  • Natural medicine
  • Patient education
  • Patient partnership

Naturopathic doctors emphasize food and nutrition, vitamins and minerals, herbs, homeopathy, mind-body medicine as well as some forms of physical medicine in their clinical approach.

Naturopathic doctors work with patients to create an environment where balance can be restored and maintained. They focus on providing each individual with the tools they need to take an active role in their own healthcare and wellness. Treatment plans are individualized, safe and should not interfere with any current conventional care you may be receiving.

Dr. Cline Asks some important questions of interest to West Lafayette residents - Chiropractor West Lafayette Dr. Cline Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Where do most West Lafayette residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every West Lafayette newborn.
