Our skilled physicians are able to prescribe any conventional medication, but, of course, they prefer and take pride in using natural remedies and prayer for the recovery of our patients. We offer a wide selection of treatments from enemas to blood transfusions. We have had great success in the use of hydrotherapy, massage, exercise, diet counseling, and botanical medicine. Hydrotherapy
The treatments may last anything from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the condition of the patient and the severity of the case. For more in-depth information on our hydrotherapy treatments click here. Massage
Exercise Exercise is invaluable in promoting wellness, resistance to disease, and recovery from disease. One common feature of many chronic diseases is that the ability of the “power plants” of cells to produce energy is compromised. This is known as a “mitochondrial deficiency,” and it is a condition that is involved in chronic conditions such as:
The good news is that regular exercise increases the number and relative volume of these powerhouses in skeletal muscle. Regular, moderate aerobic exercise slows the heart rate, lowers triglycerides, elevates HDL (the “good” cholesterol), keeps the arteries elastic, and increases the number and efficiency of white blood cells that help the body combat viruses and cancer more successfully. At Wildwood, your physician will first evaluate your fitness level and then recommend a course of the best form of exercise known - terrain therapy - also known as “walking.” From flat walkways to rolling hills, Wildwood has a delightful variety of trails and routes to accommodate a wide range of physical abilities. If you are unsteady on your feet, we have parallel bars and a physical therapist to help you regain better balance. In addition, we provide a daily stretch class under the supervision of a trained instructor, and you have the additional option of working out in the exercise room using resistance exercises should you so choose. If you're still feeling unmotivated, your personal lifestyle coach is never far away to offer that timely support and encouragement!
Diet counseling is an important part of the treatment of all of our patients. It is a well-established truth that there is a direct link between diet and health. During your stay, you will be interviewed about your previous nutritional choices and receive feedback and advice on what dietary plan is best for enhancing healing and boosting your immune system. Botanical Medicine Botanical medicine is the use of plants as an aid to healing. Plants are used for their medicinal values, especially in stimulating the immune system and quickening your recovery. Botanical medicine offers the benefits of drugs without the marked side effects.

Hydrotherapy is the internal or external use of water in any of its three forms—liquid, steam, or ice—for the treatment of disease or trauma. Here at Wildwood Lifestyle Center and Hospital we have the capacity to give over 30 different types of hydrotherapy treatments, including:
All of our guests will receive massage treatments from one of our experienced massage therapists. Massage helps the circulation, aids in relaxation, relieves tight, hurting muscles, improves the immune system, and brings fresh blood to the areas needed. Massage is combined with the hydrotherapy treatment to give maximum health benefits to our patients. We have a comfortable spa that is equipped with massage tables and special oils for our guests' different needs.
