Therapeutic PRP
What It Does
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been advocated for healing and regeneration.
How It Works
The increased levels of growth factors and proteins provided by the PRP may enhance the wound healing process. Therapeutically, in areas of tissue damage, such as strained ligamentous, tendinous tissue and cartilage, it can prove beneficial in enhancing the rate of healing.
Benefits
- Ligament sprains/strains (eg. ACL, PCL, AC joint etc)
- Muscle tears
- Post-surgery tissue healing and scar reduction
- Tendon injuries (tendonitis, tendonosis, rupture)

How It Works
A food allergy is a change to your physiology that produces a negative immune response to certain foods, or groups of foods. This is generally a fast-acting immune response that can cause swelling, hives, and anaphylaxis. This response is mediated by an antibody called IgE.
What It Does
Food sensitivities are IgG-mediated reactions and can occur anytime within 72 hours of exposure. These reactions most often result in chronic symptoms like cramps, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, low energy, nausea, poor sleep, weight gain, asthma, joint pain and skin rashes/eczema. Symptoms may vary depending on the person and the frequency of exposure.
What to Expect
During Treatment
Our Naturopathic Doctors will take an in-depth medical history which includes food intake and lifestyle habits. Blood tests may be ordered as part of your assessment. Our Naturopathic Doctors take food allergies and sensitivities very seriously.

Medical Weight Loss Program
How It Works
At Quartz we offer a supervised 4-week intensive weight loss program with weekly visits, dietary and lifestyle guidelines, and medical injections. It is highly effective in quick fat loss when combined with a specific high-protein diet for the appropriate amount of time.
What It Does
The average weight loss for one four-week cycle on the Medical Weight Loss program is 15-30 lbs with an average loss of 3-5lbs per week. Individuals usually lose more weight in the first 2-4 weeks and some lose as much as 10-12 lbs in the first week. Programs are individualised and weekly appointments are set to assess progress, administer an in-house energy shot and discuss any concerns and provide support. Daily injections are prepared and provided for one week at a time and education is provided regarding self-injecting the HCG. We have meal plan suggestions as well.
What to Expect
During Treatment
The key to successful weight loss is; to use pharmaceutical medical injections, to follow a strict diet and maintenance protocol, and to be under the direct supervision of a physician. A full patient medical history and complete lab testing is needed prior to any patient going on the HCG program. Using HCG alone will not result in safe, long-term weight loss.
After Treatment
Post-treatment plan is equally important so as to maintain the achieved weight loss.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture & Cupping
What It Does
At Quartz, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) bridges the gap between ancient techniques and modern science to provide holistic treatment plans. Traditional Chinese Medicine can treat a variety of health concerns, alone or in combination with complementary medical treatments.
How It Works
At Quartz, our Naturopathic Doctors use acupuncture to address full body balancing, acute or chronic conditions, fertility, cosmetic acupuncture, mental health, and digestive symptoms.
Cupping can be used as a standalone fascial massage treatment, but it can also be combined with acupuncture in one treatment. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and calm the nervous system.
