Telemedicine & Virtual Consultations
Distance shouldn't stand between you and the care you need. We offer secure virtual visits alongside our in-person care, for patients across the country and beyond.
Is Telemedicine for You?
Some patients aren't able to drive to our office, don't have a schedule that allows an in-person visit, or live in another part of the country. We don't think distance should stand between you and the care you need.
For patient convenience, we offer both in-person visits and virtual health consultations, also called “telemedicine.” We currently see patients across the country and even outside the United States. Contact us with any questions — we're here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I communicate with the doctor?
Communication happens by phone or through the secure video platform built into our HIPAA-compliant electronic health record (EHR) system — not consumer apps like Skype or FaceTime — so your health information stays private and protected.
What if I need labs or natural medicine products?
We work with labs across the United States, and many tests can be run at home using take-home kits we provide. Any natural medicine products ship directly to your door — or wherever you're staying, including a hotel while traveling.
What if I want to fly out for one of my visits?
We're located about 50 minutes north of Denver International Airport, just off I-25, with plenty of lodging options nearby in Longmont or Loveland.
More About Virtual Health Consultations
Our HIPAA-protected EHR video platform lets us do more than talk — we can visually examine your concerns, share lab results, and walk through diagrams to help you understand your condition. We use secure screen sharing so you can see exactly what we're looking at.
Many patients choose telemedicine when they can't make it into the office — whether they're out of state, traveling, or working around a scheduling conflict. It's also helped us stay connected with patients and avoid gaps in care during natural disasters and other emergencies.
Many of the labs we use offer take-home versions of their tests that are just as accurate as what we'd run in-office. For diagnostics like bloodwork, we're networked with laboratories nationwide, so convenient access is available in nearly any state.
Telemedicine appointments are treated the same as our in-office visits. Your first appointment typically runs 60–90 minutes depending on the complexity of your case, with follow-ups from 15–60 minutes. Please have any old labs ready in advance, and a written timeline of your symptoms or a food diary can help us too.

There are several different types of headaches. Seeking medical care for proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment is important to successful management of headaches. If you are taking over-the-counter pain medications more than 2–3 times per week for headaches you owe it to yourself to get help for your headaches.
Tension Headache
The majority of headaches are what we call tension headaches and are related to stress, muscular tension and often poor posture. Tension headaches are the most common form of headache pain. Tension headaches often start in the back of the head and move into pain in the temples and behind the eyes. These headaches often occur in the afternoon and can feel like the head is being squeezed. Tension headaches are typically caused by problems in the neck and upper back. Muscular tension in this region leads to headache pain. Taking prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers does nothing to address the cause of the headaches; thus they continue to occur and usually become more frequent. As this happens more and more of the pain relievers are needed. Taking even moderate doses of over-the-counter pain relievers can lead to far more serious problems than a headache. Chiropractic care, massage therapy and acupuncture can all help end your suffering without having to take all the pills.
Hormonally Linked Headache
For women, many headaches can be linked to hormonal changes during their monthly cycle or during menopause and the time leading up to this. Headache is a common pre-menstrual complaint. In these cases, assessment of hormones can allow abnormal fluctuation to be controlled and thus easing headache pain as well as other menstrual symptoms. Link to female hormone info
Migraine
Migraine headaches are severe headaches which have a vascular cause. Migraine headaches are brought on by an increased blood flow to the brain. What causes this increased blood flow is not known; however, many people have triggers which seem to bring on their migraines. A migraine headache often will come on suddenly and last for a prolonged period of time. Depending on the severity of the migraine many suffers are extremely sensitive to light and sounds. For many people a migraine makes is impossible to carry out their daily activities.
Analgesic medications are often poorly effective for migraine headaches. To be successful with migraine management a through evaluation of possible triggers including evaluation of possible food allergies or hormonal fluctuations must be done. Management includes avoidance of these triggers once identified. Treatment can be as simple as mineral replacement or neurotransmitter balancing. Chiropractic care and acupuncture have a very successful track record with all kinds of headaches. Be sure to contact our office to consult with a Doctor. Seeking treatment between migraines or very early on in a headache is the most effective.
