CANYON RANCH MEDICINE

Canyon Ranch Medicine is a new paradigm of health care, one that is comprehensive in scope and expansive in treatment options. Our professionals search for the underlying cause of disorders, and uncover the patterns that may be working to influence your health. We’ll help you plan for the long term. Your personal map to wellness will be designed based on your history and cutting-edge laboratory data, and may include both non-traditional (herbs, supplements, acupuncture, mind-body, etc.) as well as conventional Western treatments. We will be happy to share information with your physician at home, at your request.

Note: We suggest that you book medical services early in your stay so you’ll have time for testing and follow-up care if necessary.

PREVENTIVE & INTEGRATIVE PHYSICIAN CONSULTATIONS

Meet with an integrative medicine physician for an unhurried, personalized assessment and find the health care you’ve been looking for.

OPTIMAL HEALTH CONSULTATION $230 / 425
Experience truly modern medicine. Integrating the best conventional and complementary approaches, a Canyon Ranch physician guides you toward optimal health using the insights of both Western and non-Western medicine. Address your overall health and specific concerns, including cardiovascular risks, and get a plan for heart protection. Your physician may also offer cholesterol recommendations to help you prevent heart disease and possibly reverse existing conditions. In addition, you may discuss other health issues and be provided with recommendations about laboratory tests that will provide a comprehensive view of your health. For an initial consultation, 50 minutes is recommended. A 25-minute consultation is available for limited, specific health issues.

Note: The physician may recommend laboratory tests for an additional fee. Some lab results may not be finalized until after your departure. In this case, we will schedule a medical phone consultation with your physician to review the results and discuss treatment options, as appropriate. For maximum benefit, this phone consult needs to occur within six months of the laboratory test.

WOMEN’S HEALTH CONSULTATION $425
Concerned about health issues specific to women? A women’s health physician answers questions and addresses risks, preventive approaches and treatment options for heart disease, breast wellness, osteoporosis, PMS, menopause, stress management, depression, sexuality, exercise and weight control. Includes recommendations about hormone evaluation and cancer screening. 50 minutes.

Note: Laboratory and diagnostic studies are available for an additional fee.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CONSULTATION $425
Integrative medicine is a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying causes of conditions such as arthritis, digestive problems, autoimmune disorders, cancer, allergies, heart disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Your physician advises you about how to manage such chronic conditions by addressing nutritional, metabolic and psychological factors through diet and lifestyle. 50 minutes.

Note: Optional lab tests may be recommended for an additional fee.

COMPLEX INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CONSULTATION $655
If you have been evaluated or treated for an existing condition and would like to be assessed from an integrative medicine perspective, please bring or send your pertinent medical records and book this expanded consultation, which gives your Canyon Ranch physician time to thoroughly review your history before your appointment. 50 minutes.

PERSONALIZED PHYSICAL $425
This evaluation emphasizes health maintenance and disease prevention. A physician will perform a physical exam and consult with you to review findings and provide recommendations for better health. 50 minutes.

Note: Optional lab tests and additional tests such as Pap test, Cardiac Stress Test or Osteoporosis Prevention & Bone Density Evaluation may be added for an additional fee.

AYURVEDIC MEDICINE CONSULTATION $600
Learn how the principles of ayurveda, the ancient medical system of India, can clarify your self-care. Ayurvedic medicine provides a model for diagnosis, prevention and treatment that focuses on the total health of each person based on “doshas.” Doshas are physical, emotional and mental constitutions or “types.” When the doshas are balanced you enjoy optimal health and peace of mind; when they are out of balance you feel lack of energy, pain and illness. During this consultation with a physician, learn how imbalances in your constitution relate to any health concerns you may have, and discuss recommendations including diet, exercise and herbs for restoring health. 80 minutes.

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE CONSULTATION $300
Focus on natural ways of preventing illness and addressing chronic health conditions. A comprehensive discussion of your health history, a review of your body’s systems and nontraditional laboratory testing help the naturopathic doctor to evaluate you from a natural perspective. Food allergies or intolerances, impaired detoxification, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances are just a few of the problems that may contribute to chronic conditions such as arthritis, asthma, eczema, allergies, fatigue and lingering infections. Your naturopathic doctor can prescribe a treatment plan that may include diet and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, herbs, homeopathy and acupuncture. This approach is complementary to traditional treatments. 50 minutes.

Note: Optional lab tests may be recommended for an additional fee.

GENOMICS

Most disease processes are caused by an interaction between genetics, lifestyle and environment. We are now able to accurately determine some of the genetic differences that may predispose us to disease.

GENOMICS $425 / 235
Genomics testing is particularly helpful for people with a family history of significant disease, people wanting to take a proactive stance on their health, and those with challenging medical issues.

Part I – Genomics Consultation
Using information about your genetic inheritance, learn how to optimize your health through lifestyle and dietary and medical therapies.

  • Preliminary consultation with a physician to review medical, family and lifestyle history and determine which tests are right for you. 50 minutes.
  • Lab testing (additional fees apply)
  • Follow-up with physician to review results of tests by phone or in person.

Note: Genomics lab tests and related physician analysis and follow-up fees depend on specific profiles investigated. Please ask for price list.

Part II – Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics is the emerging science of the potential influence of food and nutrient supplements on genetic expression. In this consultation, which is an in-depth follow-up to a Genomics consultation, a nutritionist identifies eating strategies and supplements that support your genetic pattern. 50 minutes.

SLEEP MEDICINE

Adequate, restful sleep is one of the foundations of health. Sleep better with the help of an expert.

MEDICAL SLEEP DISORDERS $425
Our physicians will assess the nature of your sleep problems and recommend diagnostic and treatment options. If you have daytime sleepiness, wake up often during the night, or if you snore, schedule this consultation early in your stay to allow time for additional testing. If appropriate, an unmonitored, overnight, in-room sleep study to check for common sleep disorders – including apnea and restless-leg syndrome – is available. 50 minutes.

Note: If you are unable to fall asleep or wake up too early, we recommend a Sleep Enhancement/Insomnia consultation.

SLEEP ENHANCEMENT/INSOMNIA $150
Sleep problems may be the most common health concern today. Untreated, they can slowly erode mental and physical well-being, leading to serious consequences. A consultation may be helpful if you suffer from insomnia or if you regularly need pills to sleep. A licensed therapist examines the nature and degree of your problem and offers suggestions to overcome it. 50 minutes.

SEXUALITY & INTIMACY

Sometimes it’s difficult to talk about this vital part of life – a caring Canyon Ranch expert can help.

SEXUAL HEALTH $215 / 370
Enhance your sexual function and your enjoyment of this important part of life. A certified sex counselor or licensed therapist answers your questions and helps you explore your concerns regarding sexual satisfaction, decreased libido, problems with orgasm, comfort and fulfillment. Areas of focus may include postoperative concerns, coping with disabilities, sexual boredom, body image, menopause and inhibitions. 50 minutes for an individual; 100 minutes for a two-person consultation.

SPECIALTY SERVICES

Our superb staff is here to help you feel better – get assessed by the best.

PHYSICAL THERAPY $180
Knee, ankle or shoulder pain or stiffness? Aching back? Sore neck? Meeting with an experienced physical therapist may be just the answer to nagging problems. Assessment, advice and hands-on treatment can alleviate pain and tightness as well as improve biomechanical alignment. If you’ve been told to “live with it,” or you think you should be better by now, try this. A home exercise program and self-correcting techniques will be provided if appropriate. 50 minutes.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

Nowhere else will you find complete diagnostic testing at your convenience.

CARDIAC STRESS TEST $585
This test detects heart and blood pressure problems and helps the physician evaluate the safety and efficiency of your exercise program. Consider taking it if you are starting an exercise program, need to find a personal target heart rate, have a family history of heart disease or are over 50. Performed by a preventive medicine physician and includes a cardiac-risk history, a heart exam and physician’s recommendations. 50 minutes.

CARDIOMETABOLIC STRESS TEST WITH PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTING $830
This service will give you a complete picture of your current cardiac and lung function, exercise efficiency and performance. While you walk or run on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike, a physician uses advanced testing equipment to determine your aerobic fitness level (VO2 maximum), optimal exercise heart rates, anaerobic threshold and accurate calories burned at any given heart rate. This test is also the state of the art for determining the safety of your participation in an exercise program: You will be screened for heart arrhythmias, EKG changes, exercise-induced asthma, obstructive lung disorders and blood pressure tolerance of exercise. Whether you’re training for a triathlon or just getting started exercising, this service will help you work out with maximum safety and efficiency – and get maximum results.

Part I – A physician uses an EKG and a metabolic cart to measure your oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and cardiac and lung function during exercise. This test can be performed on a treadmill or bicycle. 80 minutes (30 minutes of set-up and preparation; 50 minutes of testing).

Part II – In a follow-up session, an exercise physiologist uses your results to create an exercise prescription specifically designed for your needs and goals. 50 minutes.

CARDIOVASCULAR PROFILE ASSESSMENT $445
Determine your cardiovascular disease risk with this one-of-a-kind, noninvasive diagnostic test, which assesses the elasticity or flexibility of your small and large arteries. Men and women with diabetes, hypertension or a family history of these diseases may benefit from this test. Our physicians will assess your cardiovascular risk, develop treatment strategies, and determine whether you are in need of more aggressive testing and follow-up. You will be provided with a printout of the results. You may add this test to a physical or schedule it after a discussion with your Canyon Ranch physician.

Part I – Testing. 25 minutes.

Part II – Review of results and treatment options with your Canyon Ranch physician. 25 minutes.

BIOMARKER HEALTH STATUS $3,715
Biophysical250® is a robust blood assessment that provides a comprehensive health evaluation. If you’re concerned about your health or wish to know more about your current state of well-being and what you can do to prevent disease, the Biophysical250 is for you. With one blood draw, this test surveys biomarkers that could indicate many conditions and diseases, among them:

Autoimmune disease – including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus

Cardiovascular disease – including risk for heart attack and stroke

Cancer – including breast, colon, liver, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic

Hormonal imbalances – including menopause, testosterone deficiency and thyroid deficiency

Metabolic disorders – including diabetes and metabolic syndrome

Nutritional status – including vitamin and protein deficiencies

Viral and bacterial diseases – including mononucleosis and pneumonia

Biomarkers are “stackable,” allowing physicians to see multiple risk-factors for a single disease at a glance. This service includes:

  • Initial assessment with a Canyon Ranch physician
  • Nursing assessment and questionnaire-completion with standard blood-test draw
  • Comprehensive report and interpretive findings of your biomarker results
  • Follow-up phone consultation with your Canyon Ranch physician to discuss results and develop treatment plans as necessary. Times vary.

DEXA BODY COMPOSITION $420
The state-of-the-art Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, which is also used for bone density measurement, precisely measures lean body mass and fat distribution. (This test uses a low level of radiation.)

Part I – A medical technician administers the test. 25 minutes.

Part II – A physician interprets your results and advises you about reducing your risk for disease. 25 minutes.

Part III – In a third session, meet with an exercise physiologist who helps you plan an exercise program for changing body composition. 25 minutes.

HEART-RATE VARIABILITY TESTING $345
This sophisticated test is helpful for anyone concerned about stress, depression or anxiety, and for people living with diabetes. Using a computerized recording of your heart rhythm, your heart-rate variability – an indicator of stress and heart attack risk – is assessed.

Part I – Testing. 25 minutes.

Part II – Your Canyon Ranch physician reviews the results with you and recommends techniques to improve your heart-rate variability. 25 minutes.

Note: Recommended as a standard annual test for people with diabetes.

OSTEOPOROSIS PREVENTION & BONE DENSITY EVALUATION $390
Bone loss (osteopenia or osteoporosis) puts both men and women at risk for spine and hip fractures, a common cause of late-life pain and immobility. Your physician evaluates your bone mineral density using DEXA technology and then explains your results and offers recommendations. For women, this can help in making decisions about hormone-replacement therapy, other medications and exercise programs. Younger women at risk for osteoporosis because of chronic dieting, compulsive over-exercising, family history or low dietary calcium can use these test results as a baseline in overall health planning. Men at risk, smokers, and people over 60 should also consider this service – at-risk individuals receive valuable advice about exercise and calcium replacement. 50 minutes.

Note: Can be combined with DEXA Body Composition.

VISION, HEARING & SPIROMETRY $500
Because your vision, hearing and lung capacity can change over time, it’s important to have a professional screening periodically. You may request one or all three of these easy, non-invasive tests. Please allow 25 minutes for one test, or 50 minutes for all three, plus 15 minutes for follow-up with a Canyon Ranch physician.

EXERCISE & MOVEMENT

Besides being fun, a well-rounded program of physical activities makes you more energetic, helps you handle stress, increases your chance of longevity and good health and makes physical tasks easier. Try something new or polish an old skill at Canyon Ranch.

This quick, precise, computerized assessment of the way you walk is used to make recommendations for orthotics – inserts for shoes – that correct these problems simply and effectively, preventing further wear and tear, and, in many cases, greatly reducing pain.

MASSAGE & BODY WORK

These services stimulate circulation, relieve muscle tension and promote deep relaxation – and when the body relaxes, it heals. Close your eyes and indulge in our signature body treatments, traditional and modern Asian massages and restorative touch therapies.

HOW TO RECEIVE A MASSAGE
  • Give yourself plenty of time before your massage so you can enjoy the steam room, sauna or whirlpool. Warm muscles benefit most from body work.
  • A warm shower just before your massage is relaxing and washes away any salts, minerals or chemicals that could clog pores when mixed with massage oils. Then, put on your robe and meet your therapist in the locker room waiting area.
  • Unless the service description specifies that your massage will be received clothed, undress completely and wear a robe to your massage. You will be able to take your robe off and cover yourself in privacy. You will be draped with a sheet throughout the service to preserve modesty. For services that are received clothed, light, loose-fitting clothes are ideal.
  • We use fragrance-free massage oil; lotion is available on request.
  • Communication is the key to getting the massage you want. During your massage, let your therapist know if you feel any discomfort.
  • Because every body is different, our superb massage staff is eclectic, multi-talented and devoted to giving you a massage that satisfies your needs. Please communicate with your therapist and listen to your body.
  • Close your eyes and allow your mind and body to be quiet. Focus on how you feel. Breathe deeply and let tension slip away with each breath. Remember, this time is for you.

You will be provided with information to help you continue the process of positive change at home. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. 100 minutes.

The effect is indescribable. 100 minutes.

MARMA CHIKITSA $160
This ancient, holistic treatment combines touch therapy with transdermal aromatherapy. Pure essential oils, chosen for your dosha (body type), are applied with light pressure to marmas – points on the skin where, according to ayurvedic thought, your subconscious mind communicates with your body. These doorways, when stimulated, send messages to internal organs and vital functions, helping to regulate the flow of energy and nutrients throughout the body. This is a profoundly relaxing and energetically balancing treatment. (For the ultimate ayurvedic healing treatment, follow with a Bindi-Shirodhara.) 50 minutes.

SPIRITUALITY

Canyon Ranch is mindful of the importance of your health on all levels, and spiritual health is no exception. Just like your body, your spirit needs and craves nourishment and growth, and simply shifting your attention as you participate in your day-to-day activities while at Canyon Ranch may enrich the spiritual dimension of your experience. Often in life, people focus on tangible, visible change: losing weight, toning muscles and healthy eating. Engaging in those mostly physical activities can also have a deep, internal effect that will ignite your spirit. It is important to recognize, however, that it really is the intangible things like your attitude, values, sense of self, meaning and peace of mind that most dramatically influence your choices and total well-being. Such changes are often the most elusive, and spiritual practices and perspectives can help you to make them lasting.

During your stay there are a wealth of opportunities for you to address your spiritual growth. Walk our beautiful labyrinth; breathe deep in the clean mountain air; attend to the plant and animal life all around you. You may choose to make a personal commitment to cultivate a sense of peace, meaning and clarity in your life through the Ranch’s spiritually focused classes and services. Take advantage of skilled and experienced experts who are available to guide you into the depths of the spiritual world.

A wide range of services is available to our young guests. Take some time to review your choices and start planning the perfect stay.

Please note that all guests between the ages of 14 and 17 and an accompanying guardian are required to meet with a nurse at the beginning of each stay. Nurses provide guidance and suggestions on making the most of your Canyon Ranch experience. They are available to answer any questions you have about options and services. A parent or guardian is required to sign a consent form during this meeting.

Fitness and outdoor sports activities are available based on your fitness level as well as your physical size and abilities. Please note that at the discretion of Canyon Ranch staff, guests may be asked to leave a class or activity if there are concerns for their safety.
