Testing:

Conventional medical assessments use blood work and diagnostic imaging to diagnose and monitor illness. However, in many cases a patient will present with physical complaints that are not diagnosable through the above methods. Dr. Sjovold uses a wide range of non-invasive diagnostic tests or tools which analyze blood, hair, urine, saliva, or stool samples. These tests provide unique information about food and environmental allergens, hormones, neurotransmitters, nutritional factors, heavy metals and other toxic substances. It is these tests that often help to identify the imbalances underlying a patient’s physical complaints.
