To us, every person who sees us is an individual because we know that no two people are the same. Therefore, we offer a number of different treatment options to suit your needs:

School / Sports Pre-Participation Physical Exam
We also offer a complete school/sports physical exam at an affordable price and at convenient appointment times.  For the young student and athlete, we examine the major organ systems as well as a more in-depth screening exam for joint, muscle and ligament integrity and stability.  Not only does the exam rule out any health issues that may affect sports participation, but it provides valuable baseline information in the event that an injury should occur later in the season.  For this very same reason, it is ideal for your athlete to be seen by the doctor that performed their physical if they are injured or have any problems later in the year.  This way the doctor that has seen them previously is familiar with their pre-injury status.

Well Child / Baby Check-Ups
For our youngest patients, wellness starts early in life with regular check-ups.  Building a strong and healthy immune system early is immensely important to avoid immune system dysfunctions later in life.  Our well visits include vital signs and growth charts for you to take home.  The doctor will examine the eyes, nose and throat as well as the heart and lungs, musculoskeletal system and abdomen.  Most importantly, children that learn the value of annual exam to stay well will grow up to be healthy-minded adults.
In the event that your child does get ill, we can examine them and identify the illness.  Strep testing can be done right here in our office.  To help them get better quickly, we offer natural therapies as an alternative to antibiotic therapy.  Over use of antibiotic medications can lead to a weakened immune system and disruption of your child's normal intestinal bacteria leading to more tummy aches and even allergies.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

As we get older, our hormones adjust to new levels. Daily stress, overall poor physical health, and chemical toxins in our environment all contribute to improper hormone balance. Using only FDA Certified Labs, Dr. Hedberg ensures the accuracy of the hormones tested. This is important for females of all ages and older males.

Adrenal Gland Stress Testing

In addition to hormone balance, proper adrenal gland function is important for optimal health. Stress can greatly affect adrenal function, and an accurate reading of the adrenal gland function is vital to providing an accurate diagnosis.

Comprehensive Osteoporosis Testing

Bone health requires the diagnostic screening of mainly four tests. Blood and hair analysis for mineral availability, hormone testing for proper stimulation of the bone cells, and a specialized protein test called Cross Linked Peptide Testing - Dpd Testing. This protein can be found in the blood and urine, and when elevated means there is active osteoporosis occurring.
