Bio-Thermal Therapy®: A Natural Approach to Healing

At Portland Clinic of Holistic Health, we believe in combining advanced naturopathic medicine with proven therapies to support the body's natural healing process. One of the unique treatments we offer is Bio-Thermal Therapy®, a therapeutic approach that utilizes controlled applications of heat and cold to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.

What is Bio-Thermal Therapy®?

Bio-Thermal Therapy® is a specialized treatment that combines physical therapy units with a thermal towel technique. By alternating hot and cold applications in precise ways, the therapy activates the body’s natural responses, improving circulation, boosting immune activity, and speeding up healing.

This gentle yet powerful therapy has been used worldwide to address both chronic and acute conditions.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Bio-Thermal Therapy® has been shown to support patients with a wide variety of conditions, including:

Irritable Bowel Disease and Colitis
Eczema and Psoriasis
Arthritis, Back, and Extremity Pain
Asthma, Sinusitis, and Bronchitis
PMS, Menopause, and Urinary Infections
Cancer
Prostate Disease
Auto-immune Disorders
Post-surgical Rehabilitation and Healing
Joint Sprains and Fractures
Post-dentistry Infection Management
And many other acute and chronic health concerns

Because Bio-Thermal Therapy® works with your body’s healing mechanisms, it’s a versatile therapy that can benefit people at many different stages of health and recovery.

How Does Bio-Thermal Therapy® Work?

The therapy relies on the body’s natural responses to temperature changes:

Heat therapy relaxes muscles, increases blood flow, and brings nutrients and oxygen to tissues in need.
Cold therapy reduces swelling, calms inflammation, and helps manage pain.
Alternating heat and cold stimulates the nervous system and immune system, creating a whole-body healing effect.

Together, these applications help the body “reset” its balance, encouraging improved function in circulation, immune defense, and tissue repair.

Why Choose Bio-Thermal Therapy®?

Patients often choose Bio-Thermal Therapy® because it’s:

Non-invasive – No surgery or drugs required.
Holistic – Supports the whole body, not just symptoms.
Evidence-informed – Backed by decades of naturopathic use and clinical observation.
Versatile – Can be integrated with other naturopathic or conventional treatments for stronger outcomes.

At Portland Clinic of Holistic Health, Dr. Eric Blake and our team are trained in providing Bio-Thermal Therapy® as part of individualized, patient-centered care.

Is Bio-Thermal Therapy® Right for You?

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or a condition that hasn’t responded well to conventional care, Bio-Thermal Therapy® may provide the support your body needs to heal.

We invite you to schedule a consultation and learn whether Bio-Thermal Therapy® is the right approach for your health.
