About

Realm Naturopathic Integrative Medicine & Acupuncture in Coronado occupies a ground-floor clinic at 1105 8th Street, where Dr. Laurence Freitas, ND, LAc, MPH, MPP, provides naturopathic primary care and acupuncture under one practice. Dr. Freitas holds four graduate degrees — a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, licensure as an acupuncturist, and dual master's degrees in Public Health and Public Policy — applying evidence-based natural medicine to chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, and hormonal imbalance on Coronado Island. The 92118 clinic's treatment protocols include acupuncture sessions for musculoskeletal rehabilitation, vitamin injections, IV nutrient therapy, and functional laboratory testing that investigates root-cause pathology rather than symptom suppression. That integrative rehab approach parallels the aquatic-based recovery protocols at Water & Sports Physical Therapy elsewhere on the island, where movement-based rehabilitation addresses similar musculoskeletal conditions. Naturopathic oncology support and GI health assessments expand the scope beyond what conventional primary care typically covers, and herbal medicine prescriptions are tailored to each patient's lab work. Follow-up consultations are available via telehealth for residents and military families stationed at North Island Naval Air Station. The 8th Street location sits in Coronado's residential corridor several blocks inland from Orange Avenue and Hotel Del Coronado, providing a quieter clinical setting away from the Village's commercial foot traffic. Dr. Freitas also offers complimentary 15-minute phone consultations for prospective patients evaluating whether naturopathic medicine fits their care plan, an intake model shared by Global Holistic Solutions on C Avenue. The practice treats men's health concerns, women's health and fertility support, insomnia, and mental health conditions through a Traditional Chinese Medicine framework integrated with Western diagnostic standards.
