Naturopathic Medicine 101

Q:  What exactly is a naturopathic doctor?  What can naturopathic medicine do for me?

A:  Naturopathic doctors receive similar training to medical doctors, with the main difference being how we approach a patient’s case and the treatments we use.  We aim to treat the whole person, and to find the root cause of illness rather than treating symptoms.  For instance, if a patient has headaches, I focus on finding the cause rather than having them take painkillers.

Treatments used by naturopathic doctors include clinical nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, vitamin injections, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling.  Since all naturopathic doctors are unique, I offer 15 minute complimentary consultations to provide the opportunity to meet me and have your questions answered about how I would approach your health concern.
