Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a form of healthcare that emphasizes natural healing methods, including nutrition, herbal medicine, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are trained to identify and treat the root cause of health issues, rather than just managing symptoms. They work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that incorporate a variety of natural therapies.

There are many different modalities within naturopathic medicine, including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. A naturopathic doctor may use one or several of these modalities to address a patient’s health concerns.

In your first session, your naturopathic doctor will take a detailed health history, including information about your current symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. They will also perform a physical exam and may order lab tests or other diagnostic procedures if needed. Based on this information, they will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your health issues.

Follow-up sessions may involve adjustments to the treatment plan based on your progress and ongoing health concerns. Your naturopathic doctor may also provide education and guidance on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and other natural therapies to support your health.

Please provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling appointments. A missed appointment fee may be charged for all missed appointments and late cancellations.

To get the most out of your naturopathic medicine sessions, it is important to:

• Arrive on time and be prepared to discuss your health concerns in detail.
• Follow the treatment plan provided by your naturopathic doctor, including any recommended lifestyle changes.
• Be open and honest with your naturopathic doctor about your symptoms and how you are feeling.
• Communicate any concerns or questions you may have about the treatment plan or natural therapies.
• Follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your naturopathic doctor, including any recommended supplements or dietary changes.
• Be mindful of your body and any changes in your symptoms or overall health, and provide feedback to your naturopathic doctor at your next appointment so they can adjust the treatment plan as needed.
