Naturopathic Services
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that uses evidence-based research and natural treatment methods to address a variety of acute and chronic health conditions. The underlying principle of naturopathic medicine is to treat the root cause of the disease by stimulating the innate healing power of the body. Naturopathic doctors take the time to evaluate all aspects of a person, including physical health, mental well-being, & social/environmental factors, in order to develop customized treatment plans that best address the person's needs.
Why visit a naturopath?
If you're looking for answers to your health concerns, are having symptoms that are odd - such as inexplicable fatigue, sickness, or just don't feel 'right', and you want to have an active role in your health, visiting a naturopathic doctor may be right for you. Naturopathic doctors spend a significant amount time with their patients addressing all health concerns; you won't be limited to 10 minute visits or 1 health question per visit. By assessing all factors contributing to health, naturopathic doctors develop customized treatment plans that work and last.
