Proactive wellness at Northwest Integrated Health
Dr. Christina Fisher of Northwest Integrated Health visits with a client. Voted the North Idaho Business Journal Best Of 2024's best holistic health care clinic, Northwest Integrated Health offers a variety of treatments and services that focus on preventing illness and caring for the whole person rather than treating symptoms of disease.
The diverse aspects of health and wellness require different approaches for different people.
Northwest Integrated Health offers a personalized, integrative approach that isn't typically found in larger health care systems.
"We focus on treating the whole person and attempt to prevent illness, rather than treat symptoms of disease," Northwest Integrated Health office manager Chantel Klundt said. "Unlike traditional health care systems, where you might feel like just another number, at Northwest Integrated Health, we take the time to get to know you, understand your health goals and work closely with you to achieve them."
Northwest Integrated Health at 850 W. Ironwood Drive, Ste. 102, Coeur d'Alene, offers a range of treatments designed to optimize patient health.
Some of its most popular treatments include:
• Chiropractic care: This focuses on the alignment of the spine and joints to improve overall body function and relieve pain. It's particularly effective for back pain, neck pain and headaches.
• Massage therapy: Helps relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and reduce stress. It’s not just about relaxation; it’s also a powerful tool for managing chronic pain and enhancing physical recovery.
• Hormone replacement therapy: Helps balance hormone levels, particularly in men and women with low reproductive hormone production. It can help with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low motivation, poor recovery and mood swings.
• IV nutrient therapy: This involves delivering vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. This aims to boost the immune system, improve energy levels and enhancing overall wellness.
• Medical aesthetics: Treatments like Botox, Dysport, fillers, Sculptra and skin rejuvenation to help clients look and feel their best. These services are designed to enhance natural beauty and boost confidence.
These treatments are ideal for anyone looking to improve their overall health and wellness, not just those dealing with illness or pain, said Dr. Christina Fisher, a family nurse practitioner who earned her doctoral degree from Gonzaga University.
"Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance your performance, someone dealing with chronic pain or fatigue, or simply wanting to feel and look your best as you age, we have something for you," Fisher said. "We tailor our treatments to each individual, so every adult can benefit from our services."
Northwest Integrated Health focuses on treating the whole person and working toward illness prevention, rather than treating symptoms of disease.
One way staff professionals tune into what's best for their clients is through biochemistry, the study of the chemical processes that occur within the body.
"It’s all about understanding how your body’s cells interact with each other and how different substances, like hormones, nutrients and supplements affect your health," said chiropractic physician Burk Thomas.
"Paying attention to your biochemistry means being mindful of what you’re putting into your body, how you’re treating it, and how different factors —like diet, exercise, sleep and stress —are impacting your health at a cellular level," he said. "By focusing on biochemistry, we can help you achieve a more balanced and healthier life."
Patients might consider Northwest Integrated Health's approach because it offers a comprehensive perspective that focuses on long-term wellness rather than quick fixes.
"We address the root cause of health issues, which can lead to more sustainable and effective results," Fisher said. "If you’re tired of feeling like your concerns are being brushed aside or if you’re looking for a more natural, personalized approach to healthcare, then Northwest Integrated Health might be the right fit for you."
Northwest Integrated Health works with many insurance providers, although some treatments may not be covered under certain plans. It also does not take Medicare or Medicaid.
"We are working on payment plans and loyalty programs to assist with the financial burden of services not covered by insurance, or people who are cash pay," Klundt said. "Our goal is to ensure that everyone who seeks our care can receive it, regardless of their financial situation."
Fisher shared a reminder that health is not just the absence of illness, but a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
"At Northwest Integrated Health, we’re here to support you on your journey to optimal health, and we look forward to helping you achieve your wellness goals," she said. "Whether you’re looking to address a specific health issue or simply want to maintain your health, we’re here to provide the guidance, support and care you need."
