Our services are rooted in functional medicine, and we offer our patients numerous additional services to complete their healthcare picture. We start with the basics: food as medicine, sleep, lifestyle, supplements, stress reduction, balancing hormones, reducing toxins, and general education. Then, we move deeper as needed to address underlying health issues. We’re committed to providing our patients the best healthcare possible and continue to add complementary services to support patients on their wellness journeys.
Schedule an Appointment Conditions we SupportFunctional medicine is at the heart of what we do at Turnpaugh Health. Functional medicine centers around the optimal functioning of the body and its organs. Functional medicine is an evolution in medicine that better addresses and corrects underlying causes of chronic disease while working together as a team towards a goal of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Functional medicine addresses the whole person and not just your symptoms. Each patient is unique, so we believe your care plan should also be.
At Turnpaugh, our approach to health, especially functional medicine, is unique to our practice and has been specialized and individualized over the last 25 years of practice. We believe in developing relationships with our patients and asking questions that help to get to the root cause of disease and disorders. We run complete diagnostic testing that is individualized to each patient. The providers at Turnpaugh take the time to explain to patients what our findings are and then work together to develop a care plan.
By addressing your concerns at its core, you are given more than temporary relief from symptoms, instead, we offer a lifetime of wellness. Functional medicine is patient-centered care which addresses a patient’s environment, genetics, physiology, mental health and how these factors work together. Our patients often tell us that they have been to more than ten providers who look at each symptom as being unique instead of our approach which is the understanding that the entire body works together. The ultimate goal of functional medicine is that your lab numbers improve and that your health improves as well.

Schedule an AppointmentThe PEMF technology uses low frequency energy fields that are being pulsed as you utilize the mat.
What is PEMF Therapy?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. There are several methods by which PEMF therapy can be administered, in our office, we use a full-body therapeutic mat. These mats emit electromagnetic waves at very low frequencies to recharge unhealthy cells and restore the body’s natural self-healing process. The frequencies are similar to that of the electromagnetic waves found in nature. They are not nearly as high as those produced by microwaves, X-ray machines, etc. which can be harmful to the body.
How does PEMF Therapy work?
The cells in your body carry positive and negative charges. These charges allow for the exchange of potassium, sodium, and calcium ions, which your body needs to function properly. Over time, or with injury, your cells can get damaged and no longer carry these magnetic charges. This does not allow for the necessary exchange of ions in the body. PEMF mats emit electromagnetic waves to target your damaged cells and restore healthy charges to them. Different levels of frequencies target different tissues and cells in your body. Our bodies need to be exposed to low-frequency waves in order for our cells to keep their positive and negative charges. This can help decrease inflammation, increase circulation, reduce the effects of stress, accelerate bone healing, and more.
“The trillions of cells of your body maintain stored energy, or voltage, that represents the ability to execute the functions that keep you alive. When cells lose voltage due to environmental stressors, lack of exercise, injury, or inadequate nutrition it creates an environment for the onset of dysfunction that can lead to illness and chronic pain. Drafting on the mid-20th century laboratory work of Harold Saxton Burr at Yale that identified the link between measurable imbalances in the electrical field of an organ and the onset of illness, Dr. Jerry Tennant states in Healing is Voltage that cells, like batteries, are designed to run at -20 to -25 mV. When voltage levels drop cells struggle to function creating an environment for chronic pain and disease. The rapidly changing field of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has been observed to induce an electric current in the tissue, producing stimulation of charged particles in support of optimizing the voltage necessary to maintain energy for normal cellular function.”
What can PEMF/PULSE Therapy be used for?
The brain needs more than just rest. It needs active nutrients and reduction of inflammation as well as supportive blood flow and oxygen to increase the healing time and the probability of a full recovery.
Benefits
This is the exact approach and environment our family was searching for to be our care partners. On our first visit we felt welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The entire staff was lovely. Amy was just outstanding with our son, he loved her, and was very comfortable. They are not judgemental here and respect individual choices and decisions. It was more like talking with your friend and figuring things out together, and making a health plan best for you instead of being just another number and being "shamed, bullied, or told what to do just because the doc said so". We have definitely found our home❣ Thank you Turnpaugh team! Mary
