Services
At Fusion Natural Health, we restore people’s health and quality of life using a personalized approach. We combine physical therapies with targeted soft tissue injections and naturopathic modalities like nutrition, botanical medicine and lifestyle counseling.
What to Expect
How It Works
Dr. Cara’s approach typically involves a thorough intake visit, which often includes some hands-on service. She then schedules a series of follow up visits over the course of 6-12 months, depending on the severity of your situation and therapeutic goals. A Structural Integration bodywork series is typically ten 60-minute sessions, and injection therapies often involve 3-6 sessions depending on areas treated.
Free Discovery Consult
A short 15-minute discovery consult with Dr. Cara to answer basic questions about our approach and if we are a good fit for your needs.
New Patient Package - New patients should plan to have 3 visits with Dr Cara to get started.
- Initial visit (60 or 90 minutes)
- Follow-up visit 1 (30 or 60 minutes)
- Follow-up visit 2 (30 or 60 minutes)
Initial Visit
An In-depth 60 or 90-minute visit entails a detailed history and get to know about you and your health journey up to now. She may also reviewing any prior medical documents or labs. She will conduct any necessary physical exams and begin a plan for care, that may include additional labs for Naturopathic consults, as well as basic treatment recommendations. Sometimes, a 60 minutes intake will suffice for less complex concerns. For physical medicine patients, this initial visit will usually include 30-45 minutes of treatment.
Follow-Up Visits
30-90 minute visits over the course of 3-12 months.
- The second visit is a time to review new information gathered from labs or initial treatment recommendations, including dietary changes started. It is a chance to fine-tune a treatment and answer questions and clarify the health goals. For physical medicine visits, I will assess structure and function and treat according to goals for pain relief, improved function, or whatever your priority.
- The third visit continues similar to the second visit, continuing to fine tune treatment suggestions, addressing new symptoms if they come up, fine-tuning the health goals and helping you settle in to healthier lifestyle habits.
This is a great START, but for long term health, it’s important to realize that this is far more a journey than a one-stop repair shop. So it is suggested that you plan on the long term relationship, where I can help you stay on track and make adjustments over time to health needs. Most treatment plans are not intended to be continued forever, they are usually a short duration to achieve a goal, and then can be stopped or changed to better fit new goals.
After your initial visit, you may proceed with a few options.
1.) You may pay as you go for each visit, and pay the standard time of service fee per visit. When you start out, it is typical to expect at least 2-3 follow up visits in order to fully implement a treatment plan and track progress.
2.) Purchase a package of visits for a 15% discount: This is ideal for services that will be repeated or bundled. For example, a structural integration series, or multiple injection services to address a condition (like neural therapy, perineural injections, ozone, or other physical medicine) or a targeted naturopathic treatment plan that is bundled with labs to implement a treatment plan and track initial progress.
Conditions Treated
Dr. Cara can treat a wide variety of conditions. While she specializes in musculoskeletal disorders, she also considers underlying factors involved, like digestive or hormonal health.
The principle is that chronic disorders are the result of physiological imbalances throughout your body – possibly from structural misalignments, systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, or hormonal imbalances – made worse by dietary/nutritional factors, stress, emotional and environmental toxins, or other lifestyle habits.
- Acute and Chronic Pain – including tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis, headaches, sciatica, hypermobility pain.
- Digestive disorders – heartburn, IBS, gas/bloating, poor digestion, diarrhea or constipation.
- Skin Conditions – eczema, dermatitis, acne, rosacea
- Anxiety/Stress reduction
- Hormonal concerns – including thyroid, diabetes, and reproductive hormones, including Bio-Identical Hormone therapy.
At Fusion Natural Health, Dr. Cara Orscheln’s integrative approach is based on the following:
- Education is an important tool in working with patients. We educate on a wide range of topics like structural health, movement and alignment, home exercises and self-care, gut health, nutrition, detoxification support, weight loss, metabolic and hormonal conditions and stress or mood management.
- Hands-on therapies to address structure and function
- Holistically oriented with attention to mind, body, emotion and spirit
- Focus on optimal health – not just the absence of symptoms or disease, but thriving
- Inspiring her patients to take an active role in health creation
- Acknowledges the multi-factorial nature of complex situations, requiring a multi-dimensional approach
- A preference for natural, non-toxic therapies – harnessing the body’s ability to heal itself
- We can provide a collaborative care approach between Dr. Cara, other allied health partners, and patient. Many patients have other providers in their care circle, including PCP’s, specialists, or other holistic providers like acupuncturists or nutritionists. If you would like me to collaborate with these providers more closely, I am happy to provide records with your consent.
