategies that harness the power of natural medicine. Our commitment to a holistic approach not only aids in restoring balance but also empowers you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your health. Together, we can unveil the unseen challenges and pave the way for a vibrant, toxin-free life.

Prolotherapy (A Non – Surgical Solution to Chronic Pain)

Prolotherapy also called “proliferative therapy” is beneficial for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. It’s a non-surgical alternative treatment that assists the body in healing weakened joints, ligaments, and tendons. A trained physician uses natural substances to inject damaged areas.

Dr. Kent Pomeroy, one of the leading prolotherapists in the country states “Prolotherapy is a therapeutic treatment for pain and joint instability, simply the application of the basic science of healing and repair. It is cost effective, safe, and works when nothing else does. It is just common sense good medicine.”
