How We Treat
Tests and Biometrics
Advanced Diagnostics to Understand the Root Cause
At KALE Functional Medicine, we believe that accurate testing is the foundation of effective treatment. Our comprehensive testing protocols go deeper than conventional lab work to uncover hidden imbalances, deficiencies, and dysfunctions that may be contributing to your health concerns.
Unlike mainstream medicine, which often relies on standard tests with broad “normal” ranges, our approach utilizes expanded testing panels and more precise optimal ranges to identify subtle imbalances before they develop into disease. This preventative approach allows us to address the root causes of health issues rather than simply managing symptoms.
The KALE Difference: Precision Testing
Comprehensive Assessment
Our testing philosophy is based on gathering detailed information about your unique biochemistry to develop truly personalized treatment plans. We believe that each person has individual biochemical needs that require a customized approach to testing and treatment.
Early Detection
Many functional imbalances can be detected through specialized testing long before they would be identified through conventional medical testing. This early detection allows for preventative interventions that can help avoid the development of chronic disease.
Solving at the Source
Rather than simply identifying disease states, our testing helps uncover the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms, allowing for targeted interventions that address these root causes.

Emsella Treatments
We offer FDA-approved Emsella treatments that utilize High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. This non-invasive procedure delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions to the pelvic floor during a single session, helping to restore neuromuscular control.
Emsella treatments are particularly beneficial for:
- Women experiencing urinary incontinence
- Postpartum recovery
- Pelvic floor strengthening
- Core stability enhancement

Patient Success Stories
I was happy to find a female – personal preference – doctor (MD) who could assist with all of my medical needs versus a nurse practitioner or chiropractor who was also doing holistic medicine. Dr. Rowley’s smile and compassion put me at ease immediately…
