Children's Health
Gentle, natural pediatric care that supports your child's healthy development, immune strength, and overall well-being.
Pediatric Naturopathic Care in Scottsdale
Children have remarkable healing potential when given the right support. At Arizona Integrative Medical Center, we provide gentle, effective naturopathic care that helps children thrive - from infancy through adolescence.
Our approach focuses on supporting your child's natural development and immune function rather than suppressing symptoms. We work with parents as partners to create healthy foundations that will benefit your child throughout life.
Our Pediatric Philosophy
Children are not small adults - they have unique physiological needs. We use gentle, age-appropriate natural therapies that work with their developing systems to promote lasting health, not just quick fixes.

Natural ADHD and Focus Support
Many parents seek alternatives to stimulant medications for attention and focus issues. Our approach looks at the underlying factors that may contribute to ADHD symptoms:
- Nutritional Assessment: Identifying deficiencies in omega-3s, zinc, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins
- Food Sensitivity Testing: Eliminating foods that can affect behavior and concentration
- Blood Sugar Balance: Dietary strategies to stabilize energy and focus
- Gut Health: The gut-brain connection affects mood and cognition
- Environmental Factors: Reducing exposure to additives, dyes, and toxins
- Sleep Optimization: Quality sleep is essential for attention and learning
Gentle Testing Options
We offer pediatric-friendly testing including food sensitivity panels, nutritional assessments, and stool testing when needed. We work to make visits comfortable and stress-free for children and parents alike.
Building Strong Immune Systems
If your child seems to catch every bug that comes around, there are effective natural strategies to strengthen their defenses:
Nutrition
Optimizing diet to provide immune-supporting nutrients and reduce inflammatory foods.
Supplementation
Age-appropriate vitamins, probiotics, and immune-supporting herbs when needed.
Lifestyle
Sleep, outdoor time, stress reduction, and other factors that support immune health.
Age-Appropriate Care
We adapt our approach based on your child's developmental stage:
- Infants: Colic, reflux, eczema, sleep issues, breastfeeding support
- Toddlers: Immune support, food introductions, developmental milestones
- School-Age: Allergies, focus and learning, frequent illness, behavior
- Adolescents: Hormonal changes, acne, mood support, sports nutrition

- Listen carefully to your observations and concerns
- Explain our findings and recommendations clearly
- Provide practical, doable treatment plans
