Ryan Minarik, ND, L.Ac.
Naturopathic Physician
Licensed Acupuncturist

Dr. Minarik has taken many opportunities to expand the scope of his practice to unique and specialized therapies outside the standard training of most naturopathic doctors. His studies have allowed him to become a diverse practitioner who is able to treat a wide range of conditions, from family primary care scenarios to serious and chronic conditions. He has gained experience serving as a resident doctor for 2 years at the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon. His fields of interest involve both sports/physical medicine and chronic disease. Dr. Minarik received both his doctorate in naturopathic medicine and masters in classical Chinese medicine from NCNM.

Dr. Minarik has a special interest in sports medicine, being active in many sports himself. He has obtained additional, specialized training and certificates in IV therapy (including heavy metal chelation), Nasospecific technique (for chronic sinus/nasal problems and infections), Biopuncture (www.biopuncture.info), Kinesiotaping (www.kinesiotaping.com), Neural Therapy, and Prolotherapy (certification through the American College of Osteopathic and Sclerotherapeutic Pain Management, www.acospm.com). Techniques such as injection therapies and kinesiotaping have given him the tools to treat conditions that other medical treatments have not been able to address, or where surgery may have been offered as the only alternative.

Dr. Minarik is native to the Pacific Northwest, growing up in Washington State and attending the University of Washington in Seattle as an undergraduate. His interests outside of medicine include traveling, and most any outdoor activity he can participate in such as rock climbing, kite boarding, snowboarding, tennis, soccer, hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing.
