What is Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a primary healthcare system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Its philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease

Naturopathic Doctors can provide:

• An individualized approach to health care, as every patient is unique

• Time with patients, in order to better understand the issues at hand

• A physical exam much like a medical doctor

• Requests for, and review of lab tests

• Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic health concerns

Therapies that may be used as part of your treatment plan include:

• Diet and Nutrition counselling

• Nutritional Supplements

• Botanical (herbal) Medicine

• Acupuncture
