Laboratory Screening & Testing

Know your true nutritional and hormonal needs.....

Available at Bowen Therapy Clinics are the following diagnostic tools used to assess a patient’s progress most often used in conjunction with conventional Laboratory services provided by their primary physician or healthcare provider which are viewed from a functional perspective and may reveal other areas of functional disturbance.

Salivary Hormone Testing
Female Salivary Hormone Panels:  For women aged 12-60 years old.  Salivary hormone testing uncovers true biological hormonal imbalances which often remain unidentified by conventional blood hormone testing.  Several hormones are tested to identify where the imbalance lies – these include: Estrogen, Progesterone, DHEA-s, Cortisol, and Testosterone. 

Male Salivary Hormone Panels:  For men aged 12-60 years old.  Salivary male hormone panels are capable of unconvering the imabalances in male hormones.  Clinically, you may be experiencing symptoms of decreased libido, fatigue, pre-mature ageing, decreased muscle or bone mass.

Individual Salivary Hormone Measurements: DHEA-s, Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone, Progesterone, Cortisol, and Testosterone.  Individual salivary hormone testing is indicated in many conditions, including, but not limited to: infertility, weight gain, fatigue, osteoporosis, decreased libido, insomnia, chronic pain, depression, irritability, and various hormone-dependant cancers.

Complete Thyroid Assessment
A urine sample is collected to identify the root cause of your thyroid symptoms.  Clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism are seldomly revealed by conventional blood tests of free-T4 and TSH levels. 

Bone Resorption Tests
A urinary test can be preformed to quantify the degree of bone loss.  Bone breakdown products are measured from a urine sample.  This test is used to gauge the effectiveness of conventional (Fosamax) and naturopathic (nutrients) treatment in slowing or reversing your bone loss.
