A unique approach to health care
Naturopathic medicine is a unique form of primary health care that combines modern scientific research with the art and wisdom of traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is predicated on the belief that all living organisms have an innate capacity to heal. As such, naturopathic physicians structure their interventions in order to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Using gentle and non invasive means, naturopathic physicians tailor their treatment plans to the unique needs of the individual, taking into account the physical, emotional, environmental and spiritual influences impacting the patient’s health.
Is Naturopathic Medicine for you?
You should consider seeing a Naturopathic doctor if you:
- Are looking for disease prevention and health promotion strategies.
- Have a range of symptoms that you have been unable to address on your own or with the help of other medical practitioners.
- Have been diagnosed with an illness, often serious or chronic and are looking for alternative treatments. Naturopathic medicine is very effective for improving quality of life for those with serious and life threatening illnesses.
- Are looking to combine conventional and Naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs, surgery or conventional treatments.
- Would like to have a partner to guide you along your healing journey.
Conditions treated with Naturopathic Medicine
Given that the basis for Naturopathic Medicine is deeply rooted in the belief that the body possesses the ability to heal itself, there is very little that it cannot treat. Naturopathic Medicine offers effective treatments for both acute and chronic conditions. Naturopathic Medicine is of particular value when it comes to preventing the circumstances that foster the development of chronic disease. To that end, your Naturopathic doctor will request laboratory work and interpret their findings, perform early screening tests such as prostate exams, gynecological exams and of course conduct a complete physical exam.
For patients of all ages, from headaches to high blood pressure to cancer, Naturopathic treatment always attempts to find the root cause of disease by treating the whole person and maximizing the body’s inherent healing capacity. If you are someone who has “been through the system” or if you are simply looking to optimize your health through natural means, Naturopathic Medicine offers a comprehensive approach that is designed just for you.
