Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting hair-thin needles into specific body points to stimulate energy flow and address conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and emotional health. At Natural Med Therapies, this practice is enhanced with electrical stimulation and moxa warming techniques. Patients often experience immediate relief, with 99% reporting headache reduction after treatment.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy uses highly diluted natural substances to trigger the body's self-healing mechanisms. Dr. Perkins prescribes remedies for anxiety, skin disorders, and chronic conditions, emphasizing minimal side effects. Treatments are FDA-approved and tailored to individual health histories, aligning with the principle of 'like cures like.'
Lab Testing
Our lab testing services utilize advanced technology to identify underlying health issues, including hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies. Partnering with labs like Dutch Diagnostic Solutions, we provide personalized insights to guide treatments. Results inform targeted therapies such as hormone replacement or dietary adjustments for optimal wellness.
Biopuncture
Biopuncture involves injecting natural compounds like Traumeel into acupuncture points to reduce inflammation and pain. This therapy stimulates the immune system and is used for sports injuries and chronic conditions. It is safe, with minimal side effects, and works synergistically with other treatments like massage or dry needling.
Raindrop Therapy
Raindrop Therapy combines aromatherapy and massage to detoxify the body and boost immunity. Essential oils are applied along the spine, followed by heat therapy to enhance absorption. This technique addresses structural alignment and viral infections, offering a holistic approach to physical and emotional wellness.

I have been under the care of Dr. Perkins for almost 2 months. At first, I was skeptical about this type of therapy that the VA recommended - which I told Dr. Perkins. I had reservations if it would help my injuries or not. Dr. Perkins was completely professional, took her time evaluating my issues and set up a plan that would benefit me the most. After a few visits, a trust formed between us that transcends my worries about this type of therapy and I saw progress right away.

My issues are military related (back, neck, leg, foot, and both shoulders) now after 2 months of therapy 2 to 3 times a week, I'm down to just pain from back and neck and reduced issues in my shoulders. Leg pain gone! Foot pain getting alot better. She didn't try to solicit any promotional products - I asked! Cooling gel is awesome! I highly recommend her therapy, advice and healthier living suggestions. As a bonus: Sam (Office Manager) is awesome and is on top of all appointments.

Dr Michelle Perkins and her staff (Sam) are wonderful and caring people and really do a great job with my back pain. Dr Perkins does a complete job to help get rid of my chronic back pain. I had tried using the Veterans Administration and she is hands down much better and does a thorough job on my back to get rid of all my back pain. I highly recommend Dr Perkins!:)
