Dr. A. Eloise Cortal, N.D.

As a Naturopathic Physician who specializes in Regenerative Injection Therapies (Prolotherapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections), I'm passionate about understanding the underlying causes of pain and degenerative conditions.  That way I can support the healing and regrowth of an injured area such as muscles, tendons, joints and cartilage for my patients.  

I also excel in identification and balancing of hormonal deficiencies or excesses.  Hormones dictate the robustness of our health, all the way down to a cellular level.  If there is an imbalance, such as of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, thyroid, you will feel it!  For happiness, quality of life and longevity, my patients are happy to have them finally treated.  Many patients say I have "given their life back to them," or "they feel like themselves again."

With each and every patient, I listen fully and provide support and encouragement along the way because I believe that together we can produce long-lasting change and a better quality of life.  By receiving customized and attentive care, my patients are able to make informed decisions about their health and reap the benefits.  I recognize the unique value  and abilities of all my patients and  believe that we all deserve the chance to attain the best possible quality of life and maximal life span.

I love my job. I have the wonderful opportunity to help others in real, profound ways each and every day.  

I balance work-life with play-life by enjoying time with friends and family, tending our small farm-ish acreage, wrangling two wild and crazy dogs, mushroom hunting in the spring and fall and generally trying to lead a good life full of good company and good food.
