Overview

The website for this listing now presents the practice under the name Essential Health Group rather than Natural Health Center, though the address and named clinician match the original listing. The site describes an integrated healthcare facility in Medical Lake, Washington, combining family medicine, psychiatry and mental health care, physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, pelvic floor therapy and regenerative medicine at one location. It states the practice is a preferred provider for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

According to the site, regenerative medicine services include platelet-rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood), prolotherapy (an injection technique intended to stimulate tissue repair), placental cord tissue injections, and perineural injections (injections placed around nerves). The site does not specify the source of the placental cord tissue in further detail. It also lists ozone-based therapies, including ozone injections and ultraviolet blood irradiation.
