Dr. Todd Levins ND received his Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of Victoria. He later completed his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Toronto). Dr. Levins strongly believes that health is a balanced and dynamic expression of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy. Active body, active mind, active spirit. Each individual’s unique path to greater health is best determined through the mutual work of the doctor and the patient. This process begins with understanding the body’s specific demands on health and identifying the obstacles to healing. Using the medicines that nature provided and the best of science, Dr. Levins guides the patient/ doctor relationship to create sustained changes in health. Dr. Levins has clinical expertise in sports medicine and integrative pain management treatment. Having lived with a personal focus on sport and fitness Dr. Levins well knows the pitfalls associated with recreational, competitive and elite sport performance and training. Getting restored and back to doing what we love is what motivates us and keeps us in balanced health. The process of instilling, promoting and reinforcing this approach with each patient is a hallmark of Dr. Levins’ practice.
Everyone deserves to experience a more fulfilling life by remaining vital and active. Guided by naturopathic principles, Dr. Levins uncovers the mechanisms and contributions to the sources of pain and compromised health. Understanding pain in the context of structure, biomechanics, energetics, nutrition and hormonal health is critical to the alleviation of chronic pain and a necessary step to true progressive healing. Relieving pain and educating patients on avoidance of pain triggers (or inducers) are some of the most profound contributions a physician can provide to a patient. While it is often necessary to direct treatment at pain generators, treating and understanding all the factors involved in the perception of pain are critical to long-term freedom from pain. Vibrant health is lived through movement and freedom from pain. Upon identification of sources of pain Dr. Levins incorporates nutrition, manual treatments, acupuncture, neural therapy, prolotherapy and platelet rich plasma as tools to address pain and healing.
