We Have Your Solution

For over four decades, the practitioners at Vital Health have helped thousands of people in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area and around the world, overcome a wide variety of health challenges.

Whether your health challenges are simple, or complex, our comprehensive evaluation process will help us to uncover the underlying mechanism that has resulted in the symptoms you are experiencing.

The first step is to schedule your new patient Complete Bio-Functional Analysis appointment so that we can get down to the root of your health challenges and help you start feeling great again.

We look forward to helping you!

Health Detectives

We are health detectives. We look beyond your symptoms and investigate WHY you are experiencing your symptoms in the first place. Our unique and comprehensive evaluation process allows us to find the "clues" that are essential in identifying the underlying problem. It is only when the underlying cause(s) are identified and addressed that true resolution of health challenges can occur.

Puzzle Solvers

Like the leaves on a tree, symptoms are the visible result of the underlying factors going on inside the body. They are the body's way of telling us that something is wrong. Cutting off the leaves won't solve the problem, because the problem is at the root level. We focus on putting the symptom puzzle pieces together to form a big picture so that we can identify the root cause of your health challenges.

Listen & Care

At your very first visit, we will spend time with you. We will listen to you, and not only hear, but understand your concerns and health objectives. In every visit, you are who matters. Not the next patient, personal endeavors, insurance companies, or business operations - you.
We truly care.

Educators

We believe that knowledge is power. When you understand what your body is communicating to you, what is needed for health, what you can do to help yourself, you have power.

We are committed to helping our patients get the information they need to achieve long lasting results.

three steps to success

Step 1

Identify
the Root Cause

The Complete Bio-Functional Analysis is our exclusive evaluation process, utilizing over 27 different assessment tools, that allows us to act as “Health Detectives” and find the often overlooked “clues” that are essential in identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms and/or why your body is not healing at an optimal level.

Our goal is to discover WHY your body is not functioning properly in the first place – not just chase symptoms.

Uncovering the underlying problem gives us power to resolve it.

Step 2

Follow Your Customized Plan

Your customized Health Recovery and Support Plan will likely consist of acupuncture, nutritional therapy and other healing recommendations.

The nutrition (both dietary and supplements) acts as the raw materials your body needs in order to build, repair and maintain a healthy body.

The acupuncture triggers a cascade of signaling throughout the body, that directs the body in utilizing those resources and restoring function.

Step 3

Enjoy a
Healthier Life

Once you’ve reached your goals, we will continue to be here for you, keeping you healthy and helping you with any challenges that arise along the way.

Unfortunately, life happens. Stresses can mount, we age, and we are bombarded by environmental toxicities that can threaten to reduce our quality of health. Having just a few treatments a year and keeping on top of a customized nutritional program can help offset that.

Also, car accidents and injuries happen. We can help you recover.
