Naturopathic Medicine is a rapidly emerging field that is revolutionizing the way healthcare is being delivered.
There are four key areas that distinguish Naturopathic Doctors from any other healthcare practitioners.
1) Naturopathic Doctors look for the root cause(s) of your condition. Often times, conventional medical treatments are aimed at overriding a natural physiological process in the body in order to suppress a symptom. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am more concerned with how this condition developed in the first place and how we can remove or correct the causal factors in this process.
2) Naturopathic Doctors treat patients holistically. All of our organ systems within our bodies are so dependent on one another, that if one system is not functioning optimally, this will undoubtedly have a negative impact on other systems throughout the body. This is why we evaluate intestinal health, blood sugar regulation, detoxification, and other hormones when evaluating patients with thyroid conditions.
3) Naturopathic Doctors treat patients individually. Every patient is very different from each other and every patient has had different causes or factors that have contributed to the development of their health condition(s). As a Naturopathic Doctor, my role is to identify these underlying causes and your unique needs so that I can develop a treatment plan that is 100% tailored for you.
4) Naturopathic Doctors use natural treatments. Okay, this point is a little obvious; however, I would like to point out one very important thing. The power of Naturopathic Medicine does not come from WHAT we use as treatments, it comes from HOW we use these treatments. Therefore, the use of natural medicines will be much more successful when they are used according to our Naturopathic Principles that were described in the first three points.
I hope that give you some more insight into Naturopathic Medicine. If you would like to learn more or if you would like to schedule an appointment with a Naturopathic Doctor, please contact our Naturopathic clinic:
