What is Naturopathic Care?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of health care. It takes both a comprehensive and individualized approach. Focusing on addressing the root cause of illness is a key factor in Naturopathic care.  Naturopathic doctors are highly trained primary care providers. They combine scientific knowledge with a wide range of natural therapies. These therapies promote both health and well being.

ND's Recognize that illness or disease can be influenced by several factors. Because of this,  naturopathic doctors take an integrative approach. They explore not only physical, but mental, emotional, environmental and genetic aspects of your concern. The primary goal of treatment is to address the underlying cause of disease. This gets to the root cause rather than suppressing symptoms. Additionally they support the natural healing process of the body. Overall there is an emphasis on health education, and prevention.

Naturopathic medicine treats all forms of health concerns. This includes from paediatric to geriatric, from acute to chronic illness and from the physical to the psychological. In most cases, you will be treated using a combination of naturopathic modalities. These modalities will be individually tailored to you and your health concerns. Your treatments can include evidence based nutritional supplementation and clinical nutrition. In addition they may include acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, botanical medicine, preventative and lifestyle counselling, B12 injections etc..
