There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases that are currently known to the medical research. While all autoimmune diseases are different (and lead to different symptoms, pains, and frustrations), they all have something in common.
Autoimmune Disease is when your immune system believes that part of your body is a foreign entity and attacks itself. Your immune system’s job is to keep away foreign invaders that can negatively impact your health. That’s its job.
But, sometimes your immune system can be too diligent in warding off invaders. There are instances where your immune system will believe that your colon is a foreign entity and attack it – leading to inflammation, pain, and serious symptoms (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis). Or, it might believe that your joints are foreign and attack those (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis).

Autoimmune diseases can be hard to live with, and that’s why our doctors are dedicated in helping you deal with and manage your Autoimmune disease and the many symptoms that can come from these conditions. Treatment of autoimmune disease focuses on controlling the autoimmune reaction so you can better manage the symptoms you’re experiencing.
Autoimmune diseases are known to be lifelong conditions that can be managed and treated. According to modern scientific literature, autoimmune diseases are NOT curable – instead, they usually have periods of flare-ups (where symptoms worsen) and periods of remission (where symptoms are less intense or not noticeable at all). While this is the case, there is recent literature that is discussing the use of alternative treatments (such as stem cell therapy) that has been shown to completely reverse autoimmune diseases (not just put them into remission).
Recent research of stem cells for autoimmune diseases states that: “Stem cell-based therapies offer many exciting possibilities for the development of novel treatments, and perhaps even cures, for autoimmune diseases.” Other research has concluded that factors that trigger, perpetuate and exacerbate autoimmune disease are: modern Western diet, chronic stress, changes in gut microbiota, environmental toxins, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, reduced sun exposure, and other unidentified aspects of the modern lifestyle.
Depending on your type of autoimmune disease, the benefits can include:

This visit , I did the P20 machine for my feet and loved it!❤️🥰🧚🏽♀️
I've been a patient for 8 years. Dr Paul is a healer and a friend!
I love doing a foot soak, felt so good to do so, Dr Paul and staff do a great job ! ❤️🥰🧚🏽♀️
I go when I need a tune up or my back gets achy and I can't stretch my way out of it. Dr Paul finds a way to help using a variety of methods that I don't always understand. He knows a lot of approaches to health and brings that all together to make me feel healthy. Part of his approach is making a personal connection to patients. He keeps up a running good natured conversation about my hobby the whole time he is working on fixing what I messed up by not taking care of myself well enough. I'm lucky folks don't know how good this guy is or I wouldn't be able to get an appointment.
Dr Paul is the man! I’d refer him to anyone that is interested in improving their overall health and wellness. Super knowledgeable, attentive, easy to talk to, and open minded. I look forward to every appointment on my calendar and hope to keep seeing him for many years to come!
I’m looking for alternative and natural healthcare. I can count on Dr. Paul and his staff to provide it. Common illnesses can be treated with chiropractic, acupuncture and natural remedies that Dr. Paul uses to treat his patients. I’m grateful for having Northstar available to meet my natural healthcare needs.
Great staff with awesome doctors specially doctor Paul is the best as a business owner I’m standing all day at work and I go in for lower back pain I always come out feeling better they definitely take care of me I highly recommended also they offer different resources for your health like vitamin shots, B12, detox and more check them out…..
Great doctor and even better atmosphere! I highly recommend
Awesome Dr. Amazing and the fantastic staff! We're seeing great results in no time!
The treatment I received took away my sciatica pain, which was significant!!! Miraculous relief after my first treatment.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor who goes above and beyond, Dr. Paul is your man. He gets to the root of your problem in a holistic and natural way. Doesn’t throw pills at you to test symptoms; he treats the cause. I always feel great leaving there and highly recommend this practice for all your chiropractic and medical (Dr. Paul is also a nurse practitioner!) needs.
Very impressed with this clinic. I've dealt with back pain for a long time and Dr. Paul is very helpful & patient. I'd recommend to anyone local who is having a hard time finding someone reliable.
Dr. Paul has made all the difference in the healing we have experienced! We are so grateful to him and all the staff.<br><br>Blessings to you all and your families!
I was very impressed with the services provided at NORTHSTAR. Dr Paul took time explaining his approach and treatment plan following my evaluation. Dr Paul and his staff are very attentive and thorough with getting started with services.
Dr. Paul and staff continue to provide personal, thorough, informed, thoughtful and professional services, encompassing both where each patient is at the moment as well as a broader picture of each individual’s history and health goals.
Excellent clinic. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The doctor consistently takes the time to listen and thoroughly understand any concerns. He looks beyond the surface of the issue and strives to identify and address the underlying cause.
Dr. Paul is amazing! I had an extreme pain in my hip flexor and unable to walk. After a fifteen minute session, pain was gone and I was able move without pain. Just wonderful staff and service. Highly recommend this place for chiropractic care.
Dr Paul and the staff are always a pleasure to visit.<br>Doc works on deep level issues beyond what my skeletal system is showing in the moment. He has extremely intuitive skills<br><br>I very much enjoy each visit
Quality of are. Personal attention from ALL staff.<br>Genuine in all inter actions.
Dr. Paul is great. He has definitely helped me with multiple issues. I would highly recommend Northstar.
Dr. Paul is very knowledgeable in his work. I am confident in his approach, diagnosis and therapy
Good vibes all around. Satisfactory experience overall.
I’ve recommended this place to all my friends and coworkers! They keep me pain free!
Magic, hung the moon, the goods, miracle worker. These are all ways I describe Dr. Paul; if I could put him in my pocket, I would. As a patient of his for nearly a decade, I can honestly say that he has changed my life.<br><br>I initially went to him for back issues because I had shoveled heavy snow and caused a past accident injury to flare up. He not only fixed that, but also resolved my IBS, which was something I truly thought I had to live with forever more.<br>To have such a sound balance of Eastern and Western medicine at my fingertips is a gift.<br>He takes time to educate you, which is so empowering. His commitment to emotional and mental health shines through with his monthly Wellness Group that gives you even more of an opportunity to learn how to "self-serve" on some of the more Eastern techniques, if you are interested.<br>Dr. Paul's focus and tenacity to make sure that his patients walk out of his office and back into their lives with a body/system that is fully functioning and working harmoniously is something I love about him. He doesn't stop working on an issue until it is resolved.
Never rushed,. Dr. Paul 's maintenance plan keeps me moving.
Staff are all very patient and nice. Not much of waiting time and Dr. Paul is great at what he does. The energy of the place starts to heals you from the moment you enter the door.
Always a great experience with the doctor and office staff.
I originally started going to Northstar for neck pain. That pain is gone! I’ve been very happy with the services that they provide.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Paul and the entire team at Northstar Integrated Health. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Paul takes the time to truly listen to patient concerns, thoroughly investigates the root causes through appropriate testing, and offers real, effective solutions—not just temporary fixes to mask symptoms.<br><br>His approach is refreshing and empowering. He treats the body as a whole and focuses on reversing the actual causes of health issues. His depth of knowledge and commitment to healing are extraordinary. After years of frustration and disappointment with traditional doctors, I finally feel like I’m on a path to real recovery.<br><br>The staff at Northstar are equally impressive—kind, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to make patients feel comfortable and supported. My experience here has truly restored my faith in the medical system. I highly recommend Northstar Integrated Health to anyone seeking not just answers, but real healing.
