Services
Naturopathic Consultation
Our naturopathic consultations combine detailed health assessments with evidence-based diagnostics to create personalized treatment plans. We specialize in addressing complex chronic conditions through root-cause analysis, integrating acupuncture, botanical medicine, and lifestyle modifications. Each session includes comprehensive review of symptoms, lab results, and treatment progress to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Acupuncture
This traditional Chinese medicine technique uses fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain management and systemic balance. Our certified practitioners employ acupuncture to treat chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and hormonal imbalances. Sessions incorporate modern neuroanatomy understanding while maintaining traditional meridian principles for comprehensive therapeutic effects.
Glutathione Inhalation
Targeted antioxidant therapy delivered through inhalation for respiratory and immune system support. This treatment addresses oxidative stress in patients with chronic illnesses like mold toxicity and chemical sensitivities. The protocol includes precise dosing and administration techniques to maximize cellular absorption and detoxification benefits.
Chinese Cupping
Ancient therapy using controlled suction to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. Our practitioners apply cupping techniques to address chronic pain, sports injuries, and stress-related musculoskeletal conditions. The treatment protocol integrates modern understanding of fascial networks with traditional Chinese medicine principles for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
Vitamin B12 Injection
Direct intramuscular administration of methylcobalamin for rapid cellular absorption. This essential nutrient supports energy production, neurological function, and red blood cell formation. Our protocol addresses deficiencies linked to chronic fatigue, pernicious anemia, and malabsorption conditions through precisely measured dosing and administration schedules.

My family and I have been attending the Family Naturopathic Clinic for years. Dr. Cremanaru is a talented acupuncturist, and he and his team have been invaluable in first diagnosing and then offering alternative natural remedies to treat a variety of ailments. Booking appointments is simple with their online tool and the staff at FNC are professional, responsive, readily available, and always easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Dr. Val is an amazing naturopath, very knowledgeable and professional. He is extremely easy to talk to, listens to your concerns and offers solutions without pressuring you into buying anything. You truly feel that he cares for your health. I went to him with quite a few health concerns, and after several acupuncture sessions and B12 shots I can definitely say my health has improved. I would definitely recommend Dr. Val to anyone who is looking for a naturopath.
